We recently came across an issue on Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 RTM CU-2. When we try to run the report "Accounts receivable\reports\external\customer account statement", AX ends up hanging. This happens in every environment if I just choose a customer account and leave all else as default.
The reason we found was:
In \Classes\SrsReportRunRdpPreProcessService, executeWithContract method, there are some code shown below, there is a UserConnection ttsBegin and UserConnection ttsCommit pair embedded in global ttsBegin and ttsCommit pair, this makes the database write operation to hang.
// switch company to that user. changecompany(companyId) { // check if any pre-processing id already exists, if yes, then call cleanup, this will take care of cleaning up left over data. if(_preProcessedRecId) { this.cleanUp(_preProcessedRecId, reportContract.parmRdpName()); } // starting a default transaction, since some RDP classes do delete as part of their code and they dont have a explicit ttsbegin/ttscommit. // they were relying on the old behvior of SrsReportRunRdpPreProcessService class starting a default ttsbegin/commit. ttsBegin; // We start transaction before calling processReport. By doing so, all data // inserted by RDP into table will have the same transactionId. // Always use a UserConnection. The service is currently running on RPC call and hence if outer transaction exists we dont want it to be used. userConnection = new UserConnection(true); userConnection.ttsbegin(); // set user connection on RDP class. rdpInstance.parmUserConnection(userConnection); // call processReport rdpInstance.processReport(); // now create a entry in table with report name etc. // transactionId will be same as the one used in processReport(). preProcessedTable = SrsReportPreProcessedDetails::create(reportContract.parmRdpName(), userConnection, _isPreviewData); // commit the transaction. userConnection.ttscommit(); ttsCommit; }
To workaround, the suggestion is to comment out those inner transactions, so that code looks as given in the highlighted sections below:
// switch company to that user. changecompany(companyId) { // check if any pre-processing id already exists, if yes, then call cleanup, this will take care of cleaning up left over data. if(_preProcessedRecId) { this.cleanUp(_preProcessedRecId, reportContract.parmRdpName()); } // starting a default transaction, since some RDP classes do delete as part of their code and they dont have a explicit ttsbegin/ttscommit. // they were relying on the old behvior of SrsReportRunRdpPreProcessService class starting a default ttsbegin/commit. ttsBegin; // We start transaction before calling processReport. By doing so, all data // inserted by RDP into table will have the same transactionId. // Always use a UserConnection. The service is currently running on RPC call and hence if outer transaction exists // we dont want it to be used. userConnection = new UserConnection(true); //userConnection.ttsbegin(); // set user connection on RDP class. rdpInstance.parmUserConnection(userConnection); // call processReport rdpInstance.processReport(); // now create a entry in table with report name etc. // transactionId will be same as the one used in processReport(). preProcessedTable = SrsReportPreProcessedDetails::create(reportContract.parmRdpName(), userConnection, _isPreviewData); // commit the transaction. //userConnection.ttscommit(); ttsCommit; }
