How to fix this error: "AX is shutting down due to an error. Some models have duplicate ids."?

Posted on by iridescence 115

I already did the solution as suggested here in this post: https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/190957

However, I'm still getting the error even though the specified folder in the Error log has already been deleted. Here is the Error log:

AX is shutting down due to an error.
Some models have duplicate ids. Models 'CustomModelGlobalAddressBook (C:\Packages\Directory\CustomModelGlobalAddressBook), AX 7 Test Environment (C:\Packages\ApplicationSuite\AX 7 Test Environment)' share id 855991.

Exception details:

One more question though, what is the best way to delete a user created model? It seems like deleting the model in the package folder and in the descriptor seems to be incomplete. Is there no official steps on how to do this?

    Hi Harvey,

    Did you do a full build of all models after removing the model with the duplicate element?

    Hi Andre,

    I did build my solution before I actually access the AX, no errors popped up or anything. And then when I access the AX, the error stated above appears.

    Anyway, at this moment I have also deleted the my solution since I'm just testing it for my learning.

    When there is a compilation issue and the build is not correct, you can indeed have this startup issue.

    Is AX running correctly now without your solution? If so, you can try put the solution back and prevent having the duplicate object.

    Hi Andre,

    Yes, the AX is working now. I just did another build.

    But, is there really no standard way of deleting models that I've created? I guess I won't be deleting my newly created models, too much hassle.

    Hi Harvey,

    Deleting the models is indeed by using the file explorer. Note that if you don't delete them, it will be considered during builds.

    Hi Andre,

    Is it possible element provided by Microsoft lets say CustTable exist in two models? like applicationsuite and some another.

    If yes then which element should I delete? I am getting similar errors during build.

    And one last thing if I delete all models then will it regenerate models again on full build? ( I think it will not generate ) Lets take application suit I delete then it will give me compilation errors while building or if I replace all models with which I am not getting any errors and then build my environment having errors will it work (I mean successful build)?

    I am not still clear with AX 7 functionalities. It will be helpful if you can answer.

    Thanks!

    Regards,

    Smit Patel

    Hi Smit,

    I do think this question is the same as within another thread you created. An object can be only in one model. As mentioned in the other thread it would be easier to deploy a new fresh VM to get rid of your problems.
