Hi
We have an AX 2012 R3 modelstore that went through the upgrade to 8.0 and there are a whole bunch of overlayering. We are trying to use reflection to identify programmatically that which standard AX methods exist in a package that is customized by us.
I only have been able to pull such information on a class or table level, but have been unable to pull details on method content.
Let's have an example, we have changed \Classes\Application object by modifying the dbSynchronize, logInsert, logDelete, logUpdate methods, and added a couple of new methods on our own.
If I use the Metadata Search tool with the search string as per below, it does return all methods from the Application class incorrectly, because the object itself is marked as being in both ApplicationPlatform, and our custom JAD package as well:
type:"method" model:"ApplicationPlatform.JAD"
Here is the piece of code we currently have in a C# project. It can display that which packages does the parent table belong to, and we check the names of the methods within the table if it contains our prefix of JAD. However those will not reveal standard methods overlayered. How would we get those listed as well?
TreeNode is deprecated, the metadata providers do not have method-level inspection as far as I can tell, and DictMethod also does not reveal package information.
Any ideas please?
