Auto Create Classes

I think we all have this little archive of code that we use again and again in AX.

So i have made to different tools for handling these code snippets, and here is the first one of them, the Auto Create Class tool.

So really simply told when you run the Class, you select witch Class type to generate, then the name and/or further parameters for the Class you are making.

At the moment the Class can create these Class Types:

  • Std_Run,  Simple class with Main and Run methods.
  • Std_DialogBatch,  Class that can run in Batch and has a Dialog
  • Std_Exp2Excel,  Class for exporting data to Excel, typically a Table, but could be anything.

But i hope to add on to this list as more stuff comes up, if you have any ideas write a comment with it, and i will have a look.

If you want to use this tool you can download a zip file with the tool from the links below.
The Zip file contains,
  • 1 project export file with the elements needed in AX (PrivateProject_DevCreateClasses.xpo)
  • 3 xpo's with exports of the templates for the Standard Classes.
The 3 xpo files are needed for the Class as templates for the Classes it needs to create, so you need to keep them in a Folder you have access to from the AX Client.
You will need to make one correction in the classDeclaration of the DevCreateClasses Class.

You will need to change the file location in line 4 to where you have put the xpo's
This is how the line looks in the method:
    #define.ExportFilePath(@'C:\TEMP\DevCreateClasses\')

For Dynamics AX 2012 (link)

The Class still needs work, so it's a little messy, sorry about that.
AX 2009 version missing.

Dynamics AX use of the startupcmd parameter

If you start ax32.exe with -startupcmd you can use this to automate some tasks. Like for instance this command will perform a full compile of all elements in AX. ax32.exe -startupcmd=CompileAll Here is a full list of all the startupcmd parameters in AX2009 and AX2012. The code that controls this can be found in Class SysStartupCmd method construct. You can also add your own commands by adding them to this method. Command AX2009 Command AX2012 Usage setbuildno setbuildno Updates the version information text in the About Microsoft Dynamics AX dialog  updatebuildno updatebuildno Synchronize the Build Number Between the Application and Database  synchronize synchronize Synchronizes the data dictionary  compileall compileall Compiles the application  compilepartial Compiles the application and updates Crossreference

Axapta Manager (AxDynManagerV1.03)

I previously made a program to list, start and stop Dynamics AX Services. But i always through that is missed a few features, so now I am starting on this new version. ( Download link )  This is version 1.03 see change list at the end of the post. In this version the big thing i added was that you can now start/stop and restart more that one service in one go. The program is tested for AX 2009 and AX 2012. When you start the program this is what you will see: On the left you will see the list of services that you have, and on the right the list of possible AX configurations. Config menu. Under the menu item, Tools/Config, you can change the programs settings. Here you can add/remove computers to look for services on. To remove a computer from the list, double click on the item. To add a computer, input its name in the text box, and press the "Add" button, or enter. The refresh field controls how often the service list will be refres

This version will still handle list, start and stop of services, but also restart of services, and i t will also support multiple servers. And as something new i have added the possibility to start your Dynamics AX from the program, supporting multiple configurations. The program is tested for AX 2009 and AX 2012.
