Hello Every One,
Is it possible to find a node under AOT ? (eg: Queries/Data sources/datasource1/datasource2).
As mentioned in the above example Under queries I have Data sources again data sources inside data sources and so on. Now I would like to find data source node using it's name . Either it may be direct node or child or grand child ...
Thanks,
Phani
Hi
If you could query the Dynamics AX Model Database to find a string across all objects? Well, using the simple SQL Query below, you can. Here’s how to search X code using Dynamics AX model database:
SELECT RootHandle.Name RootElementName,
ElementHandle.Name ElementName,
ElementTypes.ElementTypeName Type,
CAST(Sources.SourceText AS nvarchar(MAX)) SourceText
FROM Sources Sources
JOIN ModelElement ElementHandle
ON Sources.SourceHandle = ElementHandle.ElementHandle
JOIN ModelElement RootHandle
ON RootHandle.ElementHandle = ElementHandle.RootHandle
JOIN ElementTypes ElementTypes
ON ElementTypes.ElementType = ElementHandle.ElementType
WHERE CAST(Sources.SourceText AS nvarchar(MAX)) LIKE '%h.karimi%'
Thinking about it, there is no need to hesitate the loop as long as we don't print to the screen.
I've written something more general below. The code is returning all the nodes. I just printed out dataSource and relations but you can see the whole tree if you open the closed info

void getNode(TreeNode _objTreeNode)

TreeNode objTreeNodeTmp;
objTreeNode = objTreeNode.AOTfirstChild();
while (objTreeNode)

if(objTreeNode.AOTparent() && objTreeNode.AOTparent().treeNodeName() == "Data Sources")
{
info("------DATASOURCENAME------" objTreeNode.treeNodeName());
info(objTreeNode.treeNodePath());

info("------Relations------" objTreeNode.treeNodeName());
}
//all object info
//info(objTreeNode.treeNodeName());
if(objTreeNode.AOTfirstChild())//objTreeNode.treeNodeName() == "Data Sources")
{
getNode(objTreeNode);
}
objTreeNode = objTreeNode.AOTnextSibling();
}
}
;
//rootObjTreeNode = TreeNode::findNode(#QueriesPath "\\" queryStr(custAutoSettlement));
//rootObjTreeNode = TreeNode::findNode(#FormsPath "\\" formStr(CustBillingCode));
rootObjTreeNode = TreeNode::findNode(#ViewsPath "\\VendorView" );
if(rootObjTreeNode)
{
getNode(rootObjTreeNode);
}
}
For Form DataSouce
static void getFormDataSourceNames(Args _args)
{
#AOT
TreeNode rootObjTreeNode;
void getNode(TreeNode _objTreeNode)
{
TreeNode objTreeNode = _objTreeNode;
TreeNode objTreeNodeTmp;
objTreeNode = objTreeNode.AOTfirstChild();
while (objTreeNode)
{
if(objTreeNode.treeNodeName() == "Data Sources")
{
getNode(objTreeNode);
}
if(objTreeNode.AOTparent() && objTreeNode.AOTparent().treeNodeName() == "Data Sources")
{
info(objTreeNode.treeNodeName());
}
objTreeNode = objTreeNode.AOTnextSibling();
}
}
;
//rootObjTreeNode = TreeNode::findNode(#QueriesPath "\\" queryStr(custAutoSettlement));
rootObjTreeNode = TreeNode::findNode(#FormsPath "\\" formStr(CustBillingCode));
if(rootObjTreeNode)
{
getNode(rootObjTreeNode);
}
}
If you want to see all the objects, it is possible to write a common structure that goes around the tree, but the code will visit the nodes that you are not interested in.
If you want something more targeted, you need to play with codes. For example, below I wrote a code that browses the datasources under Query. It is possible to write similar things.
static void getQueryDataSourceNames(Args _args)
{
#AOT
TreeNode rootObjTreeNode;
void getNode(TreeNode _objTreeNode)
{
TreeNode objTreeNode = _objTreeNode;
objTreeNode = objTreeNode.AOTfirstChild();
while (objTreeNode)
{
if(objTreeNode.treeNodeName() == "Data Sources")
{
objTreeNode = objTreeNode.AOTfirstChild();
if(objTreeNode)
{
info(objTreeNode.treeNodeName());
getNode(objTreeNode);
}
else
return;
}
objTreeNode = objTreeNode.AOTnextSibling();
}
}
;
rootObjTreeNode = TreeNode::findNode(#QueriesPath "\\" queryStr(custAutoSettlement));
if(rootObjTreeNode)
{
getNode(rootObjTreeNode);
}
}
Which of the things mentioned above do you mean?
Hi Martin,
Thanks for you reply,
Is the above applicable also for other AOT nodes like Queries or is it bit different?
Thanks,
Phani
You have two main options. Either you'll use generic reflections APIs, such as TreeNode (TreeNodeIterator etc.) or SysModel* tables.
Or, in this particular case, you can use methods of FormRun and related classes. For example:
FormDataSource formDataSource;
int i;
for (i = 1; i <= formRun.dataSourceCount(); i )
{
formDataSource = _formRun.dataSource(i);
if (formDataSource.name() == xyz)
{
...
}
}
Hi Ergün Şahin,
My code should be generic like under Address form there is a data source and again inside one more data source . so just passing a data source name
is it possible to find the data source node.it can be present in parent level, child or grand child level. I don't want to point directly as you mentioned above. if it is possible to search be data source name that would help.
Thanks,
Phani
You can use TreeNode::findNode
TreeNode::findNode("\\Forms\\Address\\Data Sources\\Address\\Methods\\delete");
