Debug X++ Code in Workflow [AX 2012]

POSTED ON  UPDATED ON 
The process to debug X++ code in Microsoft Dynamics AX workflow depends on where the code is used in the workflow. The workflow submit code is native X++, and the workflow event handler code is compiled into CIL. The following procedures describe how to enable debugging for the server, how to debug the workflow submit code, and how to debug workflow event handler code.
To enable debugging for the server
  1. Log into the server that is running the AOS.
  2. Open the Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration utility with administrative privileges (Start > Administrative Tools > Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Server Configuration). To run the utility with administrative privileges, you must right-click its icon in the Start menu and click Run as administrator.
  3. Create a new configuration that allows for debugging.
    1. Click Manage and then click Create configuration. In the Create Configuration window, name the new configuration, such as “DAX Debugging”. Click OK.
    2. On the Application Object Server tab, select Enable breakpoints to debug code X++ code running on this server. Click Apply. If you receive a message about the AOS, indicate that it should be restarted.
  4. Click OK to close the configuration window.
To debug the submit code for workflow
  1. Open the Development Workspace.
  2. In the AOT, locate the submit code that you want to debug. Typically, this will be the main method of your submit to workflow class.
  3. Set breakpoints in the X++ code by using the Code Editor.
  4. In Microsoft Dynamics AX, perform the submit operation for workflow. The Debugger should open and stop at the breakpoints you set.
To debug workflow event handler or workflow provider code
  1. Start Visual Studio. If User Account Control (UAC) is active, make sure you start Visual Studio with administrative privileges.
  2. In the View menu, click Application Explorer.
  3. In the Classes node of Application Explorer, locate the class that contains the workflow event handler or workflow provider that you want to debug.
  4. Double-click the method that you want to debug.
  5. Insert breakpoints into the method.
  6. In the Debug menu, click Attach to Process.
  7. Click Select and mark Managed (v4.0). Click OK.
  8. In the Available Processes list, select the Ax32Serv.exe process. If you do not see the process in the list, make sure that Show processes from all users and Show processes in all sessions are marked.
  9. Click Attach. The symbols for debugging will be loaded, and the breakpoints you set should be enabled.
  10. In Microsoft Dynamics AX, perform the workflow action. When the workflow event is processed, execution should stop at the breakpoint you sets.

Hiding Query Parameters in AX 2012 SSRS Report Dialog

POSTED ON 
if we want to  hide the dynamic query parameters in a AX 2012 SSRS report dialog.
The report data source is a query, which has a  few predefined ranges. But in the report dialog, I just want to see the printer select box and not the query range fields with their predefined values. I set the status of the query ranges to hide, but it had no effect on the dialog.
In this case we  go like this..
If you use a report controller class, you can overwrite the showQuerySelectButton() method and return false.

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
