Use of Printers On The Server is not allowed (Dynamics AX 2009)

We have created a new feature in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 that once the invoice is posted successfully than its copy will email to the user.

When we ran the whole process in batch job it was failing,

after checking the logs of the batch job we got the error message which was causing the issue.

The Error message was:

We have different AOS setup on that environment.After investigation we found out that the AOS server on which that batch job runs have some server configuration issue.

When we open the Server Configuration of that AOS Server we found out that the checkbox 'Allow Clients to connect to printers on this server' was un checked.

After checking that check box when we post the invoice again in batch mode it was successfully posted.

Further Details related to this issue can be seen on the below link.

Customize infolog in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 you can customize the infolog to add some new buttons on it to open some other forms.

For example in my scenario I have to generate the word document and once the word document is generated successfully than I create a activity automatically and show the activity number on the infolog. once the user clicks on that activity number on the infolog than the show button is appears on the same infolog and when user clicks on that show button than it opens the activity form in edit mode so the user can change the values if they want.

Below is the screen shot of infolog containing activity number and show button.

Now when i click on that show button than it will open the activity form with the same activity number already filtered in it.

Below is the code that I have use to customize the infolog.

info(strfmt('Activity Created Successfully activity number is %1', smmActivities.ActivityNumber), "", Sysinfoaction_tablefield::newBuffer(smmActivities));

note:on smmActivities table the property formRef is set to form smmActivities thats why its opens the form smmActivities.

Below is link for more information on customizing infologs.
