Cross-Reference Update Not Working (AX 2012 R3)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I cannot get the Cross-Reference Update to work. I've read the various threads available on the web regarding this, and I've tried running it as a job in batch, truncating the tables manually, etc., but nothing seems to work.

I've tried letting it run for days, and still nothing.

Three things that I've noticed are :

  1. If I run it from the IDE dialog, the progress window doesn't show a path.
  2. When I query XREFDIALOGUPDATE from SQL, there is no Path value.
  3. Other than XREFDIALOGUPDATE, none of the XREF tables ever get populated with anything.

I'm not sure where to go from here.

    Hi Steve Murphy!

    Try to run this job.

    static void UpdateCrossRefBatch(Args _args)
    {
        //drop all data from cross references table
        xRefUpdate::truncateXrefTables();
     
        //run batch job to rebuild cross references
        xRefUpdateIL::updateAllXref(true, false, true);
    
        info("Done, cross reference update batch job created."); 
    }

    Yes, that's what I've been using when I run it batch. That doesn't work either.

    Hello Steve

    If running as batch is not working, please check if your AOS batch server configuration and batch group config.

    Yes, thank you for the reply. We have looked at that, and everything looks good.

    Yes, we did. The development machine was a VM. We increased the memory and disk space, and the problem went away. In fact, the cross-reference update performance increased dramatically. It runs in about 5-1/2 hours now.
