Posted on by Farman Ameer

I am using Microsoft Dynamics Finance and Operations version 10.0.37 Update 61. When I run Build pipeline it works fine for my other modules but gives error in module that has reference of 'Business Intelligence'. Reference exist in Descriptior file and it has checked in and I have verified it from Repo as well. I had deleted descriptor file and checked in again but still same error. Do I need to add any nuget package for this model in packages.json file ?
Here is the error

##[error]D://a//8//NuGets//Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.CompilerPackage//DevAlm//Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Tools.BuildTasks.targets(85,5): Error MSB6006: /Xppc.exe/ exited with code 2.

Hi Farman,

It seems your model doesn't have a reference for the model where the custTransBIEntity exists. Can you please take a screenshot and show us if you are referencing it or not?

Thanks,

I'm assuming "abc" is your model right? (the model where you created an extension for the entity abc_CustTransBIEntity_Extension)

Can you please try and build your abc model with business intelligence model?

Thanks,

Layan Jweihan

When I build my abc model in Visual studio with reference 'Business Intelligence' it complies successfully with no error.

You need to update your Build nuget packages to match your D365 Version, by downloading the correct nuget packages from LCS, updating your DevOps artifacts, and setting those version numbers above in Packages.config

The documentation shows the platform versions of 10.0.37 and 10.0.36 here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/get-started/whats-new-home-page

So looking at those version numbers, your dev environments may well be on 10.0.37 & PU61, but you are building a 10.0.36 & PU60 deployable package in your Azure hosted pipeline.

Thanks Anthony Blake. I was using nuget packages from 10.0.36 version of Finance and Operations. After upgrading nuget files to 10.0.37 version my issue resolved.
