Hi!

I have project in C# which take some data from AX...

Project doesn't use crossCompany ability and i dont want to refactor whole solution to use it...

Changing company is made by Logoff and Logon...

public void SetCompany(string companyId)
        {
            AXSession.Logoff();
            AXSession.Logon(companyId, null, ConfigurationManager.AOSAddress, null);
        }

This approach made this solution is very slow... and im looking for some clever concept.

Do you have idea how to do this ??

Is it possible to permanetly change company...

Thank you in advance!

You may call static class methods from C# just fine. Put your changeCompany code block around the functionality which you want to run within Dynamics AX X++ in that method, problem solved.

You showed me X++ code... But in C# this functionality wouldnt work...

I can only CallStaticClassMethod but i can't indicate piece of sourcecode which should work inside...

If i have Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.ManagedInterop.Session session i could only call:

session.CallStaticClassMethod("Global", "changeCompany" , "CompanyId"); where should i put source code which will run in CompanyId ??

By the way, it seems that you're still using Business Connector, despite the fact that it doesn't exist in AX 7 and therefore you won't be able to upgrade your solution. Changing the architecture to web services would be allow you to upgrade, you could easily set the company through CallContext and you wouldn't have any performance problems with logging in.

You missed my point. You should do it in X++ for the business logic that you want to invoke from outside, you cannot change company within C# since the session manager is bound to the company context which you have passed in.

So if you call a method like "thisismymethod" in "thisismyclass" class as a static call, you'd do the changecompany in X++ within thisismymethod. There are no other workarounds, since the changecompany is only true for the scope of the code block inside that calls' braces.

Oooo this is very bad information :( I didnt know that AX7 not supporting BC... AX7 is a vision of future for company that i work for... but it will be nice if my solution would work fine after upgrade... Do you know some good documentation how to use Web Services instead of BC ?? Most of information is focused on use Web Services in AX... But i need to use it from AX :)

I've collected some links at Docs.com: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012: AIF and Web Services. Note that AIF document services don't exist in AX 7 either (they've been replaced with data entities exposed through OData), therefore you would have to rework your solution during upgrade anyway (but at least you would already have a document-oriented architecture). If your solution is a good candidate for custom services (which may be the case, if you chose BC before instead of document services), you'll be able to use your custom services in AX 7 too with almost no changes.
