Axapta 7 Introduction

Introduction to  Dynamics 365 



  • The first step is to log into Visual Studio as an Adminstrator
Dev1
Once within Visual Studio, go to the AX7 menu and select Model Management and ‘Create model’. A model is not exactly the same as a layer, but it might be a useful analogy to think of it as being similar to a layer in the sense, it is a way to isolate and manage your customizations
Dev2
Create the model in the form that appears and fill out the fields as appropriate

Dev3
Click ‘Next’ and select ‘Existing package’ and choose ‘Application Suite’

Dev4
Press ‘Next’ – accept the default values suggested and press ‘Finish’


Dev5
In the ‘Save’ screen that appears, select the project DynamicsAX7 and give it a name of your choice and press ‘OK’
Dev6
Notice in the Solution Explorer to the right in the screen a new Project has been created in your newly created Model

Dev7
On the Solution Explorer go to the project and rightclick and select ‘Properties’
Dev8
In here note that the project is in the new Model just created and that the customizations will be saved in the ‘USR’ layer
Dev9
Also, it’s a good idea to specify which company you wish to execute the code in, here ‘DEMF’
Press OK
 Now to add ‘Runnable Class(Job) to the Project do the following. On the project rightclick and select ‘Add’ and then select ‘New Item’
Dev10

In the screen shat appears select ‘Code’ and then ‘Runable Class(Job)’
Dev11
And press ‘Add’
Note that now in the Solution explorer that the Runable Class has been added
Dev12
Doubleclick on the ‘Runable class’ and enter the code editor window and give your job a meaningful name and write your code like you would do any X++ job as known in previous versions
dev12B
Save the project(Ctrl + S) and to compile the job, select ‘Build’ and ‘Build Solution’ from the toolbar
Dev13b

Wait until the output window reports that the build has completed
Dev14


Now in order to run the job, you need to set it as a ‘Startup Object’
Go to the Solution Explorer and on the Job, righclick and select ‘set as Startup Object’
Dev15
Now to execute the job, select ‘Debug’ in the toolbar and then ‘Start without Debugging’
Dev16
And note the output in the browser, Make sure it is Synchronized with Data Base.
DevFinalOutput
And that’s it Axaptians...🔺 !
