Dynamics AX in the Field

Have you installed one of the new Report Builders-- version 2 or version 3-- and can't get AX to launch it?
This posting addresses the issue and walks you through the steps to point AX to the new version.
The first step is that you will need to get Report Builder 2.0 or 3.0 installed on your report server. You should be able to access the Report Builder through the Internet Explorer first. In addition, you should already be able to access Report Builder 1.0 from AX. If you don't have this working you will need to revisit the installation guides. Once you have Report Builder 1.0 working through AX and the newer version of Report Builder working outside of AX than you can make the following changes.
Try this in a Test Environment prior to performing this on a production environment and as always make sure you have good backups.
Get into Dynamics AX and access the AOT.
1) Locate the SRSConfiguration class (Classes >>SRSConfiguration).
2) Edit the getReportBuilderUrl method with the following changes:

3) Save the method.
4) Locate the SRSReportBuilder class (Classes >> SRSReportBuilder).
5) Edit the Invoke method to have the following changes:

6) Save the Method.
7) Compile the changes and test.
To learn more about Report Builder and the features each version offers, visit SQL 2008 R2 site here.
Keep in mind that not all features of Report Builder 2.0 or 3.0 may not work with AX 2009. The code changes above are considered code suggestions and qualify as a customization and may not be supported under support agreements.

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
