How to get DMFDefinitionGroupEntity.SampleFilePath in String instead of GUID [AX7]

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by O.Naga

Hello,

In AX7, I would like to know how to get DMFDefinitionGroupEntity.SampleFilePath in String instead of GUID.

In AX2012, DMFDefinitionGroupEntity.SampleFilePath had a filepath  like "C:\xxxxxxx\yyyy".

But in AX7, DMFDefinitionGroupEntity.SampleFilePath has a completely different character string from filepath like "31AFRHX".

(Because of changing an architecture)

All I want to do in DataManagement is below:
・To import a files located in a "specific path"
・To export a files to locate in a "specific path"

When I developed in AX2012, I got a "specific path" from DMFDefinitionGroupEntity.SampleFilePath.

Best Regards.

    To import files from a machine to your system to Dynamics AX running somewhere is Azure data center, you need an application in your system that will handle this communication. AX in Azure can't magically connect to your computer and read your files.

    Specifically, you have to write an app that reads files in a "specific path" and push them to AX through the enqueue web service, and download files from the cloud using the dequeuer service and save them in the ""specific path".

    It explained in detail in Recurring integrations and Service endpoints on wiki; a demo application is on GitHub.

    HI Martin,

    Thank you for your answer and apologize for replying late.

    I have been trying recurring, but I haven't been yet.

    By the way,

    I have been trying in on-premise, not Azure, but do you think it doesn't matter?

    Best Regards.
