Compare error when importing any table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mihkel 12

Hi!

Scenario is this:

I create a new table in AOT and add 1 string field.

Then export the table to xpo file.

And after that import the same xpo I just exported.

Now when i hit Compare button on import form I get two errors:

Table , field group AutoSummary: method modelGroupId does not exist

Table , field group AutoSummary: method itemGroupId does not exist

And this is the case with all tables. I get the same two errors.

I have already tried compiling the application, did not help.

What could be the reason for this?

Is it some inconsistency in model database?

How to fix it?

Thanks for any clue!

    Hi Mihkel,

    Did you copy the AX business data from another environment before? There can be an issue due to environment specific table IDs which could also cause this type of errors. Were you able to sync the database without issues?

    No, we did not copy data from another application and we can synchronize the application without errors.

    Can you tell more about the table contents? Especially if the current AOT object contains these fields within the field group and if the method do exist or not? Did you copy an existing table to create your custom one?

    There are no custom field groups, no methods, no relations, only one field.

    Even if i create a new table and create no fields on anything. And then export it and import the same xpo i just created then i get the same error.

    And the situation is the same when i export other tables. 

    InventTable has the methods that are mentioned in the error message but i do not try to export-import-compare InventTable but a new table.

    Can you reproduce the same issue in other environments? Or is it happening on just this single environment?

    The problem occurs only in one environment - the production environment. In our development environment everything is fine.

    Hi Mihkel,

    If this is happening in Production... why are you creating tables in the production environment directly and why are you working with xpo files instead of model store/model files?

    Have you also tried to restore the production databases (business and model) in a test environment to see if you can then still reproduce it?

    Wea actually do not create tables directly in production.

    We already made a full copy of the production environment and tested there

    and the same problem exists in the copy environment.

    What actions could we try to fix the problem?

    What changes were done just before the environment started to act like this? Something must have caused it and you need to figure out what was done.

    Seems your modelstore and/or object ids are somehow messed up.

    The thing is that we had 4 different developers moving modifications to production a day before this problem started.

    And none of them admit something going wrong :(
