AX 2012 Initialisation Checklist reset, where is checklist information stored

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 120

Hi All,

Here's an outline of my problem:

Installed AX 2012 feature pack, logged in and completed Initialisation checklist successfully and initialised system.  log out of AX and back in and initialisation checklist has reset and still states that it requires a compile, CIL compile and database sync.  I run through all these processes again, log out of AX and back in and now the checklist shows all nice green ticks.  I get this issue on every installation I do.

I then install CU3, log into to AX get prompted as usual for a compile and sync, these complete successfully, I log out of AX and back in and the checklist has reset again.  I have to run through the whole process again to have the checklist show all green ticks.

the above example is on SQL 2012 but the same happens on SQL 2008 R2 with the CU3 update slipstreamed into the install files my actual "big" problem comes after I install the Data Migration Framework.  I import the model file, get prompted for a compile and sync, these complete, I then do a full CIL compile, log out of AX and back in and guess what - yep, the checklist has reset again.  Now it doesn't matter how many times I compile, CIL compile or sync (successfully)the checklist remains saying that these items still need to be completed.

My question is - is there somewhere in the AOT, the database or anywhere else where I can manually change the checklist items that I have run successfully to show as complete rather than have them showing as being needed?

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

    I'm having a similar issue with the Software Update checklist in R2.  

    There is a Find method in the "SysChecklist_*" class that you are running.  In my case, it is looking at the SysSetupLog table.  As each step completes, a record is written in the table.  I'm trying to find why the records disappear for the checklist.

    I am also having this issue with R2.

    As I went through the Software Update checklist (again), I verified that records were being written to SysSetupLog.  When I was all done, I exited the checklist and restarted the AOS.  After the AOS restart, the records are gone.

    I'm in the pickle because when I install a hotfix and it doesn't work as advertised, Support tells me I need to "finish the checklist", which I do.  However, the checklist never stays finished.  I'm working with them to determine if this is a bug.

    Had the problem with the always upcoming "Model store has been modified" message as well.

    The problem was related to the flag "MinorUpgrade" in table "ReleaseUpdateConfiguration" (which was set to true). That one is returned by SysCheckList_Update::isUpgrade() which is called by Info.startup().

    Of course you should be very careful when unchecking system fields and sure about what you're doing. I did not do much more investigation on possible side effects because it affected my development environment only.
