Yesterday, as I was searching the KB in PartnerSource for some solution, accidentally I bumped on this link in KB,
that the latest rollup for Dynamics AX 2009 SP1 is released, The release date was on 4th July, 2010, but MS has not published this in the PartnerSource > Solutions > Dynamics AX Page. That’s strange though!

Anyways, one can view the fixes available and request for download of these fixes from the link below (Please note that it requires PartnerSource Login)

The rollup 5 has one of the fix which we desperately needed to fix one of the issues which we are constantly facing on our DEV AOS box and which I had posted in one of my previous blog http://daxdilip.blogspot.com/2010/06/microsoft-dynamics-ax-application.html

Overview  For our project, we were developing bunch of AIF Web Services to be consumed by external applications such as Commerce Server and Custom ASP.Net web apps.

Issue We initially tried to generate some of the standard out of the box web services for creating customer, vendor etc. The generation was successful but when consuming these web services through a Test harness .Net Windows App, We encountered the following two errors in Event Viewer

Event Log 1

Microsoft Dynamics AX Business Connector Session 9.
An X++ exception has occurred.

Request Failed. See the Exception Log for details.
 
Event Log 2: 

The description for Event ID 0 from source Dynamics Application Integration Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.



If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.


The following information was included with the event:
An error occurred while Web service request http://wdmaxaosdev01vm.retail.ad.cmltd.net.au/MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif50/liqtrlrservice.svc and action http://tempuri.org/LIQTRLRService/create were being processed. Error details:
.


Request Failed. See the Exception Log for details.


**Exception:**

Message: Stack trace: at Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessConnectorNet.Axapta.CallStaticClassMethod(String className, String methodName, Object[] paramList)


Request Failed. See the Exception Log for details.



at Microsoft.Dynamics.IntegrationFramework.Service.WcfAxAdapter.SubmitMessageToAx()


The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file

Solution
There was no track of any X++ exception messages in the Basic > Periodic > Application Integration Framework > Exceptions Form.

After some time of troubleshooting, got to know that the .Net Business Connector Configuration was missing on the AOS Server where AIF was installed. Creating a .Net Business Connector Configuration by going to Control Panel > Administration Tools > Client Configuration Utility resolved the issue.

How can a small Icelandic organization go
global and challenge the Goliaths like SAP with a fantastic retail solution on Microsoft
Dynamics platform?  The answer to this
question lies in the very nature of the ISV, or Independent Software Vendor,
role in the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem. 

ISVs are a breed of organizations who build
their software solutions to work in a niche or in concert with a larger software
firm’s technologies.  In the case of
Microsoft Dynamics, ISVs have long found a suite of ERP and CRM products for
which they can create their own applications. This ecosystem offers inn…

Although imperfect, one way to
compare the relative popularity of competing software platforms in specific
geographic regions is to track and compare their respective job markets.  And a new website, Job Graphs, does just that.

With a series of measurements
and graphs, Job Graphs reports on the number of open jobs for competing ERP,
EAI, CRM and virtualization applications as well as programming languages and
operating systems skills. It also shows where the jobs are located, the
experience and additional skills required and the average salaries offered.

Microsoft Dynamics products are
right in the mix, with stats for Dynamics AX, NAV, GP and CRM.  Here are some of the figures recently pulled
from the site:
