I am trying to set my new laptop up with a developer installation of MS Dynamics AX 2009.
I start by installing MS SQL Server 2008 R2, this goes in fine, I create a new database in here.
I then launch the AX 2009 setup, I firstly install the Application Files, go through this, all is OK.
I then re-launch the AX 2009 setup, installing the AOS, I login using a specific username / password setup for the AOS.
I then re-launch the AX 2009 setup and install the Client and Debugger.
When I go to launch the AOS in Services the service gets 'stuck on "Starting" and after 5/10/15 minutes waiting and refreshing nothing happens?
Do I need to install the Database files in the AX 2009 setup as well?
Many thanks...
Yes you need to have an AX 2009 database. Either install it via the AX 2009 installer or deploy the contoso example database from Microsoft. Easier to install from the installer.
The first start of the AOS can take some time, but if you don't have a database, I can't imagine how it would work.
Go to (Administrative Tools>Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Server Configuration) and click the database tab of your instance, and what does it have? Does that database exist or is anything selected?
You should check the windows event viewer under "applications" to see issues during service startup.
/This isn't really code btw...

'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. I am getting this in visual studio only after upgrading from 32bit office 2013 to 64bit office 16. I have already installed the 64bit database engine and my published project from IIS is working with the existing access database. I switched debug mode to x64 and remove the references to the old office and replaced them with the new office access. How can I get Visual Studio 2010 to recognize my access database created in access 2013?
Things I have tried:
Installing Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable 64bit version.
Updating the office references in the project.
Debugging in x64 mode
This is a little outside of my normal area of database application design;
it's unclear - you state 2016 Office 64 bit installed but then Access 2010 Redistributable/Runtime 64bit - - so do you have a full license of Access installed?
if you do have the full Access license - try something that is quick: create a brand new database and import that table. Then try the link to this new db.
I had that issue in the past.
install 2007 Office System Driver and restart visual studio.
I've dealt many time with this problem, the solution was ever install one of these:
AccessDatabaseEngine 2007.exe
AccessDatabaseEngine_2010.exe
AccessDatabaseEngine_2016.exe
AccessDatabaseEngine_X64_2010.exe
AccessDatabaseEngine_X64_2016.exe
Most of the time I've solved installing the 2007 one even using 2016 version.
To run 32-bit applications on IIS, you will get the same error. So, from the IIS 7, right-click on the applications' application pool and go to "advanced settings" and change "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to "TRUE".
Restart your website and it should work.
I am planning to install CU 5 for BizTalk 2013 R2. I cannot find any reviews online so I wanted to have your feedback if there are issues installing the CU 5. I am using BizTalk 2013 R2 and I haven't installed any CU updates thus far.
Link of CU upgrade - Cumulative Update package 5 for BizTalk Server 2013 R2
You should install all BizTalk CU's during regular maintenance.
It's a good idea to treat them like any other app update, meaning apply to DEV, then TEST, then PROD, applying all you regular test procedures along the way.
For clarity, all BizTalk Server CU's are cumulative so CU5 will include all updates and patches from 1-4 as well.
There is an issue with BizTalk 2013R2 CU5 when you install it without the required SQL admin rights (the installer doesn't notify about this the way it should according to my opinion).
At the end of the installation, the installer will tell you it failed completing some post-installer steps. In the installer log file you will find a reference to the missing SQL rights.
When you try to open the BizTalk Admin Console, you will encouter a 'Could not find stored procedure ops_ClearOperationsProgress' exception.
The only way to recover from this is doing a database restore of the management database.
I wrote a blog post about this here.
My SQL Server Object Explorer is not showing any databases:
I also get an error A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. .... When I run the website, the error being shown is The system cannot find the file specified. Furthermore, SQL Server is missing from Services:
(It was installed together with Visual Studio and was never used separately)
Yesterday, everything worked like charm; I had multiple databases with tables and was able to access the data. Today, the same project can't even start, no db's either. What's wrong with Visual Studio here? Thanks
I've had the same problem before. Took me a while to figure it out. What you need to do is go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299
In my case, i'm using SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. You must find the one that suits the version of SQL studio that you're using (2008, 2012, 2014).
Click the big download button and now, it is very important that you choose the proper version. Check:
Express 32BIT\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe if you're running on a 32-bit PC, or
Express 64BIT\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe if you're running on a 64-bit PC
It is very important that you install Express version.
Next, once you install that, you should be able to see the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) in your services.msc, along with few other SQL services installed.
Open Visual Studio 2015 and in SQL Server Object Explorer window right click on SQL Server and choose Add SQL Server... option. It should prompt you to connet to the server from SQL Server Management Studio.
If you kept everything by default during the installation, just type . (dot) for the Server name and click connect. Now it should load the database.
It turns out that Visual Studio does not come with MS SQL Server in the default installation. It is necessary to install SQL Server Data Tools from the MS website manually. VS custom installation also allows to do that, but you will need an installer. Just make sure to select SSDT in the custom installation components menu. Additionally, I also ran an update from VS itself that allowed me to install SQL Server 2008, 14, and 16. I am finally able to access DB in VS!
Needs help with Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2012, installation and configuration.
Any info will be helpful, totally new to this technology.
My Personal notes:
You need to download the Dynamics ax on a Windows server 2008 r2 or windows server 2012.
While checking requisites, if you have an error with a configure check box enabled, use this check box to let the system automatically solve the issue for you.
When installing SQL server, note to enable the following features:
-Data Base engine services
-Full text search
-Analysis services
-Reporting services
-Business Intelligence
-Management tools basic

We recently upgraded our biztalk server 2006R2 to SP1. The problem is that we're having some small issues now, for example the administration console crashes when I browse for a folder if I want to make a file send/receive port.
Any idea what might cause this problem?
I'm having no problems when I browse for a folder with our normal explorer and then copy paste its address into the biztalk folder browser.
Make sure you update towards the latest CU for your service pack.
For BizTalk 2006 R2 with SP1, this is CU4.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2682056 for more information on CU4 for BizTalk 2006 SP1.
If this still does not help, there is a temporary workaround to export/import bindings of existing receive locations/send ports with a FILE adapter. This allows you to still create the ports/locations you need and unblocks the situation.
In any case, if the problem persists, you might want to check with Microsoft about the issue.
That is in case your license includes the extended support option which lasts until 12 July 2016.
If you don't have extended support, the support ended on July 11th 2011 I'm afraid...
