This content is re-blog of following two posts, through that i got the required info and fixed my issue.
So what is Conflicts ?
If a table ID or field ID is changed in Dynamics AX, data are lost during synchronization, because the table with the old ID (and containing data) is dropped at the beginning and then a new table is created with the same structure but a different ID. The same is valid analogically for table fields.
The data loss can be prevented in several ways (e.g. by data export and re-import), but one solution is really simple and painless. Realize how the situation looks in AX after the ID change (e.g. after installation of a layer with different IDs) but before the database synchronization:
Where Ids are stored in AX ?
You can identify all changed IDs by comparing values in AOT with values in SqlDictionary. And the update of SqlDictionary to the new ID can prevent the regeneration of database objects during synchronization.
ReleaseUpdateDB::changeTableId method is used to updated the SQLDictionary table it takes new and old table id and table name to update the record.
//Updates table ID in SqlDictionary
if (ReleaseUpdateDB::changeTableId(
sqlDictionaryTable.tabId,
dictTable.id(),
dictTable.name()))
{
info(strFmt("Table ID changed (%1 -> %2)", sqlDictionaryTable.tabId, dictTable.id()));
}
Sometime there is also the need of updating the table id and reflect in the metadata.
There is a Table with name “ModelElement” in AX model database. In this table we have few important fields as, it is important for us to understand these fields.
1. ElementType : this field contains type ID of data object like for table fields its value will be 42 and for tables it will be 44.
2. AxId : this field contains actual object ID value which create conflicts among environments. We have to change this field value, e-g for AccountNum field of CustTable it could be as 1.
3. ParentId : this field contains parent object ID, like ID of the table, whose field we are looking at, e-g for AccountNum field of CustTable it could be as 77, which is table ID for CustTable.
I have build this query to check the table ids using sql.
// this query can be used to read the current table id from model db
SELECT ELEMENTHANDLE, ROOTHANDLE, NAME, AXID, ORIGIN FROM MODELELEMENT
JOIN ELEMENTTYPES ON MODELELEMENT.ELEMENTTYPE = ELEMENTTYPES.ELEMENTTYPE
WHERE NAME IN ('legCustTableLegacy', 'legACCCreditLimitLevelLine', 'legAccountsParameterSetup', 'legAXEnums') AND ELEMENTTYPENAME IN ('TABLE')
//This query can update the table id and reflect in meta data.
Update M
SET m.AxId = 105871
FROM MODELELEMENT as M
JOIN ELEMENTTYPES ON M.ELEMENTTYPE = ELEMENTTYPES.ELEMENTTYPE
WHERE NAME IN ('legACCCreditLimitLevelLine') AND ELEMENTTYPENAME IN ('TABLE')
