Posted on by Lalith_Sahith 41

Hi All,

Being a fact that RunBase and SysOperation Frameworks of developing batch jobs differ at the way they Use MVC, What is the exact difference between RunBase and SysOperation framework? Why AX is moving towards latter from former??

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ievgen,

    Great article by Joris.

    But I'm still confused, How does Serialization, Deserialization works in SysOperation?

    Are the DataMemberAttribute auto serialized by the framework and we don't have to manually implement pack/unpack?

    They are handled by the framework, no manual implementation of pack / unpack is needed.

    Yep, framework uses attributes on contract methods to automatically pack and unpack and also to build dialog.
