Dynamics Ax 7

Inline variable declaration in New Dynamics Ax (aka ax 7).

by

Now in Dynamics Ax 7, now developer can declare variable/object where they need it. Instead ax 2012, where variable  declaration is only possible in very beginning of method or function.

For ( int counter =0; counter < 10; counter++)

{

 

If ( counter >10)

{

Int value= counter+10;

}

Else

{

Real percentage = (counter  *20) /100;

}

}

That’s good: Its ease to developer to declare variable where he needs.

That’s bad : it will disorganize the code, Its look better as in Ax 2012 that variables will declare in separate section. It was better to search reference of class object or table buffer

Runnable classes and table browser in Dynamics Ax (Dynamics AX 7).

by

Purpose of This post to explore the runnable classes to test the logic, checking the traditional X++ (AX 2012) code and new table explorer in Dynamics Ax 7.  This post is based on Dynamics AX (Dynamics AX 7) CTP 8.

 

In new Dynamics Ax (Dynamics AX 7) there is no more AX Jobs.  For testing certain logic we have to use runnable classes.

 

Suppose we have to test the logic for some service, which has data contract and Service contract classes.

Right click inside solution explorer and add new object and select runnable class.

New Item

New Job

 

 

Add test logic as

class HelloWorld

{

/// <summary>

/// Runs the class with the specified arguments.

/// </summary>

/// <param name = “_args”>The specified arguments.</param>

public static void main(Args _args)

{

ColorDC dc = new ColorDC();

ColorSc Sc = new ColorSc();

dc.parmColorName(“Red”);

Sc.InsertColor(dc);

dc.parmColorName(“Green”);

Sc.InsertColor(dc);

 

 

}

 

}

 

Now expand the project properties and set my Hello world class a start up object

To explore the debug feature I add a break point and press F5. With debug window a new diaglonsitic tool runs, which shows memory and space used by my code processing.

 

I just test the traditional X++ code, Its works the same way as it was in Morphix editor in tradition AX (2012).

public void InsertColor(ColorDC Colorobj)

 

{

 

MyColorTable _Color;

 

Name _Name;

 

 

 

_Name = Colorobj.parmColorName();

 

 

 

select * from _Color where _Color.ColorName== _Name;

 

 

 

if (_Color==null)

 

{

 

try

 

{

 

ttsBegin;

 

_Color.ColorName = _Name;

 

_Color.insert();

 

 

 

ttsCommit;

 

}

 

catch

 

{

 

ttsAbort;

 

}

 

 

 

}

 

}

 

 

Now right click on table and from properties popup menu click on table browser.

The new table browser inside Visual studio show me the values just inserted during debugging of above mentioned code.

Microsoft Dynamics ‘AX 7’ and the Cloud: an analyst’s (pre)view

by

About Ax 7 and Cloud I found very nice paper at Inside Microsoft Dyanmics Ax Blog. They wrote about the paper

In the paper, Mr. Greenbaum explains how the next release of Microsoft Dynamics AX, running on the Microsoft Azure, positions cloud computing for a dramatic and meaningful shift. With a starting discussion of the long-standing customer promises and pain points with regard to ERP, Greenbaum explains the basics of our cloud offering and then describes the benefits to both partners and customers.
