Hello everyone,

Im working on AX 2012 R2 CU6 security task using Security Development Tool. I'm facing 2 issues:

1. Is it possible to export the MenuTree in Security Development Tool when Role is selected and how to do that?

2. How can I get the parent form of a menu item? Ex: I have menu button A, how can I get the form that contains the menu button A?

Thank you.

Hi Long,

1. You can get such information from AOT as treeview control itself does not store anything in tables which You can read and export. However, you can go to particular role in AOT and right click | add-ins | Security tools | View related security objects. There is a button to export these into excel

2. Right click menu item in AOT | Add-ins | Open new windows | Open used form

Hi Faisal,

Thank you for fast response. But I have to do all this by code.

I have built a tool to export all permission and menu path of selected Security Roles. It worked well but I cant get deeper into the Form's buttons.

Like this, I just only can get the path of Menus, but i also want to get the menu items in those Forms too. Thats my problem.

Ex: The "button - load to do pattern" is shown in "Form B". All I want is the menu path of that, like "Module A/Inquiries/Form B/Button - Load to do pattern".

Any ideas?

Hi Aakash,

You can have that by using Security Development tools. I used that tool and implemented the code of Ivan Kashperuk.

public void findMenuItemUserPath()

{

MenuFunction mf = new MenuFunction(element.args().menuItemName(), element.args().menuItemType());

str menuLabel;

boolean iterateMenus(SysDictMenu _menu)

{

SysMenuEnumerator menuEnum = _menu.getEnumerator();

SysDictMenu subMenu;

boolean found;

while (menuEnum.moveNext())

{

subMenu = menuEnum.current();

if (subMenu.isMenu() || subMenu.isMenuReference())

{

found = iterateMenus(subMenu);

if (found) // If found, just climb back up the stack

{

menuLabel = strFmt('%1/%2', subMenu.label(), menuLabel);

return found;

}

}

else if (subMenu.isMenuItem() && subMenu.isValid() && subMenu.isVisible() && subMenu.menuItem().name() == mf.name() && subMenu.menuItem().type() == mf.type())

{

menuLabel = subMenu.label();

return true;

}

}

return false;

}

if (iterateMenus(SysDictMenu::newMainMenu()))

{

info(strfmt('%1/%2', strUpr(curext()), menuLabel));

}

else

{

warning('Not found in the Main Menu');

}

}
