Hello,

I'm currently working at a customer with lots and lots of DEV-machines connected to TFS.

I would like to scheduled following:

1. run AXBuild.exe with batch (or powershell) every night/week

2. If the AxCompileAll.html contains Errors <> 0 send e-mail.

The html file contains this if all is OK:

Compiler Error log : 2016-02-12

Errors : 0

Warnings : 0

Best Practice Deviations : 0

If errors:

Compiler Error log : 2016-02-18

Errors : 13

Warnings : 24

Best Practice Deviations : 0

The first step is easy. To send the AxCompileAll.html via e-mail etc with powershell is also doable.

BUT..my issue is that i need to filter out to only do actions if Errors <> 0.

Anyone have any solution for this or input?

If there is a way with Select-String to filter out this it would be the best solution I think. Tried that but have not found a way to do above yet.

This is my current ps script for this:

compile:
$ServerInstallDirectory = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\DynamicsAX_STAGE"
& $ServerInstallDirectory\bin\axutil.exe schema
$ClientInstallDirectory = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client"
& $ServerInstallDirectory\bin\AXBuild.exe xppcompileall /aos=01 /workers=12 /nocleanup /altbin=$ClientInstallDirectory\Bin /compiler=$ServerInstallDirectory\bin\ax32serv.exe
$TargetFile = $ServerInstallDirectory + "\Log\AxCompileAll.html"

send e-mail:

$fromaddress = donotreply@mailserver.com
$toaddress = "Alert@customer.com"
#$bccaddress = ""
#$CCaddress = ""
$Subject = "Compile - Stage - Results"
$body = get-content .\content.htm
$attachment = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\DynamicsAX_STAGE\Log\AxCompileAll.html"
$smtpserver = "mailserver"

####################################

if( (get-item "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\DynamicsAX_STAGE\Log\AxCompileAll.html").length -gt 105KB)
{
$message = new-object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$message.From = $fromaddress
$message.To.Add($toaddress)
#$message.CC.Add($CCaddress)
#$message.Bcc.Add($bccaddress)
$message.IsBodyHtml = $True
$message.Subject = $Subject
$attach = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($attachment)
$message.Attachments.Add($attach)
$message.body = $body
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpserver)
$smtp.Send($message)
}

(the length -gt 105KB is one way i use today to see what file size is the break even when the Error occur. In my case 105KB means 0 Errors. If Errors=3 the file size will be like 135kb)

I believe what you want is to take a look at this: gallery.technet.microsoft.com/.../Build-and-deploy-for-b166c6e4.These are the Microsoft standard build scripts. You can find all you need in there.

Snippet from the Common.ps1:

function Check-CompilerErrors

{

Write-InfoLog ("Begin Check-CompilerErrors: {0}" -f (Get-Date))

$compileErrors = $false

if ((test-Path (join-path $clientLogDir "AxCompileAll.html")) -eq $true)

{

foreach ($line in (Get-Content (join-path $clientLogDir "AxCompileAll.html")))

{

if (($XMLstarted -eq $true) -and ($line.Contains('</XML>')))

{

$XMLstarted = $false

$xmlContent += $line.Replace('</XML>','')

}

if ($XMLstarted -eq $true) {$xmlContent += $line}

if ($line -eq '<XML ID="compilerinfo">') {$XMLstarted = $true}

}

[xml]$AxXml = $xmlcontent

foreach($record in $axXml.AxaptaCompilerOutput.Record)

{

if ($record -ne $null -and (($record.field[7]).get_InnerText()) -eq "0")

{

$compileErrors = $true

$line = "Compiler ERROR: {0}\{1} : {2}" -f ($record.field[0]).get_InnerText(),($record.field[6]).get_InnerText(),($record.field[10]).get_InnerText()

Write-ErrorLog($line)

}

}

}

if ($compileErrors -eq $true)

{

Write-ErrorLog "Errors while compiling code."

}

Write-InfoLog ("End Check-CompilerErrors: {0}" -f (Get-Date))

}

Do you have any reason not to use Team Foundation Build? If you're using TFS for version control, why not for builds? You're writing scripts for things that Team Foundation Build can already do for you, which doesn't sounds very efficient.

There are even AX build activities for XAML-based builds, which (among other things) do all the parsing of errors for you, therefore you wouldn't have to worry about it if you used them. You'll find them in CodePlex project called Dynamics AX Admin Utilities.
