Batch parameters

Posted on by Community Member

Good morning,

I was curious where batch job parameter values are kept in the AX system. I assume they're in the table structure somewhere. For instance, if I were to schedule the Open sales by line report as a batch, where does AX hold the Print destination parameter for the report output? I'm looking for a way to modify the value through code. 

Thank you in advance.

    They are stored as a container in the Parameters field of the Batch table.

    RE: Batch parameters

    Hi Jens,

    I looped through the parameter container and didn't see anything that corresponds to the value I was looking for. However, there is a value ...

    {218A05F4-2721-474C-9F17-872A1AFE3AD0}

    I'm not sure how to decipher what data this actually holds.

    Would you be able to offer some assistance?

    Thanks very much.

    It's the right place - if you don't see there what you expect, you have wrong expectations.

    The value is a GUID.

    If you need more information from us, please explain your particular problem.

    I wont look it up right now, but if I remember correctly the printer settings are also stored in a container. So you probably have to look for a container in the parameters container.

    Ah, this is about printer settings...

    Forget about implementation details such as how the values are serialized, you don't need and even shouldn't change it directly - there are already classed that will do these things for you.

    Please tell us more about the business requirement, e.g. when you want to change printer settings.

    Hi Martin,

    We have a number of batch jobs which output files to shared storage. I need to point their destination to a new storage location but rather than manually changing them I was looking for a programmatic way to accomplish it. Hope that helps.

    For example:

    SRSPrintDestinationSettings settings;
settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::Excel);
settings.fileName(@'\\share\report.xlsx');
