AX 2012 R2 CU7 MS Project Integration error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Iñigo Vecino 465
Hello, I'm having some problems with the integration between MSDAX2012 CU7 and MSProject.
I've configured the parameters under Project Management and Accounting --> Setup --> Paramters --> Microsoft Project Integration.

When I go to "All projects" --> Plan and I click on "Open in MSProject" It creates a file on the folder I set up and It opens MSProject but It's empty and In the status bar I get an error saying "Synch failed. Please see log for more details."

When check the event viewer I got an error telling the next:

20/01/2014 16:11:59 - The lenght cannot be less than zero. Name of parameter: length (Error) *

20/01/2014 16:11:59 - en Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.OfficeAddin.Project.SyncFromAX.DoSync() en
Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.OfficeAddin.Project.SyncBase.Sync(SyncInformation& information) (Error)

20/01/2014 16:11:59 - Sync failed.

*this row has been translated.

Any advice?

best regards.

    Can you please run through the following and tell me if it fixes the issue:

    1) Log into Microsoft Dynamics AX client as an administrator.

    2) Go to System Administration > Services and Application Integration Framework > Inbound Ports

    3) Check to see if the following services are deployed: "AifContract", "AifProject" and "AifProjWBS"

    4) If any of these services are not deployed (indicated by a "X" icon to it's left), simply select that service and click on "Activate" in the toolbar.

    5) Once all services are deployed, run through your scenario again and see if it fixes the problem.

    Hello,

    Thank for your fast reply.

    I've checked the services and all of them are activated. I also checked them using the WSDL and they are working properly.<br />

    I've tried to export the Project again and I've found a weird behaviour:

    - If I run AX or MSProject as admin  and I try to export to MSProject, I get an error saying:

    "COM object of class 'MSProject.Application' could not be created. Ensure that the object has been

    properly registered on computer 'AX2012-XXXX'."

    "Object 'COM' could not be created"

    "Ensure that Microsoft Project is installed"

    And If I do without admin permisions, I got an error in the event viewer saying this (At least it's not the same

    as I had before):

    Please run through the following:

    1) Run MS Project and Dynamics AX as admin.

    2) While keeping MS Project open, go to AX and click on "Open with MS Project" button.

    3) Do you still see the "COM object of class" exception?

    Hello Taha Ahmad,

    Thanks for your help.

    If I start the session with the administrator account of the active directory and I do this steps:

    1- Open AX with run as administrator.

    2- Open MSProject with run as administrator.

    3- AX client --> open in MSProject.

    I don't get the COM object error but the synch still fails.

    this is the event viewer log:

    21/01/2014 13:21:51 - No se puede mostrar la vista o el informe porque se eliminó la tabla "&Entry", en la que se basaban. (Error)

    **Translation: Can not display the view or the report because the table Entry where they based was deleted.

    It would seem that the MS Project installation on your machine has been corrupted. Is it possible for you to uninstall MS Project and reinstall it?

    Please note, that this might require you to install the Office Addins from Dynamics AX setup again.

    Before you follow the above steps, can you give me the following details:

    1) What OS are you using?

    2) What version of MS Project are you using (2010 or 2013)?

    3) Is your MS Project 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Ok, it seems that there might be a possible corruption in the installation of MS Project on your system.

    I am copy-pasting my previous to last comment:

    It would seem that the MS Project installation on your machine has been corrupted. Is it possible for you to uninstall MS Project and reinstall it?

    Please note, that this might require you to install the Office Addins from Dynamics AX setup again.

    I will work with Tom to get some additional information about this in a few hours.

    Thank you very much Taha Ahamad.

    I will uninstall it and install it again including the addins from Dynamics AX and I'll post again to let you know the results.

    Best regards,

    - Iñigo V.
