Help needed on AX 2009 development
I need some guidance on how to compile and implement small changes to some classes in AX 2009. I'm completely familar with how to use AX, but am not familar with how use the development tools. For instance when I find a class that I want to make changes to, I make those changes, save it, compile it with no errors, but the changes do not appear to occur to the system. Anyone out there want to help?
ASKER
No its a test system, I would want to get it working there first before trying it on a production system!
I have edited one word in a text string that is output in a class
so for example instead of
str body = 'Please find xyz';
the line is now
str body = 'Please find abc';
The issue is I do not know/understand how to save and compile this, or at least when I do it does not change the behaviour of the sytsem, and when I log out and log back into AX, it seems to have forgotten about the edit altogether
many thanks

ok you might just need to forward compile the class, are inheritance\extend might be the issue.
right click on the class go to add in -> compile forward
right click on the class go to add in -> compile forward
when you say forgotten do you mean your code change has gone from the system??
ASKER
re> when you say forgotten do you mean your code change has gone from the system??
Yes, disappeared altogether
What does "Compile forward" do?
Yes, disappeared altogether

I don't have compile forward on the add-in menu?

ahh you might not have the license to do X++ internally, in AX2009 you had to buy this, in AX2012 you get everything, go to administration
do you have
do you have
ASKER
No we don't, just checked. Would this cause this sympton, i.e apparently compilign and saving o.k with no error messages, but then just not doing it?
many thanks
many thanks
it will not allow the change to be saved.
without that license you can not save changes to x++ don't think its expensive
ASKER
Any idea how much, and how you go about buying it (i.e can you get it direct from microsoft)
many thanks
many thanks
I think about 7500 euros, this is done through your partner normally, do you have a partner?
ASKER
Bit of a complex answer that one. In summary, no we don't have a partner. Would need to email or message if more info was needed as not suitable for public forum
Was I doing the correct thing though, i.e save it, compile , and then it should work. I don't need to worry about layers or anything
many thanks
