Dynamics AX - XML (Magic xpi 4.1)
The Dynamics AX connector is designed to work with Magic xpi’s XML interface. When you drag the Dynamics AX connector into a flow, the Component Properties dialog box opens. Click Configuration to open the Dynamics AX Configuration dialog box.
This dialog box contains the following fields:
|
|
|
|
Connection
|
|
Resource Name
|
The name of the resource, previously defined in the Resource Repository, that you selected in the Component Properties dialog box's Settings tab.
|
|
Operation
|
|
Contract
|
Select the required contract from the drop-down list. This list is populated with contracts that are saved when you click the Dynamics AX Resource Setting window's Load Service button.
|
|
Operation
|
Select the required operation from the drop-down list. This list is populated with all the operations that are relevant for use with the contract that you selected in the Contract field (above).
|
Note:
|
During the mapping stage, when working with Read, Update, and Delete operations, you should use the EntityKey element and not the KeyField element if you want to submit multiple record requests in a single execution. For a single record, you can use either the KeyField record or the EntityKey record.

Note:
|
Although not recommended, if you changed your schema manually, you need to set the XSD File property in the Dynamics AX IFC model. You will see this property by clicking the Properties button on the Destination side of the Data Mapper that opens after you configure the Dynamics AX connector and click OK. If you change the XSD path in this property, the schema's original root that was generated in the resource will not be changed.
