Hi, In my previous post, I have discussed about the details of downloading data from Head Office to Retail Store. Today, let’s discuss the process of synchronizing transactions from Retail Stores to Head Office. In a hindsight, the Async Client service in store is responsible in creating the RPF files and saving it in the Upload File Path Working folder . The RPF files of the retail transactions are created every interval as specified in the Async Client Configuration . Running the P-Job is unnecessary to create the RPF files, what we need is a secure connection between Async Client and Async Server every upload interval. Basically, the P-Job is for importing the transactions from the Upload Working Folder to Dynamics AX. So how does the Async Client know which record to include in every creation of RPF files? In AX 2012 R3, the Channel Database is maintaining the table called crt.TABLEREPLICATIONLOG . This table contains the following field: FIEL...

In Dynamics AX 2012, we have this concept of pushing and pulling the data for Retail between Head Office and Store. The data is written in XML form, compressed into an rpf file then saved to a working folder.  These rpf files or data packages can be opened using DDPackView.exe which is available if you install Async Server (Head Office) or Async Client (Store). You may find it in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\CDX\Async Server\Package If you execute it from here, you will need to specify the actual rpf file you want to check and click Convert . You might encounter an error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Retail.StoreConnect.RequestHandlerManager, Version=6.3.0.0, Cuture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxx or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Usually, I just copy the following in the same folder of DDPackView: DDPackView.exe.config Microsoft.Dynamics.Retail.EventTraceProvider.dll Microsoft...
