Unable to find w3wp process for debugging in Visual studio

Today, I will be discussing about one of the common issue which i faced while attaching the process for debugging in visual studio for D365 F&O project.

I was quite usual that i was unable to find out w3wp.exe process on Attach process screen in visual studio for debugging. Even though VS was running as administrator and i have marked the check box of show all process.

So, this issue usually occurs because when you install  the visual studio then IIS express is the default web server for web applications projects. That's why you visual studio is not using local IIS for running local applications instead of this it is using IIS express.

Workaround for it : Attach iisexpress.exe process instead of w3wp.exe. 

Adding a dataset lookup on purchase requisition form in EP

Today, I will be discussing about one of the issue which  any one has encountered while adding a lookup on data set and it is not visible in EP specially on Purchase Requisition details form. So I will be sharing here the code snippet which can used to show that data set lookup for any field.

void dataSetLookup(SysDataSetLookup _sysDataSetLookup)
{
     Query      query;
     TableId    lookupTableNum;

     lookuptablenum = tableNum(PurchReqTable);

    _sysDataSetLookup.parmLookupFields(new List(Types::String));
    _sysDataSetLookup.parmLookupFields().addEnd(fieldStr(PurchReqTable,PurchReqId));
    _sysDataSetLookup.parmLookupFields().addEnd(fieldStr(PurchReqTable,TestField1));
    _sysDataSetLookup.parmLookupFields().addEnd(fieldStr(PurchReqTable,PurchReqId));
    _sysDataSetLookup.parmLookupFields().addEnd(fieldStr(PurchReqTable,Originator));
    _sysDataSetLookup.parmSelectField(fieldStr(PurchReqTable,TestField1));

    query = new Query(queryStr (PurchReqTableListPage));
    query.dataSourceNo(1).addRange(fieldNum(PurchReqTable,TestField1type)).value(enum2str(RequisitionType::Type1));
    query.dataSourceNo(1).addRange(fieldNum(PurchReqTable,RequisitionStatus)).value(enum2str(PurchReqRequisitionStatus::Approved));
    query.dataSourceNo(1).addRange(fieldNum(PurchReqTable,BlanketOnHold)).value(enum2str(NoYes::no));

    query.allowCrossCompany(true);

    _sysDataSetLookup.parmQuery(query);
    _sysDataSetLookup.parmDataSet(SysDataSetBuilder::constructLookupDataSet(lookupTableNum).toDataSet());
}

Note : This construct method is quite helpful in showing lookup

Today I will be discussing about one of the common issue which you might face while building the custom model.

Below is the detail description of that issue:

A reference to 'Dynamics.AX.SourceDocumentation, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is required to compile this module.

Root cause : One of reference module is missing from your custom model.

Solution : You need to update the model by using the model parameter wizard,. Go to Dynamics 365 -> Model management -> Update model parameters -> Select your model -> Check mark the  source documentation module as reference.
