Visual Studio Project in Microsoft Dynamics Axapta 2012

Visual Studio Project used to interact with Microsoft Dynamics Axapta, Allow developer to create subset of elements

Three types of Visual Studio Project can be used to develop

1.   Report Modeling Projects

       It has own templates provided under the microsoft Dynamics Axapta template group

2.   Enterprise Portal Web Application Projects

       It has own templates provided under the microsoft Dynamics Axapta template group

3.   Managed Codce Projects
      Once this project is created in visual studio, Axapta elements from application explorer can be added to it by drag an element from application explorer in to project solution explorer

    node representing the element will be in the project, also referred to as proxies

Create Evenet handlers in Managed code
      1. Open  Visual Studio.
     2. Create Managed Code project.
     3. Rename class like MyPreEventHandler
     4. Save your project.
    5. Build class,then Build MyPreEventHandler.
    6. Right-click on project in Solution Explorer and select Add
       "Project Name" to AOT.
    7. If the Application Explorer is not visible, open the same.
    8. In the code editor, open the MyPreEventHandler class and place
        cursor somewhere inside the class.
    9. In the Application Explorer, locate SalesFormLetter class.
       Expand the same and locate the run method.
    10. Right-click the run method and select Add pre event handler.
    11. make sure that event handler method is created

Deploying Managed code

Locking in Axapta 2012

Multiple user is trying to access the database, same time users wnats to lock the same records at the same time

 

If first user lock the record another user wait until the record is realesed by first user

 

Incase of dead lock arrived, transaction must be aborted

 

when overlapping transactions editing the same data is small, optimistic locking increase concurrency and thus transaction throughput. Enable OCC for a table by setting the property OccEnabled to Yes

 

   Never implement dialog with the user inside a transaction.

 

  Try to lock central resources in the same order. This avoids the dead
  lock situation discussed previously. This serializes the process,
  which means that only one user can perform this at a time.

 

  Try to avoid locking central resources.

  Keep the transactions as short in time as possible. Do not
  compromise the integrity of the data.

 

 

Locking is held when it takes to finish the process

 

Process of locking

 

Process 1                          Process 2                      

Item C -                           Locked -
Item A -                           Locked -
Item B -                           Locked Item G - Locked
Item G - Waiting for lock from     Item A - Waiting for lock from
Process 2                          Process 1

 

 

    ttsbegin;
    while select inventTable
    {
        if
          (CustTable::find(branchTable.PrimaryBranchid).Blocked == CustBranchBlocked::All)
            {
                BranchTableUpdate = BranchTable::find(BranchTable.BranchId, true);
                BranchTableUpdate.PrimaryBranchId ="";
                BranchTableUpdate.update();
             }
     }
     ttscommit;

 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

    while select forupdate inventTable
                       exists join vendTable
    where vendTable.AccountNum == inventTable.PrimaryVendorId &&
                     vendTable.Blocked == CustVendorBlocked::All

 

Methods Used in Array in Axapta 2012

In microsoft Dynamics Axapta, use of Methods in Array

 

• It hold value of any Single type, either it is objects or records 
• such kind of objects can transferred to methods and functions

Methods

1.       exist(int)

          In arrya to check value is exist in desire positions

 

2.       lastIndex()

          To stores Maximum index value in array

 

3.       value(jnt_index, [anytype_value])

           It do gets or sets the value of the array member that is stored at the specific index

Check below details, it holds three differant query object.

Array array = new Array (Types::Class);

array.value(1, new Query());

array.value(2, new Query());

array.value(3, new Query()); 

 

Show User is already logged in in Axapta

If you would like to restrict single user name/Id to get multiple session in axapta, try below

select count(recid) from clientSession where clientSession.userId==curuserid() &&
                                                                         clientSession.status!=0                 &&
                                                                clientSession.sessionType==0;

    if(clientSession.recid>1)
    {
          for(myloop=1,myloop<=150,myloop++);
         {
            progress.incCount();
            progress.setCaption("Alert")
            progress.setText(strfmt("  '%1' is already logged-in",curuserid()));
            sleep(5);
         }
     infolog.shutDown(true);
    }

 

pass parameter in axapta between a form

Step 1) Button Control Data Source Value

public void init()
{
    custTable _Custtable;
     ;
     super();
     if(element.args())
    {
         if(element.args().record() && element.args().record().tableID == tablenum( custtable))
         {
              _Custtable = element.args().record();
          }
     }
}

