Introduction
Microsoft Dynamics® AX for Retail Store Connect is the integrated service that
periodically replicates data between the head office database and store databases, and
between store databases.
Retail Store Connect aggregates data into the fewest packages possible and multicasts
them, updating multiple recipients with information such as price changes while
minimizing network load.
Retail Store Connect runs as a Microsoft® Windows® service that listens for incoming
requests or packages. If the service receives a read instruction, it connects to the source
database, reads data, and stores the data in a data package file. All data transfer requests,
such as requests to send data to a store or upload point of sale (POS) sales transactions,
are initiated by Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail Scheduler, whereas Retail Store Connect
supplies the data transfer mechanism.
A package can contain data from more than one database table. After the requested data
has been read, what happens next depends on how your organization’s Retail Store
Connect instances are configured.
 In a basic configuration, as described in the Retail Deployment Guide: Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Retail Store Connect at the head office takes data
from Microsoft Dynamics AX, creates the data package, and sends it to the store.
Retail Store Connect at the store then inserts the data in the appropriate database.
 In a forwarder configuration, as described in Advanced configuration, later in this
technical reference, Retail Store Connect forwards the package to another instance of
Retail Store Connect. The forwarder configuration is used for load balancing, resulting
in better performance and scalability.
You can also distribute the communication load at the head office by running multiple
head office instances of Retail Store Connect. For more information about this
configuration option, see Advanced configuration, later in this technical reference.
The following table lists the subcomponents of Retail Store Connect.

Subcomponent name Description

Retail Store Connect service Retail Store Connect (DBServer.exe) is the data
replication service. It handles data transfer between
Retail databases at the head office and in the stores.



Subcomponent name Description

Retail Store Connect Settings Retail Store Connect Settings (DBServerUtil.exe) is the
configuration utility for Retail Store Connect. It starts
the Retail Store Connect Settings Wizard, where you
can enter information to configure an instance of the
Retail Store Connect service.

Retail Store Connect Pack Viewer Pack Viewer (DDPackView.exe) is a tool to inspect the
data included in the packages that Retail Store
Connect sends and receives.

Transaction Automation Client The Transaction Automation Client
(TransAutomClient.dll) is a .NET feature that manages
communication between Microsoft Dynamics AX and
the Retail Store Connect service.

Note
TransAutomClient.dll is a prerequisite for
Retail Headquarters. This means that Retail
Store Connect must be installed on all
instances of Application Object Server (AOS)
and on each client computer, even if you do
not intend to use those particular instances
of Retail Store Connect.



Retail Store Connect Settings
Use Retail Store Connect Settings to manage the Retail Store Connect service. This section
describes the settings available in the Retail Store Connect Settings Wizard.
To open the wizard, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 >
Retail Store Connect > Retail Store Connect Settings. The sections that follow describe
the settings available on the wizard pages.

Note
You need administrator privileges to open the Retail Store Connect Settings
wizard.

Register Retail Store Connect service
Use this page of the wizard to create or remove instances of the Retail Store Connect
service. The following table describes the settings that are available.

Setting Description

Server Name The service instance that you are configuring.

Add Create a new instance by using the name entered in the Server Name box.

Remove Delete the instance entered in the Server Name box.

All Servers Display all existing service instances. Select an instance to configure it.

Start Start the selected service instance.

Stop Stop the selected service instance.

Packet Viewer Open Retail Store Connect Pack Viewer. For more information, see Retail
Store Connect Pack Viewer, later in this technical reference.

View license agreement Display the applicable license information.

Important
If you are running more than one Retail Store Connect service on a computer,
select the service instance that you want to configure before you click Next. The
remaining pages of the wizard then apply to the selected instance.



Service properties
Use this page of the wizard to configure the properties of the selected instance of the
Retail Store Connect service. The following table describes the properties that are
displayed.

Property Description

Server Name The name of the previously selected service instance. This is a read-only
field.

Packet Owner The server where packages originate. This setting is available only if 2nd
Stage Retail Store Connect is selected in the Server Mode box.

