Layer Structure

    SLN, SLP Solution layer:
    Includes Microsoft endorsed industry solutions.


    FPK, FPP Feature Pack layer: Includes
    industry feature packs that are controlled by
    Microsoft.

Object ID’S
 AX2009-Object IDs were 16 bits long



 AX2012- Object IDs were 32 bits long

 Changing the length of object IDs from 16 bits to 32 bits
  exponentially increases the number of object IDs that are
  available
how to delete a layer ?

           Axutill :command-line tool
     Axutil delete /layer:usr /db:MicrosoftDynamicsAx
•   The AxUtil Command-Line Utility and PowerShell Cmdlets
•   AxUtil is a command-line utility that you can use to import and export .axmodel files into the SQL
    Server model store. You can also use AxUtil to delete one or more models
Full Text Index in Dynamics AX 2012

Full-text functionality that enables AX to search business data over a large volume of text data or documents. These
can be automatically updated at the same time that the data is changed in the associated tables
                                                         static void SR_FullTextQuery(Args _args)
                                                     {
                                                          Query          query;
                                                          QueryBuildDataSource qbds;

                                                       QueryBuildRange      queryBuildRange;
                                                       QueryRun          queryRun;
                                                       SR_FullTextExample    sr_FullTextExample;
                                                       query = new Query();
                                                       qbds = query.addDataSource(tableNum(SR_FullTextExample));
                                                       queryBuildRange =
                                                     qbds.addRange(fieldNum(SR_FullTextExample, Name));

                                                          queryBuildRange.rangeType(QueryRangeType::FullText);

                                                          // The space character is treated as a Boolean OR.
                                                          queryBuildRange.value(“Sreenath Kumar”);

                                                          queryRun = new QueryRun(query);
                                                          while (queryRun.next())
                                                          {
                                                         sr_FullTextExample = queryRun.get(tableNum(SR_FullTextExample));
                                                         info(sr_FullTextExample.Name);
                                                          }

Full Text Index in Dynamics AX 2012
•   queryBuildRange.value(“Sreenath Kumar”);
Parts
 .

On AOT, there is a new node called “Part”,
which holds the fact box objects.
The available type of fact boxes are,
•Form part
•Info part
•Cue part
Surrogate keys in AX 2012

The surrogate key in database terms refers to a field that also uniquely
identifies a record, but isn't a natural selector. When looking at Ax, this is the
RecID.
A surrogate key is a system generated value that acts as the primary key of a
table. This value is typically used instead of a set of fields called the natural key
which would typically act as the primary key of a table. Microsoft Dynamics AX
2012 uses RecId as the surrogate key.
Table Inheritance- AX2012
No Table Inheritance –AX2009
Just as an X++ class can inherit from another class, a table can inherit from another
table. A table that inherits from the base table is called a derived table. the terms parent
table and child table are used to describe foreign key relationships, not inheritance
Table inheritance
Party (Base table) properties:
Abstract: Yes
Extends: (Blank)
SupportInheritance: Yes


Person properties:
Abstract: No
Extends: Party
SupportInheritance: Yes

Organization properties:
Abstract: No
Extends: Party
SupportInheritance: Yes

NonProfitOrganization properties:
Abstract: No
Extends: Organization
SupportInheritance: Yes

GovernmentOrganization properties:
Abstract: No
Extends: Organization
SupportInheritance: Yes
Relations
AX2009 - Able to define relations at EDT and Table levels.


AX2012 – The ability to define
relations on EDTs is removed
Different Styles of Tabs

In 2009 we have Tabs displayed in horizontal,
see the below image.
Different Styles of Tabs
Fast Tabs
Fast tab is a new style of tabs, in this style the tabs can be expanded and collapsed.
This style is useful if user wants to view the information from two or more tabs at the
same time.
Different Styles of Tabs
•   Vertical Tabs
•   In vertical tab style, the tabs are displayed vertically on left side. This style can be used in
    parameters form of modules.
Different Styles of Tabs
•   Index Tab
•   Index tabs are used for line details information. The tabs are displayed at the bottom
    of the form/group.
