AX 2012 - Run Questionnaires with X++ and get Answer table answer Id

There are lots of pages about questionnaires at the web. So I won't tell anything about using and run
questionnaires from menus.

KMCollection - Questionnaire records table. kmCollectionId is key field.

KMVirtualNetworkAnswerTable - Answers table.  kmVirtualNetworkAnswerTableId is key field. Result is saved at evaluation field as failed/passed or empty.
KMVirtualNetworkAnswerLine - Answers lines table.

Run Questionnaire with code:
  
KMQuestionnaireRun       o = new CrsKMQuestionnaireRun();
 
o.set(KMQuestionnaireRunMode::All,myKMCollectionId, DirPersonUser::find(curUserId()).party());
o.run();
Run Answer form with code:

KMVirtualNetworkAnswerTable answerTable;
Args                        args = new Args();
RecId                       recId = DirPersonUser::find(curUserId()).party();
 
select firstOnly answerTable
        where answerTable.kmVirtualNetworkAnswerTableId == this.AnswerId;
args.record(answerTable);args.caller(o);
    new MenuFunction(menuItemDisplayStr(KMKnowledgeCollectorUserResults), MenuItemType::Display).run(args);

I extended KMQuestionnaireRun_Win32 class for save KMVirtualNetworkAnswerTable's ID field to my table at my caller form:

class myKMQuestionnaireRun extends KMQuestionnaireRun_Win32
{
    recId   myRecId;
}

I added a parm method for save caller table RecId:

RecId  parmMyRecId(RecId _recId = myRecId)
{
    myRecId =_recId;
    return myRecId;
}

Derived end method of MQuestionnaireRun_Win32:

public void end(KMVirtualNetworkAnswerTableId _kmVirtualNetworkAnswerTableId)
{
    myCallerTable    tbl; //Questionnaries formunu çağıran tablo

    super(_kmVirtualNetworkAnswerTableId);
    if (_kmVirtualNetworkAnswerTableId == "")
        return;
  
      ttsBegin;
        update_recordSet tbl setting AnswerId = _kmVirtualNetworkAnswerTableId
            where tbl.RecId == myRecId;
        ttsCommit;
}
 
And call from my table:
...
myKMQuestionnaireRun       o = new myKMQuestionnaireRun();
myQTable            c;


    o.parmMyRecId(this.RecId);
    o.set(KMQuestionnaireRunMode::All,this.KMCollectionId, DirPersonUser::find(curUserId()).party());

    o.run();
...

AXAPTA - Invent on hand

//source: http://microsoft-dynamics-ax-erp.blogspot.com.tr/2012/07/find-inventonhand-in-axapta-x.html
static InventOnHand findOnHandByLocationId(ItemId _itemId, InventLocationId _inventLocationId = "")
{
    InventDim           inventDim;
    InventDimParm       inventDimParm;
    InventOnHand        inventOnHand = new InventOnHand();
    ;

    if (_inventLocationId == "")
         return InventOnhand::newItemId(_itemId);

    //Take a combination of dimension , against which you want to find the stock
    inventDim.InventLocationId  = _inventLocationId;

    //Set the flag for the selected dimensions as active
    inventDimParm.initFromInventDim(inventDim);

    //Initialize the inventSumDateDim with Date,item,dimension and dim parameter
    inventOnHand = InventOnHand::newParameters(_itemid,
                                               inventDim,
                                               inventDimParm);

    return inventOnHand;
}

AXAPTA - Clear left open QTY's at a transfer order

If a transfer order haven't got completed and that left QTY's related with an output order and reserved, Functions->Deliver remainder->Cancel quantity button will not work. It'll get an error about "there's not enough QTY with ordered" and quit. It's about that QTY reserved with output order and can't unreserve (At least I couldn't a way) direct with one line code. If you even unreserve from menu, relation will still stay and you'll get that error again. In first tie with output order should be break. I couldn't a way break relation with standart code and found this way, it seem works:

    InventTransferTable header;
    InventTransferLine  line;
    WMSOrderTrans       orderTrans;
    InventTrans         inventTrans;
    ;
    while select header
            where header.TransferId == myTransferId
        join forupdate line
            where line.TransferId == header.TransferId &&
                  (line.QtyRemainReceive > 0 || line.QtyRemainShip>0) 
    {
        ttsbegin;
        while select orderTrans
            where orderTrans.inventTransId == line.InventTransId &&
                  orderTrans.expeditionStatus != WMSExpeditionStatus::Complete &&
                  orderTrans.expeditionStatus != WMSExpeditionStatus::Cancelled &&
                  orderTrans.expeditionStatus != WMSExpeditionStatus::CancelledSW
        {
            WmsPickingLineCancel::newWMSPickingLineCancel(orderTrans).run();
        }
        while select forupdate inventTrans
            where (inventTrans.StatusIssue == StatusIssue::ReservPhysical ||
                   (inventTrans.TransChildRefId != "" &&
                    inventTrans.TransChildType == InventTransChildType::WMSOrder) ) &&
                  inventTrans.InventTransId == line.InventTransId
        {
            inventTrans.TransChildRefId = "";
            inventTrans.TransChildType = InventTransChildType::None;
            inventTrans.update();
            InventUpd_Reservation::newInventDim(InventMovement::construct(inventTrans,InventMovSubType::None),
                inventtrans.inventDim(),2,false).updateNow();
        }
        line.QtyRemainReceive = 0;
        line.QtyRemainShip    = 0;
        line.AutoReservation = NoYes::No;
        line.update();
        ttscommit;

