Initialization checklist

Posted on by 5

Hello everyone,  I'm new to this field and I just finished installing Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2012 R3 on Windows Server 2012 R2 , it took me nearly 5 days to finish the whole setup process, but the big disappointment when I finally started up DAX I got a Checklist for the initialization and whenever I try to start by compiling, DAX just stops working. Did anyone encounter this issue ? Can anyone help me with anything ? I'm stuck.

Thanks

    Okay, then please wait until the compilation will be finished, and let us know if you have any further issue.

    Additionally, other check lists like full CIL and Synchronization may take a few hours.

    Please check it "verified answer", if your question is solved.

    This my first time with Dax so each time it stops responding I close it so basically I never  waited even for a minute. I didnt know it was running in the background.

    Dear AmineNaija

    In my experience, compilation usually takes for a long hours, and while compiling the ax window goes "blurry".

    How many hours you've waited for finishing?

    If you've already waited for a many hours, please check the event viewer to see detailed information about the status or error.

    Thanks.

    Exactly it freezes when i click on Compile. Thanks for your help I'm going to give it a shot now and wait.

    ps: I said "whenever I try to start compiling", yeah I know i wasnt clear enough, sorry.

    If that happens before starting the compiling process, what exactly did you do before it goes "blurry"?

    In your first message you said it does that after you start compiling, but now you say it happens before the compilation starts. I don't understand.

    It will "freeze" after you click "Compile application". That's when it starts compiling the application.

    Thanks for your reply. By "Stops working" I meant the DAX window goes blurry and stops responding before even starting the compiling  process

    What do you mean by "stops working"? The compilation takes many hours and the client is in "Not responding" during that time. So maybe you should wait for it to finish.

    However compiling via the UI is slow since it uses only a single thread. You can use axbuild command line tool instead, which should make it a lot faster.
