Tutorial: Warehouse Mobile Devices Portal for the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics AX

A lot of people have been trying to use the Warehouse Mobile Devices Portal (WMDP in short) on the latest version of AX (on various CTP builds we've released), and have been having a lot of trouble with that.

We've finally published the wiki article on installing the portal on a clean environment, that contains step by step instructions on how to download the installer, and how to configure it after installation to connect to the AOS. It's available here:
https://ax.help.dynamics.com/en/wiki/warehouse-mobile-devices-portal-for-microsoft-dynamics-ax/


Also, for those who just want to quickly execute some warehouse work and are used to the WMDP emulator form - that one is still available, and can be accessed very easily through the following link

https://usncax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com/?mi=action:WHSWorkExecute&cmp=usmf

(where you need to replace usncax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com with the URL of your AX)


Hope this helps!

And let us know if you have feedback on the installation instructions wiki page through whatever way you prefer.

Thanks!

Running a class from AOT or "How to assign a class to an action menu item?"

OK, so this might seem as a very simple question for many of you.

But, in reality, I still now and then meet people who have worked with AX for quite some time, but don't know this very basic concept.

Therefore, I just want to briefly describe it here to refresh everyone's memory

Apart from allowing to run the class from AOT, this will allow to assign it to a menu item (according to Best Practices, it should be a menu item of type Action), and run the class using this menu item.

Below is the correct syntax of the main method:

public static void main(Args _args)
{
    //Your code here
}

Please also note, that there is an editor script that contains the template for the main method. You can invoke it from Scripts->template->method->main