Step 2) overiding source form's button control clicked method

In Form1

void clicked()
{
  
    Args            args;
    Formview         Formview;
    ;

    args = new args();
    args.parm( "yourStringValue" );

    _args.name( formstr( FormB ) );
    Formview= classFactory.formviweClass( Args );
    Formview.init();
    Formview.run();
    Formview.wait();

    super();
}

In Form2

public void init()
{
    str             YourStringValueFromCaller;
    ;
    super();

    if( element.args() )
    {
        // get string parameter
        YourStringValueFromCaller = element.args().parm();

    }
}

Report Deployment in Microsoft Dynamics Axapta 2012

Step by Step Report Deployment in Microsoft Dynamics Axapta 2012, it is Faster and Reliable

There are three way to deploy SSRS report
1.    Visual Studio
2.    Within AX workspace
3.    Report Shell

Below there are two reports for deploy shown in bold letter, you can right click and select Deploy Report in AOT, you can select two reports at a time and right click and select Deploy Element

you can select multiple report name, right click and select deploy

Info Log shows with statistic Success
You can see below deployment status for design name Success

 

To verify that Report is deployed or not so we go to DynamicsAX - Report Manager and refresh the page, you can see your Reports Name appeared here

Now let’s  do the same from Microsoft Visual Studio, here you can right click and see the option available like Build solution, Rebuild Solution, Deploy solution etc….
 

you can right click on report file and select deploy

 

Once you select deploy  you will get information in outpout window, below you can see 

Deployment status for design name : success

 

Now check the file which are available in Report manager, to cross verify you can delete the files from Report Manager and deploy once again so you can see the newly deployed file in report manager

How to deploy a report file thru Report Shell
Check step by step below images

Select Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 management Shell from Windows Menu -Start - Administrator Tools

Make sure you are administrator or Right Click and select Run as Administrator

 

 you can find below screen shot which is pure command line based

Get - Command
Get - Command -Module Microsoft.Dyn*

Try

Get-AXReport     and          Publish-AXReport

Get-Help Get-AXReport

 

Get -AXReport - ReportName *
First time it may take a minute to show the output

If you wanted to see in grid view
$Reports Get-AXReport -ReportName *
$Reports : Out-GridView

You will get one window display as below

 

So now lets do publish report from command line

 

     Publish-AXReport -ReportName BIDemo*

 

It will display Deploying Reports and related artifacts

You can see DesignDeploymentSuccess : <Success>

 

 

 

 

Lets back to DynamicsAX - Report Manager, Refresh the page, you can see your reports deployed from command line

lets type command 

     Get -Command -Module Microsoft.Dyn*                 see above image Last Line

If you have problem with deploying

Type command line

     Test-AXReportServerConfiguration

See below image with result Testing the report server configurations completed, I would recommand to do it first

 

Thanks

Variables and Data Types in Microsoft Dynamics Axapta 2012

Variable is holding data when a block of code executes

Scope

Global to a class (in the class declaration of a class)
Local to a method (Variable define in a method of a class)
Local to an embedded function ( variable defined in a function embedded in a method of a class)

Declaration
Rules

•           Declare variable before anything else in the code
•           use a semicolon after each declaration

assign value 20 to xyz
                     int xyz = 20;

                     you can also create Extended datatype on the basis of primitive datatypes

Overview of  Data type

String
             Hold characters - maximum 999 character it can hold
             str     xyz = "testing";

Integer
            Hold natural figure - number without decimal point
             int     xyz  = 9;

Real
            Numbers with decimal point
             real     xyz = 9.19;

Date
            date type contains day, month and year
            date    xyz = 02/18/2012;

UTC dateTime
           Hold year, month, day, hour, minute and secons
           utcDateTime   xyz =  02/18/2012 10:10:02 am;

Enum
           It represented internally as integer, first literal has the number 0, the next number 1 and so on,
           use as expressions

           enum xyz = NoYes::Yes;

Boolean
            it contain value True and False only
            boolean   xyz ;

Time
            Contains hours, minutes and seconds
            timeOfDay  xyz;

Guide
           Means Global Unique Identifer(GUID) it is uniue i nany context

           GUID XYZ ; //{3f2504E0-4F89-11D3-9AA0-5030E82C1033}.

