Scheduling a Batch Job through code, Batch Multithreading and creating batch tasks at run time

Last few days, I was bit busy exploring and experimenting with Batch  Jobs and multithreading as we need to load balance these jobs on our 6 AOS Servers to get the maximum performance out of them

Thought to share the following links available on msdn and Klaas blog.

Troubleshooting Dynamics AX 2009 EP Thread abort Exception Error

Issue:
We had this problem where all of a sudden some of the EP Users were not able to navigate through the EP pages.


Below is the snapshot of the error which comes up in the EP Page. Sharepoint as usual doesn't show informative/descriptive errors and it's quite difficult to debug sharepoint pages, so my next bet was to look into Event Viewer to get a more detailed description of the error.








Event Viewer Log:

Resolution


Fristly, I googled to see if somebody else has experienced similar error, found this link

it's the same issue but there's no solution.

I tried IISreset from the EP server but that didn't help. Opened AX and deleted the user cache but still this didn't help, finally had to delete and recreate the user to solve the problem, We are on the latest service pack and rollup 6 for Dynamics AX 2009 so I'm not sure if this is a bug which would be addressed in the future.
