DynamicsAX – Sertan's .dev blog

Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is built on open standards like OAuth 2.0, OData v4 and RESTful JSON Web service APIs, which makes it possible for us to integrate our business apps with many different platforms and environments. One of these possibilities is integration with the popular mobile...

To keep this blog up to date I would like to mention some changes done in code extensibility of D365 for Finance and Operations since my last post about D365FO extensibility, AX7 (D365) Chain of command with examples , in November 2017. Replaceable keyword In chain of command method extensions, now you...

You may need to track changes in a table or data entity for your own data staging or logging purposes. AIF framework has a change tracking feature which uses SQL server stored procedures to track data changes in AX tables, which is also the standard change tracking used by the DMF (DIXF) framework to...

To extend a form in D365 for Operations, we can use pre-defined events and form delegates. Event handler methods on a handler class can be assigned to them to be called when the event is triggered (For more info, see my previous post AX7 Extensibility – Part 3 : Event handlers and delegates (hooks) )...

Previously, we used to define class constructors like below if we want to switch correct child class via a parameter : public static AtTest constructFromCommon(Common _common) { AtTest ret; switch(_common.Tableid) { case tableNum(CustTable) : ret = new AtTest_Customer(_common); break; case...

Dynamics 365 FO has an API to create URL links that point to certain forms and records, in other words “Deep links”. This way you can share a record or query within AX with others for example within an e-mail, or inside an extensible control you have written. Below I give an example method...

As of platform update 9 of Dynamics AX for Operations, we have a new extension possibility called chain of command. Now we are able to add pre and post functionality to extensible methods in a much easier and readable manner than the previously used event handlers, also we are now able to access protected...

AX7 allows you to develop new user interface components called ‘extensible controls’ using HTML, Javascript and other web programming technologies. You can also integrate any of the thousands of existing web based plugins and code libraries inside AX user interface and use them directly with AX data...

If you want to transfer small file data using AX and do not want to make use of shared folders or file uploading, sending your file directly inside your XML message as base64 encoded string is a good option. Base64 gives you the possibility to encode your binary data as text and transfer it inside text...

In the previous blog post we had a look at the possibilities of adding new methods and variables to existing AX7 program code using extensions. What if we need to modify, or add extra functionality to existing methods or events on existing classes, tables and forms? In that case we use AX7 events and...
