Problem with DLL-reference after upgrading R3 kernel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TUEB 25

Hello,

My understanding was that AX kernel updates were revision specific not code/CU so any AX2012 R3 kernel should be compatible with any CU code wise and advisable that kernel should be the latest?

We are currently running AX2012 R3 CU9 6.3.2000.326

We have attempted to update the kernel to the latest R3 kernel build based on KB links from https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/axsupport/2012/03/29/overview-of-microsoft-dynamics-ax-build-numbers/ to several versions but are encountering run-time errors with any kernel other than 6.3.2000.326

Attempted the following kernel versions on several different fresh AOS installs:

KB4089212 – kernel 6.3.6000.4444

KB4343775 – kernel 6.3.6000.6608

KB4457935 – kernel 6.3.6000.7046

All of them have installed successfully with no errors in the setup logs, full compile and CIL runs without errors.

When attempting to add a product to a sales line we encounter the following runtime error:

Error executing code: RetailPricingDataManager object does not have method 'getDiscountTradeAgreementsByDiscGroups'.

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.ErrorException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.ErrorException' was thrown.

We can’t find any reference in AX to this method so assuming one of the other DLL’s is referencing it.

We have tried re registering the following DLL’s in the bin directory in the GAC based on https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/152585

Microsoft.Dynamics.Commerce.Runtime.dll

Microsoft.Dynamics.Commerce.Runtime.Services.PricingEngine.dll

Overwriting the PricingEngine.dll with the original 6.3.2000.326 version fixes the runtime error and full compile and CIL still works with all the other components updated but unsure as to the wider implications of a mismatch of DLL versions? It does seem to crash the AOS when adding a product in this state on one environment but not on another so not sure that is the cause of that instability.

Should we not attempt any kernel updates and stick with the CU9 6.3.2000.326 kernel until we are at a point to do a code upgrade to CU13?

Anyone had any similar issues?

    RE: Problem with DLL-reference after upgrading R3 kernel

    First of all, you can't use any kernel with any CU. The kernel is backwards compatible so you should be able to use a newer kernel version on a lower application version.

    But if you follow the link to the latest kernel version, you will notice that the hotfix in question actually includes an application hotfix as well. So maybe some new x++ methods are needed for this kernel version. I think this is not in line with the backwards compatibility story, but anyway this seems to be the case.
