There are times when we get into situtations with ID conflicts in these cases rather than changing the IDs directly in the SQL Dictionary we could use the helper methods in the ReleaseUpdateDB class:
changeFieldByAOTName
changeFieldByName
changeFieldId
changeNameByFieldId
changeTableByAOTName
changeTableByName
changeTableId
We get into ID conflicts when the layers are used as deployment vehicles. Lets take up a a few examples
Case 1
1. Error Message
TableName: EmplTable
Illegal data conversion from original field EMPLTABLE.CITACTUALTITLE to EMPLTABLE.SendMail: Unable to convert data types to anything but character field type (0 to 4). Synchronize database Cannot execute the required database operation. The SQL database has issued an error.
when the error message for table synchronize is displayed it has two parts from orginal details and to details. The from part displays the details existing in the SQLDictionary whereas the "to" part displays the current details as existing in the AOT.
Thus from the above message we can infer that currently there is a field named SendMail in the EmplTable in AOT and the same field id exists with a name CITActualTitle in the database and maybe the data types are also not compatible. So if we change the existing defination in the SQL Dictionary and move the field to a different id so that it does not clash with SendMail field we should be able to resolve the issue.
2. Care a job to renumber the field
ReleaseUpdateDB::changeFieldId(103, 30001, 30002, "EmplTable", "CITACTUALTITLE");
Case 2
1. Error Message
TableName:PYLEmplAccrualCarryFwd
Illegal data conversion from original field CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA.RESIDENCENO to PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD.accrualStartDate: Unable to convert data types to anything but character field type (0 to 3).
Illegal data conversion from original field CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA.CURETYPE to PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD.AccrualEndDate: Unable to convert data types to anything but character field type (0 to 3).
Illegal data conversion from original field CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA.ANNUALCURE to PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD.CarryFwdAccrualEndDate: Unable to convert data types to anything but character field type (0 to 3).
Illegal data conversion from original field CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA.TELNO to PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD.PostingDate: Unable to convert data types to anything but character field type (0 to 3).
Illegal data conversion from original field CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA.ADDRESS to PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD.ActualCalcDate: Unable to convert data types to anything but character field type (0 to 3).
Illegal data conversion from original field CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA.EMPLNAME to PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD.Completed: Unable to convert data types to anything but character field type (0 to 4).
Synchronize database Cannot execute the required database operation. The SQL database has issued an error.
This seems like a bigger issue however thatz not the case the hint in in the fist message if we notice we can see that in this message between the original and new part the table name is also changed. What this means is that the with the id of the current object PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD there is already a table existing in the database CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA now from this point onwards all the field ids in the table would also differ hence all the balance messages.
If we change the table id in the SQLDictionary for CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA then the new table PYLEMPLACCRUALCARRYFWD would be created fresh without any conflict with the fields
2. Renumber the table id
ReleaseUpdateDB::changeTableId( 30001, 30016, "CITEMPLMEDICALCUREDATA");

Dynamics AX Command Line Parameters
Axapta Command Line
Following are Axapta Command line parameters and its description
-allowunauth
When using Windows Authentication, this option enables users that do not pass the authentication process to be allowed logging in using user name and password (traditional Axapta logon sequence). If not enabled, users will be rejected if not authenticated.
-aol="s"
aol is an acronym for Application Object Layer. Valid layers are:
sys, syp, gls, glp, dis, dip, los, lop, bus, bup, var, vap, cus, cup, usr and usp.
-aolcode="s" Access code for aol.
-aos=host:port
Connect to the AOS running at given port number on specified host. Host is either a DNS hostname (for example server1.damgaard.com) or an IP address (192.88.253.41). The port number is the number specified for the AOS instance that should be connected to. No instance name needs to be specified because only one instance can be running at a given port on a given machine. Using this option will connect the client directly to the AOS using TCP traffic only and bypass the initial search for the AOS and thereby eliminates the need for networking that supports UDP traffic. This eases firewall configuration and NAT appliances
-aos=instance@host
Connect to the specified AOS instance running at the specified host machine. Instance is the name (for example 'Axapta'), and host is DNS name or IP address of the machine running the AOS. Specifying -aos=MyAOS@MyHost equals setting -servermask=MyAOS and -internet=MyHost (or specifying these in corresponding fields on the server tab in the Configuration Utility).