AXAPTA - Cancel a WMS picking list or cancel line of picking list

Cancel whole list:

WMSPickingRouteCancel::newWMSPickingRoute(wMSPickingRoute).run(); 

Cancel a line:

WMSPickingLineCancel::newWMSPickingLineCancel(wMSOrderTrans).run(); 

AXAPTA - Sign function doesn't work correctly

Sign function doesn't work correctly in AX 2009 and 2012. It should returns -1 for negative numbers, 0 for zero and +1 for positive numbers. But  it gives -1 for negative and +1 for others.

Sign at Global:

static real sign(real num)
{
    return num >= 0 ? 1 : -1;
}

My correction:

static int sign(real num)
{
   if (num < 0)
    return -1;
   else
    return num > 0 ? 1 : 0;
}

AXAPTA - Creating picking list

I created a class for me from found solution from a forum page :

class KRC_WMSOrder
{
    WMSShipment         wmsShipment;
    SalesTable          salesTable;
    WMSPickingRoute     wmsPickingRoute;
    WMSPickingRouteLink wmsPickingRouteLink;
    salesLine           salesLine;
}

void createOrderLine(Qty _qty = salesLine.RemainSalesPhysical)
{

    InventMovement                  inventMovement;
    WMSOrder                        wmsOrder;
    WMSOrderCreate                  orderCreate;
    WMSOrderTrans                   wmsOrderTrans;
    ;
    inventMovement = InventMovement::construct(salesLine);
    orderCreate = WMSOrderCreate::newMovement(inventMovement,_qty);
    orderCreate.parmMustBeWMSOrderControlled(true);
    orderCreate.parmQty(_qty);
    orderCreate.parmMaxQty(_qty);
    orderCreate.run();
    wmsOrder = orderCreate.parmWMSOrder();
    wmsOrder.updateShipment(wmsShipment,_qty, wmsPickingRoute.PickingRouteID);
}

void createWmsPickingRoute()
{
    ;
    wmsPickingRoute.clear();
    wmsPickingRoute.initTypeOrderPick(wmsShipment, WMSExpeditionStatus::Activated,
        WMSPickRequestTable::construct(salesTable),"", true);
    wmsPickingRoute.ActivationDateTime = DateTimeUtil::utcNow();
    wmsPickingRoute.insert();
}

void createWmsPickingRouteLink()
{
    ;
    wmsPickingRouteLink.clear();
    wmsPickingRouteLink.initFromSalesTable(salesTable);
    wmsPickingRouteLink.initFromWMSPickingRoute(wmsPickingRoute);
    wmsPickingRouteLink.insert();
}

void createWmsShipment()
{
    ;
    wmsShipment.clear();
    wmsShipment.initTypeOrderPick();
    wmsShipment.insert();
}

SalesLine  parmSalesLine(SalesLine _salesLine = salesLine)
{
    ;
    salesLine = _salesLine;
    return salesLine;
}

SalesTable  parmSalesTable(SalesTable _salesTable = salesTable)
{
    ;
    salesTable = _salesTable;
    return salesTable;
}

void reserveItem(Qty _qty = salesLine.RemainSalesPhysical)
{
    InventUpd_Reservation   invUpdReservation;
    ;
    invUpdReservation = InventUpd_Reservation::newInventDim(InventMovement::construct(salesLine,InventMovSubType::None),
        salesLine.inventDim(),_qty,false);
    invUpdReservation.updateNow();
}

Sample usage:

KRC_WMSOrder            kWMS = new krc_wmsorder();
kWMS.createWmsShipment();
;
ttsbegin;
kWMS.parmSalesTable(salesTable);
kWMS.createWmsPickingRoute();
kWMS.createWmsPickingRouteLink();
kWMS.parmSalesLine(salesLine);
kWMS.reserveItem();
kWMS.createOrderLine();
ttscommit;

AXAPTA - How to disable auto filter in a form came with args parameter

I found the solution from a forum page :


KRC_PlanWaves_DS.query().dataSourceNo(1).clearDynalinks();

AXAPTA - Solve of turkish letter problem when send mail with sysmailer class

I found this solution from a blog which I cannot remember. Turkish letters (or another special letters with some languages) will not shown when send mail with sysMailer class if you won't add this red line:


