Hello everyone,
I have a working code in AX but when invoked through a service from outside it throws an exception.
I am using DocuActionArchive class in my code for file attachment.
I have following lines of code that refer to this class.
DocuActionArchive archive;
archive = new DocuActionArchive();
archive.add(docuRef, filePath);

The service throw following exception:
System.ServiceModel.FaultException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.InvalidRemoteCallException' was thrown.

It errors out on line: archive.add(docuRef, filePath);

Looks like it cannot call the add method in the DocuActionArchive class. I changed the property of this class from Run on Client to Run on Server but still get this error.

Thanks Martin for your advice.

I implemented the Server version of this class and it worked!

RE: Service error

There is a reason why this class has Run on = Client - it uses resources that works only on client. In particular, I believe that add() uses WinAPI, which itself is bound to client. If you really want to use DocuActionArchive, you'll have to change the implementation. A better approach may be creating a separate class for your purposes.

Note that I don't have any AX 2012 environment on hand, therefore I can't look at the code. Sorry if I don't remember it correctly.
