Add Fields to Batch Job Dialog in Ax 2012

Prerequisites:
Requirement:
To add custom fields to batch job dialog to choose a date range to process only those records falling in that date range.
Project overview:
Untitled
As you can see in the picture, a data contract class MAKSalesTableContract has been added to the project to achieve the goal. We’ll be adding from date and to date fields on the batch dialog to capture the date range.
Development steps:
1. Create a new data contract class MAKSalesTableContract with the following class declaration:
[DataContractAttribute]
class MAKSalesTableContract
{
    TransDate   fromDate;
    TransDate   toDate;
}
2. Create a new method parmFromDate with the following definition:
[
    DataMemberAttribute,
    SysOperationLabelAttribute(literalStr("From Date")),
    SysOperationHelpTextAttribute(literalStr("Pick a valid begin date")),
    SysOperationDisplayOrderAttribute('1')
]
public TransDate parmFromDate(TransDate _fromDate = fromDate)
{
    fromDate = _fromDate;
 
    return fromDate;
}
3. Create a new method parmToDate with the following definition:
[
    DataMemberAttribute,
    SysOperationLabelAttribute(literalStr("To Date")),
    SysOperationHelpTextAttribute(literalStr("Pick a valid end date")),
    SysOperationDisplayOrderAttribute('2')
]
public TransDate parmToDate(TransDate _toDate = toDate)
{
    toDate = _toDate;
 
    return toDate;
}
4. Update the MAKSalesTableService.processRecords method to the following definition:
[SysEntryPointAttribute(false)]
public void processRecords(MAKSalesTableContract _contract)
{
    MAKSalesTable   makSalesTable;
    int             counter = 0;
 
    //Determines the runtime
    if (xSession::isCLRSession())
    {
        info('Running in a CLR session.');
    }
    else
    {
        info('Running in an interpreter session.');
 
        //Determines the tier
        if (isRunningOnServer())
        {
            info('Running on the AOS.');
        }
        else
        {
            info('Running on the Client.');
        }
    }
 
    //Actual operation performed
    while select forUpdate makSalesTable
        where makSalesTable.TransDate >= _contract.parmFromDate()
            && makSalesTable.TransDate <= _contract.parmToDate()
    {
        ttsBegin;
        makSalesTable.Processed = NoYes::Yes;
        makSalesTable.update();
        ttsCommit;
 
        counter++;
    }
 
    info(strFmt("Successfully processed %1 records.", counter));
}
This is where the magic happens. Note that method now takes an input parameter of type MAKSalesTableContractclass. Then it filters the records to be processed in the while loop by adding ranges to the MAKSalesTable.TransDate field, using the values given by user on the batch dialog for From Date and To Date.
5. Compile and generate incremental IL.
6. Click on Menu Items > Action > MAKSalesTableService to run the batch job.
7. You should now be having 2 fields added to the batch dialog:

Table Methods in Ax 2012

Table Methods in Ax 2012 Methods are used for adding X++ code to your application. The code in methods is also referred to as business logic. Whenever records are changed, inserted or deleted from a table various default methods are executed. We can change the default methods and by doing so we are overriding the default methods.To override a method go to the  Methods  node of a table, right click and choose  Override Method . Below are few examples of Overriding commonly used Table methods: initValue(): If we create a new record from the table browser or a form the table method initValue() is executed. It is used to set a default value for the fields.  Example (1): Let’s override intiValue for MyFirstTable and set default value for custGroupId public void initValue() { super(); this.custGroupId = "10"; } After adding this method, open table MyFirstTable  through Table browser and press ctrl+n to create a new record. The field custGroupId wil

Write/ Read to Excel Sheet

File exists in a Directory:  static void FileExists(Args _args) { str filePath = @”C:\\vani.pdf”; ; if(WinAPI::fileExists(filePath)) { WinAPI::copyFile(filePath,”C:\\1.pdf”); } } Dynamics AX X++ code to Read/Write data to excel Writing Data to Excel file   How it works 1. Use SysExcelApplication class to create excel file. 2. Use SysExcelWorkbooks and SysExcelWorkbook to create a blank workbook(by default 3 worksheets will be available). 3. Use SysExcelWorkSheets to select worksheet for writing data. 4. SysExcelCells to select the cells in the excel for writing the data. 5. SysExcelCell to write the data in the selected cells. 6. Once you done with write operation use SysExcelApplication.visible to open file. static void Write2ExcelFile(Args _args) { InventTable inventTable; SysExcelApplication application; SysExcelWorkbooks workbooks; SysExcelWorkbook workbook; SysExcelWorksheets worksheets; SysExcelWorksheet worksheet; SysExcelC

Financial Dimensions in AX 2012

Image
Today we will be exploring the new changes  related  to Financial dimensions in AX 2012. Earlier versions AX 2009, 4.0 : Ø   In older version System use to limit the creation of dimensions up to 10.  Ø   By default 3 dimensions were available in the system namely Department, CostCenter and Purpose. Ø   Technically these dimensions were controlled by Enum SysDimension and an array EDT Dimension. Ø   So If we have 3 enum elements in SysDimension, then its corresponding array elements are stored in    dimension EDT and can be referred as Dimension[0], Dimension[1]..... Ø   If you would like to store these dimension values against customized table, then simply we were adding the EDT Dimension to that Table. At  Form  level simply drag and drop field on Group then system use to  show all the array elements as string control. New version AX 2012 (6.0) :   Ø   In AX 2012(6.0), there is no limit to dimension creations. One can create n number of dimensions as per orga
