Description:

While inserting a Distribution package job like 1010 into the Channel database following message appears and the operation stops.

Full error message:

Microsoft.Dynamics.Retail.StoreConnect.Request.SQLHandler.ProcessSourceRequestHeaderException:
ProcessTargetRequestHeader failed due to an InvalidOperationException.

   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

How to troubleshoot the issue:

The message “String and Binary data would betruncated”, means that the data length of a string is longer than accepted
by the field.

Validate which field is longer than accepted by

• 
  Copy your Channel database to the same server as your AX database
• 
  Change the AX database name in the script attached
• 
  Open a new Query on the Channel database and execute the statement

Result:

The result shows us that the Dirparytable NameAlias has a record that is 45
characters in length in the AX database, but only 20 characters are allowed in
the channel database.

The solution:

• 
  You can change the schema in the channel database to accept the needed input
  • 
    Retail SDK/CreateDatabase.dll if done correctly
  • 
    Or you can rename the value in AX to only have 20 characters
