GDC Session-III: Integrating Microsoft Dynamics AX with External Systems

Cool session. It was all about showing muscles of Dynamics AX of how this enterprise software could manage the integration with external systems.

It was all about AIF, .NET business connector and CLR Interoperability.

For each of them I gave a simple application, like the following:

·         For AIF, I created a service using the Document Service Wizard. Then we extending it by adding a new operation. Then we published it on the local IIS. After this we were able to create a very simple console application to get data from Dynamics AX through the created web service.

·         For .NET Business connector, I created I windows application from Visual Studio .NET to call using the .NET business connector a static method that is written in X++.

·         For the CLR Interoperability, we called System.IO .NET library from within the X++. And then we a simple library in Visual Studio .NET, referenced it in Dynamics AX and then called it from within an AOT Job and X++.

    Hey Amer,

    “After this we were able to create a very simple console application to get data from Dynamics AX through the created web service.”

    You did the above when you needed to get data from Dynamics AX, but if I wanted to create a Sales Order in AX by getting data from an external file(in my case, micrososft office infopath file), would I still need to publish the service created through Document Service Wizard to the IIS?

    Hey Sameer,

    Of course not, you need to expose AX web services only if you wanted to send data to or retrieve data from AX.
