Document handling and Azure Storage on local development box

AX7 uses blob storage for document handling and sometimes you may notice it errors due to Azure storage.

This is an example of the error you would get.

Error: Upload of “MyFile” failed. An error occurred writing to Azure storage.

On your development box search for the “Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator”

It should open up a command line window and start the emulator.

In your tray it will show up the Emulator Icon.

The emulator is part of the Azure SDK. It has a configuration file with the ports it uses.
