Running batch jobs automatically in Dynamics AX

For learning how to create and launch batch jobs in Dynamics AX, please take a look to all topics in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa549082(AX.10).aspx.

If we want to configure an automatic batch job server, we need to modify the class SysStartupCmdBatchRun, method infoRun, as follows:


void infoRun()
{
batchRun batchRun = new batchRun();
;

batchRun.parmUseForm(true);
batchRun.parmGroupId(parm); // added
batchRun.run();
}

And for a batch group named "myGroup" for example, we can use the Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration Utility to specify the "Command to run at application startup:" as Batch_myGroup. This enable the AX client to run every batch job in this group.



We can also use the command line as {path}\ax32.exe startupcmd=batch_myGroup.

What does this mean: "The form datasource query object does not support changing its AllowCrossCompany property after the form has executed the query."?

I have made a form with datasources vendtable and vendtrans. Inside vendtable_ds.executequery() looks like this: QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDatasource ,queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice; ; queryBuildDatasource = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtable)); queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtrans)); if (curext() == "MASTERCOMP") { this.query().allowCrossCompany(true); } else { this.query().allowCrossCompany(false); } //FilterVendorName = stringedit control on form if (FilterVendorName.text()) { queryBuildDatasource.addRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)).value(strfmt("*%1*", FilterVendorName.text())); } else { queryBuildDatasource.clearRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)); } //FilterInvoiceNumber = stringedit control on form if (FilterInvoiceNumber.valueStr() == "") { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(false); } else { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(true); queryBDS_VendTrans_In...
