Field 'Entity' must be filled in.

Hi,

In the DIXF, when creating a processing group and entities in the 'Select entities for processing group' (DMFDefinitionGroupEntity) form I am running into an error when attempting to create new entity records.

I assign an entity and source data format. However when I click any button or click off of the record i get a warning that states: "Field 'Entity' must be filled in" despite the 'Entity' field being populated. This prevents me from continuing the DIXF setup, the only way I can exit the form is to hit ESC and choose not to save my changes.

When debugging, the value is assigned to the DMFDefinitionGroupEntity table so I am not sure what the issue is.

Our environment has no customizations in it.

RE: AX 2012 R3 CU9: Field 'Entity' must be filled in.

Hi Jhenslee,

It is i sthe new fied has introduced in Cu9, So you have to run the data upgrade check list before using DMF.

Workaround - \Classes\ReleaseUpdateDB63_DMF\updateEntityType please run on Job.

As below..

static void Job13(Args _args)

{

    ReleaseUpdateDB63_DMF releaseUpdateDB63_DMF = new ReleaseUpdateDB63_DMF();

   releaseUpdateDB63_DMF.updateEntityType();



}

Thanks

Bhaskar

Thanks Bhaskar. The AX 2012 R3 CU9 demo VM has this problem, which is solved by your job.

Hi all,

Does this mean inserting the script at the bottom of the existing script on the target?

Sincerely,

ABTS

Hi ABTS,

No, I think it means to create a new Job in the AOT, containing the five lines of code from Bhaskar's comment, and running it.

I pasted the listed code in the path provided and its giving me a syntax error. Is this correct? Is that what we are supposed to do to get this error remoted. I didn't understand the comment of creating a new job in AOT. Could you detail out your steps please.

static void Job13(Args _args)

{

ReleaseUpdateDB63_DMF releaseUpdateDB63_DMF = new ReleaseUpdateDB63_DMF();

releaseUpdateDB63_DMF.updateEntityType();

}

Hi aymirza,

Your code works fine for me. Can you provide full details of the syntax error; a passing developer may be able to help you.

To create a new Job, open the AOT (Ctrl + D). Right-click on the 'Jobs' node, and choose 'New job'. An Editor will open, with a couple of lines of code in it. Delete all that and paste in the five lines from your message.

To check it's OK, press the Compile button (or press F7). To run the job, click the green 'Go' arrow (or press F5).
