.NET Business Connector 4.0 & 2009

Posted on by Microsoft Employee
Hey, Is it possible to run these two versions of BC next to each other on the same machine? Or does the .NET business connector from 2009 work perfectly with Dynamics Ax 4.0 configurations? Several of our customers still operate on 4.0. So we still have to be able to connect to 4.0. Tx

    Only AX 2009 is installed on the box.  We have an outside WMS system which we are trying to interface to AX 2009.  The WMS system was written to work with the Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessConnectorNet.dll in AX4.0.  We are trying to determine if we need to recode the WMS system to work with AX5.0. Currently we are trying to logon from the WMS system to AX (calling Axapta.LogonAs method) and having no success.  We are trying to determine if changes to the dll in 2009 could be causing the log on failure (ie 4.0 dll cannot be used with 2009) or if we have some issue with the logon criteria).

    Thanks,
    Ericka

    If you install AX 4 and AX 2009 on the same box, the reporting service cannot run correctly.

    You mentioend:

    [quote user="Oleksandr Maliutenko"] don't think you can connect through .Net connector for 2009 to AX 4.0 AOS.[/quote]

    Is it possible to use the 4.0 Connector .dll to connect to AX 2009? We have an outside application which was written against the 4.0 dll.

    Thanks,
    Ericka

     Hi,

    Yes, you  can run both on one PC. They even use different default parameters, so you can setup them for different AX instances.

    I had an application which use .Net connector from both versions without recompilation - I just substitute one connector .dll by another and it works.

    I don't think you can connect through .Net connector for 2009 to AX 4.0 AOS.

     Regards

    Oleksandr