-aos=ad("adsn")
Use Active Directory integration. "adsn" is the "Active Directory Server Name to search the Active Directory for. Same as "By name - find a specific AOS" in the Axapta Configuration Utility
-aos=adbrowse
Use Active Directory integration. Search the Active Directory for "Active Directory Server Names" in User objects and Organizations Units. Same as "By organization - browse for per-user or per-organizational specific AOS" in the Axapta Configuration Utility.
-aos=ad
Use Active Directory integration - search the Active Directory for any AOS. Same as "Simple - find any AOS" in the Axapta Configuration Utility
-applexclusive
The application files are opened in exclusive mode. Note applexclusive" and applshare cannot both be given. If you do give both, the one given last on the command line will take effect. You will not get any error messages.
-application=s
Specify the name of the Axapta application. Default: Standard
-applshare
The application files are opened in shared mode. This is default. Note applexclusive" and applshare cannot both be given. If you do give both, the one given last on the command line will take effect. You will not get any error messages.
-broadcast= xx.xx.xx.xx
Specify a broadcast address to be used in CLIENT mode. A request is sent to all the broadcast addresses to obtain identification of the available application servers. The address consists of four decimal values between zero and 255 separated by dots.
-bwsim=speed:latency
where speed states the bandwidth simulated (in bytes per second). The latency is specified as a number designating number of ms spent for communication round trip (the fixed overhead (time used) the network applies to sending a package to the server and receive one back). To verify....
-client
Connect to an AOS and run as a three-tier thin client. Use -aos= to specify which AOS.
client = thin : Connect to an AOS and run as a three-tier thin client.
Use -aos= to specify which AOS.
client = fat : Connect to an AOS and run as a three-tier fat client.
Use aos= to specify which AOS.
-company=s Select initial company s. Default: dat
-connectionidletimeout=seconds
Set the time in seconds to leave an idle database connection open before closing it. Shorter idle time will decrease database server and Axapta memory usage, but will potentially cause time-consuming re-logins on the fly. Default: 60 seconds is the default for Microsoft SQL Server, 30 minutes the default for Oracle.
-createdsn=microsoftsqlserver or-createdsn=oracle
Have the data source created automatically in the ODBC manager.
-createdsn_tcpipport=integer
TCP/IP port number required for Oracle. This parameter is relevant only when
-createdsn=oracle is given. The parameter is ignored if given with
-createdsn=microsoftsqlserver.
-database=s
Use database s when connecting to the database server. Default: The default option is to use the database set in the ODBC driver.
-dbcli= [ODBC][OCI]
Runs Axapta in either ODBC or OCI mode. -DBCLI=ODBC is the default.
-dbserver=s
Use server s during login. Default: The default option is to use the server set in the ODBC driver.
-dbunicodeenabled=0 1 Initialize database for Unicode
-directory=s Specify the Axapta root-directory.
-doclanguage=s
Use this option if you would like to have the documentation in a different language than the one used in menus and dialogs.
Example:
-doclanguage=da : will give you the documentation in Danish.
Default: The default is that the documentation language is identical to the language used in the system. This is set by the -language option.
-dsn=s
Use ODBC driver data source s. Default: BMSDSN
-featurekeysystem
The 3.0 security system is ON by default.Use this parameter to enable the old featurekey system.
-fetchahead=n A maximum of records retrieved from the database at a time. Default: 100
-hint=n
Apply database dependent SQL hint(s). Default: Empty for default settings.
-internal=relaxedsyntax The 3.0 kernel defaults to strict X++ syntax checking.