   SysEmailParameters  parameters;
    SysMailer           mailer;
    ;
    new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ComInterop).assert();
        parameters = SysEmailParameters::find();

        mailer = new SysMailer();
        if (parameters.SMTPRelayServerName)
        {
            mailer.SMTPRelayServer(parameters.SMTPRelayServerName,
                               parameters.SMTPPortNumber,
                               parameters.SMTPUserName,
                               SysEmailParameters::password(),
                               parameters.NTLM);
        }
        else
        {
            mailer.SMTPRelayServer(parameters.SMTPServerIPAddress,
                               parameters.SMTPPortNumber,
                               parameters.SMTPUserName,
                               SysEmailParameters::password(),
                               parameters.NTLM);
        }
        mailer.fromAddress(fromAddr);
        mailer.tos().appendAddress(toAddr);
        mailer.subject(subject);
        //solution for turkish letter problem (ÖöÇçĞğÜüŞşİı):
        mailer.bodyCharSet("Windows-1254");        if(FileName)
            mailer.attachments().add(FileName);
        mailer.ccs().appendAddress(ccAddr);
        mailer.bccs().appendAddress(bccAddr);
        mailer.htmlBody(body);
        mailer.sendMail();
    }
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();

AXAPTA - Find a table fields label value

There are two ways to find a table field's label value:

If fields label value derived from directly fields extended data type:
 
    if (curext()=="krc" && this.RBOInventItemGroupId == "")
        ret = checkfailed(strfmt("'%1' field cannot be empty!..",
            new SysDictType(extendedTypeNum(RBORetailGroupId)).label()));
If there is a special label value dedicated at table level:

    if (curext()=="krc" && this.RBOInventItemGroupId == "")
        ret = checkfailed(strfmt("'%1' field cannot be empty!..",
            new SysDictField(tablenum(WholeSalesCampaignGroup),
fieldnum(WholeSalesCampaignGroup,RBOInventItemGroupId)).label()));
 

AXAPTA - Prevent user to change filter from grid header

SysQuery::findOrCreateRange(InventDim_DS.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(InventDim)),fieldnum(InventDim,InventSiteId)).status(RangeStatus::Locked);

AX 2009 - Run report at back ground as PDF output

Make Interactive property of report as No. It's easy make it as run for html with change  PrintMedium enum's value.

     DocuType                docuType;
    TextIo                  textIo;
    FileIOPermission        fioPermission;
    #File
    ReportRun report;
    ;

    docuType = DocuType::find("Temp");
    fileName = strfmt(@"%1My Test Report.PDF",   docuType.ArchivePath);
   
    fioPermission = new FileIOPermission(fileName ,"RW");
    fioPermission.assert();

    if(Global::isRunningOnServer())
    {
        if(WinAPIServer::fileExists(fileName))
            WINAPIServer::deleteFile(fileName);
    }
    else
    {
        if(WinAPI::fileExists(fileName))
            WINAPI::deleteFile(fileName);
    }

    report = new ReportRun(new  Args(ReportStr(KRC_InventCoverReport)));
    report.printJobSettings().setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
    report.printJobSettings().preferredTarget(PrintMedium::File);
    report.printJobSettings().format(PrintFormat::PDF);
    report.printJobSettings().fileName(fileName);
    report.query().interactive(false);
    report.run();

Axapta - Why sometimes MultiSelectionHelper and why sometimes traditional read?

That's the  traditional way to read selected records from a grid:

 c = CustTable_DS.getFirst(true);
 while (c.RecId != 0)
 {
      info(c.Name);
      c = CustTable_DS.getNext();
 }

But there's a problem with this way. If user just wants to process records at line instead of select a couple of records unfortunately that record will be missed. That's the workaround for this symptom:


c = CustTable_DS.getFirst(true);
noSelected = true;
while (c.RecId != 0)
{
     noSelected = false;
     info(c.Name);
     c = CustTable_DS.getNext();
}
if  (noSelected)
    info(CustTable.Name);

MultiSelectionHelper solves this problem:

 MultiSelectionHelper helper = MultiSelectionHelper::construct();
CustTable c;
;
helper.parmDatasource(CustTable_ds);

c = helper.getFirst();
while (c.RecId != 0)
{
      info(c.Name);
      c = helper.getNext();
}


But there is a disadvantage for MultiSelectionHelper class too. If user wants to sort records at grid and wants to process with this sorted list we have to use traditional way again  because unfortunately MultiSelectionHelper doesn't care about users sort.

Using MultiselectionHelper from a class:

public static void main(Args _args)
{
    SMAServiceOrderTable    serviceOrder;
    MultiSelectionHelper    helper;
    FormRun                 caller = _args.caller();
    FormDataSource          SMAServiceOrderTable_DS;
  
    SMAServiceOrderTable_DS = caller.dataSource();
    helper = MultiSelectionHelper::createFromCaller(caller);
    helper.createQueryRanges(SMAServiceOrderTable_DS.queryBuildDataSource(),fieldStr(SMAServiceOrderTable,RecId));
    
    serviceOrder = helper.getFirst();
    
    while(serviceOrder)
    {
        info(strFmt("%1",serviceOrder.RecId));
        serviceOrder = helper.getNext();
    }
}

Axapta - Add dimension based filter to a query

When we try to add filter based on StrFmt  like this; dimension[2] = "0001" it gives error because of brackets. I found the solution from a  forum page :

QueryBuildDataSource    qbds = query.addDataSource(tablenum(EmplTable));
...
 qbds.addRange(fieldid2Ext(fieldnum(EmplTable, Dimension),1)).value("600742");
