SQLDictionary synchronization problem

Today, the following message popped up when synchronizing the Data Dictonary (Dutch):

Kan meerdere records in Table list (SqlDictionary) niet toevoegen. Tabel: 118, 4.
De SQL-database heeft een fout gegenereerd:

It roughly translates to:

Cannot insert multiple records in Table list (SQLDictionary). Tabel 118, 4. The SQL-Database has issued an error:

Thanks to my colleague Kenny, we quickly figured out that the problem was that the disk was full on the SQL server where the data and log files were stored. SQL server also logged an error in the event viewer on the SQL server saying that the disk was full.

Lessons learned:

Errors in AX don’t always point in the right direction
Check the event viewer on your servers
Be carefull with low disk space

Writing in the event log from Dynamics AX

Writing to the event log in Windows using AX is very easy when you use the EventLog class from the System.Diagnostics namespace. The following job demonstrates how to use the EventLog class.

static void EventViewer(Args _args)
{
System.Diagnostics.EventLog eventlog;
#Define.LogSource("Dynamics AX")
#Define.LogName("Dynamics AX Log")

;
// check if the log already exists
if(!System.Diagnostics.EventLog::SourceExists(#LogSource))
{
// create new log
System.Diagnostics.EventLog::CreateEventSource(#LogSource, #LogName);
}

eventlog = new System.Diagnostics.EventLog();
eventlog.set_Source(#LogSource);

// write info entry
eventlog.WriteEntry("Just writing in the event viewer.");
// write error entry
eventlog.WriteEntry("Error! Please check the stack trace below. \n\n" +
con2str(xSession::xppCallStack()), System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType::Error);
// write warning entry
eventlog.WriteEntry("Job finished." , System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType::Warning);

info("Check the event viewer!");
}

A possible use for this is when monitoring batch jobs.
Tested using AX 2009, XP Pro.
