Object ID’S

AX2009-Object IDs were 16 bits long

AX2012- Object IDs were 32 bits long

Changing the length of object IDs from 16 bits to 32 bits exponentially increases the number of object IDs that are available

how to delete a layer ?

Full Text Index in Dynamics AX 2012

Full-text functionality that enables AX to search business data over a large volume of text data or documents. These can be automatically updated at the same time that the data is changed in the associated tables

static void SR_FullTextQuery(Args _args)

{

    Query                   query;

    QueryBuildDataSource    qbds;

   

    QueryBuildRange         queryBuildRange;

    QueryRun                queryRun;

    SR_FullTextExample      sr_FullTextExample;

  query = new Query();

    qbds = query.addDataSource(tableNum(SR_FullTextExample));

    queryBuildRange = qbds.addRange(fieldNum(SR_FullTextExample, Name));

 

    queryBuildRange.rangeType(QueryRangeType::FullText);

 

    // The space character is treated as a Boolean OR.

    queryBuildRange.value(“Sreenath Kumar”);

 

    queryRun = new QueryRun(query);

    while (queryRun.next())

    {    sr_FullTextExample = queryRun.get(tableNum(SR_FullTextExample));    info(sr_FullTextExample.Name);

}

}

On AOT, there is a new node called “Part”, which holds the fact box objects. The available type of fact boxes are,•Form part•Info part•Cue part

Surrogate keys in AX 2012

The surrogate key in database terms refers to a field that also uniquely identifies a record, but isn't a natural selector. When looking at Ax, this is the RecID.

A surrogate key is a system generated value that acts as the primary key of a table. This value is typically used instead of a set of fields called the natural key which would typically act as the primary key of a table. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 uses RecId as the surrogate key.

Table Inheritance- AX2012

No Table Inheritance –AX2009

Just as an X++ class can inherit from another class, a table can inherit from another table. A table that inherits from the base table is called a derived table. the terms parent table and child table are used to describe foreign key relationships, not inheritance
