This is the final post of this series.

Hybrid connection - Web Api App for AX 2012 to Azure-part 4 (this one)


In this post we will set up a Hybrid Connection. This is basically a listener that sits on your on-premise server. It will expose internal port to Azure. More information on Hybrid connection on Microsoft’s site.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/biztalk-services/integration-hybrid-connection-overview

In your Api App, click on Networking. Then click on “Configure your hybrid connection endpoints”.

First download the connection manager. Install this on your on-premise server that you want to install the listener.

You don’t have to run the connection manager just yet. Set up the hybrid connection by clicking on the “Add hybrid connection”

Click on the “Create new hybrid connection”

Enter the required detail. Host is the AOS server name. The port is the net tcp port number.

If unsure what port to enter. Have a look at the net.tcp address in the wsdl or inside the web config file.

Now lets run the Hybrid connection Manager you installed a few steps earlier. Click on “Configure another Hybrid Connection”. It will ask you to log in. Once logged in, you can seelect an existing connection. This is what you created in the portal. Click on Save and you should see a green “Connected” status next to it. The web portal should show the same.

That is it. Give it a test by navigating to the swagger URL. The URL is just the Api App url suffixed with swagger. eg.

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.
