Activate Financial Dimensions in Dynamics 365FO

 

Activate Financial Dimensions 

How to resolve the error when activating financial dimension in D365 FO – “The activation of dimensions is only allowed when the system is in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode can be enabled in this environment by running maintenance jobs from LCS or using the Deployment Setup tool locally.

So to fix this issue or to activate the financial dimension, you need to enable the maintenance mode on your targeted environment. only then you can activate the Financial Dimension.

There are 3 ways to enable maintenance mode.

• LCS
• Command Line
• Query

LCS

Login to LCS, Navigate to your environment, Go to Maintain menu and click on enable maintenance mode.

Command Line

Open the command windows as Systems Administrator and execute the below command.

K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe –metadatadir K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory –bindir C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory –sqlserver . –sqldatabase axdb –sqluser AOSUser –sqlpwd AOSWebSite@123 –setupmode maintenancemode –isinmaintenancemode true

SQL Script

Please perform the following steps 

• Disable the IIS services.
• Disable the Batch job services
• Open SQL and Execute the below command on AxDB

Update SQLSystemvariables set Value=0 where parm='CONFIGURATIONMODE'

Database sync failed during Dimension Activation

 

Database sync failed during Dimension Activation

If you are facing the Database sync failure and below error while activating the Financial dimension in maintenance mode.

Please perform the following steps to resolve this issue

You need to fix your data. Go to the Visual studio find inventdim table then check what fields are in "DimIdx" index.

Then Open the SQL and execute the below query to confirm either you have duplicate Invent Dim or nor

select InventDimId from INVENTDIM

group by InventDimId

having count(*)>1

When records will be identified you need to make a decision on what to do with them. fix data or delete.

Maintenance Mode Exception

Batch Service Exception (Maintenance Mode) D365FO

Recently, My office colleague faced an issue while starting  Microsoft D365 windows batch services in Update 15. after 10 seconds of processing it's getting failed 

When we check in Event Viewer with below Path

Application and services Logs > Microsoft > Dynamics > AX-BatchService > Operations

Batch service throwing below Error 

After spending some hours on the internet root cause was found. this issue occurs When D365FO is On Maintenance Mode.

There are two ways to fix this issue...

The proper way; Use the Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe command; 

Run this from the command line:

C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe –metadatadir C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory –bindir C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory –sqlserver . –sqldatabase axdb –sqluser AOSUser –sqlpwd AOSWebSite@123 –setupmode maintenancemode –isinmaintenancemode false 

The Hack way; Use the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and edit the following record in the table dbo.SQLSystemvariables ; CONFIGURATIONMODE

Update SQLSystemvariables set Value=0 where parm='CONFIGURATIONMODE'
