Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.x is supported with Lasernet version 9 and Lasernet version 10 and a setup for either Lasernet version 9 or Lasernet 10 is required for any new installation and when upgrading from Lasernet 8.

Pre-requisite / Technical

It is best practice to do a Stylesheet refresh after upgrading Lasernet FO Connector as this could help with avoiding the potential issue(s).

Please use the following Register selection-classes located in Lasernet > Setup > Backup parameters > Setup Default Selections in case an error like the following is thrown when using Export, Import or Copy across companies (legal entities).

The newly introduced upgrade framework in Lasernet FO Connector 6.18 should manage but could ’fail’ in a scenario when using a TFS/Dev build as this would require executing Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe.

Error

Please try to run ’Register selection-classes’ before processing

OR

Cannot create a record in Lasernet default export/import selection (LACDefaultSelection). The record already exists.

Patch Release - Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.4

Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.4 is a patch release for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations PU58 and ensures compliance between Lasernet FO Connector and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations PU58.

Customers using Lasernet FO Connector 5 or 6.18.3 (or older) would need Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.4 when upgrading to 10.0.34 (PU58).

A few issues that were identified when upgrading from Lasernet FO Connector 5 to Lasernet FO Connector 6 have also been identified and fixed in Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.4.

The main areas of focus in Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.4 are:

This has been fixed in Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.4.

The following error could get thrown when using a Record-method within another table for which no record exists and if a Query condition was used at the previous element.