Server Mode The mode that this instance of Retail Store Connect is running in. If this
instance is a primary instance, select Retail Store Connect. If this instance is
a forwarder instance, select 2nd Stage Retail Store Connect. For more
information about forwarder mode, see Set up a forwarder instance of Retail
Store Connect, later in this technical reference.

Server Port The listening port for Retail Store Connect. This setting is not available for a
Forwarder instance, because in that case, the service only forwards
packages. If you plan to run more than one instance of the service on the
same computer, you must change the port values so that they do not
conflict with other services.

Off Turn the server listening port on or off. (We do not recommend that you
turn the port off.)

Telnet Port The port used by the Retail Store Connect Telnet interface. This feature lets
you use Telnet to monitor the status of Retail Store Connect. If you also run
a Telnet server on the computer, assign the Retail Store Connect Telnet
interface to another port to avoid conflicts.

Retail Store Connect specific properties
Use this page of the wizard to configure the Retail Store Connect connection, and how
incoming and outgoing messages are handled. The following table describes the
properties that are displayed.


Server Name The server instance that you are configuring.




Working Directory The path of the folder where Retail Store Connect keeps temporary files
and, if it is configured to do so, package files. To change this path, click
Browse.

Days Messages Exist The number of days to keep processed incoming or outgoing messages. If
you type a value of 0 in this box, messages will not be deleted.

Timer Interval The interval at which Retail Store Connect checks for packages that must be
reprocessed because of communication errors.

Limit Job Process (cnt) The maximum number of job records that Retail Store Connect processes
per connection. The number should be set lower when the average package
size is high and higher when the average package size is low. To disable the
feature (not recommended), enter a value of 0.
This feature guarantees that Retail Store Connect will continue processing,
even if it has a heavy load that would typically cause it to stop responding.
Also, when this feature is on, if the first job record in the batch has an error,
the rest of the packages are skipped for the run.

Retail Store Connect properties
Use this page of the wizard to configure how connections are handled. The following
table describes the properties that are displayed.



Hold Connections The number of connections to the source database that Retail Store
Connect should reserve.

Idle Conn. Time The number of idle minutes before the reserved connections time out and
are released.

Thread Timeout The number of seconds before threads used in connections to remote
locations time out.

Max. Forw. Threads The maximum number of threads that can be used concurrently to send
packages.

Max Hop Counter The maximum number of transfers, per package, between instances of Retail
Store Connect. This setting prevents infinite loops that can result from a
misconfigured Retail Store Connect instance.




Socket Timeout The number of seconds that Retail Store Connect waits for the network to
finish a particular send or receive operation. To prevent Retail Store Connect
from shutting down merely because it is waiting for the network, set this
value lower than the value in the Thread Timeout box.

Retry interval The interval before a failed connection is retried.

Maximum retries The number of attempts before Retail Store Connect stops trying to perform
an operation on a package.

Forw. Attempts The maximum number of attempts that Retail Store Connect makes to
forward a packet. This setting works only on a forwarder instance.

Use Processor The processor that the service should run on. If you want the operating
system to allocate processors based on need, select All Processors.

Disable IPsec Select this check box to bypass the IPsec requirements of Retail Store
Connect. For more information, see the Retail Deployment Guide: Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012.

Note
If the Disable IPsec check box is selected for a location in Retail
Scheduler, the Disable IPsec check box in Retail Store Connect
Settings should be selected for all instances of Retail Store Connect
involved in communication with that location.

Prefer IPV6 Use the IPv6 communication protocol, if it is enabled.

Server debugging properties
Use this page of the wizard to configure what information is logged for each package,
and how log files are handled. The following table describes the properties that are
displayed.



Keep Package Files When this check box is selected, Retail Store Connect does not delete the
temporary package files in the working directory. Do not leave this feature
enabled for long, because it could cause you to run out of disk space and
prevent Retail Store Connect from operating correctly.




Exception Dump When this check box is selected, a memory dump file is created if Retail
Store Connect stops working suddenly.

Log/Dump Dir The folder where log files are saved. Confirm that the folder that you specify
actually exists.

