How to execute SQL directly form Dynamics AX X++

How to execute Sql directly form Dynamics AX X++

Reference by : alirazazaidi

Dynamics Ax provide many other ways to communicate with database, but sometimes we have to execute direct query to database. For example I have to delete all items form InventTable of particular company or dataArea. I execute it as follow.

Connection      connection;

Statement       statement;

str             query;

DataAreaId      currentDataArea; 

// create connection object

connection = new Connection();

// create statement

statement = connection.createStatement();

//Find current company

currentDataArea = curext();

if(! Box::yesNo(“You are in Company: ” + currentDataArea + “. Proceed to Delete?”,DialogButton::No))

{

return;

}

//Vendors delete

query = “delete from inventTable where dataAreaId = ‘” + currentDataArea + “‘”;

new SqlStatementExecutePermission(query).assert();

statement.executeUpdate(query);

CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();

info(“InventItems Deleted from Company: ” + currentDataArea);

Report deployment error "No report data table with name exists in report schema for data provider"

ISSUE:

When you deploy the report in Dynamics AX 2012 or D365F&O and you try to view the report and get the error "no report data table with name exists in report schema for data provider".

SOLUTION:

Just restart your report server service from the services console and the error will be resolved.

Accessing Data of other companies/Legal entities using X++

Hi,

In Microsoft Dynamics AX/D365 Finance and operation, users can setup multiple legal entities. By default in Microsoft Dynamics AX/D365 FO, all tables store data per company unless SaveDataPerCompany property is not changed to NO. By default value of property SaveDataPerCompany  = Yes.

Using crossCompany & changeCompany keyword, you can construct a query to retrieve all records, regardless of the company you are currently logged into. You can fetch the all the company records using keyword - crossCompany and function – changeCompany.

Change-Company:

static void main()

{

  CustTable custTable;

  changeCompany('INMF') 

  {

    custTable = null;

    while select custTable

    {

       //custTable of company 'INMF'.

    }

  }

}

Cross-Company:

static void main()

{

  CustTable custTable;

  while select crosscompany custTable

  {

      //custTable of all the companies

  }

}

Thank you,

How to drop SQL Server database currently in use and in Single user mode, MS SQL.

Avoiding "Divided by zero" error, X++

Hi,

Two ways to avoid the error "Divided by Zero".

int    a,b,c;

a = 2;

b = 0;

if(b)

    c = a / b;

else

    print "Cannot divide by zero"

//Output is "Cannot divide by zero" because "b" is zero so else statement will run.

(OR)

c  = a / minOne(b); 

//Output is C = 2, reason given below.

Function minOne() returns non zero values. If "b" is zero then it returns one.

Thank you,

Add or Minus Days in DateTime or Date Datatype, X++

Hi,

below you will find ways to add/minus days in "DateTime" or "Date" Datatype.

Example 1: Days add/minus in "DateTime" Datatype.

{

 utcDateTime         todayLessOneDay;

// Get the actual UTCDateTime based on the current system

todaysDateTime = DateTimeUtil::utcNow();

// Convert it to a string, just to show in on the info log

info(DateTimeUtil::toStr(todaysDateTime));

// Now less a day

todayLessOneDay = DateTimeUtil::addDays(todaysDateTime, -1);

// And Info it out again

info(DateTimeUtil::toStr(todayLessOneDay));

}

Example 2: Days add/minus in "Date" Datatype.

{

  TransDate transDate = today();

  ;

  transDate++;

  print transDate - 2;

  pause;

}

SSRS Date time Expression, AX/D365FO

SSRS Date Time Expressions

Date Time Functions of SSRS:

Below are Data time functions which are used in SSRS expressions:

To get current date and time according to system: 

Time:

=Format(CDate(Globals!ExecutionTime), "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm.ss") 

Date:

=FORMAT(Cdate(today), "dd-MM-yyyy")

Today() - Returns or sets a Date value containing the current date according to your system:

=Today()

="Tomorrow is " & DateAdd("d",1,Today())

="Tomorrow is " & DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,1,Today())

Now() - Returns or sets a Date value containing the current date according to your system.

=Now()

="This time tomorrow is " & DateAdd("d",1,Now())

="This time tomorrow is " & DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,1,Now())

MonthName - Returns a String value containing the name of the specified month.

=MonthName(10,True)

=MonthName(Month(Fields!BirthDate.Value),False)

="The month of your birthday is "&MonthName(Month(Fields!BirthDate.Value))

WeekDayName - Returns a String value containing the name of the specified weekday.

=WeekdayName(2,True,0)

=WeekDayName(DatePart("w",Fields!BirthDate.Value),True,0)

=WeekDayName(DatePart(DateInterval.Weekday,Fields!BirthDate.Value),True,FirstDayOfWeek.System)

Year  - Returns an Integer value from 1 through 9999 representing the year.

=Year(Fields!BirthDate.Value)

To format Date values through expressions:

=Format(Today(),"dd-MM-yyyy") --- 23-10-2015

=Format(today(),"dd/MM/yyyy") --- 23/10/2015

=Format(today(),"MMM-dd-yyyy") --- Oct-23-2015

=Format(today(),"MMM-dd-yy") --- Oct-23-15

=FORMAT(Today(),"M/d/yy") ---10/23/15

=FORMAT(Today(),"MM-dd-yyyy") ---10-23-2015

=FORMAT(Today(),"MMM-dd-yyyy") Oct-23-2015 

=FORMAT(Today(),"MMMM dd, yyyy") ---October 23, 2015 =FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss") ---Oct 23, 2015 01:43:33 =FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss") ---Oct 23, 2015 13:43:33 =FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff") ---Oct 23, 2015 13:43:33.587

=FORMAT(DateField,"MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss tt") ---Oct 23, 2015 01:43:33 PM

To add/substract date or time(day, month, year, sec etc.) with given date field we can use DateADD function in SSRS expression, which returns a Date value containing a date and time value to which a specified time interval has been added:

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, 6, Today())

=DateAdd("d",3,Fields!BirthDate.Value)

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,3,Fields!BirthDate.Value)

DateDiff - function returns a Long value specifying the number of time intervals between two Date values.

=DateDiff("yyyy",Fields!BirthDate.Value,"1/1/2010")

=DateDiff(DateInterval.Year,Fields!BirthDate.Value,"1/1/2010")

DatePart - Returns an Integer value containing the specified component of a given Date value.

=DatePart("q",Fields!BirthDate.Value,0,0)

=DatePart(DateInterval.Quarter,Fields!BirthDate.Value,FirstDayOfWeek.System,FirstWeekOfYear.System)

To get first day of current Week:

=DateAdd("d",-DatePart(DateInterval.WeekDay,Today,0,0)+1,Today)

To get first day of current Month:

=DateAdd("d",-(Day(today)-1), Today)

=DateSerial( year(today()), month(today()), 1)
