Recently, we made some changes to our Enterprise Portal project in AX. To deploy it, we exported the project, afterwards importing it into the new environment. This is the same procedure we’ve used numerous times before.
This time, however, after the import — no matter how many times we closed our client, restarted the AOS, or refreshed the project tree, loading the project back up did NOT show the changes that were expected from the new project.
It is important to note that the import worked, because new objects were added to the AOT. We tried to rename the project to something like “EPold”, and expected that during the next attempt to import the project again, that a new version called “EP” (the old name) would be created. This never happened.
Now we thought that perhaps there was an ID issue with the project. So we deleted the EPold project (the only remaining copy of this project) and tried importing again. Now we’re left with no remaining projects relating to the EP.
Does anyone have any other ideas or tricks on how to get imported projects to show back up in the Projects Tree?
I cannot comment yet so I will try to be specific.
1) Big imports might need a compilation/sync on the AOT.
2) If you are importing through AOD deployment (yes that means copying the entire layer you are developing into to the other machine) make sure the AOD file has appropriate permissions in the filesystem otherwise AOS won’t see it
3) Try to refresh the AOD file from EP (probably you did when you said “refreshed he project tree” just to make sure)
