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

Remove duplicate key entry from a table

Sometimes, you can’t synchronize a table because is contains duplicate records. This can occur when you change field lengths on a extended data type for example.

I’ve seen people write huge SQL statements, and even jobs that create these SQL statements to remove these duplicates from a table, but there’s actually a easy way to do this in AX.

Say you have a table KLFTestDuplicates that contains duplicates, then simple run the following job to remove them.

static void KLFRemoveDuplicates(Args _args)
{
Set fieldSet = new set(Types::Integer);

DictIndex dictIndex = new DictIndex(
tablenum(KLFTestDuplicates),
indexnum(KLFTestDuplicates, AUniqueIdx));
int i;
;

if(dictIndex.numberOfFields())
{
for(i=1;i<=dictIndex.numberOfFields();i++)
{
fieldSet.add(dictIndex.field(i));
}

ReleaseUpdateDB::indexAllowDup(dictIndex);

ReleaseUpdateDB::deleteDuplicatesUsingIds(tablenum(KLFTestDuplicates), 0, fieldSet);

ReleaseUpdateDB::indexAllowNoDup(dictIndex);
}

info("done");
}

Remember: this is useful when developing and testing, but it will remove data from you database, so use it with caution.
