Error and Performance Troubleshooting Checklist
Description
You get a runtime error on mobile related to Business Central or experience bad performance.
Checklist
Step 1: Is it a known error message?
See Error Messages
Step 2: Inspect the Callstack and "Mobile Document Queue"
See View Request and Response XML and Error Call Stack
The call stack points to the code where the Error happens.
This code is not necessarily the source of the error - but it is still valuable information that we need to know.
The call stack is included in the XML Response.
Note: Tasklet support might also be able to see a limited Callstack using "Telemetry".
Step 3: Has the system been updated lately?
Have you changed setup data?
Have you changed extension code?
Has Mobile WMS extension been updated?
Has the area been changed in recent releases? See Release Notes (Business Central)
Has Business Central been updated?
Search BC Release Notes for the error message
Step 4.1: Identify and Uninstall third-party extensions including Partner customization
Partners extend Mobile WMS with their code. Do you have other extensions installed?
Try uninstalling them temporarily.
Consider doing this in a sandbox (step 6) to avoid disrupting the business.
Go to: Extension Management
Select an extension
Select the three dots
Select Uninstall
Does the issue change?
Step 4.2: Use "Code Coverage" to identify Partner customization
Go to the "Code Coverage" -page.
Select "Start"
Provoke the Error/Issue
Select "Stop"
Inspect the result for non-base object IDs e.g. 50100
Note: Mobile WMS objects are numbered 6181000-6182250, so ignore them
Step 4.3: Use "Event Subscriptions" to identify Partner customization
Go to the "Event Subscriptions" by adding ?page=9510 to your URL.
Example:
https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/TenantID/SandboxOrProd/?page=9510
Example with filters:
https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/TenantID/SandboxOrProd/?page=9510&filter='Publisher Object ID' IS '6181000..6182250' AND 'Subscriber Codeunit ID' IS '<6181000|>6182250'
This only shows subscribers to Mobile WMS.
Remove the filter to view subscribers to standard posting events or database triggers.
Step 5: Do you have the correct User Permissions?
Step 6: Is it isolated to one order or any order?
Is it a single document that cannot be processed?
Can you reproduce the issue by creating new documents? (Using a sandbox, step 3)
Step 7: Reproduce the issue in a "Sandbox" (copy of the production)
With a sandbox you can:
Avoid disrupting the customer's business
Change data to check whether the issue changes
Disable/Enable extensions and check if issue changes
Debug code Debugging
Step 8: Troubleshoot perfomance using Profiler
See Performance Profiler (AL Profiler)
Also, when dealing with slow performance on BC Online, consider raising a Support Case with Microsoft, directly from Business Central.
