Steps: 1) Create a AOT Query Object as your requirement. 2) Create a Job and paste the below code to check the Query Object. static void ExecuteAOTQuery(Args _args) { QueryRun queryRun; Counter totalRecords; ; queryRun = new QueryRun(queryStr(CreatedAOTQueryName)); if (queryRun.prompt()) { while (queryRun.next()) { totalRecords++; } } info(strFmt(“Total Records : %1”, totalRecords)); }

Here i written the code to use the Aggregate functions and Joins in Dynamic Query in spite of using normal Select statement in Ax 2009 Normal Select Statement: while select sum(qty) from inventTrans where inventTrans.ItemId ==“OL-2500” join inventDimgroup by inventBatchId where inventDim.InventDimId == inventTrans.InventDimId { // Our Code Here } Dynamic Query: static void Vasanth_Query_Eg1(Args _args) { Query query; QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDataSource; QueryBuildRange queryBuildRange; QueryRun queryRun; Qty total; InventTrans inventTrans; ; query = new Query(); queryBuildDataSource = query.addDataSource(tableNum(InventTrans)); queryBuildDataSource.addSelectionField(fieldNum(InventTrans,Qty),SelectionField::Sum); queryBuildDataSource.orderMode(OrderMode::GroupBy); queryBuildRange = queryBuildDataSource.addRange(fieldNum(InventTrans,ItemId)); queryBuildDataSource = queryBuildDataSource.a...

Here i posted a small job , to explain how we use regular expressin in Axapta. Try it. static void RegularExpression_Test() { int nameLength,myStringLength; str myname = “Vasanth”; str myString = “1234″; str formatString , formatString1; System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regEx; System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regEx1; System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match regMatch; InteropPermission permission = new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop); boolean retVal, retVal1; ; nameLength = strLen(myname); myStringLength = strLen(myString); formatString = strfmt(@”^[0-9]{%1}”, myStringLength); formatString1 = strfmt(@”^[a-zA-Z ]{%1}”, nameLength); permission.assert(); //BP Deviation documented regEx = new System.Text.RegularExpression.Regex(formatString); regEx1 = new System.Text.RegularExpression.Regex(formatString1); regMatch = regEx.Match(myString); retVal = regMatch.get_Success(); print retVal; // Returns True; regMatch = regEx1.Match(myname); retVal1 = re...

We all know about “Go To Main Table” Option in our Axapta Forms and Tables. Here I wrote one sample for how to get that functionality in our forms or table. This is done by three ways: 1) By EDT Relations 2) By using JumpRef method 3) By using FormRef property in Table EDT Relations: If you use an EDT in tables which have relation with some other table fileds, that time you can able to navigate the main table or main form. FormRef Property: Select the Table and go to properties and select the required form in the FormRef property. JumpRef method: If you are not having that option, simply write a override the JumpRef method in a field of DataSource or in a Form Control. Here i show you a sample jumpRef method code: public void jumpRef() { Args args; MenuFunction menuFunction; ; args = new Args(); menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemDisplayStr(“FormName”), MenuItemType::Display); args = new Args(menuFunction.object()); args.caller(element); args.recor...

Here a sample code to pass argument to one form to another form and using of Args() class. Steps: 1) Create two Forms named FormA and FormB 2)Use the EmplTable as the Datasource of both forms 3)Design FormA with one Grid and add 4 data fields to the Grid(EmplId,DEL_Name,Grade,EmplStatus…..) 4)Assign the datasource for the grid and the data fields 5)Add a Button in FormA 6)Override the Clicked() method and write the below code: void Clicked() { Args _args; FormRun _formRun; EmplId _empId; ; _empId = EmplTable.EmplId; // Selected employee id in the Grid is assigned to the variable which is pass to the next form _args = new Args(); // creating a object for args class _args.name(formstr(VA_FormB)); // Form Menuitem _args.caller(this); // Form Caller(Current Form is mentioned as this) _args.parm(_empId); // Employee Number is passed to next form[but parm() is not a best practise] _args.record(EmplTable); // Table name is passed _formRun = ClassFactory.formRunClass(_args); //ne...

