XPO Import gone bad.

Posted on by Thor Novang

I'm stuck on an issue where I tried to update a staging environment with a xpo-project-file.

The import ended in an app crash. I restarted the service and tried again, but didn't succeed with the import. From what I've found out, seems to be related to a new field to and existing table in the sys-layer. I was importing the xpo to the CUS-layer.

The problem now. AX crashes all the time. Cannot fully compile. Also when I open the AOT and try to highlight the Table (HRMAbsenceCode), the app also crashes. Also when I open some windows.

Though I can take and sync everything. I tried to drop the table in SQL, but it did not help. I can't see the new field in SQL, only in the application. (After example exporting all objects in the cus-model where the new tablefields is.

I believe I could solve this by deleting the model where the new field to the standard AX table lies. Though I would then first have to move all the elements in the same model to a new model, to not lose data.

Any other suggestions..

Hi Thor,

Why don't you restore the application using a backup or another environment?

The thing is I forgot to take a backup of the environment before the import. (will never happen again..)

I will have to restore everything if I don't find a solutions to the problem, that is plan B.

I wonder if there is a way to move all elements except one element from one model to another in an easy way!

You can also try to compile the application with AxBuild.

Hi Thor,

Only some clues:

- are you able to export the model using axutil or is a error message launched during export?

- does the aos stop during export?

If you're able to export the model, you can try the following.

- import this modelfile in a other base installation and see if the app crashes too. Maybe you can remove the element here and export the model again.

- or even delete the model in this installation (don't forget the backups) after exporting and see if this installation can be used afterwards. Sync compile ......

Maybe you can reimport the exported model (original or modified). and see what happens.

regards

Douglas

Thanks for the suggestion, I managed to do the AxBuild without errors. But still having the same problem. Can't do a real Cil compilation though. The funny thing is when I do a full compile to CIL, it seems to just stop. And gives no results.. But when I do the incremental compilation, the aos stops.

Yes I am able to export the model file. I don't have another base environment to export it into, only my dev environment, but thanks anyway..

I was able to find a backup of the modelstore, not taken too long back in time, so thanks to that it's working fine once more.
