The
Microsoft Dynamics AX Sustained Engineering Team recently announced
the compatibility of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 with Dynamics AX 2009 Service Pack
1.

And
that’s good news for customers, said Joe Marcus, Director,
Solution Architecture, Ideaca Knowledge Services Limited

"Knowing
what SharePoint 2010 offers, I would say one of the benefits is the future-proofing
of the stack," Marcus said.

Without
this compatibility customers would be limited to SharePoint 2007, which means
if they wanted to upgrade their infrastructure to SharePoint 2010 they wouldn’t
be able to do t…

Sure
Step is Microsoft’s implementation methodology for all its Dynamics
products. Recently I had the opportunity to take Microsoft’s implementation
exam for Dynamics and in the process, I learned that many customers and even
some partners really don’t understand what Sure Step is.

It
should be obvious that a successful implementation of Microsoft Dynamics GP
provides the foundation for happy users later on. Since all of the Dynamics
products are implemented by partners, it’s in Microsoft’s interests to
facilitate consistent implementations whenever possible. Microsoft’s vehicle to
provide consistency is its Sure Step methodology.

Sure
Step is an implementation methodology similar to methodologies already used by
many partners. With the standardizati…

Dilip Popat, Director of Global
Retail Industry Principal at Microsoft, is prioritizing a  customer-centric
approach to marketing and selling Microsoft Dynamics AX for retail. During his
presentation at the To-Increase Worldwide Partner event in May, 2010, Popat explained: "’Connected Experiences’ for retail enables a deeper relationship
between the customer and supplier. In particular, the fine-tuning and
adaptability of the solution is designed to move away from a solely
transactional relationship with the customer and introduces opportunities to
start a dialogue around their brands and preferences. This is a trend the
consumer market has been seeing in general."

Since the rise of the Internet, the
mass communication model, including print and televi…

Processing larger files in AX, Please backup the registry before you do any modifications to it

SYMPTOMS

You read an XML file that has a large text field in Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0. For example, the document size is 5432150 characters, and the large text field is 5429024 characters. In this scenario, the XmlElement.text function fails. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

Error in getting through from code: Shorthanded memory to getting through from script.

Stacktrace

(C)\Classes\XmlElement\text

(C)\Classes\PrismeXML_Base\traverse – line 58

(C)\Classes\PrismeXML_Base\run – line 12

(C)\Classes\PrismeXML_Base\interpret – line 67

(C)\Jobs\CallOIOInterpreter – line 15

 
CAUSE

This problem occurs because there is no more memory space available. By default, the size for the memory allocation in the Application Object Server (AOS) is set to 10 MB at installation. If your implementation requires manipulation of data elements over 10 MB, memory allocation fails. You may or may not see an error message if memory allocation fails when this limit is exceeded.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, modify the maxbuffersize registry key on the client computer or the computer that is running the AOS server. Or, break the XML file into smaller sizes possibly 500 -1000 line items.

Note The following steps will bring your AOS server offline temporarily because of a service reset.

To modify the maxbuffersize registry subkey on the client computer, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.

2.Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Dynamics\4.0\Configuration\your current config name.

3.Set the value for the maxbuffersize registry key to the maximum message size in MB. Or, set the value to zero (0) to have no restriction on the size of documents.

4.Restart the client computer.

To modify the maxbuffersize registry key on the computer that is running the AOS server, follow these steps:

1.Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.

2.On the AOS server, open the server configuration settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dynamics Server\4.0\instance name\config name

3.Set the value for the maxbuffersize registry key to the maximum message size in MB.

4.Restart the AOS service.

Central Maintenance and Welding Inc. (CMW) was looking for a way to transition its accounts payable (AP) and paper-based account receivables (AR) functions from 100% paper-based to 100% paperless.

Leonard Bethea, CMW’s IT director, said by introducing standard operating procedures and moving its procure-to-pay process (P2P) from paper-based to paperless the company would operate more efficiently and accurately and as well as save money.

Bethea said he also saw an opportunity to integrate the automated P2P process with CMW’s Microsoft Dynamics GP solution to generate real return on CMW’s ERP investment.

CMW was looking for an AP and AR document management solutions provider that could leverage technology to standardiz…

The launch of the next release of Microsoft Dynamics AX will be next year. We will be the hosting the Microsoft Dynamics AX Technical Conference 2011 in January to give partners and customers an early look at the product.

This will be an important event for architects, consultant developers and IT infrastructure consultants to get deep technical information on the upcoming release of Microsoft Dynamics AX. You can find out more information here

http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/DynamicsAXtechnicalconference2011

My team, the Developer and Partners Tool team will be present at the conference, and we have an exciting list of sessions planed. For us it is extra exciting, as this will be the first public event where we can show and share all the tools improvements and new tools in Dynamics AX. Until the conference we can only talk in general terms about the AX’6′ improvements in the tool set – and that is extraordinary hard given the incredible feedback we are receiving from TAP partners.  I hope to see you at the conference, so I get an opportunity to share what I’ve been working on the past 2-3 years.
