LAC365FO version 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’s best practice to do a Stylesheet refresh after upgrading LAC365FO 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 LAC365FO version 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 - LAC365FO version 6.18.4.
LAC365FO version 6.18.4 is a patch release for Dynamics D365FO PU58 and ensures compliance between LAC365FO and Dynamics D365FO PU58.
None of the previous versions of LAC365FO (6.18.3 or older) are compatible with PU58 as some files used for Azure have been updated in D365FO 10.0.34 (PU58).
Customers using LAC365FO version 5 or 6.18.3 (or older) would need LAC365FO version 6.18.4 when upgrading to 10.0.34 (PU58).
A few issues that were identified when upgrading from LAC365FO version 5 to LAC365FO version 6 have also been identified and fixed in LAC365FO version 6.18.4.
The main areas of focus in LAC365FO version 6.18.4 are:
· Quality
· Reliability
· Stability
LAC365FO version 6.18.4 is compliant with Dynamics D365 FO 10.0.34 (PU58).
Bug Fixes and enhancements - LAC365FO version 6.18.4
365703@LAC365FO – Import error: Could not import backup from compressed archive (Updating from LAC365FO version 5)
The following error was thrown when importing a backup from LAC365FO version 5 containing a condition into LAC365FO version 6:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Could not import backup from compressed archive.
This has been fixed in LAC365FO version 6.18.4.
366692@LAC365FO - 365440 - Display method EDT>BaseEnum in report throws error
Executing a report containing a method returning an Enum did throw the following error if the Type/Datatype was set to an Enum.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Dynamics.AX.Application.Global.`enum2Symbol(Int32 _id, Int32 _val) at Dynamics.AX.Application.Global.enum2Symbol(Int32 _id, Int32 _val) at Dynamics.AX.Application.LACUtils.`enum2Symbol(Int32 enumId, Object value) in xppSource://Source/Lasernet\AxClass_LACUtils.xpp:line 1028 at Dynamics.AX.Application.LACUtils.enum2Symbol(Int32 enumId, Object value) at
This has been fixed in LAC365FO version 6.18.4 but the work-around was using a String instead of an Enum for the Type/Datatype.
366558LAC365FO - Element with table methods on records without LACTransRefRecId after query conditions can result in an exception.
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.
This could happen in situations like prepayment, FI markups, or when using payment-schedule within the sales-invoicing process.