Log Mode When this check box is selected, Retail Store Connect operations are logged
as specified by the Log Level settings.

Write to Windows event When this check box is selected, Retail Store Connect will write the logging
log data to the Windows event log.

Max Lines / Logfile The maximum number of lines in each log file. Retail Store Connect creates
three log files, rotating to the next log file when the maximum number of
lines has been reached. On startup, Retail Store Connect makes a copy of
the old log files by appending .old to their names. This means that if the
service has been set to automatically restart on failure, the failure appears in
the old log files.

Log Level The amount of error logging that will take place. Generally, Error logging
and Main logging are sufficient, but greater detail might be helpful in some
cases. The following levels are available:
 Error – All errors reported from Retail Store Connect are logged.

 Main – The main operations in Retail Store Connect are logged.

 Actions – Detailed information about operations in Retail Store
Connect is logged.

 Detail – Very detailed information about operations in Retail Store
connect is logged.

 Functions – Highly detailed and technical information about
operations in Retail Store Connect is logged. (This option is intended
for developer use only.)

Important
Logging as specified in the Log Level settings can take place only
if the Log Mode check box is selected.



Retail Store Connect Pack Viewer
Retail Store Connect Pack Viewer is a tool that helps you to examine the data in the
packages that Retail Store Connect sends and receives. A package can contain any of the
following:
 The database query being used
 The data to be inserted
 Both the query and the data
Pack Viewer converts the package file from binary format into XML files that you can
open in Notepad or another text editor. There will be one XML file for the header and
one for each table included in the package. The files are stored in a folder with the same
name as the package.
Package files are available for viewing only if you specify in Retail Store Connect Settings
that they should be saved. Although you can save all packages as a message archive,
doing so can consume disk space quickly. Typically, you save packages and use Pack
Viewer only as a troubleshooting measure, such as when you are experiencing a
synchronization or replication issue.

Save package files for viewing in Pack Viewer
To save and access Retail Store Connect packages, you need to run Retail Store Connect
Settings as an administrator. Select the appropriate instance of Retail Store Connect to
configure, and click through the wizard to apply the following settings:
1. On the Retail Store Connect specific properties page, in the Working Directory
box, type the path of, or browse to, the folder where you want to save the packages.
2. On the Server debugging properties page, select the Keep Package Files check
box, and then click Finish.
For more information, see Retail Store Connect Settings, earlier in this technical reference.

Convert files with Pack Viewer
Use the following procedure to convert files.
1. Open Retail Store Connect Pack Viewer. (Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012 > Retail Store Connect > Retail Store Connect Pack Viewer.)
2. In the File to convert box, type the path and name of, or browse to, the file that you
want to convert.
3. In the Extract to folder box, type the path of, or browse to, the folder that will
contain the generated XML file.



4. If you want the destination folder to open in Windows Explorer when the conversion
is completed, select the Open Folder check box.
5. Click Convert.
6. In Notepad or another text editor, open the destination file.



Advanced configuration
Typically, there is one instance of Retail Store Connect at each store and one at the head office.
For information about typical deployments of Retail Store Connect, see the Retail Deployment
Guide: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
This section describes some alternative deployment options.