Int64
           hold large integer, 64bit
           Int64 xyz;


Variable with extended datatype

custAccount         _CustAccount;
amountMST         amountDb, amountCr;



Composite data types

Array
          It is a List of Ites with the same data types and the same name, Only Index Differs

Container
          It is a Dynamic list of items that can contain primitive data types and
          some composite data types

Classes
          A class is a type defination that describes both variables and methods for
          instances (method) of the class

Tables
          It is defined in the database, can handle class definations




 

Arrays in Microsoft Dynamics Axapta 2012

Array is a list of items with the same datatype and the same name, Only the index differs

Arrays can be declared by brackets [ ]

real      MyArray[];                    //unlimited index value
real      MyArray1[15];              //maximum 10 index value

myarray[1] = 1.1;
myarray[2]= 1.2;

etc...

for [i =1; i <= 15; i++)
   {
      print MyArray1[i];
   }

A container variable can contain different types and value of simle and extended data types, including arrays

container  xyz;

int             a,b;
xyz = [15, 30, "SempleText"];
print compeek(xyz,3);

 

Characteristics of X++ in Axapta 2012

Reliable
     X++ provides extensive compile-time checking,
     Memory management model is simple,
     Object create by New operator,
     Automatic garbage collection
     Eliminates entire classes of programming errors

Interpreted and dynamic
     Benefit from faster developement cycle prototyping,
     Rapid developement and experimentation

Interoperable
     components in AX are seamlessly available to any application supporting .Net,
     conversely x++ is able to consume external managed code and COM objects.

Axapta 2012 Developer point of view

View

• Use tables and views to model data in perspectives
• Modeling data using views and tables makes it easier to customize cubes.

Analysis Services Project wizards

• Deploy default cubes.
• Use the Analysis Services project wizard to deploy an existing Analysis Services project. Choose the default cubes from the AOT.
• It is easier to deploy the default cubes.

Configure an Analysis Services project

• Use the Analysis Services project wizard to remove measures, dimensions, and KPIs that you do not have access to according to the license and configuration keys in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Analysis Services project.

• It is easier to update an existing Analysis Services project.

ValidTimeStateFieldType

• select statement , validTimeState keyword to filter rows by date or date range, like ValidTimeStateFieldType property

Application programmers no longer have to track every detail of foreign key relationships when they perform a set of data modification calls. The UnitOfWork class helps enforce transaction integrity.

Prerequisite for Microsoft Dynamics Axapta 2012

By launching this configuration utility we can verify to see whether or not the reporting service integration is set to SharePoint integrated or not

I select connect and choose Database

As seen below report server mode set to SharePoint integrated, we can either choose the AX database or another database selecting change Database

Axapta 2012 required Database could be on a dedicated box or on the same machine, for production environment it is recommended dedicated server

For the server components, needs Application Object Server (AOS) either installed in same box or on dedicated server, having multiple AOS speed up the operation and also allow to have a cluster environment.

Web server components and Enterprise Portal (EP) give you similar functionality to the client application over the web

Enterprise Search give you the capability to find different information in your environment either a client utility or Enterprise Portal (EP)

Business Intelligence components required reporting service extension to gives you the capability to create reports using visual studio

Analysis Services Configuration gives you capability to use OLAP and OLTP

Client components are necessary for dynamic AX users to able to access the Dynamic Features

Office Add-ins gives you the interaction between Microsoft Office products like excel and Dynamic

Remote Desktop Service integration gives you the capability to run dynamic AX client to use terminal services on operating system

For developer you need to install the developer tools, you have

Debugger

Visual Studio tools which gives capability to create visual studio project in C# and same into the AOT also to create Enterprise Portal using Visual Studio

Trace Parser gives you capability to troubleshooting to find out exactly how many problems do you have in regards to client to server and server to database communication also give you benchmark utility to allow you to find out performance related to those communication

For Integration Components

Web Services on IIS which is based on wcf

.NET Business Connector is a gateway between dynamics AX and Visual Studio or any third party language which allows you to run AX command from visual studio application or vise a versa between dynamics AX using X++ or MrophX called the .NET library Application

Synchronization proxy for Microsoft Project Server if you are going to manage your projects Microsoft project server is one of the products that Microsoft offers Dynamics Ax has the capability to synchronized all the project and associated task within Dynamics Ax , you can also provide project accountant in regards to manage in the cost of running the project.

Manage utilities uses the window power shell 2.0 to maintain the Dynamic Ax 2012 using the power shell options
