DB sync errors when change tracking is enabled for a table on sql server and you changed the field size. Example: In below, I changed the Num EDT size from 20 to 30, this EDT is used in InventDIM table which has change tracking enabled in SQL database.

DEVOPS - AX 2012 DB sync error during VSTS build run

-
Image
When running database synchronisation as part of the build process in DEVOPS or through AX directly. If you have any indexes created directly in AX SQL database for performance purposes or other reason, DB sync drops them without issue. In some cases, DB sync fails to drop these indexes with below error. Rename the indexes with out any special characters in the first and last character of the name Re run the db sync Sync finishes and drops indexes. Finding the failed sql statement: On the log of the build step, if you scroll down, you can find the sql statement.  Copy the statement to SSMS and execute to find the error.

Deployment pipeline in AX is always been a challenge. But this has improved a lot over the years with AZURE DEVOPS. This post details how to setup your deployment pipeline using Azure DevOps (Previously VSTS). Using below process, we can build a modelstore for AX 2012 without a local Team foundation server and license cost. Firstly we need a server with windows installed and a working AX environment. Go to  https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ Click on Azure Devops, enter the required details, select Team foundation version control and create a project. Goto Repos and create a new folder to store the code belongs to your custom model To add code to azure repo, go to AX and enable the version control parameters and check in the model to move all the custom code to Azure.
