Map & MapEnumerator Objects in Ax 2009

Hi friends, Today we are going to see about map and map enumerator . Maps are used to store the data just like temporary tables. It is much quicker than temporary tables. The critical difference is that even though Map resembles a table at first glance, it does not contain data but functions rather as a library of methods intended to be shared by several tables. Maps can be used in different locations , and you need to act on those values. Map Example:: Map M; ; M = new map(type::integer,type::integer); M.insert(custTable.RecId,custTable.custGroup); M.valueSet(); // Retrieving the values from the map M.exist(custTable.RecId); M.lookUp(CustTable.RecId); This is a wonderful way to look up the value because you have the exact key. What if you wanted to transverse or enumrate through a given map to act on each value. This would be similar to moving through a resultset, etc: MapEnumerator ME; ; ME = new MapEnumerator(M); while(ME.moveNext()) { // .. preform some logic .. } With this you can now walk through or enumrate through a given map and act upon each value stored in it. Like I said, Maps are very cool, easy to use, and much faster and preferred than using a temp table. Check back soon for more posting on code examples, how to's, etc. Vivek Chirumamilla

Record Level Security in Ax 2009

Hi friends,

Today we are going to discuss Record Level Security in Ax 2009. Record level Security button is found in Administration => Setup => Security => RecordLevelSecurity

After that press Cntrl+N to create a record , the wizard will be opened. Click all the tables which you want to create record level security and finish it.

There will be a query button which you can add ranges to it.


This RLS is restricted to particular company only and the RLS is limited to particular group only .

Note :: To arrange restrictions on the particular group use SysQueryRangeUtil class.
