Trace Parser SQL - Missing Quotes on ItemId and SalesId

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jim Bonnie 60

Hi,

I am using Trace Parser version 6.0.947.9033 to display information collected against AX 2009.

The SQL displayed by Trace Parser shows queries like this where SalesId is missing quotes around.

When I run this SQL it is very slow and is much faster when placing the quotes around salesid

like AND (((SALESID='42020666').

I will try and capture this SQL in the DB, but there is either a bug in the AX interpreter or the Trace Parser!!!

Any thoughts from the experts "

Thanks Jim

select a.recid

FROM CUSTCONFIRMTRANS A
WHERE ((DATAAREAID='vcc')
AND (((SALESID=42020666)
AND (CONFIRMID='C22988508'))
AND (CONFIRMDATE='2014-11-20')))

    I managed to reproduce your problem in Trace Parser (6.3.164.0), but I don't believe that the problem lies in AX.

    Your findings were surprising to me - as far as I know, the only correct value, and the one that AX actually uses, would be N'42020666'.

    Look at the following X++ code (for AX 2012):

    CustConfirmTrans a;
select generateOnly forceLiterals RecId from a
    where a.SalesId == '4202666';
info(a.getSqlStatement());

    It returns the following:

    SELECT T1.RECID FROM CUSTCONFIRMTRANS T1
WHERE (... -- Partition and DataAreaId
AND (SALESID=N'4202666'))

    You can't use the same piece of code in AX 2009, nevertheless you can use SQL Server Profiler or Extended Evens to see what AX really sends to database. I'm pretty sure you will find something similar.

    The query with a numeric value is so slow because SQL Server converts all Sales IDs in database to int (and if there is any non-numeric Sales ID, it will fail ("Conversion failed when converting nvarchar value 'xyz' to data type int").

    But as I mentioned above, I see the same problem in Trace Parser

    I believe that the problem is either in Trace Parser or in the way how trace data is collected. Either way, it's likely nothing that we can fix. You should report it to Microsoft and request a fix.

    Thank you for confirming that you believe this is a Trace Parser issue.

    I was able to collect the SQL with profilier and see the correct Character paramater, so this is not an AX problem.

    I will report the problem to MSFT for them to investigate.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    I have opened a ticket with MSFT to see if they can offer a fix for Trace Parser, I will post the results here.

    I'm seeing the same issue as I try to analyze queries.  Was there any fix for this?
