AIF Outbound Setup in AX2009

Usage of AIF in AX is increasing day by day. I have taken the pain of explaining the outbound setup process in AIF using File System Adapter.

Path to Download the Setup:

This document explains in depth process involved for configuring AIF. AIF in comparsion to AX2009 with AX40 has improved features.

· Actions which were used in AX40 is now scrapped in AX2009 and is completely dealt with web service

· Create; read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations are now supported.

· The programming model for AIF supports document services that encapsulate business logic and are the interface to external systems.

· AIF provides functionality for consuming external Web services from within X++.

· Performance improvements include the ability to scale up and handle more messages through parallel message processing and the addition of multiple AOSs.

· New document services for additional commonly-used documents.

Enable/Disable keys using Task Macro in Dynamics AX

Hi,

Back again with one more small trick J. How to restrict access for users perform any task on AX forms? I tried implementing this using Task macro. Here is the detailed procedure for it.

In AOT Task Macro (\Macros\Task)

· Define Task-ID values, to be used with form Control’s

Note: To know any task id in AX. Put the debugger in the \Classes\SysSetupFormRun\task and observe the watch window for the value of _p1 (task id)

· Now place the following code in \Classes\SysSetupFormRun\task before super() call

//Disable Hide/Setup/Go to Main Table Task

if (_p1 == #taskFilterHide || _p1 == #taskFilterSetup || _p1 == #taskMainTable)

{

Box::info ("@SYS81158", strfmt ("@SYS72189"));

if (DialogButton::Ok)

return 0;

}

Now if any of above action is performed then user will end up seeing no access rights Embarrassed .
