Dear team,

As we have concept like Client and Server in AX 2012 R3

Is the Table - Methods and Classes are always executed in Server by default.

Form methods are always executed in Client by default.

Is it?

Kindly advise pls.

Thanks in advance.

Forms are on client, that's correct.

It's not true that table and class methods execute on server; they may run on client as well. By default, they execute on the tier where they're called from, but certain methods or classes may be set to always run on a specific tier.

Thanks Martin,

So, to execute the code in Server, can we use the keyword "Server" on the custom class or custom table methods or custom form methods and Run on property set to Server for the menu item.

Am I correct?

Is these the only way to execute on server side if required.

Kindly advise pls.

No, I doesn't apply to form methods. Forms always run on client.

Thanks Martin,

So, we should go for only Class and Table methods to use Server keyword...

Menu item - Run on property set to Server if required.

Correct?

Yes, you can say that, with some simplification.
