D365 : An internal error occurred while connecting to the development environment in cloud remotely

I was getting the below error while trying to connect to my clud hosted DEV environment. 

An internal error has occurred 

Reason: Usually we see this problem when our laptop/system network drives updated.

Solution:

-> Stop and start your dev environment from LCS page.

-> Restart your laptop/computer and make sure the Microsoft updates installed successfully.

-> Restart your wifi/internet as well.

Remove diacritics (accents) from a strings in AX/D365 X++

There will be some cases where you need to remove accents from the strings before you post the data to endpoints/API's. Otherwise they may reject during the process.

I found the below post what exactly I was looking for. I was posting the 3PL information to the warehouse endpoint and they were rejecting the files where there were some accents in the addresses/delivery names.

The below code helped me to solve the problem. Please change the code according to your requirement.

static void AlexRemoveDiacritics(Args _args)
{
    str strInput = 'ÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉàáâãäåèéêëìíîïòóôõ£ALEX';
    System.String input = strInput;
    str retVal;
    int i;

    System.Char c;
    System.Text.NormalizationForm FormD = System.Text.NormalizationForm::FormD;
    str normalizedString = input.Normalize(FormD);
    System.Text.StringBuilder stringBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

    for (i = 1; i <= strLen(normalizedString); i++)
    {
        c = System.Char::Parse(subStr(normalizedString, i, 1));

        if (System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo::GetUnicodeCategory(c) != System.Globalization.UnicodeCategory::NonSpacingMark)
        {
            stringBuilder.Append(c);
        }
    }

    input = stringBuilder.ToString();
    input = input.Normalize();
    retVal = input;

    retVal = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex::Replace(retVal, @"[^\w\.@-]", " ");// This

// will remove any non-printable ASCII characters from a string

    info(strFmt("Before: '%1'", strInput));
    info(strFmt("After: '%1'", retVal));
}

I was getting the below error while trying to post a payment journal in Accounts Payable.

Due to that I was getting the error.

Mark the invoices with $4,500 and post the payment journal.

Post the payment journal and later settle the invoice with payment.

A reference to 'Dynamics.AX.FinanceInsightsContracts, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is required to compile this module in Dynamics 35 F&O

I was getting the below error after upgraded my build server to 10.0.8 (PL32) version and trying to build a new deployable package.

dynamics://Table/AVA_MiscChrgTransTable/Method/`insertCustInvoiceData(105,5) - A reference to 'Dynamics.AX.FinanceInsightsContracts, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is required to compile this module


##[error]C:\DynamicsSDK\Metadata\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Application.Build.targets(40,5): Error : Error: dynamics://Table/AVA_MiscChrgTransTable/Method/`insertCustInvoiceData(105,5) - A reference to 'Dynamics.AX.FinanceInsightsContracts, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is required to compile this module.

Reason: In 10.0.8 version Microsoft added a new package "FinanceInsightsContracts" and my custom model is missing the new package reference.

Solution: Need to update the custom model with "FinanceInsightsContracts" using "Update model parameters" and checkin the code into the VSTS. And, kick off the new build.
