How to debug a system class that was called while running a power shell script!!

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Peter Samir 446

Hi,

We are upgrading from AX 2012 to Dynamics 365 F&O, We are using a data upgrade deploy-able package that consists of several steps with several power shell scripts.

One of these steps is starting and stopping the batch service then failed.

We tried to run this script manually through power shell and we got the reason of failure was due to Dynamics 365 F&O method. (Class\ ReleaseUpdateDB72_Project\ updateProjCostTransWorkerToResource)

I reviewed this method and it seems to be OK but i would like to be sure by debugging this method while running the power shell script.

So, I need your support to know:

How to debug a method that was run by a power shell script? What is the process that i have to attach??(If Batch Service is stopped)

Thanks

I have the same question (0)

    Just knowing that the code is written in Powershell isn't sufficient - we need to know what the code does (i.e. which process it starts). If it's not clear from the error message, look into the script file. Share it with us if needed.

    You can also debug the script if you don't know where it fails.

    Hi Martin,

    I checked the script file and it fails after running the following lines:

    #wait till postsync script finished

    $upgradeParameter = " --setupmode runstaticxppmethod --classname UpgradeServiceHelper --methodname WaitForDataUpgradeToComplete"

    Write-Output "monitoring postsync"

    Start-Process $command $($commandParameter+$upgradeParameter) -PassThru -Wait -RedirectStandardError "$LogDir\dbUpgradePostSyncMonitor.error.log"

    $dbupgradeError = Get-Content "$LogDir\dbUpgradePostSyncMonitor.error.log"

    The log file for the failed step is as follow:

    08/17/2020 14:39:35: Infolog diagnostic message: 'Script Error(s) found. Please refer to the ReleaseUpdateScriptsErrorLog table for details' on category 'Error'.

    What process will be started is defined by $command variable.

    Thanks Martin,

    I checked $command variable and its value is (K:\AosService\WebRoot\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe)

    This seems to answer what process you should debug. If it fails before you get a chance to attach the debugger, try this: Debug an app that isn't part of a Visual Studio solution.
