Hi Joan

I saw this email and thought of you.... J  let me know if it’s helpful...

Hello Avijeet,

You shouldn’t face any special challenges. It’s like normal ASP.NET programming. Just be aware, that you need a Session-pool for Ax like it’s done in the EP. You can use the SessionFactory in the Microsoft.Dynamics.WebPart assembly and quite easy to use. For example:

ISession session = SessionFactory.CreateInstance(HttpContext.Current, false);
string returnValue = session.GetAxatpa().CallStaticClassMethod("A00", "HelloWorld", new object[0]).ToString(); //Calls the A00.HelloWorld()

Using this session-pool is an easy way to have a threadsafe Axapta-connector and to not have performance issues due to the initialization of the connection.

Ax Security: The Authentication is the same as for EP (using the current HttpContext). Since you want to integrate them into the EP there’s no problem

Encryption: You should use the DPAPI (Data Protection API). It would be easier by doing this with the Security Application Block or Enterprise Library.

For 3 and 4 it’s standard ASP.NET/Html programming.

Perhaps this might interest you: You can develop you own WebParts and integrate them in the EP. This would perhaps be easier than developing ASP.Net pages and trying to integrate them. You’ll have all the advantages of SharePoint. You can do this like this for example:

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using Microsoft.Dynamics.WebParts;

namespace WebPartSample
{
public class HelloAx : WebPart //You can use the WebPartBase from the EP instead (Microsoft.Dynamics.WebParts. WebPartBase)
{
protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
{

try
{
ISession session = SessionFactory.CreateInstance(HttpContext.Current, false);
string returnValue = session.GetAxatpa().CallStaticClassMethod("A00", "HelloWorld", new object[0]).ToString(); //Calls the A00.HelloWorld() which returns "Hello World" in a string.

writer.WriteLine("ReturnValue: " + returnValue);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
writer.WriteLine("An exception has been thrown: " + ex.Message);
writer.WriteLine("The call-stack: " + ex.StackTrace);
}
base.Render(writer);
}
}
}

Good luck,

Florian

Hi,

Dynamics Ax Version – Ax 4.0 SP1

Enterprise Portal

We have a client requirement where client needs few webpages (Special design) which we are not able to achieve with Ax EP Framework (From Inside Ax).

We are thinking of creating those 3-4 webpages outside Ax (ASP .NET) and integrate those webpages with Ax EP Webpages.

Please let me know Pros & Cons of such approach. If any one has done something similar what kind of challenges we can face. For eg.

1.       Ax Secuirty

2.       Encryption

3.       Validatations

4.       Accessibility

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Joan,

The bank file formats that you always wanted J

As far as I know, there are the main NZ banks offering both download (normally statements/payments from debtors) and upload (normally payments to vendors). 

As you can see from the files attached, there are different formats to use for upload and download, modem (dial up) and online (internet banking).  Westpac & ASB seems to be the easy ones as it is only using 1 format for all options. 

When I finish with the SDD for Bacchid, hopefully early next week, I will be able to spend some time going through and mapping the format in AX.

Let me know if you have any queries regarding the above.

Regards

Debbie

To ease the maintenance on how AX is launched locally, you can create desktop shortcut that points to a config file (.axc) which is located on the network.

Example on how to use business data lookup Snap-in in a document.

1.       Create a word document.

2.       Go to the Snap tab and click on the Insert from AX button.

3.       Click on Customers in the Look in Section. Click on the search button (or the arrow button) to display all the customers. Double-click on the customer that you are after.

4.       On the select details section, choose the fields that you want to insert in your document. Click on the insert button.

5.       On the select related records section, choose the records that you want to display.

6.       Choose Sales orders. A list of all sales orders for that customer is shown. Highlight the sales orders that you want to insert. Double click on the highlighted records.

7.       Click on the lookup button to find related records for the sales order that you highlighted. Choose order lines. This will list the sales order lines for SO-101030.

8.       Click on the box below to highlight all the records. Then click on the Insert button.

9.       You can attach the document to a Microsoft Dynamics AX record without leaving Word by clicking on the Attach to AX button.

10.   Choose the record and the attachment type. Click on Attach button

 Error : Function WebFormHtml.initVersionsGrid has been used incorrectly.

Fix (Workaround):In AX2009RTM, if we set AllowCreate=no in datasource property, we can show more than 1 records on WebGrid.
