WCF settings error on new AX 2012 AOS installation

It is quite common to have a few different instance installed at Development machine. Sometimes developer make a duplicate copy of client's LIVE environment just to test out some hotfix. Below is one of the scenario which cause the error - "The specified client configuration does not contain valid WCF settings".

1. Backup an AX 2012 database
2. Restore as another database name
3. Install a new AOS instance at another machine
4. Configure this new AOS to point to the database restored at Step #2
5. Start up AOS and login to AX
6. The error "The specified client configuration does not contain valid WCF settings" pops up

Trying to create sales order will throw error (so does a lot of other functionality).

*During the creation of this new instance, the CIL is not recompile

To fix this:

1. Run a Full CIL generation
2. On the AX Client Configuration Utility, update the config using Configure Services

Turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults for service error in Dynamics AX

Just a quick post regarding turning on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults for service error in Dynamics AX 2012. I'm using SOAPUI for the services testing and hit an error as below.

Error (before turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults)
The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error.  For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.


Turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults

Identify the service you're testing, then go to the path below (replace the <ServiceName> with the service name).

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\AifWebServices\<ServiceName>\web.config

*If you installation is not at the default location, you'll have to change the path to your installation path

Open the file and search for the text 'includeExceptionDetailInFaults', then set it to true.