Axapta uses quite a number of file extensions for the files that are installed as part of Axapta. Even though at first sight, people will be bewildered with these te(o)ns acronyms/extensions, it follows a very good naming convention and once it’s understood, it is very easy to follow these file names and extensions. First Letter: owner of file: A Application K Kernel Second Letter: contents of file: L Label O Object (as is AOT) T Text (only TKD) D Developer Documentation H Online Help Third Letter: Type of file. D Data I Index C Cache T Temporary So a file with extension .ald is ApplicationLabelData file. Thanks to Michael Fruergaard Pontoppidan (who came out this table) and Tao Wang (who provided this info to me)

I figured out a sligtly different solution that works. On the Button Clicked method: void clicked() { Args args = new args(); ReportRun reportRun; ; args.parm(SMAServiceOrderTable.ServiceOrderId); args.name(reportstr(GAB_ServiceOrder_NO)); reportRun = classFactory.reportRunClass(args); reportRun.init(); reportrun.run(); super(); } And then on the init method on the report; public void init() { ; try { if(element.args().parm()) { this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(SMAServiceOrderTable)) .addRange(fieldnum(SMAServiceOrderTable,ServiceOrderID)).value(element.args().parm()); this.query().userUpdate(false); this.query().interactive(false); super(); } } catch(exception::Error) { info("Error in init method"); } }

In the user control code behing add an event handler to the CreatingDataSetRun event on the AxDataSource control protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.AxDataSource1.CreatingDataSetRun += new EventHandler (AxDataSource1_CreatingDataSetRun); } Set the param value to the event arugments void AxDataSource1_CreatingDataSetRun(object sender, CreatingDataSetRunEventArgs e) { e.DataSetRunArgs.parm = "4000"; } In AOT override or add method in the data set and use element.args().parm() to received the paramter public void executeQuery() { QueryBuildRange custRange; ; custRange = SysQuery::findOrCreateRange(this.query().dataSourceNo(1), fieldnum(CustTable, AccountNum)); custRange.value(element.args().parm()); super(); } You can also pass an Enum. For example void AxDataSource1_CreatingDataSetRun(object sender, CreatingDataSetRunEventArgs e) { e.DataSetRunArgs.parmEnumType = EnumMetadata.EnumNum(this.AxSession, "EPFo...

You can create threads in X++ to perform tasks in the background. Here is a vey simple class that demonstrates the basics. class ThreadDemo { static server void main() { Thread t; ; new ExecutePermission().assert(); //BP Deviation Documented t = new Thread(); t.run(classnum(ThreadDemo), staticmethodstr(ThreadDemo, run)); } static server void run(Thread t) { AsciiIo ai; // Change this to some path that your server will have access to str fileName = '\\t\\HelloWorld.txt'; ; sleep(5000); new FileIOPermission(fileName, 'w').assert(); //BP Deviation Documented ai = new AsciiIo(fileName, 'w'); ai.write('Hello World!'); } } I use the directory d:\t for temporary files. You will have to either create the directory or change the example to point to some other directory. In either case make sure that SYSTEM has ...

When looking through Axapta code you will see a lot of references to the type Args. This type is used as a general method for sharing construction parameters. It works well because in the Axapta usage pattern because 1.the typical number of parameters is small 2.the types of parameters used is very similar 3.construction of the main objects often entails constructing multiple collaborating objects that need access to the same shared constructor arguments. In traditional OO code each object will have one or more constructors. These constructors would have different numbers of arguments and types, as required. For example, a class representing a form might have a default constructor that would simply show all the items in the table. It could also have a constructor that accepted a string that was used to highlight the row with a matching primary key, newSelect(str key). Or one that filtered all the values to match the provided range, newMinMax(str smin, str smax). Side note:...

