Dynamics AX 2009 Check name of the Database name and Database Server name

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 we can check the name of the database and database server without opening the AX Server Information.

Below is the navigation path to check this.

Administration -> Database -> Database information

Once you click the database information below form will be open that contains that information .

Check the name of the calling object on the Form in Dynamics AX 2009

Some times on the form we need to check which object called this form and based on the calling object we do some changes on the form.

if the type of the calling object is class than below is the code inside if check through which we can identify the name of the caller class:

 if(SysDictClass::isEqualorSuperclass(classidget(element.args().caller()), classnum(nameoftheclass)))
{
     //write some logic to do some changes on the form if the caller class is the same is you check
}

if the type of the calling object is menuitem than below is the code:

if(this.formRun().args().menuItemName() == (menuItemDisplayStr(HcmUpdateToForecastPosition))
{
  //write some logic to do some changes on the form if the caller menuitem is the same as you           check 
}

if the type of calling object is form than below is the code:

Object  formRunObject;//write this in the class declaration of the form

//write below code in the init method of the form

formRunObject = element.

if (element.args().caller())
{
     formRunObject = element.args().caller();

     if(formRunObject.name() == formstr(ProjInvoiceTable))
     {
          //write some logic to do some changes on the form if the caller menuitem is the same as                //you check
     }
}

This are the three ways in which we can check the names of calling object.

you can write these code in the init method.

if you have any questions on this than feel free to comment on it.

Error Message When Synchronize Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Data Dictionary

After restoring the Database from the Production Environment on to the Test Environment I synchronized the data dictionary and than I got the sync error.

I investigate and found out that the issue was in the CRTCards table. It has the unique index for CardNumber Field and the table contains the duplicates records for card number.

I just go to the SQL Server Management Studio and write the below query and run it to check for the duplicate records and delete them.

WITH CTE AS(
 SELECT CARDNUMBER,
 RN = ROW_NUMBER()OVER(PARTITION BY CARDNUMBER ORDER BY CARDNUMBER)
 FROM CRTCARDS
 )
 DELETE FROM CTE WHERE RN > 1

Getting Financial Dimension Values through X++

I was working on the  SSRS reports there was the scenario of showing the individual dimensions values i.e Business Unit, Cost Center, Department, LineOfBusiness, LineOfRevenue.

I have the generalJournalAccountEntry table in my query which cantains the LedgerAccount that contains the financial dimension values in combine i,e 602100-001-026-014-. This account contains the values of main account i.e 602100, business unit i.e  011, department i.e 026,  costcentre i.e 014.

My scenario  was I have to break this accounts into individual dimensions at run time.

After some research I got the code to get the financial dimension values by ledgerDimension which is already present in GeneralJournalAccountEntry table.

Below is the code snippet to achieve this:

private void addDimensionSegments(MzkLedgerTransactionListStagingTmp _ProcessingStagingTable, GeneralJournalAccountEntry _generalJournalAccountEntry)
{
    // DimensionAttributeValueCombination stores the combinations of dimension values
    // Any tables that uses dimension  combinations for main account and dimensions
    // Has a reference to this table’s recid
    DimensionAttributeValueCombination  dimAttrValueComb;
    //GeneralJournalAccountEntry is one such tables that refrences        DimensionAttributeValueCombination
    //GeneralJournalAccountEntry          gjAccEntry;//TODO commment zahid
    // Class Dimension storage is used to store and manipulate the values of combination
    DimensionStorage        dimensionStorage;
    // Class DimensionStorageSegment will get specfic segments based on hierarchies
    DimensionStorageSegment segment;
    int                     segmentCount, segmentIndex;
    int                     hierarchyCount, hierarchyIndex;
    str                     segmentName, segmentDescription;
    SysDim                  segmentValue;
    ;

    setPrefix("Dimension values fetching");
    //Fetch the Value combination record
    dimAttrValueComb = DimensionAttributeValueCombination::find(_generalJournalAccountEntry.LedgerDimension);
    setPrefix("Breakup for " + dimAttrValueComb.DisplayValue);

    // Get dimension storage
    dimensionStorage = DimensionStorage::findById(_generalJournalAccountEntry.LedgerDimension);
    if (dimensionStorage == null)
    {
        throw error("@SYS83964");
    }

    // Get hierarchy count
    hierarchyCount = dimensionStorage.hierarchyCount();
    //Loop through hierarchies to get individual segments
    for(hierarchyIndex = 1; hierarchyIndex <= hierarchyCount; hierarchyIndex++)
    {
        setPrefix(strFmt("Hierarchy: %1", DimensionHierarchy::find(dimensionStorage.getHierarchyId(hierarchyIndex)).Name));
        //Get segment count for hierarchy
        segmentCount = dimensionStorage.segmentCountForHierarchy(hierarchyIndex);

        //Loop through segments and display required values
        for (segmentIndex = 1; segmentIndex <= segmentCount; segmentIndex++)
        {
            // Get segment
            segment = dimensionStorage.getSegmentForHierarchy(hierarchyIndex, segmentIndex);

            // Get the segment information
            if (segment.parmDimensionAttributeValueId() != 0)
            {
                // Get segment name
                segmentName = DimensionAttribute::find(DimensionAttributeValue::find(segment.parmDimensionAttributeValueId()).DimensionAttribute).Name;
                //Get segment value (id of the dimension)
                segmentValue        = segment.parmDisplayValue();
                //Get segment value name (Description for dimension)
                segmentDescription  = segment.getName();
                ///info(strFmt("%1: %2, %3", segmentName, segmentValue, segmentDescription));
                if(segmentName == 'BusinessUnit')
                {
                    _ProcessingStagingTable.BusinessUnit = segmentValue;
                }
                else if(segmentName == 'LineOfBusiness')
                {
                    _ProcessingStagingTable.LineOfBusiness = segmentValue;
                }
                else if(segmentName == 'LineOfRevenue')
                {
                    _ProcessingStagingTable.LineOfRevenue = segmentValue;
                }
                else if(segmentName == 'Location')
                {
                    _ProcessingStagingTable.Location = segmentValue;
                }
                else if(segmentName == 'Department')
                {
                    _ProcessingStagingTable.Department = segmentValue;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Thats all from my side.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 DataDictionary Synchronization errors

There was a working environment of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 with data.

I just changed its database file without changing the model file.The database file was without data.

After attaching the database i try to synchronized the data dictionary.

After synchronization I got the following error message on around 18 tables:

Below is the screen shot of this error that i was getting

I also compared the ids of the objects on which I was getting the errors in the sqldictionary table and the AX environment but the ids were same.

After getting some help from the below links I deleted the table on which I was getting the sync errors in the SQL Server Management Studio and than sync that table on Micosoft Dynamics.

After doing the above steps on each of the table that's generates the errors my issue was resolved.

Below are the links for more info on this.
