Error while creating custom workflow

Problem: One of my colleague recently created a custom workflow (which is not shipped out of the box). he followed the step by step process to create the workflow. when he tries to run the workflow configuration he got the following error.

An unexpected error has occurred while opening the workflow. See the event log on the AOS and contact your system administrator to resolve the issue.

Resolution: ITs a simple resolution, just generate the CIL it will resolve the issue.



The above code requires the CIL for the classes we created.

While you creating the workflow wizard it will warn you for CIL compilation. As you have noticed you will not run into this issue.

Installation of Visual Studio tools on Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU9



Its been a long time that i have written my last post. I was tied up with some work.

Problem: I was trying to install visual studio tools on Dynamics AX R3 CU9 version. But i was keep getting an error that "Installation package missing".

Solution: I was aware of the compatibility that CU9 works with VS 2013 Update 2 and above but my AX installer package keep giving me a error. So i got to know that VS tools for CU9 missing from my installer package. 

What it means that my installation folder doesnt contain the necessary VS tool files to install it. I downloaded CU9 slipstream file and copy the  folders to my installation folder then no longer i am seeing the error, I am able to install the VS tools. Following link helped me on the process. I hope you find this useful
