Excel Add-in - Custom field in AX table priceDiscTable is not being updated from Excel with new values.

Posted on by Nadeem 815

Hi,

AX 2012 R3 CU8.

We have created a new field in PriceDiscTable in AX.

User open the Excel and conenct to the AX using Dynamics AX Add-in,

User add the table PriceDiscTable.

Refresh and update the value of custom field for the PriceDisctable.

Publish the data but custom field for PriceDiscTable does not get updated.

I can see one class avaialble in AX "AXpriceDiscTable". If I add a new parm method and set method in the class then is there any other step required  before data can be updated from Excel for this custom field or is there any other way to update the custom field for this table from Excel?

thanks,

Regards,
Nadeem

    The class changes require Full CIL to be executed, to generate code that can run server-side. Please only carry that out in a maintenance window with only 1 AX AOS running, unless you use a modelstore deployment with CIL already generated in the source environment.

    A full CIL will do the trick, but I've also had success just doing the steps below after the field is added to the table and the parm method added to the Axtable class. 

    AOT -> Tools  -> Cache -> refresh data & refresh dictionary

    Then open form AifService and click Refresh button.  

    Then re-deploy the AifGDS service group.  

    In Excel -> Add-Data -> Add-Tables, add your table and edit.

    Hi Colby,

    I have tried all the steps but it is still not updating from Excel.

    I have tried full compilation.

    Refreshed through AIF form using Refresh butrton.

    Re-deployed AIFGDS service group.

    Restarted AOS service as well.

    All details of change below.

    I have one new field in PriceDiscTable.

    I have modified class AXPriceDiscTable as below.

    New method:

    public PER_SalesContext parm_SalesContext(PER_SalesContext _PER_SalesContext = PER_SalesContext::All)

    {

       if (!prmisDefault(_PER_SalesContext))

       {

           this.setField(fieldNum(PriceDiscTable, PER_SalesContext), _PER_SalesContext);

       }

       return priceDiscTable.PER_SalesContext;

    }

    protected void setPER_SalesContext()

    {

       if (this.isMethodExecuted(funcName(), fieldNum(PriceDiscTable, PER_SalesContext)))

       {

           return;

       }

    }

    Modified method SetTableFields() of class AXPriceDiscTable.

    by adding below line to it.

    this.setPER_SalesContext();

    Is there anything else I have to do?

    thanks,

    Hi Colby,

    It is working for me now.

    Below method name was not correct as it should be same as table field name and I also removed the default value.

    public PER_SalesContext parm_SalesContext(PER_SalesContext _PER_SalesContext = PER_SalesContext::All)

    I have corrected this as below.

    public PER_SalesContext parmPER_SalesContext(PER_SalesContext _PER_SalesContext )

    Carried out below steps.

    1- Incremental CIL generation.

    2- Refresh Caches.

        AOT -> Tools  -> Cache -> refresh data & refresh dictionary

    3- Open form AifService and click Refresh button.  

    4- Re-deployed AIFGDS service group.

    5- Tried from Excel and it worked.

    Thanks again.
