Job to export all AX 2009 security groups to files

Alex wrote a nice and quick job that can export the existing security settings in Dynamics AX 2009 to a folder This is very helpful when we make frequent changes to security and need to have a quick backup of the existing settings.

I have been changing security a bunch lately and it's nice to have a backup of your previous settings if you make a mistake. Here is a quick job I wrote to export your existing security settings to a folder.


 static void ExportSecurityGroups(Args _args)
{
  SysSecurityUserGroup sysSecurity = SysSecurityUserGroup::construct();
  UserGroupInfo userGroupInfo;
  #file Dialog dialog = new Dialog("@SYS14863");
  DialogField dialogFileName;
  Object formdialog;
  ;
  dialogFileName = dialog.addField(typeid(FilePath),"@SYS16423");
  dialog.doInit();
  formdialog = dialog.formRun();
  formdialog.filenameLookupTitle("@SYS53669");    
 
  if (dialog.run() && WinAPI::pathExists(dialogFileName.value()))
  {
     while select userGroupInfo
    {
        sysSecurity.parmUserGroupId(userGroupInfo.id);
        sysSecurity.load();
        sysSecurity.export(dialogFileName.value() + @'\' + userGroupInfo.id + '.asg');
    }
  }    
  else
    warning("No action taken...");
info("Done"); }

Passing values between form and class

Class name is EmplDuplication and Form is EmplTable . void clicked() {    MenuFunction mf;    args args = new Args();    ;     args.record(EmplTable);     mf = new menufunction(identifierstr(EmplDuplication), MenuItemType::Action); mf.run(args); } Meanwhile, in the main() method of the EmplDuplication class, we need to put this Axapta x++ code to get the datasource: static void main(Args args) {     EmplDuplication EmplDuplication; EmplTable localEmplTable; ;     if(args.record().TableId == tablenum(EmplTable)) localEmplTable = args.record();     ... }

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...
