Rename a Primary Key in AX through code

In this post, I am going to discuss about how to rename a primary key in AX. The renaming can be done for any record using the CCPrimaryKey Class. Let us suppose, if Customer Id 1000 has to be renamed as Cust_1000 then it will be renamed in all the tables(SalesTable, CustTable, SalesQuotationTable etc.,) wherever this cutomer Id has been used. The generic way to rename a primary key for any table is as follows:
 
Send a record to this method as a parameter.

void renamePrimaryKey(Common _common)
{
Common  common;
FieldId fieldId;
DictTable dictTable;
DictField  dictField;
;

common = _common;

dictTable = new SysDictTable(common.TableId);
dictField = new SysDictField(dictTable.id(), dictTable.primaryKeyField());

if (isConfigurationkeyEnabled(configurationkeynum(SIG)))
{
  SIGBaseDocument::checkAndCacheRename(common,dictField.id(),newValue);
}
 startLengthyOperation();
fieldId = dictField.id();
try
{
  ttsbegin;
  // CC Start
  CCPrimaryKey::renamePrimaryKey(common, dialogField.value(), fieldId);
  // CC End
  common.(fieldId) = dialogField.value();
  common.renamePrimaryKey();
 
  if (common.TableId == tablenum(UserInfo))
  {
   common.update();
  }
  ttscommit;
}
catch (Exception::Error)
{
  ttsabort;
}

}

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...
