DB Synch fails during data upgrade from AX2012 at step 3

Posted on by CarloT

Hello,

I'm attempting to run the data upgrade on a VM machine 10.0.32 version.

I copied the SQL database from AX2012R3 with customizations.

I keep getting this error when I run the upgrade script or when I run the db syncronization from Visual Studio

Log level - Error | AOS database sync failed. Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.Database.TableSyncException: Full sync did not complete successfully. Error: ArgumentNullException:Value cannot be null.

I've tried everything I can think of. 

is there a way to debug the db synch process to see where the actual failure is happening?

    Hi Anton,

    I finally found the cause. 

    It was bad xml from the upgrade tool.

    There were a few views that had no fields from AX.

    I removed those files and the synch completed successfully. 

    The error was not helpful enough.

    I used this XPath expression to parse all our files and to find the bad ones after I understood what to look for.

    //AxView/Fields[not(AxViewField)]

    Thank you for your help.

    RE: DB Synch fails during data upgrade from AX2012 at step 3

    What is the status of the database upgrade? What do you get if you execute this query? It's from this article: Monitoring the data upgrade.

    SELECT StartTime, EndTime, Steps, SubSteps, Status
FROM [DBUPGRADE].[DATAUPGRADESTATUS]
ORDER BY EndTime DESC

    Have you checked the runbook logs? Located in a sub-folder under the deployable package.

    There is also some log information about pre and post sync available here:

    select * from RELEASEUPDATESCRIPTSERRORLOG

    I don't think the SYSGLOBALCONFIGURATION error is the problem.

    I think one of the customized views or query has invalid data but the error is very unhelpful.

    Any other suggestions where to look for error logs?

    Thank you.

    Hi Carlo,

    Since dbo.SYSGLOBALCONFIGURATION is a system table, perhaps Microsoft support can assist you with this?

    And this error

    Initialization of Session performance counters failed. exception: The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it has to be initialized as ReadOnly.

    I found this also in the event viewer:

    Hello Anton, thank you for your reply.

    I checked the event viewer and it seems to give the same kind of info:

    Message">[DbSync: 7.0.30584.0] [Platform: 7.0.6801.37] [SourcePlatform: 7.0.6801.37]: Full sync did not complete successfully. Error: ArgumentNullException:Value cannot be null.

    I'm thinking there is a problem with a View maybe?

    Hi Carlo,

    Can you find a log file of the database sync? Perhaps in C:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin\. Or have you looked in the Windows event viewer if there are any errors from SQL Server?
