Please explain that for what scenario you need this functionality.

Form and job, class are different. If you call the class inside the form, you can use datasource_ds.research() and datasource_ds.refresh().

Otherwise, you can call the datasource_ds.research() and datasource_ds.refresh() methods in timing basis, you may be use timer functions.

The scenario is that i get data from outside of ax and i need to insert it in to ax table.I have a class which captures the values and insert it in to the tables. Once the data is inserted i want the respective form to be refreshed from my class.

Form to be refreshed means refresh the datasource of the opened form. Is it correct?

If yes, i think that, we can't call the opened form or refresh the form datasource from outside of the form.

You can add the refresh button to refresh the updated records or call the refresh functions by using timer functions.

You will need to use FormDataSource class to refresh the callet form datasource from the class. Check out an example on this blog

Additionally you can also find many examples in standard AX classes.

Hope this helps.

Please write a method(yourmethodOnTheForm) in caller form, as DS_executequery()/refresh and call it in class as

Object caller = _args.caller();

if (caller is FormRun && formHasMethod(caller, identifierStr(yourmethodOnTheForm)))

{

caller.yourmethodOnTheForm();

}
