Hi all

I am having an issue performing a full build on a platform update 8 environment. Most of the errors come from the Symmetry namespace - here is a sample:

Error Class 'Symmetry.TaxEngine.Money' was not found. Are you missing a module reference? J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin\XppSource\Foundation\AxClass_PayrollCalculatePayStatementTaxes.xpp 347

I guess it cannot find the dlls, but I don't know where to look. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,
Joe

    Hi Joe,

    1. Replace the 0-size DLLs
      1. Locate the following files with size larger than 0 KB and copy them to AosService\PackagesLocal\Directory\Bin folder. Usually these files are locate in PayrollTaxModule\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin:
        1. Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Application.HumanCapitalManagement.dll
        2. ste.dll
        3. ste-net.dll
        4. ste-ttl.dll

      2. For example, look at Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Application.HumanCapitalManagement.dll:
        DLLs.png
    2. What happened in my case:
      1. simlink files were correctly deployed during the original deployment.
      2. I archived PackagesLocalDirectory folder
      3. when I restored the archive the simlink files were missing
      4. I manually copied the files like described in steps 1.1.1-1.1.4
      5. it works now fine
