Could you please forward my trouble to the AX development team? Dear Sir, First of all, my name is Wandee Wanikpun. I am general manager of Innoviz Solutions in Thailand. We are AX partner with the largest number of AX consultant in Thailand. I have been implementing AX since Damgarrd time, since version 2.5. I am writing to you to let you know our difficulty in “deployment” of AX 2012. I strongly believed that this difficulty need to be addressed immediately among Microsoft’s Product team. One of our customer is using AX 2012 CU6. They recently had problem running the Inventory Closing (REG:114021111173205). Microsoft support team has been working on the bug fix for the past 2 months. Then we were told to install the “model” that consisted of 4 KB in customer’s test environment. What we found out in the model that Microsoft sent us is it was based upon the latest version of AX 2012. And it consisted of many fix for others issues as well. Obviously once we installed it on customer’s CU6, it crashed with our customization, as well as some Microsoft’s own’s code. This is because the model that Microsoft sent kind of force us to upgrade the application to the latest CU, whatever it will be. This would cost us to debug the whole application because of the errors, at least 2 weeks and another 1 week to retest the whole application. Microsoft engineer called me and tried to explain that it is Microsoft’s policy to send the model. There is nothing Microsoft can do to help. I told him that the way Microsoft support the bug fix will always trouble my customers because we always have additional customization for them. He told me that this is the risk the customer has to take once they decided to have customization. Vendor like us cannot afford to spend time to merge the application and fix the error every time Microsoft fix the bug. And it is not fair to the customer to pay for this service as well. Don’t you think? So, I am begging you; Microsoft AX product team, Microsoft AX develop team, to think of a new way to help fixing the bug that is more practical that what you are doing now. If you would like to discuss about this, feel free to call me anytime. Best regards, Wandee Wanikpun General Manager Innoviz Solutions Co., Ltd. 888/93 9th fl., Mahatun Plaza Building, Ploenchit Rd., Lumpini, Patumwan, Bangkok 10330 Thailand Mob: +66 81 8148001 Tel: +66 2 6514542 Fax: +66 2 6514552Anonymous
