Missing menu after restore DB

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 709

Hi,

I've restored DB from my UAT environment using SqlPackage (Bacpac file) to my devbox. It is succeeded and I can open the F&O locally. But I cannot see all the menu extension. If I checked in Visual Studio, the extension is there and I didn't see any security in it. The objects in my DevBox also all updated (Get latest) and tried to Build and succeeded. 

May I know what else could go wrong so the customization like the menu extension is not showing ? I thought by restoring DB from UAT environment, I will get the same thing for all objects. If I go to that UAT environment and login with the same user id of mine, I can see that menu.

Can I get some advice on what should I do ?

Is the Product version and Platform version in my DevBox should be same, because the UAT environment product version is 10.0.29 Platform Update53 and my DevBox is 10.0.24 Platform Update48

Thanks,

I have the same question (0)

    Another addition, or perhaps the root cause is after gone through the list of installed models from my local D365FO - About menu, I didn't find the models that holds those customization. May I know why this model (custom model) not appear in my local F&O ? but I have another custom model and it is appeared.

    Thanks

    Hi ShaqAX,

    In contrast, you will only receive the data that is present in UAT. You won't receive the objects by restoring the DB.

    Did you run database synchronization along with the build?

    Yes, when Build also with Database Synchronization. During Build I even included Models : Foundation, Platform, and Suite, along with the my model. There are  2 custom models, one shows but another one not.

    Hello ShaqAX,

    Database restore does not affect your menu or menu items. You are simply moving data. I suggest you take a look at the models if present on your environment. Do full build and check the ERP.

    Okay, perhaps you didn't download the appropriate devops branch's objects.

    The standard procedure is to check in code from the development branch, merge it into the UAT/Test branch, and then deploy the deployable package from the UAT/Test branch to the UAT server. So, if the objects are available in UAT but not in the Dev branch, you should examine the source control history.

    The model (missing) is exist in "C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory", same with the other custom model that appeared. Only this one is not appeared in my D365FO if I check in About menu.

    There is one error for one class object during Build in that model. Will that prevent the model to being shown?

    Build all models and synchronize database.

    Also double check that you are visiting the right url.

    Yeap, the 1 error in 1 class makes the models cannot load.

    Never thought because this single error causing it.

    Now it shows after commented it.

    Good, so restoring database doesn't have any effect on the objects.
