Hello All,
I am new to dynamics AX and we have to create a contact person in AX using console application.
We created a new web service in AX and we have the WSDL for that
Can some one provide is with an example of how to create a proper contact in dynamics AX using the AIF web service.
Regards,
Abhi
If I open the link I gave you and search for "contact person", I can find the service. Please try these steps by youself. If you don't know how to find text on a web site, consult documentation of your web browser. I'm using Firefox and all I need to do is pressing Ctrl+F and typing the text to search.
I'm sorry, but saying mere "The below code is generating errors" isn't sufficient. Are you still talking about the single error "Could not connect to ...", or do you mean other errors? If other, please explain whether they're compilation errors or runtime errors, where exactly they occur and what the error messages are.
You can read F&O documentation to learn more about AIF and services, such as what types are available.
Thank you Martin for the information.
I am new to Dynamics AX do not know different between the document service and custom service.
In our AX 2012 version we could not find any service related to Contacts or Customers, do we have our of box services already build for Customers and Contacts? Do they have any particular standard names?
The below code is generating errors. I am not sure exactly what is missing.

The below code works and creates a customer in the AX
CustomerServiceClient client = new CustomerServiceClient();
CallContext context = new CallContext();
context.Company = "xxx";
AxdCustomer customer = new AxdCustomer();
AxdEntity_CustTable custTable = new AxdEntity_CustTable();
custTable.CustGroup = "xxx";
custTable.AccountNum = "xxxx";
custTable.Currency = "xx";
custTable.TaxGroup = "xxx";
custTable.VATNum = "BExxxxxxxxxx";
/*custTable.OneTimeCustomer = AxdExtType_OneTimeCustomer.Yes;
custTable.OneTimeCustomerSpecified = true;*/
AxdEntity_DirParty_DirOrganization org = new AxdEntity_DirParty_DirOrganization();
org.Name = "Test Org Name 2";
custTable.DirParty = new AxdEntity_DirParty_DirPartyTable[1] { org };
customer.CustTable = new AxdEntity_CustTable[1] { custTable };
try
{
client.create(context, customer);
Console.WriteLine("Write Completed");
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception : {0}", e.Message);
client.Abort();
}
I am not able to figure out why contact is not created?
I created a contact manually in AX system and it is taking only few fields
1) Contact For field => A drop down to Party,
2) First Name,
3) Middle Name and
4) Last Name.
Your code is for a document service, not a custom service. So let me ask you: why exactly did you create your own document service instead of using the existing one? You probably have a problem in your new document service, and you shouldn't waste time with trying to fix it if it shouldn't exist at all.
By the way, please always use Insert > Code (in the rich-formatting view) to paste source code. It'll be much easier to read and work with.
I am able to create a customer with new service which we created
CustomerServiceClient client = new CustomerServiceClient();
CallContext context = new CallContext();
context.Company = "xxx";
AxdCustomer customer = new AxdCustomer();
AxdEntity_CustTable custTable = new AxdEntity_CustTable();
custTable.CustGroup = "xxx";
custTable.AccountNum = "xxxx";
custTable.Currency = "xx";
custTable.TaxGroup = "xxx";
custTable.VATNum = "BExxxxxxxxxx";
/*custTable.OneTimeCustomer = AxdExtType_OneTimeCustomer.Yes;
custTable.OneTimeCustomerSpecified = true;*/
AxdEntity_DirParty_DirOrganization org = new AxdEntity_DirParty_DirOrganization();
org.Name = "Test Org Name 2";
custTable.DirParty = new AxdEntity_DirParty_DirPartyTable[1] { org };
customer.CustTable = new AxdEntity_CustTable[1] { custTable };
try
{
client.create(context, customer);
Console.WriteLine("Write Completed");
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception : {0}", e.Message);
client.Abort();
}
Hello Martin, Yes we create new inboundport and i am trying to create a contact with below code it is not working.
ContactPersonsServiceClient client = new ContactPersonsServiceClient();
CallContext context = new CallContext();
context.Company = "xxx";
AxdContactPersons contactPersons = new AxdContactPersons();
AxdEntity_ContactPerson[] contacts = new AxdEntity_ContactPerson[1];
AxdEntity_ContactPerson contact = new AxdEntity_ContactPerson();
contact.AssistantName = "Test Assistant";
//contact.CustAccount = "xxxx";
//contact.ContactForPartyCustAccount = "xxxx";
contact.ContactForParty = "xxx";
contact.Department = "xxx";
//Set the name fields
AxdEntity_PersonName personName = new AxdEntity_PersonName();
personName.FirstName = "ContactFTest";
personName.MiddleName = "MiddleTest";
personName.LastName = "LastTest";
AxdEntity_Person_DirPerson person1 = new AxdEntity_Person_DirPerson();
person1.NameAlias = "ContactFTest";
person1.NameSequence = "FirstMiddleLast";
person1.PersonName = new AxdEntity_PersonName[1] { personName };
contact.Person = new AxdEntity_Person_DirPerson[1] { person1 };
//contact.Party = "xxxx";
contacts[0] = contact;
contactPersons.ContactPerson = contacts;
try
{
client.create(context, contactPersons);
Console.WriteLine("Write Completed");
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception : {0}", e.Message);
client.Abort();
}
Okay, so you've decided not to the standard document service and you rather create a custom service (not a document service) doing something similar.
You didn't mention generating CIL and configuring an inbound port. Have you done that?
Dear Martin,
Thank you for the information. We created a custom service in AX it is called ContactPersonService and i added it in the Console app in the service reference.
and when i am executing the request
i am getting the below error
"Could not connect to \"net.tcp://*****:8201/DynamicsAx/Services/ContactPersonServices\". The connection attempt lasted for a period of 00:00:21.0037801. TCP error code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the remote party did not properly respond after a period of time, or the established connection failed because the connected host did not respond AX Server IP Address:8201."
Do you have any idea?
Regards,
Abhilash
Do you mean AIF document services? There already is a standard document service for contact persons.
Are you familiar with WCF? Do you know how to add a service reference in Visual Studio?
