Increasing the EDT string size in D365 F&O

-


  •  Right-click on the extended EDT from the project and select Open

  •  The EDT extension will be open in Window and the properties window will be enabled        
  •  The EDT extension will be open in Window and the properties window will be enabled
  • Go to the string size property under properties
  • Click on the string size and make the necessary changes (EX: increasing the size to 15)
 

    String size
a)      You can only modify the value if the EDT does not extend from another EDT.
b)      You can only set the new String size to a value equal to or larger than the base EDT value
  •     After changing the size, database synchronization needs to be done to affect the new string size  

Note: String size change is not visible in the Application Explorer. You can validate the same in the user interface or in the database.

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.

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.
