Greetings All!
It's been a while since I was last here. I was away for a while to meet some personal commitments and also my work life kept me busy.
I would like to share a recent experience where I had to troubleshoot a WSS 3.0 installation where it was using Windows Internal database instead of SQL
I found this technet article helpful to uninstall Windows Internal database

Hope it might help somebody out there!

How to consume ABN (Australian Business Number) or ACN web services from AX 2012 R3
Dear Friends,
Greetings!
Have been super busy with so much to do in so less time!
However, I wanted to take some time and post about my recent experience on how I went integrating ABN Web Service with AX 2012 R3 CU8.
In Australia, we have a concept of ABN and ACN numbers for business registration. ABN is for Australian Business Number and ACN is for Australian Company Number. These registrations are governed by ABR as they are the authority to issue the registration numbers and they maintain this database.
Now, let's get started.
First thing, you would need to go to the ABR site and register to use their webservices.
http://abr.business.gov.au/Webservices.aspx
Once the application is processed which happens within an hour they will e-mail you an authentication GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) which is required to access the ABN Lookup web services. Also with the email, they will send you a pdf which shows you how to access the webservice through various clients like C#, Java, VB6, MS Access etc
Next step, is to open Visual Studio, create a Windows Class Library project and reference the web service. Note, since this is classic web service (.asmx based), so just consume it via the web references node as shown
Web Reference - http://abr.business.gov.au/AbrXmlSearch/AbrXmlSearch.asmx?wsdl
Once this is done, next step is to deploy the Project to AOT (as shown below).
Now, back in AX you should be able to see your deployed project
Now, let's write some code.. Here is a simple job which I have used to pass a valid ACN number and it returns me the organisation name.

Tips AXBuild.exe - A quicker way to compile your AX application
Greetings All!
Lately, I'm using AxBuild.exe to do my compilation and it's really quick. Have now used it several number of times and really impressed with the faster response time compared to traditional way of compiling your code.
Some useful links for AXBuild

In my scenario, I did a build with 12 worker threads and it took me less than 13 minutes to compile the application

Troubleshoot Missing Labels on Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU8 Cloud hosted environment Azure VM
Dear Friends,
Greetings!
I recently provisioned a Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU8 VM (on Azure). All good, however the out of the box SSRS Reports were not showing the labels correctly
To fix the issue, below blog helped me:

To summarize, I did the following steps:
a. Backup the application folder
b. Delete the ald files
c. Delete the auc files
d. Restart AOS
e. Restart SQL Server Reporting Services
