WCF and "Error in deserializing body of reply message for operation …" errors

By
These days I had to update a component that is used in Microsoft Dynamic AX. I don’t know to work with AX, but some time ago I had to write a component in C# that calls a WCF service of a 3rd party and is used by an AX application.
The client proxy from C# component was update with the new client proxy; the code was also updated with the new logic. The unit-tests were updated also and we had a full green. Perfect, we send the component to AX team to update the reference to the component.
They come back to us with a big ugly error:
Error in deserializing body of reply message for operation …
WTF, we had the same endpoint. We had a client proxy that works on our unit-tests and a command line test application, but when AX make calls using our component we get this great error message. The oddest thing is that we receive this error even if the message that is returned from the endpoint has only 20 characters. Before updating the AX worked great with our component.
Looking over the internet we found we should need to increase the message size. We increased the size of the message like this: 
<readerQuotas maxDepth="999990" maxStringContentLength="999990" maxArrayLength="999990" 
maxBytesPerRead="999990" maxNameTableCharCount="999990" />
This can be updated from code, if you have a custom binding that is set from code:
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxBytesPerRead = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxDepth = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxNameTableCharCount = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = Int32.MaxValue;
Get what? The problem was solved, everything works as expected. The interesting thing is that even if the message from the servers was very small we still received the error message if we don’t set the reader quotas.
The error was pretty interesting, because we received this even if the message was extremely small.

    Or in other words: 'If nothing else works, get a bigger hammer..' :-)

      It seems that this there is a problem related to this on AX. This is why X++ is not for us :-)

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...
