AX - SQL query another database via ODBC

Recently I was involved in migrating a large data set from another database. The standard Excel import/export is a great tool for migrating data. Once you start importing over 500 records - it can get very slow.
Here is some code to do an ODBC connection to execute a select statement.
server static void main(Args args)
{
    LoginProperty                   loginProperty;
    ODBCConnection                  connection;
    Statement                       statement;
    ResultSet                       resultSet;
    SqlSystem                       sqlSystem;
    SqlStatementExecutePermission   sqlStatementExecutePermission;
    str                             sql = 'SELECT * FROM Vendor';
    ;

    sqlSystem = new sqlSystem();
    loginProperty = sqlSystem.createLoginProperty();
    // Set server - if you dont setServer. It will use current server the AOS is on.
    loginProperty.setServer('localhost');
    loginProperty.setDatabase('OtherDb');
    connection = new ODBCConnection(loginProperty);
    statement = connection.createStatement();

    //Assert
    sqlStatementExecutePermission = new SqlStatementExecutePermission(sql);
    sqlStatementExecutePermission.assert();

    //BP Deviation Documented
    resultset = statement.executeQuery(sql);
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
    while ( resultset.next() )
    {
        info(resultset.getString(1));
    }

}
You have use a class and run on server. If you create a job it wont work because it will run client side.

AX - How to use Map and MapEnumerator

Similar to Set class, Map class allows you to associate one value (the key) with another value. Both the key and value can be any valid X++ type, including objects. The types of the key and the value are specified in the declaration of the map. The way in which maps are implemented means that access to the values is very fast. Below is a sample code that sets and retrieves values from a map. static void checkItemNameAliasDuplicate(Args _args) { inventTable inventTable; Map map; MapEnumerator mapEnumerator; NameAlias nameAlias; int counter = 0; ; map = new Map(Types::String, Types::Integer); //store into map while select inventTable { nameAlias = inventTable.NameAlias; if (!map.exists(nameAlias)) { map.insert(nameAlias, 1); } else { map.insert(nameAlias, map.lookup(nameAlias) + 1); } } //retrieve fro...

AX - How to use Set and SetEnumerator

The Set class is used for the storage and retrieval of data from a collection in which the values of the elements contained are unique and serve as the key values according to which the data is automatically ordered. You can create a set of primitive data types or complex data types such as a Class, Record or Container. Below is sample of a set of records. static void _Set(Args _args) {     CustTable       custTable;     Set             set = new Set(Types::Record);     SetEnumerator   setEnumerator;     ;     while select custTable     {         if (custTable && !set.in(custTable))         {             set.add(custTable);         }     }     if (!set.empty())     {    ...

Approve Workflow via email using template placeholders #Dyn365FO

Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations has placeholders which can be inserted into the instructions. Normally you would want this to show up in the email that is sent. One of the most useful ones is the URL link to the exact record that you are approving. In the workflow configurations use the placeholder and build up your message. Towards the end it has workflow specific ones. The URL token is %Workflow.Link to web% . For the technical people the token is replaced in this class WorkflowDocumentField. This is what I inserted into my email template. <BODY> subject: %subject% <BR> message: %message% <BR> company: %company% <BR> for: %for% <BR> </BODY> Should look like this. The final result looks like this. If you debug these are the place holders that are put together.
