Hi Folks,
We recently discoverred that our production AOS servers are running different versions of AX; 1500.3240 on some, and 1500.2985 on others; so all have RU5, but some have additional hotfixes. The same situation is true of our AX Clients.
I found that you can view a list of installed hotfixes via the SysHotfixManifest class. Sadly exporting this from the AOT and comparing the resultant XPOs from each server showed the same results. That's unsurprising as all AOSes look at files on a common application directory.
Do you know of a way that I can view which hotfixes are installed, including those applied to binaries? Is there anyway to determine this from the build number?
Sadly we don't have the option of applying RU6 & 7 immediately to all servers to bypass the issue as this will require regression testing.
I suspect that copying the binaries between servers would resolve the issue, but that's risky and also I'm not sure which version's correct - i.e. though some servers have a later version I don't know what the hotfix is / what potential impact this could have. Part of the benefit of knowing which hotfixes were missing from some servers is this may help to explain a number of intermittent issues we've been seeing.
Thanks in advance,
JB
