Layers : Layers are the traditional AX concept but in D365, there is a new process where we extend layers as shown below. Also when you create your model, you specify which layer the model is going to live in. However the importance of layer is quite minimal for instance, you are not required to provide a key for your model to live in that layer. Previously layers were a single stack of code that over-layered upon each other. This new process uses layers but they are located in independent stacks. This was only an architectural overview of Dynamics AX 365.

D365 Basics (Architeture, Models, Packages, Files)

Models Projects and Packages in D365 Today we will highlight an important architectural change in Dynamics AX 365. In AX 2012, the only option we had was over-layering for any sort of customization/modification in the out of box functionality. We had models/projects as a set of elements, as the part of a given layer. Each layer can have one or more models/projects. Models can be exported to files that have the .axmodel extension and projects can be exported to xpo file. In Ax 2012, models’ files and XPO's are used for deployment purpose.  How do we customize or modify any element in DAX365? In DAX365, we have same elements reside in Application Explorer and these elements are objects such as tables, forms, and classes, menu items, etc. Customization of any object is done once it is added into a project and a project is linked or associated with a model. Model: Unlike AX2012 In DAX365, creating a model is a mandatory thing for any sort of customization. A partic...
