In this post you’ll see how you can add structure to your Infolog. In AX7 / D365fO you can still invoke the setPrefix method to add prefixes to your message that you present to your users. If you have more than one message for a prefix, AX will display a new clickable link in your message, which will...
Today I would like to show you the difference, performance wise, between a plain insert of a big set of data versus an insert via a “RecordInsertList” in AX. My example is based on Dynamics 365 fFO (AX7), but it would work the same way in AX 2012. Setup the Insert vs RecordInsertList Test First I created a...
I get that question very often. People coming from AX 2012 often ask me that question. My answer is always the same, they are still there (as they are still a part of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations) and they are basically the same as before. The only thing that is new is how to run them,...
I don’t know how you debug in AX7 / D365, but I like to have a browser with the application open and just attach the debugger to the W3WP.exe. I found that very time saving, but one thing bugs me all the time and this is the whole process that follows, like always reattach it via “Debug” ,...
From time to time I run into the issue that, while debugging D365 for Finance and Operations, my breakpoints will not be hit. In Visual Studio it isn’t marked as a solid red dot, instead it is just a red circle, telling me that no symbols have been loaded. If you hover over it, Visual Studio will show...
Ever ran into the following error while sync your AX7 / D365 Database? Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.ErrorException: Failed to create a session; confirm that the user has the proper privileges to log on to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. In Visual Studio it will look like this: What is the cause for the “Failed to create a session” issue?...
As AX7 / D365 for Operations and Finance is browser based, it reveals certain URL patterns. Today I want to show you a few of them, I use them on a daily basis. The following examples show calls which you just have to copy and paste, replace the [ ] placeholders with your values (e.g. your company) in...
Like stated in the official Im- / Export Model “Docs” article from Microsoft, we can use the ModelUtil.exe to im- / export and delete models in AX 7. But if you take a detailed look at it, you will see it provides you with another option – replace. If you look at my try to get help on the...
Today’s plan? I would like to extend the init() method of a D365fO form. The goal is to get the selected line from the caller after the newly opened form is initialized. Form Init Method Extension Like said before, I would like to get the callers record when opening a new form. In this example I will retrieve...
In this post I will going to show you, how to extend the validateField method on a table. As example I used the SalesLine, where I will create a post handler to extend the validateField method. This kind of extensions were already there to be used in AX 2012, but since we have to work only with extensions now,...
