Hello,
I am following the steps on the following link: ax.help.dynamics.com/.../personalized-product-recommendations-powered-by-cognitive-services-and-azure-machine-learning
However, in step 4, when I try to enable POS recommendations on the "Machine learning" tab in the Retail Parameters form, I get two errors and the slider is automatically re-disabled. The errors are: "The recommendation models couldn't be retrieved" and "The recommendations package hasn't been installed." I tried debugging with Visual Studio and the code causes an exception at line 83 of the class RetailTransactionServiceRecommendations where the run time values in the watch window are configurationManager=Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Analytics.CortanaAnalytics.CortanaAnalyticsConfigurationManager and parameter is an array of objects with 1 object with value "RetailRecommender".
All the above is standard SYS code with no customizations.
I tired to solve this by trying to deploy the "RetailRecommender" package provided by Microsoft in the LCS Global Asset Library. I am unsure how to get LCS to deploy this for me. I have tried using both a demo topology and a dev/build topology. I managed to get the package published but not validated. I also was unable to do it using manual deployment but was unsuccessful.
Also in the following blog post: blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../875 it is stated that when creating a new operations environment, LCS should provide an option to install the "Machine Learning" components by default. However, this is nowhere to be found.
Any pointers from someone who managed to get this up and running either via LCS or via a manual deployment, will be greatly appreciated.
Note: this issue is also being discussed on DynamicsUser.Net: dynamicsuser.net/.../cortana-intelligence-product-recommendations-package
