|---|---|---|
RecID field cannot be part of the NaturalKey index. |
A RecID field was set as the replacement key. This best practice rule requires an exclusive RecID in the inheritance hierarchy. When you create a new field in a table, the best practice logic iterates through the inheritance hierarchy to make sure that the RecID and ReplacementKey indexes are exclusive. This best practice rule supports relational application design. |

BPErrorInheritedReturnTypeMustBeSameMap @SYS309722 |
The %1 relation to the %2 table does not have an upgrade script assigned. You must assign an upgrade script or exclude it from upgrade validation. |
The unit of measure table is now global. At upgrade, company-specific units are merged by using user-defined mapping. This merge requires that existing tables that have relations to the unit of measure also apply the mapping. This best practice rule checks for relations to the unit of measure. The rule then verifies that each relation to the unit of measure is registered with an upgrade script, or that the table is marked for exclusion from the upgrade. The following code illustrates how to register a unit of measure upgrade job: UnitOfMeasureUpgradeExecutor::registerUpgradeJobs() The following code illustrates how to exclude a unit of measure table: UnitOfMeasureUpgradeValidator::registerExcludedRelations() For information about pre-upgrade tasks that are related to units of measure, see Units, Unit conversions, Fixed units, and Unit texts. |

BPErrorSearchableQueryNoIndexOnTransactionTable @SYS333624 |
Element has changed name since previous release. If the rename is intentional then suppress this violation; otherwise, update the LegacyID. Old name was: %1 |
This best practice rule verifies that the element had the same name in the previous release of Microsoft Dynamics AX. If the name was intentionally changed, suppress the violation. This best practice check is not new, but the message has been updated. This check has been modified because of the changes that are related to installation-specific IDs. |
BPErrorObjectNameConflict @SYS335103 |
The element has an origin value that is different from the origin value in a previous version of Microsoft Dynamics AX. |
This best practice rule verifies that the element had the same origin value in earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX. The origin value is the beginning value of the element. This check was added because of the changes that are related to installation-specific IDs. |

Best Practice Checks Updated for Container Controls
Best practice checks for client forms were updated to verify the name and position for all container controls. The following table describes the changes that were made.
Message |
Description |
BPError code and label |
|---|---|---|
Control %1 bound to table field group has name that does not match default name of %2, consequently the control requires storage and cannot be optimized |
This best practice rule checks for situations in which the DataGroup property is set for a Group or Grid control, but the child control cannot be created automatically when the form is loaded. This situation occurs because the name that is bound to the table field group does not match the default name. Therefore, the control must be saved as metadata. Saving the control as metadata requires storage, and the control cannot be optimized. |
BPErrorFormGroupCannotBeOptimized @SYS68376 |
The form group and table group have different fields at position %1: '%2' != '%3', consequently the control requires storage and cannot be optimized |
This best practice rule checks for situations in which the DataGroup property is set for the Group or Grid control, but the child control cannot be created automatically when the form is loaded. This situation occurs because the controls in the form group do not match the position in the table field group. Therefore, the position must be saved as metadata. Saving the position as metadata requires storage, and the position cannot be optimized. |
BPErrorFormGroupControlDifFieldsAtPos @SYS68382 |
Because of the changes to best practice rules for container controls, best practices have been removed. The following table lists the best practice checks that were removed.
Message |
BPError code |
|---|---|
Group control bound to Table group has %1 auto-declaration(s), consequently it cannot be AOS optimized |
BPErrorFormCannotBeAOSoptimizedAD |
Group control bound to Table group has some other properties changed from default, consequently it cannot be AOS optimized |
BPErrorFormCannotBeAOSoptimizedPropChg |
Form group (%1) and table group (%2) have different number of fields, consequently they cannot be AOS optimized |
BPErrorFormGroupControlDifNumOfFields |
Best Practice Checks Updated for Workflow Approval on the Web
When you create workflows that will be used only on the web, only thin client menu items are required. Best practice rules were updated to account for this scenario. For more information, see Workflow Best Practices.
The following table describes the messages that were updated so that they now apply to both web menu items and action menu items.
Message |
BPError code and label |
|---|---|
The action menu item is not defined. The action menu item or the action Web menu item must be defined. |
