Import Export Model with ax 2012 R3
Models are logical group of elements like tables and classes. In AX 2012 elements can be group and store in the model file. Model files are easy to create, export and import and this can be uninstlled from system when not required.

Export an .axmodel file (Windows PowerShell)

1. On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Dynamics AX Management Shell.
2. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, PS C:\>, type the following command, and then press ENTER.

 EXPORT Command Syntax:
      Export-AXModel –Model <name> -File <Filename.axmodel>

 Example:

    Export-AXModel -Model Ch_File -File C:\Test\Ch_File.axmodel

Import an .axmodel file (Windows PowerShell)

1. On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Dynamics AX Management Shell.
2. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, PS C:\>, type the following command, and then press ENTER.

IMPORT Command Syntax:

Install-AXModel -File <Filename.axmodel> -Details

Example:

Install-AXModel -File C:\Test\Ch_File.axmodel -Details

Create a New Model

Number Sequence

Overview

Number sequences are unique identifiers that can be associated with a master record so that they can be individually distinguished. They can be either formatted as alpha-numeric strings or simply as numbers.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 provides an easy to implement framework to generate custom number sequences.

Scenario

As part of this tutorial, a custom number sequence will be generated for the Customer Groups setup form (Accounts receivable à Setup à Customers à Customer groups)

Steps

1. First create a new Extended Data Type (EDT). Open AOT àData Dictionary à Extended Data Types
2. Right Click on Extended Data Types and create a new EDT NumSeqDemoCustGroupNum of type String

3. Set the properties as shown below



4. Now go to AOT à Classes and open the NumberSeqModuleCustomer class by right clicking it and selecting View Code



5. In the loadModule method, add the following code after the last line of code
//customer group number
//define the EDT
datatype.parmDatatypeId(extendedTypeNum(NumSeqDemoCustGroupNum));
//define its default propertiesdatatype.parmReferenceHelp(literalStr(“Unique number for customer group”));datatype.parmWizardIsContinuous(true);datatype.parmWizardIsManual(NoYes::No);datatype.parmWizardIsChangeDownAllowed(NoYes::No);datatype.parmWizardIsChangeUpAllowed(NoYes::No);datatype.parmWizardHighest(999999);datatype.parmSortField(27);
//define its scope
datatype.addParameterType(NumberSeqParameterType::DataArea, true, false);this.create(datatype);


6. Now, go to AOT à Jobs and create a new job loadNumSeqCustDemo
Write the following code in the job and then run it
static void loadNumSeqCustDemo(Args _args){
//define the class variableNumberSeqModuleCustomer seqMod = new NumberSeqModuleCustomer();
//load the number sequences that were not generatedseqMod.load();}


7. Now, go to Organization administration à Common à Number sequences à Number sequences

8. Click on Generate button in the New button group

9. In the Setup number sequences wizard, Press Next

10. In the Setup set different values for the number sequence like the format, highest value and lowest value
11. Click Next

12. In the last step, Click Finish to generate the number sequences

13. The number sequence is generated and can be used on the Customer Groups form
14. Open AOT à Data Dictionary à Tables à CustGroup
15. Add a new String field and set the properties as follows

16. Add the newly added field in the Overview field group

17. Now go to Forms àCustGroup and restore the form. It will add the newly added field in the grid

18. Write the following code on the Class declaration node
     NumberSeqFormHandler numberSeqFormHandler;


19. Create a new method on the form and write the following code
    NumberSeqFormHandler numberSeqFormHandler(){
    if (!numberSeqFormHandler){
    //create a reference of number sequence form handler class specifying the         EDT, Data source name and the field of the table
    numberSeqFormHandler =NumberSeqFormHandler::newForm(NumberSeqReference::findReference(extendedtypenum(NumSeqDemoCustGroupNum)).NumberSequenceId, element,CustGroup_DS,fieldnum(CustGroup,CustGroupNumber));}return numberSeqFormHandler;
    }


20. Override the close method of the form and write the following code
    public void close(){
    if (numberSeqFormHandler)
    {numberSeqFormHandler.formMethodClose();}
    super();}


21. Override the create method on the CustGroup data source and add the following code
    public void create(boolean _append = false){
    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceCreatePre();
    super(_append);
    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceCreate(true);}


22. Override the write method on the CustGroup data source and add the following code
    public void write(){
    super();
    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceWrite();}


23. Override the validateWrite method on the CustGroup data source and add the following code
    public boolean validateWrite(){
    boolean ret;
    ret = super();
    ret = element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceValidateWrite(ret) && ret;
    return ret;}


24. Override the delete method on the CustGroup data source and add the following code
    public
    void delete(){
    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceDelete();
    super();}


25. Override the linkActive method on the CustGroup data source and add the following code
    public
    void linkActive(){
    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceLinkActive();
    super();}


26. Now go to Accounts receivable à Setup à Customers à Customer groups

27. Create a new record. The number sequence is generated according to the format defined as shown below
