System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation D365FO/ AX 7.0

Hi,

I got the below error while validating the DIXF parameters. And also got the same error while trying to upload data.

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->
System.InvalidOperationException: Could not find default endpoint element that references contract
'Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.Tools.DMF.SSISHelperService.Contract.ServiceContract' in the ServiceModel client configuration section.
This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the
client element.

Solution:

Below are the steps to resolve the issue:

Step 1: Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\70\DataImportExportFramework

Open/Edit the below config DMF file in notepad(Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.Tools.DMF.SSISHelperService.exe)

and check base address in the config file and Service account URI(Data Management > Framework parameters > In general tab) are same.

Step 2: Go to J:\AosService\WebRoot\bin

Edit Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.Tools.DMF.ServiceProxy.dll in notepad

and check the endpoints node in the file, it should the same URI as mentioned in the step1.
(Make sure you have access for editing the file)

It should contains 2 endpoints. In my case i had only one end point. So, I added the second one manually.

<endpoint address="http://localhost:7000/DMFService/DMFServiceHelper.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="bascicHttpBindingEndpoint" contract="Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.Tools.DMF.SSISHelperService.Contract.ServiceContract" name="bascicHttpBindingEndpoint" />

 Step 3: Restart the DIXF service (Under services).

Step 4: Reset the IIS(from the command prompt or from inetmgr).

Step 5: After performing above steps, its resolve the issue and able to validate the issue.
