Create loop from an AX form DataSet - Ax 2009

Sometimes we need to loop through values at the form level. The following code loops (for loop) the SalesParmTable in the CloseOk() Form method.        


        //Create Lines
        for (localSalesParmTable = salesParmTable_ds.getFirst();
              localSalesParmTable;
              localSalesParmTable = salesParmTable_ds.getNext())
        {
              ....Implementation....
        }

RAID in AX 2009 - AX 2009

With an ERP system such as Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, the database server generally stores a very large amount of important data for the business. If this data is unavailable for any length of time, the business could experience
significant financial losses.

Using a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) can help reduce the possibility of this loss occurring. Another important aspect for a database server is fine tuning for optimal performance. A RAID disk subsystem can also be used to help achieve this goal.

RAID refers to a group of two or more disks managed as a single unit to store the data together with additional, or redundant, information to provide recovery if there is a disk failure.

Usually a failed disk in a RAID system can be replaced while the server is still running. This is one benefit of RAID.

Today I had a requirement to only show the following language across the whole application:

• en-us
• fr

At first I thought to create a custom lookup method as I did for another requirement last month (http://axwonders.blogspot.com/2011/03/filter-activity-form-contact-to-only.html), but then I thought .. Oh my .. this would mean to add a lookup method to several forms across the application, and what about if I need to change something in the future? It was a fact that the scalability of this change will be an issue.

Because the requirement said "Across the application" I decided to modify the LanguageTable form to be shown as a lookup in every instance of the LanguageID across the application.

The following are the steps I took:
