Rudi’s Dynamics AX Techinal/Development blog

I previously made a program to list, start and stop Dynamics AX Services. But i always thought that is missed a few features, so now I am starting on this new version. ( Download link )  This is version 1.01 see change list at the end of the post. 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. 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.

For some time now i wanted a tool that would show me the progress of a Compilation in AX, so i made this little tool. It uses the AOT compile log, that you can enable in AX2012, by going to Tools\Options\Development\Compiler And put a tick in AOT log: Ax will now generate a compilation log in the given folder named AOTComp.log Now my program will look at that logfile and from that calculate and show a progress bar for the compilation progress. Right now the program might be very buggy since this is the first version, and also it will only look for the logfile under the current users Microsoft\Dynamics AX\Log folder, but i will change that in later versions. Also the program needs to "run as Administrator", i will see if i can fix that also. You can download the program from this link ( AXCompileProgressV1.00.zip ) Please do leave a comment if you find the program useful, have a bug or a suggestion for a change.
