Maintenance Tasks

Hello Dynamics professionals,

I have a short question coming up lately. Hope you can give us some insights.

In our company we have a maintenance job running every saturday for some hours.

The steps in the maintenance job are the following:

All AOS services are going to be stopped
Index files are deleted
First AOS is started
Compile startup command is started
First AOS is stopped
All AOS are started
Batch AOS services are restarted

We are questioning why we should do the full compile for the production system.

Our support team gave us the additional information that, if they do not do this maintenance, the performance
will degrade and the memory usage on some random AOS are going wild.

Does this full compile make sense at all? Or are some other things AX is doing internally, when compiling all objects in AOT?
If so, can these internal tasks be triggered manually?

RE: Maintenance Tasks

In the past there were some issues with AOT server that lead to memory leaks. Applying the proper kernel patch would solve that.

I don’t see point of performing a restart and full compile in a production environment as a maintenance tasks. I know customers that have a stable AOS production environment without any restart for months. They only restart AOS every 2 months to deploy code into production.
