AX 2012 R2 Class Application startupPost method customized code error abort AX client.
How to enter AX again? i can't login again to correct the wrong coding because of this fatal error.
"Microsoft Dynamics AX client has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I cannot enter my AX anymore! Why?
because i put a wrong code in Class Application StartupPost method
// No SYS code must exist in this method
// If you need the startup command, look in the class SysStartupCmd
void startupPost()
{
// <GTH>
Args args = new Args();
#isoCountryRegionCodes
if (hasGUI()
&& isRunningMode()
&& !SysModelStore::isInstallMode()
&& SysCountryRegionCode::isLegalEntityInCountryRegion([#ISOTH])
&& isConfigurationkeyEnabled(configurationKeyNum(TaxThailandGovCertification)))
{
TaxThaiGovCertificationHelper::promptSysAboutForm(false);
}
// </GTH>
new MenuFunction(MenuItemDisplayStr(RBMT_Main),MenuItemType::Display).run(Args);
}
my problem code is
*new MenuFunction(MenuItemDisplayStr(RBMT_Main),MenuItemType::Display).run(Args);*
yeah i should have put it in an 'if (curUserId() == "me")'
yeah i should have ...
it should have never been there.
i modified in the USR layer. Tried to login again but the AX client can't enter into AX so i can't modify anything. Tried to login in lower layer but still i can't come in.
tried to use Visual Studio 2010 Application Explorer to save class to XPP and open notepad to modify and reload to application explorer, but still can't login.
I am unwelcome.
Is there a way in to AX without going through Class Application startupPost method?
it's like i can't enter my home even if i got my keys.
more problem is i have 2 other developer mates who can't login so they're really pissed, they need their codes too.
Please anybody knows how to overpass Class Application startupPost method?
I can't get in my AX!
Thanks very much.
ElanG.
its solved by using a Configuration command to run at kernal startup: -NOAUTO
1.) Open Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration Utility.
2.) in Tab [General], the entry field "Configuration command to run at kernel startup"
3.) type the command -noauto
4.) run MS Dynacmics AX
Thanks.
:)
In case you do not need the usr layer anymore you can just delete/uninstall the usr model. Provided you left it on the standard model. Then try again. Anyway I hope you have daily backups so if deleting the usr layer is not an option for you or if it did not solve your problem you can just restore a backup right?

I have an ASP.NET MVC application which is trying to open below OLE DB connection:
string conString = #"Provider=Advantage OLE DB Provider;Data Source=" + dbfFilePath + ";Extended Properties=dBASE IV;";
using (dBaseConnection = new OleDbConnection(conString))
{
dBaseConnection.Open();
// Some stuff
}
I have installed below package from here.
I am using this provider in order to access a dbf file (specified on the dbfFilePath variable) and then later add some information into it. When I perform the Open command on the above code snippet I get below exception message:
Error 6420: The 'Discovery' process for the Advantage Database Server failed. Unable to connect to the Advantage Database Server. axServerConnect AdsConnect.
Previously I was using VFPOLEDB.4 provider and it was working ok when reading and modifying the dbf file. The problem is that it is only available in 32-bit (there is no version in 64-bit) and now I need it to be in 64-bit so I decided to use Advantage OLE DB provider that is available in 64-bit and as far as I know it does the same as VFPOLEDB.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE 2020/11/16:
If I add some parameters to connection string:
string conString = #"Provider=Advantage OLE DB Provider;Data Source=" + dbfFilePath + ";ServerType=ADS_LOCAL_SERVER;TableType=ADS_VFP;Extended Properties=dBASE IV;";
Then when opening connection I get below exception:
Error 7077: The Advantage Data Dictionary cannot be opened. axServerConnect AdsConnect
UPDATE 2020/11/20:
var dbfFilePath =#"C:\MyApp\Temp"; // using c:\MyApp\Temp\myTable.dbf does not work (below open command fails)
string conString = #"Provider=Advantage OLE DB Provider;Data Source=" + dbfFilePath + ";ServerType=ADS_LOCAL_SERVER; TableType=ADS_VFP;";
using (dBaseConnection = new OleDbConnection(conString))
{
dBaseConnection.Open();
OleDbCommand insertCommand = dBaseConnection.CreateCommand();
insertCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO [myTable] VALUES (2,100)";
insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
Note: [myTable] has the same name that the dbf file within C:\MyApp\Temp.
Now open command works but when performing insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() it gets stuck (it does nothing).
UPDATE 2020/11/27:
Ok,I think I have detected what is happening. It works ok when using Advantage OLE DB provider in 32-bit, however, using Advantage OLE DB provider in 64-bit is not working. In both cases I use it on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 64-Bit and Advantage OLE DB provider is version 11.10.
I have checked this using LINQPad 5, and it works but when performing
insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
... and before doing the insert to the dbf file below warning modal window appears waiting for you to click on 'Accept' button. Once you click on the button, insert is done in dbf file correctly.
