Date/Time fields in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 Update 1
The Date and Time data type is used in many times such as Project Start Date, Project End Date, Date of Birth, anniversaries etc. Before the Update, CRM stored all date and time values with the user’s local time zone information. This included User Local format. The system converted the users’ local time zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for backend storage and then converted the date and time back to the local time zone for display on forms. When Date and Time data type is selected you can select different Behaviour in CRM 2015 Update 1. The need for such update is sometimes date only format caused confusion basically for Birthdays, anniversaries. Users would sometimes see a different day displayed depending on their local time zone. The different Behaviours available in CRM 2015 Update 1 are as follows User Local Date Only format always sets time to 12:00 am Time-Zone Independent format saves in UTC on the backend without converting the time-zone This date/time behaviour are not present in On-premises installation. 1. User Local Behaviour The field values are displayed in the current user’s local time. The Format available for User Local Behaviour is Date Only and Date and Time. Here Project Start Date field is set as User Local You can change the custom entity field’s behaviour from the User Local to Date Only or to Time-Zone Independent. Before changing the behaviour of date and time field, review all the dependencies, to ensure thet there are no issues as a result of changing behaviour. 2. Date Only Behaviour The field values are displayed without the time zone conversion. The time portion of the value is always 12:00AM. The date portion of the value is stored and retrieved as specified in the UI and Web services. The Date Only behaviour can’t be changed to other behaviour types, once it’s set. The Format available for Date Only Behaviour is Date Only. “Date of Birth” field is set to Date only field. 3. Time-Zone Independent behaviour The Time-Zone Independent behaviour can’t be changed to other behaviour types, once it’s set. The concept of a time zone isn’t applicable to this behaviour. The field values are displayed without the time zone conversion. The date and time values are stored and retrieved as specified in the UI and Web services The Format available for Time-Zone Independent Behaviour is Date Only and Date and Time. “Project End Date” field is set to Time Zone Independent Behaviour On change of behaviour effect on existing records 1. When Date of Birth field behaviour is changed to Date only: The Date of Birth field shown here is 9/15/2015 as entered by the user. When this field is retrieved the date/time value returned will be 9/14/2015 06:30:00 PM. Thus the date of birth visible and retrieved is different. In the database UTC date/time is set but in UI it appears different. This value is when the behaviour is user Local behaviour. Retrieve the value of the Date of Birth field and you will get 9/14/2015. Here the date/time value set will be 9/14/2015 12:00:00 AM. When the record was originally created the date entered was 9/15/2015 and I would have expected it to show as 9/15/2015. However, since the change has not been made to the existing records for this field in database, they are still stored in the original UTC format along with the time. It appears that the UTC date/time is picked and the time part is being set as 12:00:00 AM. Thus before changing, make sure about the dependent fields. 2. When Date of Birth field behaviour is changed to Time Zone Independent Here the date and time filed visible is 11/16/2015 8:00 AM. When you retrieve this field the value is 11/16/2015 2:30 AM. Thus the date of birth visible and retrieved is different. In the database UTC date/time is set but in UI it appears different. This value is when the behaviour is user Local behaviour. Retrieve the value of the Date of Birth field and you will get 11/16/2015 2:30 AM. When the record was originally created the date entered was 11/16/2015 8:00 AM and I would have expected it to show as 11/16/2015 8:00 AM. When the field behaviour is changed to time zone independent the time is been changed and data stored in database is picked.

