Course 8643:
Development IV in Microsoft Dynamics™ AX 4.0
(Format: 4-day under the direction of practice Instructor-Led Training)
!!!This course teaches the student advanced X++ development techniques and examines how the Microsoft Dynamics AX application is structured.
At Course Completion:
After completing this course, students will: Be aware of the availability, functionality and use of some more advanced functions and procedures; Feel comfortable with the more complex and involved processes within Microsoft Dynamics AX; Understand how the standard application has been designed and to apply similar design ideas to their own modifications; Know how to integrate modifications into Microsoft Dynamics AX correctly and efficiently; Be able to apply the technical knowledge they already have to application design to produce consistent, efficient and workable solutions; Be able to easily identify possible areas where changes need to be made due to modifications required or bugs found
Prerequisites: Before attending this course, students must: Have completed Microsoft Dynamics AX Development III: X++ Advanced; Be familiar with the development tool suite; Be able to make changes to the Data Dictionary including best practices with regards to design and implementation; Be able to create and implement forms; Be able to manipulate data within forms, including building queries, display and edit methods; Be able to create and implement classes; Understand the main concepts of Object Oriented Design (OOD), including inheritance, overriding & overloading, polymorphism, constructors and static methods; Be familiar with Exception handling; Be familiar with foundation classes; Be familiar with the RunBase set of classes; Have a basic knowledge of the application.
Certification Exams: Microsoft Dynamics AX Programming
Course Outline:
Chapter 1. Development Guidelines: This chapter covers some advanced X++ functions that are used frequently in the application, and that the student may not be familiar with.
Chapter 2. Writing Secure Code: The Microsoft trustworthy computing goals are designed to deliver the level of trust and responsibility that people expect from the computing industry.
Chapter 3. Number Sequences: Number sequences are created and used by all programmers regularly. This chapter highlights the correct way to create a new number sequence and how to use a number sequence in code. It also explores the more advanced options available.
Chapter 4. Print Job Settings: Print Job Settings are used to control and retrieve settings when writing to a printer. This chapter details how to use these correctly.
Chapter 5. Business Connector: When using the Microsoft Dynamics™ AX Business Connector, other applications can access Microsoft Dynamics AX as a .NET or COM object. This means that the application can gain access to the data and business logic of Microsoft DAX, which enables the use of such applications as front ends, to Microsoft DAX.
Chapter 6. XML: This chapter explores the use of XML within Microsoft Dynamics AX. It gives the student an idea of some of the possibilities available with XML and gives examples of where XML is used today.
Chapter 7. ActiveX: In this chapter the student learns how to add Active-X controls, how to manipulate them and how to find more information about how to use other active-x controls
Chapter 8. DLL: This chapter discusses DLL’s. It describes what they are, how they are created and how to use them in Microsoft DAX 4.0.
Chapter 9. CLR Integration: TBD
Chapter 10. Ledger: This chapter helps the student understand two methods of posting transactions to the General Ledger. Due to the many varied situations that this could occur, there are a number of ways to approach this.
Chapter 11. Trade: The most common area for modifications in Microsoft Dynamics AX is the sales and purchase updates. This chapter explores the FormLetter constructs, and takes the students throught the code. There are also an number of journals associated with these modules and the are also be discussed.
Chapter 12. Inventory: This chapter explores both ways in which to post inventory transactions, and also how to manipulate inventory dimension during both posting and when retrieving data. Inventory dimension are discussed in detail and once the student has seen examples of how to use them, they will understand the concept easily.
Chapter 13. Production: This chapter introduces the student to the workings of the production module. The update of production order status is introduced as well as the requirement calculation
Chapter 14. Project: This chapter introduces the project module and some of the basic constructs within it. The student will learn to create the different types of journals, how invoice proposals are created and how invoices are posted.
Chapter 15. Application Integration Framework: In this chapter the student will learn about how Microsoft Dynamics AX integrates with other applications by exchanging XML documents.
Chapter 16. Case Study: This chapter outlines the case study that will be undertaken throughout the course. As the different technical and application specific areas are taught, the POS module is developed. This chapter introduces the initial basic design from which the student will build the module, and the students contribute to their own final design.
