VSTS Token Expire on LCS

VSTS Token Expire on LCS

From last week, LCS was showing popup to me to change VSTS access token.. I was ignoring the prompt message and was focus with my daily task..

When ever popup prompt to me i Just click No. 

After sometime due to some technical reason I have to de-allocate my Build machine. When de-allocation process complete. I face a strange behavior that configure button of instance was grayed.

After spending hours of hours over internet, I believe that issue cause because of VSTS Access token expire... So i decide to Generate token again from VSTS..

following are the simple steps to generate token over lcs.

First login on VSTS project you can find the Project URL on LCS project setting.

Then click on Team services TAB.

Copy the URL address and paste over browser. then click on security icon.

Now click on add token from personal access token TAB.

Now fill the newly open form and click on generate 

An access token will appear to you, please copy and save in notepad file for future reference. it will no longer available to you again.


Now go to project setting and click on Visual studio team services.

Click on change Button

Enter the personal access token 

Now click on continue then next and then click on save...

Now go back to check your build machine configure button, it will be enable for you..

Edit Method D365FO

In AX 2009, when reference control was not available, in the table if there is a relation created on the basis of any field i.e. there is a child table and it contains the record Id of the parent Table. When that child table binds to form, (to display and select the user-friendly information from the parent table, lookup controls were used). The record Id of the user-friendly value is saved on the table with the help of the edit methods.

Here is the example to use Edit Method.

edit int ageUpdate(boolean _set, int value)

    {

        SLD_DemoTable _demoTable;

        int  ret;

        // find the car records from the car table with update = true

        _demoTable = SLD_DemoTable::find(this.Name, _set);

        if (_set)

        {

            ttsbegin;

            _demoTable.Age = value;

            _demoTable.update();

            ttscommit;

        }

        else

        {

            ret = _demoTable.Age;

        }

        return ret;

    }

Environment hot fixes D365FO

Environment hot fixes D365FO

In my previous blogs, I have shown that how to get the list of the hotfixes applied to your environment.

Previous blog Link 

Today, I decided to create a simple page on D365FO which will show you the list of the hotfixes installed on your environment.

As we all know we can view installed hotfixes only from Visual studio and we couldn't verify the environment where Visual studio was not installed. Line UAT and production.

You can download the solution from here.

To import this project please follow this blog.

How solution work.

After successful import of the project Go to Systems Administration > Steup > Installed Hotfixes

Now click on initiate process. this process will take time.

Step-9 Click on the Ok button, Activity will take time because it will create module and sub-model if not exists in your environment and perform compile. You need to perform Database sync manually.

Step-10 Now navigate to the File menu and open the project. (You will find the recently imported project on the default path of Visual studio)

Reference Screenshot

Step-11 Now verify your all elements and check the model if it did not exist before import. In my case module and sub-model were not exists.
