Spotlight: AX 2012 POS Development - Application Triggers

Well I hope everyone has had a great weekend and your looking forward to another Dynamics AX filled week. There is so much to cover about this powerful release of Microsoft Dynamics AX, with AX 2012. I'm really looking forward to our continued path down creating a BI story with AX 2012. Further, I'm equally as excited to have started the EP focused development post. There we will be targeting a warranty management solution, built 100% for EP.

With that said, and going back to the fact that we have so many wonderful topics to touch on with AX 2012 - I wanted to do a blog spotlight. It's been a little while since I have done such a post, and I wanted to take the time and highlight what Eduardo Arias, of AXWonders.blogspot.com recently posted about.



Ed, post recently on a great topic, being that of POS Development for AX 2012. From the post.:
"Application Triggers are called before and after certain operations when the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 POS application is running. This is the first assembly that AX 2012 POS looks at when starting.

In addition, you can override the default Application Triggers’ operations by using the IApplicationTrigger interface provided by the Microsoft.Dynamics.Retail.Pos.Contracts.Triggers namespace in Visual Studio 2010."

Ed takes us through, in his first on a series about Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 POS Development, and dives into the topic of Application Triggers. In this Ed takes us the design, interfaces & steps - so that we can gain a very solid knowledge base around AX 2012 POS and Application Triggers.

Further, as we read along we are giving insight into the process, where to find examples, as well as a look to the next in this series of post. That being a focus around the topic of Blank Operations for AX 2012 POS Development. All-in-all it was a great start to a very interesting subject. I think it's a very timely entry into the blogsphere, and as Ed points out - there is not a lot of coverage for this topic yet. With that, many thanks Ed for adding to the community, and please keep it coming!

Till Next Time!

Spotlight: Dive into IDMF for AX 2012

From time to time I like to spotlight some great content that is being posted out there in the big wild social media landscape that is the Dynamics Ecosystem.

Today I thought I would spotlight, AXWonders.blogspot.com. This blog is ran by a fellow Sunriser, Eduardo Arias. He is a Senior Technical Architect like myself, and has a passion for AX. I recommend you bookmark, and subscribe to his blog feeds.

What I wanted to specifically spotlight was his recent dive in IDMF for AX 2012. I've talked a good bit about the value this has in the past, specifically around AX 2009 and the fact that this was being updated for AX 2012. Well last week the news came out that it has been release, which you can find more about this on InformationSource.



From the post: "There has been a lot of talk about the Intelligent Data Management Framework (IDMF) in AX 2012, and for a good reason! This is because the Intelligent Data Management Framework allows the system administrators optimize the performance of Microsoft Dynamics AX installations, which is something that we all should be concerned about when implementing AX 2012."

I wanted to make sure and tell Eduardo Arias thanks for sharing with the rest of us, and giving us some highlights from the recent release of IDMF for AX 2012! Keep it up!

That's all for now, but check back soon as more to come!

Till next time!
