Hi,

When I was working hands on the CTP8 environment of Dynamics AX 7, I mistakenly created two Models (Application Platform Customized and dfsfsd) both referencing existing package "Application Platform". Since then a blocking error popup is coming which says, "Some models have duplicate ids..."

Please see the image below:-

This blocking error is coming everywhere, on every button click in the Visual Studio !!!

I understood I needed to delete the 2 models and that will fix the issue, but I could find any option to delete the model from Visual Studio. Then I tried using axutil from C:\Packages\Bin location. But this is what it says:-

ERROR: Microsoft Dynamics AX 7.0 not found in the registry. Please specify the /db switch.

Can you please help me what database value I need to specify here for the CTP8 environment? I saw that its of the following format:-

axutil list /db:<database>

And what is any (if any) better way to delete the erroneous models?

I am surprised the AX 7 environment is so unstable, a simple mistake by the developer can bring it down.

each model has folder in local drive, one way to delete model can be deleting that local repository for specific model.

when we create a model, which has a reference model, model is created described inside that referred model. such as in your case error message is showing you

C:\Package\ApplicationSuite\referedModelName(dfsfsd)

Model will go way if you

1) delete model folder

2) delete references inside referred Model

I do agree with you that AX7, can come down if some mistake done by a developer and mistakenly a folder is deleted from local repository

I could not find any way to delete the model from Visual studio but you can directly go into the explorer and delete following things:

Solution created for the project(model)

For Extension model, Package folder created for that extension model.

For Customization model, folder created for the model under existing package and the descriptor xml file for the model.

You can check here details about how model folder structure and XML files are created. I have tried creating and deleting the model several times.

Hi Sagnik,

Please use modelUtil.exe in C:\Packages\Bin. axutil is pretty much deprecated