So, I guess that when running my web application (ASP.NET MVC app) in production environment this warning modal windows does not appear but in fact, it is waiting for you to click on the button to proceed inserting data in the dbf file but as this warning window is not visible (it is not shown) I can click on that button and consequently ExecuteNonQuery never ends (it stalls) and it stays waiting for you to click that button indefinitely.
How can I solve this error? can I modify ads.ini in some way in order to avoid this waring message to appear so application can work?
I see you removed the VFP tag which I think most relevant to this question :)
I again tested that with these codes as a sample and it worked without a glitch:
void Main()
{
string dbfFilesPath = #"C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT VISUAL FOXPRO 9\SAMPLES\Data";
string conString = $#"Provider=Advantage OLE DB Provider;Data Source={dbfFilesPath};ServerType=ADS_LOCAL_SERVER;TableType=ADS_VFP;";
DataTable t = new DataTable();
using (OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(conString))
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand($#"insert into Customer
(cust_id, company, contact)
values
(?,?,?)", cn))
{
cmd.Parameters.Add("#cId", OleDbType.VarChar);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#company", OleDbType.VarChar);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#contact", OleDbType.VarChar);
cn.Open();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
cmd.Parameters["#cId"].Value = $"XYZ#{i}";
cmd.Parameters["#company"].Value = $"Company XYZ#{i}";
cmd.Parameters["#contact"].Value = $"Contact XYZ#{i}";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
t.Load(new OleDbCommand($"select * from Customer order by cust_id desc", cn).ExecuteReader());
cn.Close();
}
t.Dump(); // tested in LinqPad AnyCPU version
}
Here is the partial result I got:
XYZ#9 Company XYZ#9 Contact XYZ#9 0.0000
XYZ#8 Company XYZ#8 Contact XYZ#8 0.0000
XYZ#7 Company XYZ#7 Contact XYZ#7 0.0000
XYZ#6 Company XYZ#6 Contact XYZ#6 0.0000

As it is not working for you, I think it might have to do with:
Access rights. You say, you use with ASP.Net MVC, I wonder if the 'connecting account' has only read access? In IIS, basic settings as I remember there were a setting for connect as. You might at least set it to connect by an account that has full rights to that directory.
Sharing. The file might be in use shared elsewhere and for some reason your insert is waiting trying to get lock?
SET NULL ON ? Another slight possibility. You might need to execute this first, on the same connection. If there are fields that you are not supplying a value in insert but "not null" in table structure would otherwise cause it to fail.
You might start testing the same file from say within LinqPad running with administrator rights to eliminate the access rights stuff alltogether (if data directory is under program files or program files (x86), then it is a problem by itself.
I would expect an immediate error message, but who knows maybe driver is waiting for a timeout in case of write access failure?
Some ideas (the way I do it:)
Instead of trying to use VFP data with 64 bits access, you might create a server that runs in 32 bits IIS Application pool (or use its own web serving) and handles the data access via REST API (or WCF). I use 32 bits ASP.Net MVC application(s) since years with success using VFOLEDB itself.
If you think of REST API path, you might either use ASP.Net core (which is fast unlike the pre core) or use something else, say Go for building it. Go and Iris framework, for an example is an excellent fit to build a REST API server for your data over night (unlikely you would think Go, but if you do, remember to compile with x86 architecture).
I'm trying to create my own custom drilldown functionality, where a URL dynamics://0?myfunction_123456 will launch my own code.
In C\SysStartupCmd\construct, this base code:
case 'viewalert':
sysStartupCmd = new SysStartUpCmdViewAlert(s,parm);
break;
case 'drilldown':
sysStartupCmd = new SysStartUpCmdDrillDown(s,parm);
break;
case 'viewalertrule':
sysStartupCmd = new SysStartUpCmdViewAlertRule(s,parm);
break;
I've tested and these all get fired with these URLs:
dynamics://0/?DrillDown_382576
dynamics://0/?ViewAlert_382576
dynamics://0/?ViewAlertRule_382576
However, if I add my own case, leaving all other code the same, I can't get the URL to fire:
case 'myFunction':
sysStartupCmd = new SysStartUpCmdDrillDown(s,parm);
break;
I've dug all over the system and can't figure out what causes the dynamics:// URL to only fire for those three cases. Is there a registry entry or something? I've found C\EventDrillDownPoller which appears to create a PipeServer to maybe handle what's incoming?
Of course, I figure out my own answer every time I type up a stackoverflow question, but I think the information is really useful.
This stack question led me to find out that C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\50\Client\Bin\AxHLink.exe %1 handles Dynamics:// URLs.
Which led me to Microsoft's community forums where somebody else was facing a similar problem as me.
So the solution would be to either:
Create custom a URI handler with C# or some other language to communicate to AX (Similar to this)
Hi-jack one of the 3 handled existing cases with some custom X++ code to try and fork off of it. Perhaps by changing the drilldown target in the URL and handling that way, or appending some special characters to the string.
