Pre-requisite /   Technical

We recommend making a Stylesheet refresh after upgrading Lasernet FO Connector as this could help avoid potential issue(s).

Please also use the following Register selection classes located in Lasernet > Setup > Backup parameters > Setup Default Selections in case an error such as the following is thrown when using Export, Import or Copy across companies (legal entities).

The newly introduced upgrade framework in Lasernet FO Connector 6.17 should manage but could ’fail’ in a scenario when using a TFS/Dev build as this would require executing Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe.

Major enhancements – Lasernet FO Connector 6.17.2.

Lasernet FO Connector 6.17.2 only contains fixes and enhancements for Lasernet FO Connector and does not contain any major enhancements.

The main focus in Lasernet FO Connector 6.17.2:

  • Stability/Quality update for Lasernet FO Connector

The Flush/clear of cache in Lasernet FO Connector and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations located within the Lasernet > Parameters > General and are now split into two parts

  • Clear Lasernet cache 

Would only flush/clear cache for Lasernet FO Connector.

  • Clear cache 

Flush/clear all caches in standard Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. Using Clear cache can impact and stop existing user sessions.

Issue with using Lasernet Original Preview and Lasernet Copy Preview

Resending a document did not always respect Lasernet Copy preview (similar to Copy preview in standard) and could show the original document from the Archive and not the copy. This is fixed.

Query Report run in batch - Object reference not set error. argsCache not initialised

Error with batch jobs with Lasernet FO Connector 6.17

The following error was thrown in Lasernet FO Connector 6.17 and 6.17.1 when executing a brand new Query report within a batch task:

"Batch task failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Everything would work as expected when executing a SSRS-report or when executing a replacement report (Query) for SSRS.

This is fixed.

Context method added in wizard has wrong ReportElement selected, which leads into wrong XML element name in some cases

Using multiple context methods would in some situations re-use the same element name. The issue was caused when adding different context methods within the Query Wizard.

Only an issue when using Lasernet FO Connector 6.17 and 6.17.1 and is fixed in Lasernet FO Connector 6.17.2.

Adding different context methods within the Query Wizard:

Context code used within the Query Wizard:


Output when using Lasertner FO Connector 6.17.2

Proper value for the Element_location – Method1 and Method2 are properly added for the value:

Output when using Lasernet FO Connector 6.17 and 6.17.1

Wrong value as Method1 was added for both context methods.


Open Query wizard text is incorrect when using language nl -  Dutch language

The help text when opening the Query wizard was incorrect when the client language was set to nl (Dutch).

Lasernet FO Connector 6.17.2:


BankPaymAdviceVendV2 - Print buttons + report Dialog options

TMSCommercialInvoice - destination selected in 'Always show dialog' dialog is ignored

In standard D365FO, The following reports do not respect the selected destination/printer-setting within the printer-dialog:

·TMSCertificateOfOrigin

·TMSCommercialInvoice

·TMSLoadTender

·TMSRoute

·BankPaymAdviceVendV2

·BankPaymAdviceCustV2

Lasernet FO Connector 6.17.2 contains an option to enable a fix for each of the reports which will ensure the report(s) respect the selected printer setting/destination within the dialog.

Enabling the fix for the report(s) is located in System administration > Setup > Hotfixes from Lasernet.


Running a report such as the Commercial Invoice (TMSCommercialInvoice) did not respect the selected destination unless activating/enabling the corresponding hotfix.

The TMSCommercialInvoice always uses print management.

Showing the dialog for the Report TMSCommercialInvoice also requires the Always show dialog to be selected within the Dialog options for the report

Clear cache (Lasernet > Parameters > General)

The cache is split into two parts.

Clear Lasernet cache was previously part of the Clear cache which could end other user sessions.

 

Clear Lasernet cache

Using Clear Lasernet cache will flush/clear the cache in relation to Lasernet FO Connector. 

Clear entire cache

Clearing entire cache can impact users' sessions and a prompt such as the following is shown as a warning:
