How to Restore the Database with code

Hi Guys,

This is the following command to restore the Database with given .bak file.

DECLARE @fileList TABLE (backupFile NVARCHAR(255))
DECLARE @lastFullBackup NVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @cadpath NVARCHAR(500)

INSERT INTO @fileList(backupFile)
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'dir C:\AX-Databases\*.bak'


select @lastFullBackup = substring(MAX(backupFile),CHARINDEX('H', MAX(backupFile)),8000) from @fileList
WHERE backupFile LIKE '%.bak'
AND backupFile LIKE '%'+'test' + '%'

set @cadpath = 'C:\AX-Databases\' + @lastFullBackup
RESTORE DATABASE test_Live FROM DISK = @cadpath

SQl Query for Financial Dimensions in Ax 2012

Hi Friends,

SQL Query for financial dimensions are often a common requirement we face.

The problem with dimensions is that there are multiple rows of a single default dimensions. Below is the query which returns a single coluumn for the Dimension

stuff((select '-'+[Displayvalue] from DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESETITEM
inner join DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET on DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESETITEM.DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET = DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET.RECID where DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET.RECID = SQT.DEFAULTDIMENSION FOR XML Path('')),1,1,'') AS DimDESCRIPTION


Now another point is that we often need to select one dimensions out of list of dimensions given here is the solution for it

( select [Displayvalue] from DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESETITEM
inner join DimensionAttributeValue on DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESETITEM.DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUE = DimensionAttributeValue.RECID
inner join DIMENSIONATTRIBUTE on DimensionAttributeValue.DIMENSIONATTRIBUTE = DIMENSIONATTRIBUTE.RECID AND DIMENSIONATTRIBUTE.NAME = 'CostCenter'
inner join DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET on DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESETITEM.DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET = DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET.RECID
where DIMENSIONATTRIBUTEVALUESET.RECID = SQT.DEFAULTDIMENSION ) AS DimDESCRIPTION

We can pass values to Financial Dimensions and get the required output.

Now a simple SQL Query is shown below

SELECT CASE WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 0 THEN 'Created' WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 1 THEN 'Created' WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 2 THEN
'Confirmed' WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 3 THEN 'Created' WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 4 THEN 'Created' END AS 'STATUS',
CASE WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 0 THEN 'Created' WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 1 THEN 'Sent' WHEN SALESQUOTATIONTABLE.QUOTATIONSTATUS = 2 THEN
