Dear All,

I need to debug in D365. I followed the below link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/dev-tools/debug-xpp

I kept breakpoint & had set a form as startup object & clicked Start Debugging from Debug menu. But it throws me an pop as below. I am running VS as administrator only.

I also tried to follow the way provided in the below link:

https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/daxseed/archive/2016/11/25/debugging-in-ax-7-using-vs2015-when-symbols-are-not-loaded

But When go into Attach process from Debug menu, I don't find W3WP.exe there.

Please help me to sort out this problem!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

Jaya Rajan,

If you want to debug your code, either you need to write a runable class in your solution that will be set as startup project, class will have a main method. In that case you can simply click on start button on Visual Studio.

Or you need to create a menu item of your form, and set it as startup object. And in this case you will go to Debug -> Attach to Process. Check the option saying "Show processes from all users" and attach your code with w3wp.exe.

And after checking option "Show processes from all users", if you still are not able to locate w3wp.exe, make sure you already have opened Ax in IE.

Jaya Rajan,

Did you check this?

And after checking option "Show processes from all users", if you still are not able to locate w3wp.exe, make sure you already have opened IE (Internet Explorer) running on your machine.

Hi,

Are you on platform 12?

You will find you cannot debug as you used to, you'll need to attach to IIS Express I believe. This is because of changes where you cannot access local administrator on a lot of the machines. When you start up DevTools normal iis is stopped and IIS Express starts.

It depends on the Plateform updates also you are working on. Before PU 12 W3WP.exe was the process to attach for debugging but in the current version it is IISExpress.exe.

Please verify the version of your application as well.

Thanks!

Probably your service is stopped. To restart it, you can simply open a table browser which will initiate the service restart. You can select any table and browse it.