Like most development environments, MorphX features a debugger. The debugger is a stand-alone application, not part of the Dynamics AX shell like the rest of the tools . As a stand-alone application, the debugger allows you to debug X++ in any of the Dynamics AX components in the following list:• Microsoft Dynamics AX client • Application Object Server (AOS) • Enterprise Portal • Business Connector Using the Debugger For the debugger to start, a breakpoint must be hit during execution of X++ code. You set breakpoints by using the X++ code editor in the Microsoft Dynamics AX client. The debugger starts automatically when any component hits a breakpoint. You must enable debugging for each component as follows: • In the Microsoft Dynamics AX client, click the Microsoft Dynamics AX drop-down menu, point to Tools and then Options. On the Development tab, select When Breakpoint in the Debug Mode list. • For the AOS, open the Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration utility under Start\Admi...

Use the curExt() function to get the active company in AX; static void curExtExample(Args _arg) { str CompanyId; ; CompanyId = curExt(); Info(CompanyId); } You would also use the following with the same results. However, the above is much more elegant. static void curExtExample(Args _arg) { str CompanyId; ; CompanyId = CompanyInfo::Find().DataAreaId; Info(CompanyId); } Take Care!

Sometimes we need to loop through values at the form level. The following code loops (for loop) the SalesParmTable in the CloseOk() Form method.                 //Create Lines         for (localSalesParmTable = salesParmTable_ds.getFirst();               localSalesParmTable;               localSalesParmTable = salesParmTable_ds.getNext())         {               ....Implementation....         }

When working with Workflows, sometimes  have encountered a situation where my workflow item just don't run. This might be due to a problem on the Batch Server. To test (run) the workflow mimicking the batch server we can write the following job. static void workflowJobs(Args _args) {     SysWorkflowMessageQueueManager  queueManager;     WorkflowWorkItemDueDateJob      workItemDueDateJob;     ;     queueManager = SysWorkflowMessageQueueManager::construct();     queueManager.run();     workItemDueDateJob = new WorkflowWorkItemDueDateJob();     workItemDueDateJob.run(); } Another alternative is to go to AOT > Forms > Tutorial_WorkflowProcessor and click the start button.

The following code saves an Axapta report to a PDF file. This is the first article of 3. The next article will show how to save the file into a network share and pass a Sales Order dynamically, and the last part will be about attaching the PDF to an Outlook instance and create a dynamic subject. So, the titles of the three articles will be the same foe exception of the text in parenthesis. In my case, I'm having a lot of problems saving the file to a network file and then to attach it to Outlook. The code below saves the report to a local palce in your computer. static void Job10(Args _args) {    custConfirmJour     custInvoiceJour;   SalesFormLetter     salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Confirmation,  false);    PrintJobSettings    printJobSettings = new PrintJobSettings();    Args              ...

I was faced with a requirement that I needed to set a date value to a custom date Filed in AX 2009 with X++, with the Purch Order Creation Date. I knew that the following could work: ... FormControl control; ; control = element.design().controlName('PurchTable_OrderDate')); control.Text = DateTimeUtil::ToStr(purchTable_ds.Object(fieldnum(PurchTable, CretationDateTime); ... However, I wanted to create a solution that would not be so dependant on the Form object as this can bring headaches when upgrading. Therefore, I decided to do it at the data source level as follow: purchTable_ds.object(fieldnum(PurchTable, OrderDate)).setValue(DateTimeUtil::date(purchTable.createdDateTime)); The above code is far more efficient and it needs to be set either in the Data Source (PurchTable) of the PurchTable form Init() or Active() method.

The changeCompany statement is used to alter the database settings to another (separate) company. The syntax of the statement is: changeCompany ( Expression ) Statement Here is the code static void main() { CustTable custTable; ; // Assume that you are running in company ‘aaa’. changeCompany(‘bbb’) // Default company is now ‘bbb’. { custTable = null; while select custTable { // custTable is now selected in company ‘bbb’. } } // Default company is again set back to ‘aaa’. changeCompany(‘ccc’) // Default company is now ‘ccc’. { // Clear custTable to let the select work // on the new default company. custTable = null; while select custTable { // custTable is now selected in company ‘ccc’. } } // Default company is again ‘aaa’. }
