What is new in AX 2012

What is new in AX 2012

·         EDT relations have been moved to table level.
·         The UnitOfWork class to simplify database transaction management.
·         Inheritance among tables, similar to class inheritance.
·         Full text index support to quickly query words that are embedded in the middle of a string field of a table.
·         TempDb tables are a second type of temporary table, in addition to the legacy InMemory temporary table. TempDb tables can be joined to regular tables in a query.
·         Computed columns in a view.
·         Filters on queries that perform an outer join.
·         Disabled tables can be retained in the underlying database for access by external applications.
·         Best practice compiler-enforced checks are updated to reflect new features added for this release. Emphasis is on security and evaluating existing rules that generate warnings. Warnings that require action have been promoted to errors. Minor warnings that are typically ignored have been removed.
·         A form style checker tool is integrated into the Best Practice tool.
·         Enterprise Portal is now based on Microsoft SharePoint 2010. New user controls and support for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 features significantly enhance the usability. The developer experience has been improved.
·         New and enhanced features are available in the MorphX development environment. This topic describes:
·                     Models and the model store
·                     Object IDs
·                     The AxUtil command line utility
·                     The new development environment
·                     Installation-specific IDs
·         SQL Server Reporting Services is now the primary reporting platform for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
·         New features in Visual Studio Tools enable integrated development with Visual Studio.
·         New and enhanced features for Workflow include a new Workflow Editor with advanced controls, line item workflows, and automated workflows.
·         Microsoft .NET Framework is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics AX in the following ways:

·                     X++ code can now be compiled into the common intermediate language (CIL) of Microsoft .NET Framework. This enables services and batch jobs to run faster.
·                     .NET interop to X++ is now supported. Microsoft Visual Studio can now automatically generate C# (or Visual Basic) code for proxy classes that wrap X++ classes and tables.
·                     Events are now supported in X++. The AOT provides useful nodes that make implementation easier. Events can be used to reduce the need to change custom code when you upgrade to newer versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Event handler methods can be written in X++ or in any Microsoft .NET Framework language.
·                     Attribute classes can be used to add metadata to classes, tables, and methods.
·                     The X++ language has the new keywords as and is. You can use the iskeyword to test for inheritance relationships during run time. You can use the as keyword to verify the correctness of your downcast assignments during run time.

Oops concept in AX

Class : Class is the 1st OOPs concept .Class defines the characteristics of objects which includes its attributes , fields  properties and behavior . Let us say we have a class called car , then the color , model number , top speed can be its attributes and properties . Accelerating , breaking , turning will be its behavior Objects: Objects can be considered as a thing  that performs a set of related functions .Programming objects are used to model real worlds objects. An object is also an instant of a class . For our class Car , Ferrari  will be our object Instance : One can have an instance of a class; the instance is the actual object created at runtime.  The set of values of the attributes of a particular object is called its state. The object consists of state and the behaviour that’s defined in the object’s class. Method :Also called as  functions in some programming languages , methods defines the  behavior of particular objects . For our Car class , turning() , breakin

Exploring SysQuery class SysQuery is a helper class provided by Microsoft for working with queries dynamically. It has all its methods set as ‘static.’ It provides numerous functionalities that allow one to add data source in a query, add range, apply sort, etc. in a user-friendly system. This article will provide demonstrations for the most commonly used methods from SysQuery: findOrCreateDataSource() FindOrCreate is mainly used to check whether or not the query already contains the data source. If it does not, a data source will be created. FindOrCreate is most efficient when an event developer must write a code in which the event must be fired multiple times. This function allows developers to prevent adding additional elements to data sources. This is the most common situation in which findOrCreateDatasource() is used to avoid multiple addition of data sources in a query. Because this method is static, it uses Query as the first parameter. The next parameter w
