Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Services

Chapter 2. Service Architecture and Deployment

There is always more than one solution to a problem. This is certainly true when designing solutions for your integration scenarios with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. As we learned in the previous chapter, there are a lot of options to choose from, both for deployment and development of services. In this chapter, we will focus on the options that are available when deploying services.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

WCF: Windows Communication Foundation provides the basis for building, configuring, and deploying services with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, so we will discuss the key concepts that are related to WCF.
Service deployment: Deployment of services is enabled by integration ports. You will learn how to create, configure, and deploy these integration ports.
Service generation: There is a lot going on when services are deployed. We will explore the artifacts that are generated and learn about Common Intermediate Language.

Adapters

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 allows you to exchange messages using various transport protocols. This is enabled by the use of adapters. An adapter has an adapter type that determines if it can be used on an inbound port, an outbound port, or both. The standard adapter types that are used are send and receive, receive or send, and receive and respond. The naming of these types is rather confusing, but the following table shows how this translates to inbound or outbound ports:

Adapter name	Adapter type	Inbound	Outbound	Mode
NetTcp	Send and receive	Yes	No	Synchronous
HTTP	Send and receive	Yes	No	Synchronous
Windows Azure Service Bus	Receive and respond	Yes	No	Synchronous/Asynchronous
Filesystem adapter	Receive or send	Yes	Yes	Asynchronous
MSMQ	Receive or send	Yes	Yes	Asynchronous

Adapters also have an address property. This address is a URI that refers to the destination or source location of the port. Depending on the adapter, this is a URL, a filesystem...

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

The ability of implementing new services using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is one of the "need-to-have" skills of any developer.This book drives you into the art of creating, deploying and consuming services.It is a must-to-have on top of your desk, full of useful example and how-to tips for fixing configuration errors.I was able to implement my first oData service is a very short time.The last chapters introduce to High availability, how to configure AX and how to trace and debug the CIL compiled code.It is well written, full of examples and figures and makes you able to finish complex tasks easierI strongly suggest buying this book: it is really worth the money you pay.

This books gives real world scenarios Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Services, well written by authors with good number of Microsoft Dynamics AX contributors!

Amazon customer Jul 02, 2014

It was a great coincidence that this book came out just before I was tasked with creating a couple of Dynamics AX AIF services. Every Dynamics AX developer knows that Microsoft’s own documentation is often incomplete and scattered around so it’s hard to get a full picture of how to get from nothing to your desired result.This book saved me a lot of time providing all necessary information to create the end result I needed.The book is greatly structured. It starts out with an introduction into SOA which is great for new developers. Next it gradually brings you into the world of Dynamics AX service implementation. It gives thorough explanation of how to set up services in the environment. Then it explains how to create two major types of AIF services – a document service and a custom service. A separate chapter describes all necessary details on how to use system services and includes a number of samples.Honestly I would expect the authors to stop right here – but they didn’t. They added a whole chapter on how to use the new SysOperation framework which is great even for developers who don’t need to touch AIF. There’s a chapter on High Availability that will appeal to system administrators and another one for Tracing and Debugging.Overall it’s a great book that a lot of audience will find very relevant to their daily tasks.In addition, Packt Publishing often runs eBook sales and there’s one going on right now so jump on it!
