Unable to return DimensionAttributeValue record for Dimension with value 20 as no record exists in table through view

ReportReport
Posted on by AK Shukla 35

I am trying to to find create a dimension as given in below blog for General journal Offset dimension.

https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/microsoft-dynamics-ax-forum/67891/create-a-new-record-in-dimensionattributevaluecombination-by-ax2012-code/191381

But for some records I am getting error as "Unable to return DimensionAttributeValue record for Dimension with value 20 as no record exists in table through view ."

Below is the code I am using to create it, has anyone ever faced this issue.

LedgerAccountContract ledgerAccountContract = new LedgerAccountContract();
DimensionAttributeValueContract ValueContract;
List ListValueContract = new List(Types::Class);
dimensionAttributeValueCombination dimensionAttributeValueCombination;
DimensionStorage dimStorage;
DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage ;
DimensionAttribute dimensionAttribute;
DimensionValue dimensionValue;

;

dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(_defaultDimension);
dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findbyname('BusinessUnit');
dimensionValue = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.getDisplayValueByDimensionAttribute(dimensionAttribute.recId);

if (dimensionValue)
{
ValueContract = new DimensionAttributeValueContract();
ValueContract.parmName('BusinessUnit') ;
ValueContract.parmValue(dimensionValue);
ListValueContract.addEnd(ValueContract);
}

dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(_dimensionAttributeValueCombination.RecId);
dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findbyname('CostCenter');
dimensionValue = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.getDisplayValueByDimensionAttribute(dimensionAttribute.recId);

if (dimensionValue)
{
ValueContract = new DimensionAttributeValueContract();
ValueContract.parmName('CostCentre') ;
ValueContract.parmValue(dimensionValue);
ListValueContract.addEnd(ValueContract);
}

dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(_dimensionAttributeValueCombination.RecId);
dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findbyname('Department');
dimensionValue = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.getDisplayValueByDimensionAttribute(dimensionAttribute.recId);


if (dimensionValue)
{
ValueContract = new DimensionAttributeValueContract();
ValueContract.parmName('Department') ;
ValueContract.parmValue(dimensionValue);
ListValueContract.addEnd(ValueContract);
}


ledgerAccountContract.parmMainAccount(MainAccount::find(_dimensionAttributeValueCombination.MainAccount).MainAccountId);
ledgerAccountContract.parmValues(ListValueContract);
dimStorage = DimensionServiceProvider::buildDimensionStorageForLedgerAccount(ledgerAccountContract);
dimensionAttributeValueCombination = DimensionAttributeValueCombination::find(dimStorage.save());
return dimensionAttributeValueCombination.RecId;
}

I have the same question (0)

    Which version are you talking about? You've attached tags for both AX 2012 and D365FO.

    Also, please always use Insert > Insert Code (in the rich-formatting view) to paste source code. It preserves indentation, shows line numbers and so on. Like this:

    LedgerAccountContract ledgerAccountContract = new LedgerAccountContract();
DimensionAttributeValueContract valueContract;
List listValueContract = new List(Types::Class);
dimensionAttributeValueCombination dimensionAttributeValueCombination;
DimensionStorage dimStorage;
DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage;
DimensionAttribute dimensionAttribute;
DimensionValue dimensionValue;
;

dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(_defaultDimension);
dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findbyname('BusinessUnit');
dimensionValue = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.getDisplayValueByDimensionAttribute(dimensionAttribute.recId);

if (dimensionValue)
{
	valueContract = new DimensionAttributeValueContract();
	valueContract.parmName('BusinessUnit') ;
	valueContract.parmValue(dimensionValue);
	listValueContract.addEnd(valueContract);
}

dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(_dimensionAttributeValueCombination.RecId);
dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findbyname('CostCenter');
dimensionValue = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.getDisplayValueByDimensionAttribute(dimensionAttribute.recId);

if (dimensionValue)
{
	valueContract = new DimensionAttributeValueContract();
	valueContract.parmName('CostCentre') ;
	valueContract.parmValue(dimensionValue);
	listValueContract.addEnd(valueContract);
}

dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(_dimensionAttributeValueCombination.RecId);
dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findbyname('Department');
dimensionValue = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.getDisplayValueByDimensionAttribute(dimensionAttribute.recId);


if (dimensionValue)
{
	valueContract = new DimensionAttributeValueContract();
	valueContract.parmName('Department') ;
	valueContract.parmValue(dimensionValue);
	listValueContract.addEnd(valueContract);
}

ledgerAccountContract.parmMainAccount(MainAccount::find(_dimensionAttributeValueCombination.MainAccount).MainAccountId);
ledgerAccountContract.parmValues(listValueContract);
dimStorage = DimensionServiceProvider::buildDimensionStorageForLedgerAccount(ledgerAccountContract);
dimensionAttributeValueCombination = DimensionAttributeValueCombination::find(dimStorage.save());

return dimensionAttributeValueCombination.RecId;

    Which line of code is throwing the error?

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for reply.

    It is in D365 F&O. I am not able to reproduce the issue in my dev environment but test environment is having the issue. I cannot debug it there.

    Moved to Dynamics 365 Forum; version tags removed.

    Are you saying that you're using hard-coded dimension names in a real code? Do you really think it's a good idea? And do you have such dimension attributes in your test environment at all?

    Why can't you debug?

  • Martin Dráb Profile Picture

    According to cross-references, the error is thrown from DimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue().

    I could debug and found that the error is thrown at

    Line number 50: dimStorage = DimensionServiceProvider::buildDimensionStorageForLedgerAccount(ledgerAccountContract);

    I need to use combination of Business unit from Sales order and Cost Center from Journal names to create a offset dimension.

    Step into buildDimensionStorageForLedgerAccount() in debugger to see what's going on there.

    Also, did you verify that the environment contains dimension attributes for your hard-coded names?
