Connect to an external database using X++ code in AX 2012

Posted On November 2, 2015 by Admin Posted in

Below are the steps to be performed, To connect to an external database using ODBC connection, first create a DSN. To create a DSN refer the link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/300596 Write the below code: Note : The database login credentials are given in the DSN. You can use windows credentials or provide SQL credentials, if required. In the above code, the below lines of code will initialise the connection to the database. sq = new SqlSystem(); loginProperty = new LoginProperty(); loginProperty.setDSN(/*your dsn name here*/); loginProperty.setDatabase(/*your database name here*/); oDBCConnection = new ODBCConnection(loginProperty); The below lines of code will execute the query and store the data in a resulSet. sqlStmnt = strFmt(“select * from ABC”); //write your query here statement1 = odbcConnection.createStatement(); perm1 = new SqlStatementExecutePermission(sqlStmnt); perm1.assert(); myResult1 = statement1.executeQuery(sqlStmt1); We can also execute the stored procedures in the database. Write the below code to do so. odbcConnection = new OdbcConnection(loginProperty); sqlStmt1 = strFmt(“exec [Stored Procedure name]”); perm = new SqlStatementExecutePermission(sqlStmt1); perm.assert(); statement1 = odbcConnection.createStatement(); statement1.executeUpdate(sqlStmt1); CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert(); Suppose you execute more than one stored procedure in the same code, you may get below error. “SQL error description: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results for another hstmt” To eliminate this error, write below statement after every stored procedure is executed, statement1.close(); If there are multiple external databases on different servers, then you can create separate DSN to connect to each server. This connection information can be stored in a master table containing the DSN name, the database name. The X++ code can then use the connection details from the master table as shown below. loginProperty = new LoginProperty(); loginProperty.setDSN(masterTable.databseName); loginProperty.setDatabase(masterTable.databseName);

Power BI updates

Posted On October 26, 2015 by Admin Posted in

Purpose of this blog is to showcase latest Power BI updates. Prerequisite: Power BI Desktop Tool, Power BI Personal Gateway and Power BI online service account. Purpose of the setup: To learn about latest Power BI updates from October month. Here we will be looking the below mentioned Power BI updates; Read-only Members in Power BI Groups Semi-select support for DAX formulas in Data view   Read-only Members in Power BI Groups: Power BI have introduced a very good feature in Power BI online Service using which the user can create group in Power BI Online account with multiple users and these users can be assigned role as ‘Admin’ or ‘Member’.Let’s have a look. With such Power BI groups the user and his colleagues can come together to collaborate, communicate and connect with their data. The user can create a group either in Power BI or Office 365. Then, the user can invite co-workers into this group workspace where he can collaborate on his organization’s shared dashboards, reports and datasets. Up until now, all members had all the rights. Many of us required read-only membership to the groups so that the users you want to keep up to date but not have edit permissions on our dashboards and reports. So, this update exactly helps us to do the same; let’s have a look on how to do this. Now to begin with, first we’ll create our group by clicking the “+” icon near Group Workspaces. Now let’s add a few users to our group. FYI, Power BI Groups have two roles: Admins and Members. Now here, we will set one user to Admin and the remaining users to Members. We will click on Save to create the group. Now, let’s take a look what difference take place when an Admin and a member login to Power BI Online account and use the created group. As you can see, when person with Admin rights, login, than that user has right to ‘Explore’, ‘Schedule Refresh’, ‘Rename’, ’Delete’ etc. options available. Whereas, when a person with member rights login can only view the reports and Dashboard. Member of the group do not have the Dataset access and thus, cannot perform any edit operation. Thus, now we have option introduced for us to quickly switch a user from Member to Admin and vice-versa which will be very helpful.   Semiselect support for DAX formula in Dataview : Power BI have introduced another very good feature in Power BI Desktop Tool using which the user can create new column using DAX function by directly clicking on the column. Let’s have a look First we have to open the Dataview Screen. Now, before this update user had to manually type the table and the column name to write the DAX function. With this update the user can directly click on the column name and create the DAX function as per the requirement.

Creation of ACS and SAS in Azure

ACS is an Azure service that provides an easy way to authenticate users to access web applications and services without having to add complex authentication logic to code. While SAS is used to access resources in storage account which includes both primary and secondary keys. Assumptions Azure Account should be added in PowerShell with respective User’s Credentials. Note: For Adding account In Microsoft Azure PowerShell refer to following link: https://www.cloudfronts.com/azure-console-login-logout-using-azure-powershell/ Steps in Microsoft Azure PowerShell for ACS   Step 1: Write ACS Command in PowerShell ACS Key can be created using Azure PowerShell following command, New-AzureSBNamespace GravityDocument -Location “Southeast Asia” -CreateACSNamespace $true -NamespaceType Messaging Command requires Service Bus Namespace Name, Location and Messaging type.     Step 2: ACS Information on Azure Portal This ACS Key information can be seen on Microsoft Azure Account with that corresponding service bus namespace provided in the command above.   Once the Namespace is created the corresponding Connection Information is available at the bottom under Connection Information. Steps in Microsoft Azure for SAS Here for SAS Key we have created Queue inside the namespace.   Step 1: Creation of Queue Now Queue can be created inside this specified Namespace, for that follow the below screenshots       Specify the required details i.e. the Queue name under the specified namespace.   Step 2: Key with Permissions Now since the queue is created SAS key can also be generated with different permissions like Manage, Listen & Send. So under Configure option, under Shared Access Policies specify the name and permission to be given for that particular queue.       Now SAS key for that particular queue can be obtained from Connection Information of Queue with SAS key.   Conclusion Thus, we can Create ACS and SAS requests as per requirements using Microsoft Azure PowerShell and Azure Portal.
