restore MorphX Version control

When an Ax environment is setup for version control with MorphX, there are times when the database needs to be restored, or another database is required to be used instead. This causes the loss of all version control data. Ax has some standard tables where it stores all this data which can be backed up and restored.
The tables used by Ax for MorphX version control are:

  • SYSVERSIONCONTROLMORPHXITE2541
  • SYSVERSIONCONTROLMORPHXLOC2542
  • SYSVERSIONCONTROLMORPHXREV2543
  • SYSVERSIONCONTROLPARAMETERS
  • SYSVERSIONCONTROLSYNCHRONI1982

However due to certain Ax frameworks its just not a straight copy.

The Backup procedure:

In this procedure, i create an SSIS task and add it to a Job that runs nightly backing up data from the tables specified above to a seperate database, which is then completely backed up. This is a simple “export data” functionality within SQL, and saved in the SSIS and attached to a job.

The restore procedure:

This is where a similar export data from the backup database is done to the Ax database. There are a couple of things that need to be done before importing the data. Assuming that a different database has been restored, and Ax is compiled and syncronized.

  1. Ax does not create the tables defined above on syncronization. The parameters for MorphX need to be turned on.
  2. After setting up MorphX version control, go to Tools –> Development tools –> Version Control –> Setup –> System Settings –> click Ok.
    This creates the version control XML file definition and checks it out (Resources\SysVersionControlSystemMorphXDefFile). Check this file in and we are ready to
  3. Shut down the AOS to avoid any conflicts
  4. Import the data from the 5 tables defined above into the Ax database
  5. Now this is where we need to reset the record Id’s of Ax. To do so open SQL and run the following commands on the Ax database
    Update systemSequences Set nextval = (select max(RecId) + 1 from SYSVERSIONCONTROLMORPHXREV2543) Where tabid = 2543;
    Update systemSequences Set nextval = (select max(RecId) + 1 from SYSVERSIONCONTROLMORPHXITE2541) Where tabid = 2541;
  6. After starting the AOS the version control should be restored

Running runnable class through URL in Dynamics 365 for Operations

Hi Everyone , There are multiple ways you can run Runnable class. One way is we can attach it to Menu item and add it to any form and execute it using menu item. Another way is set it up you project as startup object and runnable class as startup object in Visual Studio and run it from Visual studio. Another way of running it is from your browser (IE/Chrome). https:// URL> /?cmp= &mi=SysClassRunner&cls= Parameters: Cmp = Your company name e.g USMF Cls = Your Runnable class name e.g. ShowInvoicedOrderCount https://usnconeboxax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com/?cmp=USMF&mi=SysClassRunner&cls=ShowInvoicedOrderCount Whenever you want to quickly verify anything this way is very useful and you don’t have to spent time seeing while visual studio opens diagnostic tool and load other windows.

D365FO Use of FileUpload control to Read CSV file

Image
In Dynamics Ax implementation very often we get requirement to upload data using csv files. Although  in Dynamics 365 for operations it can be easily done using data entities and data packages, in this blog we will see how can we use new FileUpload control and design classes to read, download files. In   Dynamics 365 for operations  application runs on cloud and the client is in web , so Microsoft has introduce new process to read files using Azure blob. When we upload file, that file gets uploaded to Azure blob and we have to read that file from Azure blob to retrieve data. Design classes: There are two main types of classes that developers can work with for the file upload control: Upload strategy class  – This class lets developers control various parameters that should be enforced for uploaded files, such as the types of files that a user can upload and the maximum size of a file. It also lets developers determine where and how ...
