D365FO 7.3 Hotfix Apply Issues

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 339

Hey All,

I was updating a new environment to latest versions as part of an upgrade.  Hit 3 1 issue I'd be interested if anyone has seen before or has solutions.

1. System Out of Memory exception when applying large hotfix package (ALL app fixes past 7.3) in Visual Studio 2015, got to about 600 changes to check-in which is not enough. If i kept hitting apply it got a bit further but this isn't ideal.  I was expecting a few thousand.

2. Applying via command line did not correctly give me the number of checkins I expected - only 100

3. Rolling back to the changeset I checked in after 'prepare' still shows loads of installed hotfixes from step 1, which is not correct. How can I reset the 'installed hotfixes' list in VS?   2 and 3 likely because "prepare" didn't check in the Descriptors for each model, and I didn't add manually. Make sure you add that, bit of an oversight!

Process:

  1.  Deploy Dev VM with 7.3 platform 12.
  2. Apply latest binaries
  3. Map to virtually empty Dev Branch. Only tiny extension model.
  4. Download Hotfix package
  5. Prepare > Checkin (Changeset A)
  6. Apply with Visual Studio - fell over a lot with sysoutofmemory VS exeception.
  7. Rollback to Changeset A
  8. Ran from command line:  SCDPBundleInstall.exe -install -packagepath=C:\Users\REMOVED\Downloads\package\HotfixPackageBundle.axscdppkg -metadatastorepath=K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -tfsworkspacepath=K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -tfsprojecturi=removed.visualstudio.com/D365
  9. checked installed updates, still thinks they're all installed - they shouldn't be.

Am I in a 'Throw away VM and start again' situation?

    ps. It was a Visual Studio out of memory issue not the actual VM which had over 20GB free.  Must've hit the 32bit limit of VS

    Edit: https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/p/248673/776698 AB2014 had exact same issues back in 1611PU5 wonder if it is a regression

    Few days back i applied 1102 Application HFs to my 7.3 PU 15 VM and VS was showing Out of memory exception to me as well . It took nearly 23 iterations for me to load that bundle HFs package successfully and keep checking in objects after every run . After applying X++ fixes in Dev VM , still environment tile was displaying same number of fixes , contacted MS on that and they suggested to apply all Binary HFs as well in order to successfully achieve the results. After applying 178 Binary HFs , X++ tile count comes to 0 . But now my build definition is failing on App Suite OOB classes error . Let me know if you face the same.

    use the SCDPBundleInstall.exe utility for applying metadata Hotfixes. It's much light weight process when compared to applying hotfix from the Visual Studio UI. Use the VS apply hotfix method only for individual KBs.
