Forum Post: ax2012R2 - IIS on different host from AOS – target principal name is incorrect

Eric Ledoux — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:50:00 GMT

Hi,

I have this situation :

Domain : OurDomain

AOS : AOSHost

IIS : IISHost

The AOS is running on AOSHost under the account "OurDomain\AOSAccount"

The Business connector account under which the MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif60 application pool is running is "OurDomain\BusConnAccount"

I installed the "Web Services on IIS" and the ".NET Business Connector" components on IISHost. Actually I tried two scenarios, with the same result: only the "Web Services on IIS" component, or both the "Web Services on IIS" and the ".NET Business Connector" components. During install I gave the "OurDomain\BusConnAccount" when the wizard asked, and also gave the "OurDomain\AOSAccount" name (but no password for this one, the wizard doesn’t ask). This host represents a IIS machine in a DMZ, although I have no firewalls yet. I’m taking it one step at a time.

By enabling anonymous authentication on my test inbound port and in my IIS web site, my test C# program is able to retrieve the service references from the IIS Host. But then, when my test program tries to actually hit the web service, AX throws a "A call to SSPI failed, see Inner Exception" error. Further digging shows that the inner exception is "Target principal name is incorrect".

In the IISHost Event viewer I see "The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server. The target name used was host/aoshost. This indicates…".

So I tried setspn.exe commands

setspn –s http/iishost ourdomain\aosaccount

setspn –s http/iishost.ourdomain ourdomain\aosaccount

setspn –s host/aoshost ourdomain\aosaccount

setspn –s host/aoshost.ourdomain ourdomain\aosaccount

For a while this fixed the problem. I mean I could hit the web services hosted on IISHost, and it was the information from the AOS on AOSHost. Everything was good until my AOS service wouldn’t start anymore. I got a 1069 error, "The service did not start due to a logon failure". I tried to reboot the AOSHost, and after reboot couldn’t logon to it with any domain account anymore. "The Security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship." Removed the above setspn commands, and could logon the AOSHost just fine afterwards.

Now I’m back to the "Target principal name is incorrect" error.

What I’m trying to do is simple : get the IIS running on a remote host. Can anyone help me please?

Forum Post: Revaluation for Moving Average

claganson — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:51:00 GMT

If you make an entry in revaluation for moving average and then post it can you see that adjustment to your average cost anywhere other than the posting to the general ledger accounts? Is there a place I can go look at an item and tell a cost adjustment was done against it?

Eric Enlow — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:32:00 GMT

Thanks for the response. This issue is with a Canned report the Ledger transaction Report and is only happening on the Client machine. If the user RDPs to our terminal server the report runs fine. So it seems to be specific to the client install. I think my next step my just be reinstalling the AX client on the effected machine.

Forum Post: RE: AX 2012 R2 Data Upgrade Issue(s)

Kevin Kidder - Microsoft — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:17:00 GMT

Typically the cause of this type of error is because you had invalid data for the table in the SQLDICTIONARY table prior to doing the upgrade. The steps to try and correct this would rely on trying to synchronize the table back before the upgrade process, and if it appears to synch with no issues on a test copy of the database and AOS I would try and add a new column and change an index on the table to see if the AOS is able to process that synchronization without error.

The X212X table comes from the internal Table ID for LedgerJournalTrans (212) and when we modify a unique index we typically push the data to another temp table (X212X) and then recreate the original table and feed the data back in.

Forum Post: Entry point AccessLevel are shared?

KBanh — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:47:00 GMT

Morning...

I'm having to modify item access to setup items and have a question about entry points.

So say I find a privilege which controls access to a particular action menu item. In the AOT, I click on the privilege and then the entry points node. I find the particular entry point I'd like to change. I've researched that entry point and it's shared across 3 other roles but the privilege is only assigned to the role I'm interested in impacting (hope that makes sense). What happens if I change the AccessLevel of the entry point from Delete to NoAccess? Are all 3 roles which utilize the same entry point impacted?

Boy I hope that made some sense.

AX-SP — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:12:00 GMT

Hi,

this method generates a report. How to send it to EP that the user could save it as a pdf file?

public static void rep2PDF()
{
    EPSendDocument sendDocument;
    CustInvoiceJour custInvoiceJour;
    Filename filename;
    ;
    select firstonly custInvoiceJour;
    filename = WinAPI::getTempPath() +'MyInvoice.pdf';
    sendDocument = new EPSendDocument(custInvoiceJour);
    sendDocument.parmOriginal(true);
    sendDocument.parmFileName(filename);
// Make document will run the report and send it to a PDF file with the path specified in filename
    sendDocument.makeDocument();
}

You should look into the active License Configurations. I believe Project3 activates the PSA version.

Hi,

Yes followed that several times, which is actually a snippet from the official install guide (all 100+ pages!)

