Friends, I am from Quito, Ecuador,

I need to execute a process in Dynamics Ax ERP, who can I do ??

We have no experience with that but I guess they have either a web, web service or executable which you could automate through VisualCron?

---

Thanks, Dynamics Ax have an excutable "C:\Archivos de programa\Microsoft Dynamics AX\50\Client\Bin\Ax32.exe"

I need to execute a program:
1) Open Erp
2) Execute a program
3) Program open a txt file
4) Program process information in ERP (accounting entry)
5) if exists error, the program have an error log (a table on data base)

I need to run a class o program ERP, the location of text files the same program found them.

Is this a command line or desktop interface? Preferably, we want a command line so we can do background automation.

Thanks friend, I found information about command line to Dynamics Ax 4.0, but the version that We Use is 5.0

Another example command line but with an xml file. The XML file specifies the class and methods to use. The result of importing and executing is written to a log file or shown to the user in Infolog.

Executing with no user interaction is useful for any automation of customer tasks, in particular during the test phase.

Create an XML file

---

On the Microsoft Dynamics AX client computer, create a file of type XML.

Add tags to XML file specifying:

Microsoft Dynamics AX version.

Name and location of the log file.

The XPO file containing the class to be imported.

The method to be run.

Note
The XML file syntax is described in the documentation for the SysAutoRun Class.

ax32.exe –StartupCmd=AutoRun_ c:\folder\filename .XML



Sample XML file

---

This is an example of an XML file that can be used to import data silently.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<AxaptaAutoRun version="4.0" logFile="AxaptaAutoRun_BVTRun.log">

<XpoImport file="\share\TestCases\CreateClass.xpo" />

<Run type="class" name="CreateClass" method="main" />

</AxaptaAutoRun>

Ok, then try, use the Execute Task and in command line:

ax32.exe <----- you need to enter full path to this one

And arguments:

–StartupCmd=AutoRun_ c:\folder\filename .XML

---

OK but who can I manage errors, durong execution I have error, but result is success.

Hmm.. I am not sure how you get an error when no Task has failed. Perhaps something else has happened. Please check the VisualCron log when running.

---

Friends,

How can I execute some tasks in order of execution, I have some tasks that depend on each other.

Dependent tasks should not be executed without the execution of the preceding

Thanks.

If the previous Task fails it will not continue. If you need to prevent the other Tasks through other Variable than the previous Task result you may need to create a Condition and attach it to the next Task.

But, is there any reason why the previous Task does not fail? And how do you recognize a failure?

---

Friend Do you have some example about the last post, We need to test the entire functionality to buy software.

Selecting the right Condition depends on how you detect if something has gone right or wrong. So, how do you know if previous have failed or not (unless it does not give the correct exit code).

---

We need more time, to test, my evaluation licence is next to finish

Do you need a trial extension?