Enhanced Business Process Flow
Enhanced Business Process Flow 2015 Business Process Flow was introduced in Microsoft dynamics CRM in 2013. Business Process Flows in CRM guides users through each step in a defined process to clearly see what steps have been completed, and what needs to happen next. Each stage in a Business Process Flow can be configured to include fields that the business would like to have completed for that stage. This list of fields can include any field available on that entity. These fields can also be represented elsewhere on the form. However, in CRM 2013 Business Process Flows were subject to several limitations Strictly Linear Process: Business processes are designed to work only in linear manner, no branching was allowed. Cannot Revisit The Entity More Than Once: Cannot visit the same entity again in single business process flow. No programmability support Enhanced Business Process Flow in CRM 2015 The improvement made to Business Process Flow functionality is the ability to deploy conditional logic within a defined process, (called Branches). Steps and stages can be configured easily where branching rules are defined. Selection of entity relationships – It can be optional. Branching supports – Single entity, cross entity and also supports multiple entity loops. Entity used in Business Process Flow can be revisited multiple times. Programmability through client API: Programmatically updates process state and hooks on to process events. Let’s implement these improvements in an example, consider a scenario were EazyApp Is a facetious Company which sells Software as a product. The request EazyApp receives on daily basis gets classified as leads, some of them get Qualified if they are further interested in evaluating the trial of the software and also the budget amount is greater than or equal to $5000, if not, then the lead gets disqualified. Once a lead Is interested in Trial and the budget amount is greater than or equal to $5000, the lead gets Qualified and an Opportunity gets created. Once the trial is completed, a new question is asked whether a Quote is required. If no, we close the Opportunity but if it is a yes, we create a quote and deliver the quote. After that, we offer maintenance for the product, if the Opportunity is interested in maintenance, we update the quote, and otherwise we close the opportunity. The following diagram shows a business process flow with branches. Before Designing Business process flows with Branches for EazyApp take a note of the following Information: A process can span across a maximum of 5 unique entities. You can use a maximum of 30 stages per process and a maximum of 30 steps per stage. Each branch can be no more that 5 levels deep. Branching rule must be based on the steps in the stage that immediately precedes it. You can combine multiple conditions in a rule by using the AND operator or the OR operator, but not both operators. An entity used in the process can be revisited multiple times (multiple closed entity loops). You can go back to the previous stage regardless of an entity type. For example, if the active stage is Deliver Quote on a quote record, you can move the active stage back to the Propose stage on an opportunity record. Only one active process per a record is possible. The stages can be reordered using the MOVE UPor MOVE DOWN arrows within the branch. The stages can’t be moved from one branch to other branches. Let’s look at the example of the business process flow with branches, for EazyApp selling Software as a product. First, we’ll create a new process named EazyApp Business Process Flow. Go to Settings > Processes. Specify the Category as Business Process Flow and for the primary Entity choose Lead. Add the first stage to the process called Qualify and add steps Purchase Time frame and Is Interested in Trial. After the common Qualify stage, we split the process into to two separate branches, by using the If-Else clause. Notes To add the first branch for a stage, choose Add branch below the stage and specify the If condition. To add the second branch for the same stage, choose Add branch again, below the same stage. The Else clause will be displayed. You can choose Else, to convert it to Else-If, if you have more than two branches from the same stage, or if you want to enter a branch only when certain conditions are satisfied. Choose the green square + (plus) button under the branching rule, to add another condition to the rule. Choose the + Insert stage button to insert a stage at the beginning of the branch. If the Is Interested Trial = Yes & Budget Amount is greater than or equal to $5000 the process branches out to the Trial stage, otherwise, it jumps to the Close stage, in the second branch, as shown below. As you can see above, it will apply ‘if’ criteria to check condition, where we can specify field criteria and save the condition. Once it is saved, it will allow you to insert stage on that basis as shown below. It also allows to add else condition if the criteria to flow the process in another direction is not fulfilled. You can combine multiple conditions using and/or branching techniques as shown above. Here, it will also allow you to set relationship with another entity. If no relationships exist, then you can set it to none. Likewise, you can create complete Business Process Flow and it can be used as shown below: Likewise, you can create a complete Business Process Flow and it can be used as shown below: As you can see below, it currently shows only two stages ‘Qualify’ and ‘Close’ and the step ‘Is Interested in Trial’ shows value as No. If you select ‘Is Interested in Trial’ as yes & Budget amount more than or equal to $5000, it will change the flow with additional stages as shown below: Similarly, after qualifying the lead, it will go to another stage where if you select ‘Quote required’ as yes, it will show some additional stages as ‘Deliver Quote’, ‘Offer Maintenance’ etc. as shown below: This is how you can include business process flow … Continue reading Enhanced Business Process Flow

Filters available in AX 2012
Filters plays a very important role in getting the data in a fast and easy manner. AX is designed in such a way that the filters can be used on all the forms. The user can filter the data by providing syntax in the filter field available on the form or by clicking Ctrl+ G. When the user clicks Ctrl+G, a new row is created below the column header of the grid. The following filtering and query options are available when you use embedded filters or queries. Syntax – Value Character Description – Equal to the value entered Description – Type the value to find. Example – Alex finds “Alex”. Syntax – !Value Character Description – Not Equal to the value entered Description – Type an exclamation mark in front of the value to exclude. Example –!Alex finds all values except “Alex” Syntax – From-value..To-value Character Description – Between the two values entered separated by double periods. Description – Type the From value, then two periods, and then the To value. Example – 10..30 finds all values from 10 to 30. Syntax – ..value Character Description – Less than or equal to the value entered Description – Type the two periods and then the value. Example – ..50 finds any number less than or equal to 50. Syntax – .. Character Description – Greater than or equal to the value entered. Description – Type the value and then the two periods Example – 50.. finds any number greater than or equal to 50. Syntax – >value Character Description – Greater than the value entered. Description – Type a greater than sign (>) and then the value. Example – >20finds any number greater than 20 Syntax – <value Character Description – Less than the value entered. Description – Type a less than sign (<) and then the value. Example – <50 finds any number less than 50 Syntax – value* Character Description – Starting with the value entered. Description – Type the starting value and then an asterisk. Example – S* finds any string that starts with S Syntax – *value Character Description – Ending with the value entered. Description – Type an asterisk and then the ending value. Example – *ltd finds any string that ends with ltd. Syntax – *value* Character Description – Contains the value entered. Description – Type an asterisk, then a value, and then another asterisk. Example – *pvt* finds any string that contains pvt. Syntax – ? Character Description – Having one or more unknown characters. Description – Type a question mark at the position of the unknown character in the value. Example – Sa??abh finds “Saurabh” Syntax – value,value Character Description – Matching the values entered separated by commas. Description – Type all your criteria separated by commas. Example – 30,80 finds exactly “30” and “80”. Syntax – T Character Description – Today’s date Description – Type “T” Example – Enter T and click Tab/Enter, it will bring todays date. The above provided syntax are very useful in day to day activities in AX. User can use the syntax in combination also, by using “&” syntax.

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