Set up a forwarder instance of Retail Store Connect
A second instance of Retail Store Connect operating in forwarder mode can be used to reduce
the processing load on the primary Retail Store Connect server. When your topology includes a
forwarder, data packages are cached in the database and working directory, where they are
picked up by the forwarder and transmitted to their destination. This may be desirable if the
network route to a destination store is slow, or if you want to multicast identical data packages to
several stores, because it does not tie up resources on the primary Retail Store Connect instance.
Forwarder is also known as Second Stage Retail Store Connect.
To use Retail Store Connect in forwarder mode, you must run two instances of Retail Store
Connect at the head office, one as the primary instance and the other as the secondary instance.
Set up the forwarder instance on a separate computer, and confirm that the message database
where the incoming and outgoing message tables are stored is accessible from there. Also
confirm that the working folder is accessible.
The forwarder instance handles communication in only one direction, from the head office to the
store locations.
The name that you assign to the forwarder is the name that you use in the Database profiles
form to indicate which Forwarder should handle a particular location. Use the following
procedure to configure a forwarder instance.
1. Open the Retail Store Connect Profiles form. (Click Retail > Setup > Retail scheduler >
Store integration > Retail Store Connect profiles.)
2. Create a new profile with the Service name value in the following format:
<Forwarder service name>;<receiver service name>
This will cause the forwarder to send packages to the listed receiver location.
3. Open the Database profiles form. (Click Retail > Setup > Retail scheduler > Store
integration > Database profiles.)
4. In the Database profiles form for any store or terminal location, select the newly created
profile on the Retail Store Connect menu.
5. Confirm that the user that the Retail Store Connect service is running as has read/write
permissions to the working directory and its contents.



Run multiple instances of Retail Store Connect
Instead of using a forwarder instance, you can run additional primary instances of Retail Store
Connect as needed at the head office. First, install and configure the new instance of Retail Store
Connect as described in the Retail Deployment Guide: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. When you
configure the new instance, use a different port number, so that there is no conflict between
instances.
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 for Retail lets you create a distribution schedule that associates one
or many locations (distribution location lists) with one or many scheduler jobs. For more
information, see the Retail Scheduler Technical Reference: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.



Monitoring and troubleshooting
This section provides troubleshooting help for potential Retail Store Connect communication
issues. Additional troubleshooting instructions can be found in the following Microsoft Dynamics
AX for Retail documents:
 For information about troubleshooting location connections, see the Retail Deployment
Guide: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
 For information about troubleshooting jobs in Retail Scheduler, see the Retail Scheduler
Technical Reference: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
The following table describes the resources for monitoring Retail Store Connect.

Monitoring tool Description

Retail Store Connect messages Retail Store Connect status and error messages can be viewed in the Retail
Store Connect messages form. To open the form, click Retail > Inquiries >
Retail Store Connect messages.
You can trace the history of a particular message by selecting it and clicking

Troubleshooting tips

Problem Solution

A failed package blocks other packages from being When a package is not processed successfully, its blocked
processed. status can keep other packages from being sent, even after
you have resolved the cause of the error. To resume normal
communications, remove the messages related to the blocked
package from the message database. On the originating
computer, in Microsoft SQL Server® Management Studio,
expand the Databases folder, click the message database, and
then click New Query. In the query pane, type delete from
dbo.IncomingMessages where PackageNo='nnnn' (where
nnnn is the ID number of the failed package), and then click
Execute. Any associated messages in the OutgoingMessages
table will also be deleted.
If Retail Store Connect was configured to upload status
messages to Microsoft Dynamics AX, the error messages can
be viewed in the Retail Store Connect messages form, which
is located at Retail > Inquiries > Retail Store Connect
messages.
Note that messages with errors can be canceled to unblock
other data packages.



Problem Solution

Retail Store Connect at the head office is unable to If a job does not succeed, and no records are affected in the
read results for a query packet. Retail store or POS database, follow these steps to determine
the reason for the failure.
1. Confirm that the request from Retail Scheduler reached
the head office instance of Retail Store Connect.

2. Confirm that the request packet, also referred to as an “I”
file (<Retail Store Connect service name>-<sequential
number>-I.tmp), was created by Retail Store Connect. If
the Keep Package Files check box was selected in Retail
Store Connect Settings, this file will be in the working
directory.

3. Verify that the entry in the incoming message table for
this packet has no errors. If Retail Store Connect is unable
to process a request, it will fail to generate a result packet
(also referred to as an “R” file [<Retail Store Connect
service name>-<sequential number>-R.tmp]), resulting in
an error. The reason for this could be is that .NET Business
Connector is not configured correctly. Run Setup for
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, and install only the .NET
Business Connector. At the completion of this installation,
you are prompted for details about the AOS instance.
Enter the required information, and then restart the Retail
Store Connect computer.

4. .NET Business Connector is required on the head-office
