8. Preparing for integrating Dynamics AX IdentifyEncapsulatePublishConfigureConsume

9. Pains and challenges Isaac – Business Application Developer Build powerful integrated applications Develop applications that can be published through service interfaces Consume third-party web services Simon – Systems Implementer / Consultant Configure integrations Map data formats Set up bulk import Chris – IT Administrator Manage integrations Troubleshoot integrations Deploy integrations & configurations

10. Today we will show you… Standardized integration stack Simplified configuration Enhanced integration features

11. Components in action today

12. Concept recap: Services Document services – Query => Document => Document service – Maps a business entity Custom services – Attribute-based contracts System services – Query service – Metadata service – Etc.

13. Services on WCF Runtime Messaging Gateway AX Business Logic File WCF Message Routing AOS IIS Web Services on WCF Runtime Adapter Clients BizTalk ServerAX ClientEnterprise PortalReporting FrameworkOffice Business App MSMQ AOS is a service host All integration through WCF Services Net TCP HTTP Internet Clients Integration architecture in Dynamics AX 2012

14. Dynamics AX 2009Dynamics AX 2012 Simplified configuration

15. Concept: Integration ports Deployment artifacts that: – Expose one or more Dynamics AX services – Have a single URL – Subsume the concept of “Endpoints” of Dynamics AX 2009 Inbound vs. outbound ports – Depending on origin of the message Basic vs. enhanced ports – Depending on functionality Sync vs. async transport – Depending on transport

16. Enhanced integration ports Hostable in both AOS and IIS Support for multiple adapters: – HTTP, net.tcp, MSMQ, file Pre- and post-processing – Transforms (Message Level) – Pipelines (AifXMLMessage Level) Data contract customizations – Policies, legal values, etc. Advanced security configuration Troubleshooting options

30. Top 10 tips from the session Identify the functionality needed for your integration and encapsulate it in a reusable service Avoid breaking changes in service interfaces when customizing the application Use document service wizard to generate missing services, if applicable Add additional custom services and service operations as needed Use enhanced integration ports to unlock advanced integration features Leverage bulk handling large amounts of data Use IIS for publishing services through HTTP Use system services for building interactive client applications Use BizTalk’s WCF adapter to integrate with Dynamics AX Check AIF blog for additional tips and newsAIF blog

38. Dynamics AX development stack

39. Consuming external web services “Add Service Reference” from AOT deprecated – Parallel Stack to Visual Studio support – Not complete in functionality (Authentication, complex schema support) Add the Service Reference in VS and “Add to AOT” to add the VS Project in AOT Seamless X++/.NET interop to invoke web service from X++

40. Security Auto inference security permissions for any X++ service Use SysEntryPointAttribute to determine whether to run operation in the context of the calling user or as admin Document service operations have access level attributes for security for relevant CRUDF operations System services open to all AX users and run in the caller’s context