After some more digging around it appeared that the initial full crawls hadn't actually completed in SharePoint - I think this is a requirement?

The crawls are running now again and after lots of stopping and starting and I've managed to get some default results such as 'Sales' and 'Contoso' but no company data as of yet - but I'm relying on the full crawls completing without error first!

Will keep you posted and thanks for the response :)

Blog Post: Managing recruitment and Posting Open jobs in Enterprise portal in Dynamics AX 2012

Sandeep Chaudhury — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:09:00 GMT

Hello Everyone,

Managing recruitment processes, job applications and applicants is a key aspect of human resources management in any organization. The HRM module of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 provides a very efficient and effective way of managing open jobs in an organization and applications and applicants who are applying for the open jobs.

In today’s post I will highlight,

How to create open jobs and publish the Job ads to the enterprise portal.
How candidates/applicants( Both External and Internal) can view and apply for Open jobs.
How applicants/candidates can submit their resume to the organization for considerations to any open jobs.
How recruiters can view and manage all the incoming job applications at one central location and process them further.

Create Jobs and Publish them on Organization portal:

Go to HRM > Common > Organizations > Jobs.
Create a new job. In this case let us say it is for a DAX Technical Consultant.

3. Create the required positions under the HRM > Organizations > Positions.

4. The next step is to create the recruitment project and create the job ads for that.

5. Go to HRM > Recruitment > Recruitment Projects and create a new recruitment project.

6. Create the Job ad for this recruitment project and enable this to be published on the enterprise portal.

With this, we are done creating the open jobs and publishing them to the portal.

Candidates viewing and applying for jobs on the portal:

AX allows both internal employees/existing employees and external applicants to apply for open job. The site services feature can be used to integrate the external job portals and company websites to AX. External candidates can apply directly from portals and company websites with this integration. (Note: These tasks will need some technical works and some development as well and it is not fully functional out of the box.

When candidates log on to the portal of AX 2012, they get to see a direct link to all the open jobs in the organization.

2. Notice that the job we just created is now appearing on the portal. Candidates can select the job and click Apply to apply for the job.

3. Copy paste your resume and click Apply. Note: You can customize this to have a direct link for resume attachment/uploading.

Note that, candidates can also apply and submit their resumes without any open job also. All of these applications will be gathered against a Unsolicited recruitment project.

Recruiters viewing and processing received applications:

The Application Basket in AX is the central location for all the received applications both from enterprise portal and external sites(job portals , company websites if integrated). The recruiters finds all the key information about the applications such as candidate contact information , resume attachments, address etc.

Go to HRM > Periodic > Recruitment > Application Basket.

2. Notice that Sandeep Chaudhury, who applied for the DAX Technical consultant job is appearing in this form now. The system also shows various other information about the applicant on this form required for the recruiters.

3. Click Attachments button to view their resumes.

4. If everything looks okay about the candidate and the resume looks goof to be processed further, then select it for Approval and Click Approve button. You will notice that the application record will disappear from the application basket as it has been processed further now.

5. Now, when the recruiter goes to the recruitment project again, they get to see all the received applications against the recruitment project and can process it further from there.

Refer to my earlier post on employee life cycle management in AX 2012 to know further about this.

The focus of this post was to highlight the job posting capabilities within AX and to show how it eases the job of recruiters on a day to day basis. Please reach out to me in case of any questions on this.

Till next time!!

Sandeep

Hello Mark,

The problem is your IIS. You have to go to SharePoint site > Autentication > Windows autentication > Advance config (sorry, I don't know if this is the correct name becouse I have it in Spanish), and then you have to enable the check.

I hope this information can be useful for you

Forum Post: RE: How to control printer orientation(Landscape / Portrait) for an AX report in X++

Zahir Hussan — Wed, 22 May 2013 13:48:00 GMT

Hi Palle,

Mine issue is different. Check below.

We have modified some SSRS reports to print A4 Landscape. The reports are 'Ledger Transactions List' and 'Trial Balance' (both found in General Ledger -> Reports -> Transactions).

I have attached a screenshot (TB.jpg) of the modifications made to the Trial Balance Report (LedgerTrialBalance). This report has four designs - all four designs have been modified.

As you can see, we have set the Page Setup on the Report Properties to 'A4' Paper, Orientation 'Landscape'.

When I print the report from within the AX client (see attached TB_settings.jpg), the report appears to be formatted for Landscape but actually prints out in Portrait.

If I print it to an XPS printer (Microsoft XPS Document Writer - orientation Landscape, paper A4) I get the same result - it prints out in Portrait.

I have attached the XPS file that is produced (TB_xps.xps)- to best view the problem, zoom out so you can see the whole page. What is produced in the XPS file matches exactly what happens when I print it to a physical printer.

How can I get these reports to actually print in Landscape?

Any suggestions for this issue will be appreciated.

Regards,

Zahir
