- 6 submitted: last submission 09 Oct 2012Errata type: Code| Page number: 103
The display methods brand and model use the method find on the CarTable this method does not exist and must be created Correct Create a new method on the CarTable called find coded as follows:
static CarTable find(CarId _carId, boolean _forUpdate = false)
{
CarTable carTable; ;
if(_carId)
{
if(_forUpdate)
carTable.selectForUpdate(_forUpdate);
select firstonly carTable
where carTable.CarId == _carId;
}
return carTable;
}
Errata type: Code| Page number: 124
The instructions for creating a list page is missing a step. Correct After step 5 do the following: Add a grid item under Designs/Design -> New Control -> Grid Drag the fields from the datasource CarTable to the Grid.
Errata type: Code| Page number: 192
class ImpExpFileDialog references the enum FileEntity which has not yet been created. Correct FileEntity is created by selecting "New Base Enum" in the AOT with entries Cars and Rentals.
Errata type: Code| Page number: 198
Under construct, in the code snippet, Rentals is misspelled as Rentalts Correct Rentals is misspelled as Rentalts
Errata type: Code | Page number: 236
In the line that reads "We also have to change the following properties of the Key: AllowEditOnChange: No"
Please note, there is no such property "AllowEditOnChange" - the property is "AllowEditOnCreate"
Errata type: Code | Page number: 243
The following method cannot be compiled:
"void numberSeqPreInit()
{
runExecuteDirect = false;
// Load the number sequences for the
// specified module.
numberSeqReferenceCarRental =
CarRentalParameters::numberSeqReference();
numberSeqReferenceCarRental.load();
// Set the number sequences into the
// tmp table TmpIdRef
tmpIdRef.setTmpData(NumberSequenceReference::
configurationKeyTableMulti(
[CarRentalParameters::numberSeqModule()]));
}"
because the CarRentalParameters table must have the two static methods:
static NumberSeqReference numberSeqReference()
{
return NumberSeqReference::construct(CarRentalParameters::numberSeqModule());
}
static client server NumberSeqModule numberSeqModule()
{
return NumberSeqReference_CarRental::numberSeqModule();
}
These steps are not shown in the book.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software that comes with its own development environment and a programming language called X++. It is specialized and optimized to solve the tasks that are typical of an ERP system. But the specialized development environment of AX brings a steep learning curve. Hence, getting started with Dynamics AX and mastering it effectively can sometimes be daunting.
This tutorial has been carefully structured to guide you through the basic features of AX development, and get you started as quickly as possible. With this book, you will soon be able to develop and maintain comprehensive management solutions for enhancing your application's performance.
The book starts with a tour of the development environment, which helps you gain a deep understanding of Dynamics AX tools and architecture. It will introduce you to the X++ language. It helps you to create new functionality that can be used and changed in the standard application. You'll also learn how to search, manipulate, and integrate data.
The practical examples in this book take you through sample AX development projects and help you learn to create forms, reports, menu items, menus, and navigation pages. It also helps you work with the MorphX application.
The author's experience of developing solutions with Dynamics AX enables him to share insights in an effective, clear, and friendly way.
By the end of this book, you will have a better understanding of the inner workings of Microsoft Dynamics AX – making your development simpler and faster, and your applications fast, reliable, and robust.
