AX 2012 - Refresh form data

A Subroutine of you called refreshs data. Form's data doesn't refresh. To solve this issue you have to call first research and then refresh. Research doesn't broke your query filters and if you call it with true parameter it goes to current record after refresh:

    LedgerJournalTrans_DS.research(true);
    LedgerJournalTrans_DS.refresh();

If your subroutine is a SysOperation class and your screen doesn't refresh anyway, don't forget add this to your controller class:

 controller.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Asynchronous);

If you don't, your research and refresh methods run before your classes completed it's job.

AX 2012 - Default dimension

//http://axvuongbao.blogspot.com.tr/2013/08/how-to-create-default-dimension-from-x.html
public static DimensionDefault CreateDefaultDim(Container _a,Container _v)
{

    DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage   valueSetStorage = new DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage();
    DimensionDefault                               result;
    int                                                      i;
    DimensionAttribute                            dimensionAttribute;
    DimensionAttributeValue                   dimensionAttributeValue;
    //_attr is dimension name in table DimensionAttribute
    container               conAttr  =  _a;
    container               conValue =   _v;
    boolean                 _createIfNotFound = true;
    str                     dimValue;

    for (i = 1; i <= conLen(conAttr); i++)
    {
        dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findByName(conPeek(conAttr,i));

        if (dimensionAttribute.RecId == 0)
        {
            continue;
        }

        dimValue = conPeek(conValue,i);

        if (dimValue != "")
        {
            // _createIfNotFound is "true". A dimensionAttributeValue record will be created if not found.
            dimensionAttributeValue=
                    dimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue(dimensionAttribute,dimValue,false,_createIfNotFound);

            // Add the dimensionAttibuteValue to the default dimension
            valueSetStorage.addItem(dimensionAttributeValue);
        }
    }
    result = valueSetStorage.save();

    return result;
}

Sample usage:

LedgerJournalTrans.DefaultDimension = MyUtility::CreateDefaultDim("[Contract],[Project]","[0001],[MyBigProject]")

If you get Unable to return DimensionAttributeValue record for ... error than you try create a dimension combination values unavailable in system.

AX 2012 - Query; set Date value with strfmt.

If you want to set date value with strfmr for Axapta queries you have to use Date2StrXpp function:

...   
QBR2.value(strFmt(' ( TransDate >= %1 )' , Date2StrXpp(TransDate) ));
...

AX 2012 Add validate method, groupping and labeling parameters with RDP class

Class Declaration:

[
    DataContractAttribute,
    SysOperationGroupAttribute("DateGroup", "Date Range", "1", FormArrangeMethod::Vertical),
    SysOperationGroupAttribute("Other", "Other Filters", "1", FormArrangeMethod::Vertical)
]
class myContract implements SysOperationValidatable
{
...
}

Parm method:

[DataMemberAttribute('StartDate'),
SysOperationGroupMemberAttribute("DateGroup"),
SysOperationDisplayOrderAttribute("1")]
public StartDate parmStartDate(StartDate _StartDate = startDate)
{
   startDate = _StartDate;
   return StartDate;
}

Validate method:

public boolean validate()
{
    boolean isValid = true;
    if ( !endDate || !StartDate)
        isValid = checkfailed("You have to enter first/last dates!..");

    return isValid;
}

AX 2012 Add Query to SSRS report when developing with RDP

Add query attribute to data provider class:

[
    SRSReportQueryAttribute (querystr(Cust)),
    SRSReportParameterAttribute(classstr(myReportContract))
]
class myReportDP extends SRSReportDataProviderBase
{
    ...
}
Get query like this:

[SysEntryPointAttribute(false)]
public void processReport()
{
    QueryRun                    qRun;
    Query                       query;
     ...
    query = this.parmQuery();
    ...


Do not forget make Dynamics Filter property to true at SSRS report Dataset if you want to see select query button.

AX 2012 - How to read/write Vendor/Customer to LedgerJournalTrans table?

This information store in ledgerDimension field. When writing:

LedgerJournalTrans.LedgerDimension    = DimensionStorage::getDynamicAccount(myVendAccount, LedgerJournalACType::Vend);

When reading you can look up for AccountDisplay or accountNameFind methods or:

DimensionStorage::ledgerDimension2AccountNum(ledgerJournalTrans.OffsetLedgerDimension)
DimensionStorage::ledgerDimension2AccountNum(ledgerJournalTrans.LedgerDimension)

CustTable::findByLedgerDimension(ledgerJournalTrans.LedgerDimension)                                                     VendTable::findByLedgerDimension(ledgerJournalTrans.LedgerDimension)