Call "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\50\Client\Bin\Ax32.exe" -startupcmd=myfunction_myParams and make that a clickable link.
You have answered your own question, but it is quite easy (if you know how) to hook on the standard DrillDown code to customize AX to start a specific form like:
Starts AX on item 03310511 in company XXX
start dynamics://TEST/?DrillDown_0?table=InventTable&field=itemId&value=03310511&company=XXX
It will assume reasonable defaults.
start dynamics://TEST/?DrillDown_0?table=CustTable&value=113545
And AX can be called from a HTML e-mail, assuming the receiver has an AX client!
113545
You find my customization in my pastebin.
I run the same code from two different locations in my application. I know it is the same code, because it is in a class and that class only has one publicly facing function. Both places call the function with the same arguments and both are running in the UI thread.
The function does a search for a particular printer by name using an asynchronous WMI query-->
var searcher =
new ManagementObjectSearcher(
"SELECT * from Win32_Printer WHERE Name LIKE '%ZDesigner GX430t'");
// Create an observer to trigger a callback when the search is completed.
var watcher = new ManagementOperationObserver();
watcher.Completed += PrinterSearchCompleted;
watcher.ObjectReady += PrinterSearchReady;
// Look for the printer
_printerFound = false;
_searchCompleted = false;
searcher.Get(watcher);
The problem I am having is that the ObjectReady event is not triggered when I run it from one location and when I run it from another, it get's triggered all the time.
Also, another problem is that this seems to be computer specific; some of the computers I run this on work just fine, others exhibit the problem I described above.
Any ideas what I should be looking for?
Couple of things to try:
Check if WMI service is running on all the computers.
Restart WMI service on the computers where it is not working.
You may find this article useful.
If its a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 server, WMI has a memory leak problem. Check this.
I am having a problem installing a Windows service. I installed and uninstalled the service numerous times (installutil..... installutil /u) without any problem but something went wrong and now when I attempt to install, I get the error message listed below. I checked the computer management console, and service CIMediator does not appear on the list of services. How do I remove the service?
System.ArgumentException: Source CIMediator already exists on the local computer.
Just solved the same problem, also after a numerous uninstalls/installs/restarts.
I have my own implementation of service installer (derived from [System.Configuration.Install.Installer][1]), and I have specified application EventLog as following:
public ProjectInstaller()
{
InitializeComponent();
EventLogInstaller installer = FindInstaller(this.Installers);
if (installer != null)
{
installer.Log = "MyService";
}
}
You might have the same feature implemented the following way ([MSDN: EventLog.CreateEventSource Method] [2]):
if(!EventLog.SourceExists("MySource"))
{
EventLog.CreateEventSource("MySource", "MyNewLog");
}
In my case, during some of the installs EventLog was successfuly created, but during uninstall something went wrong, and EventLog was not removed (although it was not displaying in EventViewer, it was still present in the registry).
So the error "MyService already exists on the local computer", was obviously error about EventLog, not the service itself.
You could try to do the following:
Go to your Start menu and type regedit. This will open Registry Editor. Be careful with it, it is always recommended to back up the whole registry before doing anything (File -> Export), or only the keys you are about to edit/delete.
Open Edit -> Find , type CIMediator and leave only Keys checked. Your service name should appear as key multiple times, on following locations
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\eventlog\CIMediator,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\CIMediator,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\CIMediator,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\CIMediator
Try to delete these keys. It worked for me.

Check to see if the key is still there in the registry.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CIMediator (probably, unless the key is defined differently)
If it is, export the key to a .reg file and then delete it.
I have a Windows Service that I inherited from a departed developer. The Windows Service is running just fine in the QA environment. When I install the service and run it locally, I receive this error:
Service cannot be started. System.InvalidOperationException: The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it has to be initialized as ReadOnly.
Here is the code:
ExternalDataExchangeService exchangeService = new ExternalDataExchangeService();
workflowRuntime.AddService(exchangeService);
workflowRuntime.AddService(new SqlTrackingService(AppContext.SqlConnectionImportLog));
ChallengerWorkflowService challengerWorkflowService = new ChallengerWorkflowService();
challengerWorkflowService.SendDataEvent += new EventHandler<SendDataEventArgs>(challengerWorkflowService_SendDataEvent);
workflowRuntime.AddService(challengerWorkflowService);
workflowRuntime.StartRuntime(); <---- Exception is thrown here.
Check for installer code. Often you will find counters are created within an installation (which is going to of been run under admin privledges on client site) and the code then uses them as though they exist - but will not try create them because they do not expect to have the permissions.
If you just get the source and then try run it, the counters / counter classes do not exist so you fall over immediately. (Alternatively check whether the counter exists / you have local admin if they wrote the code to create it in the service.)
Seen it before so mentioned it.
Attach Debugger and break on InvalidOperationException (first-chance, i.e. when thrown)?
