[AX2012 UTILS] It's all about scripting ... Data Dictionary Synchronize

 Hi.

 Today's dilemma: running the Data Dictionary SYNC task using the start-up command in AX.
 

 The code is coming from a greater script:

 $params = "`"" + $AXCONFIGPATH_DEFINE + "`" -lazyclassloading -lazytableloading -minimize -model=" + ($MODELTOBUILD_DEFINE)

 Write-Host "Synchronizing database; started: " $date
 $date = Get-Date

 $axProcess = Start-Process -PassThru ($axClientPath_DEFINE + "`\Ax32.exe") -WindowStyle minimized -ArgumentList ($params + " -StartupCmd=Synchronize")
 if ($axProcess.WaitForExit($AXSYNCTIMEOUT_DEFINE) -eq $false)
 {
    Throw ("Error: Synchronize did not complete ok")
 }

 So the idea is that you should have a sync'ed data dictionary at the end of the process.
 This is not the case if  you ran into sync Errors ...

 You (can) / should also try to add

 $params = "`"" + $AXCONFIGPATH_DEFINE + "`" -lazyclassloading -lazytableloading -minimize -model=" + ($MODELTOBUILD_DEFINE) + " -internal=NoModalBoxes"


 The way it worked for me was, that even if it didn't prompted for the sync window, it still gave a blocking infolog window at the end of the process.


 And as a result of that, yes, the process will time-out with no telling what happen ... What to do in this case? Not sure yet, still researching ...
