A hodgepodge of stuff related to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.
Microsoft’s official iOS app for Dynamics 365 for Operations is available in the iTunes App Store since a couple of hours. A version for Android was available before already (in the Google Play Store). An app for Windows 10 (mobile) is on its way surely.

Some days ago a colleague of mine had an interesting question for me. “Clearly there’s data in the underlying table but this Data Entity’s view doesn’t provide any values in several fields. Do you know why?” Here’s what we found.
After I was able to fix the Management Reporter 2012 Process Service the next step was to reset the data mart. In some certain cases you need to do that to make Financial Reporting deliver the correct data again – one of them and probably the most likely is when you restored a database backup. For some that might be obvious because Management Reporter integrates data incrementally.
If you’re using a local copy of the AX7 Update 1 (aka May Update) virtual machine (.vhd) and experience issues with starting the Management Reporter 2012 Process Service (in Windows Services) that might be because you needed to rename the machine name. This is a very common scenario, of course. Here’s how to handle it.

I took some run-up and showed a couple of things within the last blog posts I want to bring together now for a small example how you can build an small but useful extension to the new Microsoft Dynamics AX. Amongst others, there were examples for event subscriptions, project export/import, how to use the Browser class, create an extension package and a way to search the Wiki cleverly. Today I want to combine all of that into a simple solution that uses extending techniques only and adds the ability to search the Wiki via Bing directly from AX.
I’ve just shown you some examples for event handlers. Now I want to outline a way to find examples yourself. You surely could use the Metadata Search feature in Visual Studio but usually I prefer to do it in the folders that contain the xml files directly.
Often when creating a new event subscription (some time ago I wrote about Events and Subscriptions in the new Dynamics AX) I need to look up how I can access stuff from the given parameters. So here are some random examples listed, without making claims of being complete.
