Hello.

For Microsoft Dynamic AX 2009 :

I want to modify some of the web-parts, when using Microsoft Dynamic AX 2009 using sharepoint (I was lead to this forum from dynamic group).

What I do is :

On sharepoint :

Site action -> edit page.

On the web part :

Edit -> Modify shared web part.

What I see on the properties behind is :

(... Managed with combo. Sorry for translation - it's in Hebrew language: the chosen item is : CustomerListGrid).

I have looked on Microsoft Dynamic AX on AOT :

Web -> Web contents -> Managed and see the "CustomerListGrid".

I choose "properties", and seen that for "CustomerListGrid" :

ObjectType = WebControl

Object = CustomerListGrid

On Web -> Web files -> Web controls -> CustomerListGrid -> I did "Edit", and see an html page.

I have changed the header text for :

DataSetView = "CustTable" DataField="AccountNum"

from "<%$ axlabel:@SYS112132 %>" to "Test !!"

(HeaderText = "Test !!")

*** The last thing is refresh the page of the site - but I didn't see the changes take affects.

What is wrong ?

Thanks :)

Is it on a 64 bit server or a 32 bit server?

The windows' server is 64 bit - Windows Server 2008 standard.

Is this what you meant? What should I check?

Thanks :)

The modification must be copied from the AOT to Sharepoint. You can do that manually by right-clicking the AOT > Web > Web Files > Web Controls and choosing Deploy. You'll also need to recycle the IIS application pool.

In the development cookbook there is a chapter about 64 bit machine deployment.

blogs.msdn.com/.../ax-2009-ep-development-cookbook.aspx

If your server was 32 bit then your changes in the aot would be pushed to sharepoint but because you are using a 64 bit server you need to change a method in ax. (see the document for more details)

I edit them in visual studio and just manually copy the files from my visual studio project to the _layouts/ep folder in sharepoint if you dont want to change the code in the standard ax class.

The link you gave - I didn't find any document, or clue to 32/64 bit?

But before that : when I doing deployment I got a message that Windows SharePoint Services isn't installed - Should I install it, and where and what name is the installation file?

Thanks :)

Also I have found a download on the link :

technet.microsoft.com/.../bb400747

What is the preffered installation?

(With/Without SP2. Language installation?)

Also - What is the correct version (3.0?) ?

Thanks :)

Ax searches in the registry for a certain entry, but it will only look for a 32 bit entry.

So the message isn't correct and you don't need to install anything.

You just have fewer deployment options when using a 64 bit server.

I didn't understand what should I do in order I won't get the message that Windows Sharepoint services isn't installed when doing deployment (AOT > Web > Web Files > Web Controls and choosing Deploy) ?

Also, I saw a discussion on the blog :

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/emeadaxsupport/archive/2009/05/13/updating-enterprise-portal-from-dynamics-ax-2009-client-fails-on-a-64bit-microsoft-windows-server.aspx

AxUpdatePortal.exe is installed, but I cannot run it (some dlls are missing, such as "Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Deployment.Portal"), and I don't know whether SP1 is installed - How can I check if that is correct?

Thanks :)

You will always get the message when installed on a 64 bit server.

So you can either use the axupdateportal or run the install to deploy your webcontrols.

I would just run the SP1 install and look if it already has done or check the version of your ax client.

As my previous post there is a problem on : axupdateportal.exe (missing Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Deployment.Portal" dll), so I cannot run it.

Maybe there is something wrong on installation Dynamic AX with SharePoint.

Thanks :)
