Microsoft.Dynamics.DataEntities.ExportToPackage - Not creating a execution in Job History - D365 FO

Hi,

I am calling the API method " Microsoft.Dynamics.DataEntities.ExportToPackage " from Logic apps . The recurrence is set to 4am every day.

The issue doesn't occur often. But not sure why this happens. Given below the details

First step: Call API ExportToPackage. URL is https://D365FOURL/data/DataManagementDefinitionGroups/Microsoft.Dynamics.DataEntities.ExportToPackage

Step2 : I could see the API call creates a new execution

When I check in D365FO, I do not find any such execution Id

Though I give a delay of 25 seconds in Logic apps to move to the next step to GetExportedPackageURL, with this missing execution id, the step fails

I tried checking in event viewer and did not find any error in the given time and it shows the execution id.

When I resubmit the run again, the execution is successful.

Could you please advise on where I need to focus ?

Hi AnithaEswaran,

Instead of using Delay between ExportPackage and GetExportedPackageURL, you need to implement a loop with a call to GetExecutionSummaryStatus to check if the package is ready to be downloaded. Most likely you see the error because export was not finished after it was requested within 25 seconds. Check also export process diagram from docs.

Thank you Sergei.

In my case, ExportToPackage doesn`t create ExecutionId in D365FO. This doesnt happen often.

As mentioned in the second link, GetExecutionSummaryStatus works only if the execution Id exists in Ax.

Is the async processing flight enabled? There was a bug a while ago that showed this behavior with the DMF API. Not sure what PU you are on, but try enabling the async flight and run through your tests again

Hi AnithaEswaran ,

GetExecutionSummaryStatus checks not only the execution table but also DMFExecutionAsync table where execution is created during async run. It can also fail, but in this case, you can re-run ExportPackage step. Async executions can be delayed if there is a heavy load on the backend, so if you don't see execution right after you executed ExportPackage, it doesn't mean that it failed, it can be executed later, but GetExecutionSummaryStatus call can give you understanding if the execution record was created or not.

There is also flight DMFDisableExportAsyncRecordCreation, which activates check that async thread creates execution before ExecutionId will be returned in the response for ExportPackage, but in your case, ExportPackage step will fail.

Anyway, I recommend using GetExecutionSummaryStatus for error handling and status check instead of delay.

We are seeing the same issue. The post returns at status of 200 and execution ID, but the export project is never activated or logged. You can wait a long as you like, the export package will never be created.

It happens more often when the instance is under heavy load but also happens when pretty much nothing else is going on.

Where is this in flight DMFDisableExportAsyncRecordCreation setting?
