Error while trying to Compile into .net Framework CIL-"CIL,Object reference not found"

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi Everyone !

I have installed a Hotfix, and now following the steps as mentioned in the Software Update Checklist. The steps below have been completed:

1. Compile application

2. Detect code upgrade conflicts

Now, when I try to Compile into .Net Framework CIL, I get the error as-"CIL generation: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.", Path-\XppIL


According to various sources online I tried the following :

1. Stop AOS 

2.  Delete the contents of the bin\XppIL [C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsAX\bin\XppIL] folder on the AOS server (with backup in place) [not the folders, just the files which are outside the folders 

3. Restart AOS

4. Generate Full CIL

However, it still did not solve my problem and it threw the same above error.

Also, is this the right step after I install a Hotfix? Please correct me if wrong.

Thank you..

    If any conflicts were detected at step 2, resolve the them (which must be done individually for each customized layer). Then compile the application again and make sure that there are no error. Only then you can generate CIL, because it depends on information from the X++ compiler.

    Thanks Martin.

    I went through the second step again, and found a project "AXUpgradeRecIDconflicts" created in the private node of the Projects. I also found a message window with few EDTs and Tables mentioned. So are these conflicts as well?

    P.S: The list of Tables that i get in the AXUpgradeRecIDconflicts project are all customised objects

    What I tried to do now, is take a backup of those objects, delete and go through the 2nd step again to check again for any more conflicts. Later when the hotfix is successfully applied, I would Import the customised objects(tables) and using the compare functionality would merge the code. But after deleting the objects and after the second step, I found the same objects again. I am doing it right?

    How do I further go about it?

    RecId conflicts won't stop the compilation; I meant code conflicts. If there are no code conflicts and this was your only layer, just make sure that the application compiles without any error. X++ error are the usual reason why CIL can't generate, that's why it's important to verify it.
