How to open a form in runtime in Ax 2012

Hi Friends,

Today we are going to open a form in runtime in Ax 2012.

There are two ways of opening a form in runtime in Ax 2012.
Below given codes are for just example.

The first type of opening a form is given below

client static Object OpenToolBar()
{
Object toolBarForm = null;
Args args = new Args();
;
args.name(formStr(formName));
toolBarForm = classFactory.formRunClass(args);
toolBarForm.init();
toolBarForm.run();
toolBarForm.detach();
return toolBarForm;
}

The second type is given below

client static Object getToolBarObject()
{
ObjectIdent objIdent = infolog.globalCache().get(formStr(formname),null,null);
Object toolBarForm = objIdent ? objIdent.object() : null;
;
if(!toolBarForm)
{
toolBarForm = S3SecurityToolBarOpen::OpenToolBar();
}
else
toolBarForm.setActive();

return toolBarForm;
}

Dict Class in Ax 2012

Hi Friends,

Today we will have a slight introduction to dictclass .

DictClass have wide vaiety of operations one of them is call Object.

We have created a object for PurchFormLetter_Invoiced() and call the method called missingnumber in the class.

The output of the class is printed at the end of section.

static void Job_Example_DictClass_CallObject(Args _args)
{
DictClass dictClass;
anytype retVal;
str resultOutput;
PurchFormLetter_Invoice p = new PurchFormLetter_Invoice();
ExecutePermission perm;

perm = new ExecutePermission();

// Grants permission to execute the DictClass.callObject method.
// DictClass.callObject runs under code access security.
perm.assert();

dictClass = new DictClass(classidget(p));
if (dictClass != null)
{
retVal = dictClass.callObject("missingNumber", p);
resultOutput = strfmt("Return value is %1", retVal);
print resultOutput;
pause;
}

// Closes the code access permission scope.
CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
}

Security Policy property in Ax 2012

Hi Friends,

I have been working on the security . I have came across the property of ContextType and ContextString.

I will to explian ContextType and ContextString properties.

In ContextType LookUp there will be three values they are

1.ContextString

2.RoleName

3.RoleProperty.

Here don't get confused with the ContextString in LookUp and ContextString in Properties.

They both are related to each other.

Case 1: When ContextType property is set to "ContextString"

The ContextString property is empty. This combination implies that when it is enabled, this security policy will always be applicable for all users.

Case 2: When ContextType property is set to "RoleName"

The RoleName Property will be enabled and it shows roles select the appropriate Role for the situation.The Role which is activated for the user the security policy applies.

Case 3: When ContextType property is set to "RoleProperty"

The RoleProperty is the combination of ContextString and RoleName. So both the properties will be activated.

I hope you have understood the concept of ContextType property in Security Policy.

Find All Fields that user cannot access in Ax 2012

Hi Friends,

Note:: The program given below is a sample program and it cannot be used in real scenarios in Ax 2012.

Today we will have a small program in Ax 2012 that is used to find out how many tables and how may field in the tables the security keys are attached and find out which keys there will be security for that.

Here is the program which I have been talking about-----

static void GmTrimAccessFieldScan(Args _args)
{
// Edit the following three macro values to your needs. For example:
// ** Start: with a table whose name starts with an 'A'.
// ** Stop: with a table whose name starts with a 'Z'.
#define.SearchTableNameRangeStart("")
#define.SearchTableNameRangeStop("")
#define.TargetTableNameLikeFilter("*")

TreeNode tnTable,
tnField;
str sTableAosAuth,
sFieldAosAuth;
int nCountOfTpfTablesFound = 0,
nCountOfAotTables = 0,
nCountOfTrimmedFields = 0;

// Establish start node among the table nodes.
if (#SearchTableNameRangeStart == "")
{
tnTable = TreeNode::findNode
("\\Data Dictionary\\Tables").AOTfirstChild();
}
else
{
tnTable = TreeNode::findNode
("\\Data Dictionary\\Tables\\" + #SearchTableNameRangeStart);
}


while (true)
{
nCountOfAotTables++;
// Provide ongoing progress reports.
if ((nCountOfAotTables MOD 50) == 3)
{
print int2Str(nCountOfAotTables)
+ " tables examined so far, at " + tnTable.AOTname();
print int2Str(nCountOfTpfTablesFound) + " TPF okay tables found so far.";
print int2Str(nCountOfTrimmedFields) + " trimmed fields found so far.";
print "---------------- Wait...";
}
// Perhaps stop before the end of the AOT, for convenience.
if (#SearchTableNameRangeStop < tnTable.AOTname() &&
#SearchTableNameRangeStop != ""
)
{
break;
}

// Apply the table name wild card filter.
if (tnTable.AOTname() like #TargetTableNameLikeFilter)
{
sTableAosAuth = tnTable.AOTgetProperty('AOSAuthorization');
// Test whether there is authority to access the table, under TPF.
if (sTableAosAuth != 'None')
{
nCountOfTpfTablesFound++;
// Loop through the fields on this table.
for (tnField = TreeNode::findNode
('\\Data Dictionary\\Tables\\'
+ tnTable.AOTname()
+ '\\Fields').AOTfirstChild();
tnField;
tnField = tnField.AOTnextSibling()
)
{
sFieldAosAuth = tnField.AOTgetProperty('AOSAuthorization');
// Test whether there is authority to access the field.
if (sFieldAosAuth != 'No')
{
nCountOfTrimmedFields++;
info(strFmt('%1 %2 is a trimmed field that you cannot access.',
tnTable.AOTname(), tnField.AOTname()));
}
} // for each field in AOT
} // if table is guarded by the Table Protection Framework (TPF).
} // name is Like

// Prepare for next interation of this loop.
tnTable = tnTable.AOTnextSibling();
if (tnTable == null) break;

} // for each table in AOT

print "-------- Final Report (see also the Infolog) --------";
print int2Str(nCountOfAotTables)
+ " tables examined so far, at end.";
print int2Str(nCountOfTpfTablesFound) + " TPF tables found so far, at end.";
print int2Str(nCountOfTrimmedFields) + " trimmed fields found so far, at end.";
print "-------- Done. --------";
pause;
}
