Custom Service using File System Adapter

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by chendurkumar 225

Hi,

I have created a Custom service and corresponding port with File system adapter. Now, i have to initialize this custom service inside AX (say on some button click) so that a XML file will be generated and saved into the file system adapter folder.

So could you please help me to tell how to initialize any custom service inside AX ... seems no one have tried this :(  

Any help is appreciated !

Cheers,

Kumar

    If you really mean a custom service (as per AX2012 terminology) and not a custom document service, the question is interesting. I'm surprised that you can add custom services to outbound ports at all (but yes, you can). I'm quite sure you can't use the existing infrastructure for outbound document services with any general service, therefore I would say that you can't reasonably use custom services in outbound ports. If you want to save data created by a method to a file, just do that - you don't need AIF.

    If your question is indeed about document services, please look at Walkthrough: Deploying the Document Service in an Outbound Exchange.

    Hi Martin,

    I meant the real Custom Service where i have my own Data contracts defined !

    For example, if I use Service groups and automatic deployment then by default framework creates a NetTcp Adapter for my custom service and I could WSDL to initialize my service.

    If I am right, like NetTcp, file system is another kind of adapter ... So logically its possible but not technically :(

    Cheers,

    Kumar

    When a NetTcp inbound is deployed, WCF (C#) classes are generated and a WCF endpoint is exposed by AOS for service calls. When a WCF message is received, AX business logic is executed (synchronously).

    When you use the outbound file-system adapter, AX asynchronously (queues, batches) use X++ classes to serialize data and call an X++ class (AifFileSystemSendAdapter) to save the file to file system. (No WCF involved.)

    It doesn't sound very similar to me.
