Creating a new model in D365 F&O

-

Creating a new model:

A model, which is a collection of elements that represent a distributable software solution, can be created using a wizard.

  1. Start Visual Studio using Run as administrator.
  2. From the Dynamics 365 window, select Model Management > Create model to open the Create model wizard.

3.       It’ll open a wizard for creating a model. In this window, we can specify the model name and other parameters.
4.       Enter the following values for model parameters.

Property
Value
Model Name
MyModel
Model Publisher
xxxxxxxxx
Layer
CUS
Version
1.0.0.0
Model Description
This is model belongs to XXXX customizations
Model display name
 xxxxxxx


5.       Click Next to advance to the next page, and then select  Package from the two options.


6.       If “Select existing package” is chosen, that means we’ll be using our over-layering or customization development approach. In this, we must select a model that contains the elements we wish to customize as a referenced model in the wizard. In this way, our new model has access to those elements.

   7.       If “Create new package” is chosen, this implies we’re going to use the extension model approach. Developing this way allows us to access the elements from any models we selected as referenced models. We can create new elements and add functionality to the existing code.

   8.       In the “MyModel” model, we’re going to create a new package (we’re using the extension development approach). Select the “Create new package” option and click “Next.”
Now we’re going to select our referenced models. This means we’re choosing the other models for our “MyModel” model can see, or which elements it’ll have access to.
Here, we’ll select “ApplicationPlatform”, “ApplicationSuite”  and “ApplicationFoundation”  then choose “Next.”
9.       Click Next to advance to the Summary step.
10.   Verify the information on the summary page, and then select the Create new project and Make this my default model for new projects check boxes.
11.   Click Finish. The New Project dialog box opens.

Creating New Project

12.   This will open a screen to create a project. Here, gives the project name—in this case, “Test”—and click “OK.”



13.   This finalizes the model and project creation. It’ll open the project in the solution explorer, displaying the project and model names.

D365FO - Data integration by OData

There are many ways to integrate with D365F&O OData is one of them. This post show you how to do simple integration.  Simple architecture  of OData with 3rd party application There are 3 main steps: Create a table, data entity, and OData service endpoint  Register and prepare (OData client) application authentication in AAD and D365FO Create OData client application  Create a table, data entity, and OData service endpoint First, we create a sample 'MyCar' table. CarID, BrandName, SerieName and Color declared as string, Price as real, and PurchasedDate as date. Then create an index for CarID and set that index to be table's Primary Index.  Then create a data entity. After finished creating, note some data entities, tables, and security privileges are added into project. Now, re-check what we've just created. Table   https://yourboxmainurl/?mi=SysTableBrowser&TableName=MyCar&cmp=DEMF&limitednav=true&lng=en-us OData https://yourboxmainurl/d...

Create or Update Product attributes using X++ in D365 F&O

-
This code is to update or insert product attributes for a boolean value. Each item will have its own boolean value. We cannot update the existing boolean value for a new item. For the first time, we have to create the attribute value record id for the item and then you can update if you want to make changes to the value based on the record id.  Please change the code according to your requirement.     /// <summary>     ///  To create or update product attribute     /// </summary>     ///     public void createOrUpdateProductAttribute()     {         EcoResProduct                       product;         EcoResDistinctProductVariant        variant;         EcoResProductInstanceValue          ecoResProductInstanceValue;     ...

Layers concept in D365

-
Image
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.
