thank you  Pete Ward In a previous post I walked through how to make changes to your online web catalog directly from Dynamics AX 2012 ( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dynamics-coe/archive/2013/02/04/updating-your-commerce-catalog-directly-from-dynamics-ax.aspx ).  This powerful feature showcases the truly integrated, omni-channel retail solution that is Dynamics AX. In this post, I'm going to look at what's happening in the background and walk through the data flow of this process. So to begin, let's have a look at a very simple picture representation of some of the components involved in this process.  (and yes there are a number of elements involved that I've left off but this will get us started).   So let's step through what's happening when we publish our catalog to the web. Step 1: Publishing the catalog from Dynamics AX to the Commerce Run Time database When you publish the catalog in Dynamics AX and run the A-1075_OC job, the CRT Synch Service

Building on  this post on listing elements in a model  and  this post on putting a list in a HTML file  I wanted to quickly just show an easy and quick way to create list elements in a model to HTML. The PowerShell command is easy, and the results are swift and usable. For this example I'm going to list the contents of a hotfix. (axmodel -model 'Hotfix-KB2909140-Foundation' -details).elements | select name, elementtype, path | ` sort path | ConvertTo-Html -CssUri http://skaue.com/ps.css | Out-File c:\KB2909140.html The HTML-file can be viewed using your favorite browser.

thank you TOMMY SKAUE I have been getting some requests from blog readers on how users are added in Management Reporter. If you are on AX2012 R2 with CU7 and onwards the users are collected directly from AX by the service itself. This means that if you attempt to create the users from Management Reporter, the MR client (Report Designer) will stop you. Management Reporter comes with 2 users and a limited license. So the very first thing you need to do is load the license. You will find the license on VOICE where you find the license for Dynamics AX. Load the license and observe the number of users granted. Management Reporter has four types of users: Viewer, Designer, Generator and Administrator. The account installing will become administrator immidately, and as soon as the service starts it will start collecting users from AX. What typically happens is that you'll get your own user in right away, and then the two users given by the demo license. You then load the license and the

thank you JORIS DG For those of you who have read my post on the  Windows Azure App , may recall my shortcut for fixing the missing bindings and other app.config settings. I've been meaning to dig into this further and come to a solution, but for the Azure post being constrained by my promised " 10-minute  app " I stuck with the ugly solution. Recently I was talking with the MSDN  team about AIF related articles they are wanting to do, and I brought up this issue. They pointed out they had not seen this issue and asked if I had followed the  whitepaper on consuming webservices . Now, there's not necessarily a lot to it, but in looking over the whitepaper I found one tiny little thing, which makes a world of difference and solves my issue: AIFUtil class! This sparked the idea of doing a follow-up on this, and due to a late night conversation on  Twitter  related to this I figured I really need to get this on my blog. The issue as I'm about to explain is a .NET fa