For relaxed syntax checking, use this parameter to ease restrictions.
-internet=s
Specify an Internet address to be used in �client mode. A request is sent to all the Internet addresses to obtain identification of the available Object servers.
-job=s
Run external job s prior to any other database-related action during startup.
Default: The default is not to run a job.
-language=s
Select language s for the user interface. Default: Language must be selected during setup.
-log=s
Name the SQL error log file (may include a full drive and path specification).
Default: trcAxaptaError.log in the standard Axapta log-directory.
-logdir=s
Use an alternative directory for the log files generated when you compile, import or export in Axapta. Default: The default is that the log files are generated in the Log folder.
-noauto
Use this parameter to bypass system related application calls made by the Axapta kernel. This includes the ability to bypass startup code, and some timer based calls. This parameter will allow you to startup Axapta in order to fix problems that were introduced in the application code. Normally these problems would prevent you from starting Axapta. For example, if code is introduced in the startup method that causes Axapta to go into infinite loop, and therefore, never finishes the startup procedure, . To change this, start with the �NOAUTO switch, correct the code and restart without the �NOAUTO to have the startup code included again.
-opencursors=n
A maximum of n database cursors are kept open per connection for cursor reuse.
Default: 90 cursors
-port=integer : TCP port for the AOS
-preloadthresholdmsec=milliseconds Time used for preloading.
For example, -preloadthresholdmsec=3000 results in the issue of a warning whenever preloading exceeds 3000 milliseconds. This value can not be specified per user in Tools, Options, SQL, Warnings. This threshold is only activated when warnings are enabled.
-preloadthresholdrecords=records Number of records preloaded.
For example, -preloadthresholdrecords=300 results in the issue of a warning whenever preloading exceeds 300 records. This value can not be specified per user in Tools, Options, SQL, Warnings. This threshold is only activated when warnings are enabled.
-querytimelimit =[table:][milliseconds]
Save queries running longer than a given number of milliseconds to file. If the value of QuerytimeLimit is zero (0), which is the default, no queries are logged. This parameter supports directing output to a table, i.e. SysTraceTable (default is disk-file). Use -QuerytimeLimit=ms for tracing all SQL statements exceeding the ms milliseconds threshold and -QuerytimeLimit=table:ms to do the same to table.
-regconfig=name Use a Registry configuration called name.
A configuration can be created using the Axapta Configuration Utility.
-regimport=file name Import a configuration to the Registry.
The import is performed prior to the evaluation of any other options. This means that you can import a configuration using �regimport and then select it using �regconfig.
-repair
Any non-zero value will force a re-synchronization of SQL system tables during startup. The use of this command-line parameter is logged in the Event log. Use this option to handle situations when problems in SQL system tables prevent Axapta from starting, for example missing indexes.
-retry=n
Delay in seconds before re-executing after a deadlock. Default: 5 seconds
-securityprovider=s
Selects the security provider to use with Windows Authentication and is only relevant for Object Server configuration. For AOS running on Windows NT the only valid option is "NTLM" which provides authentication based on the NTLM security provider. For Windows 2000 systems 'Kerberos' is also a valid security provider. For Windows 2000 networks with solely Windows 2000 servers and clients 'Negotiate' is also an option. This will elect the best suitable security provider automatically.
-serveridletimeout=seconds
Specifies how long (in seconds) the AOS instance should be allowed to be running without servicing clients. When this timeout expires without having clients connected, the instance will be shut down automatically. This option is well suited to be combined with setting instance startup mode to OnDemand making the server auto-start upon request from client and shutdown when no clients need service for at given amount of time.
-servermask=s
Specify the mask s for selecting a subset of object servers when running in CLIENT mode. if this option is not specified, and multiple object servers are found, all available object servers will be presented in a selection box.
-share
Share label and identifier files between several applications. if not specified, the files will not be shared.
-singleuser
Run the program in single user mode.
-sqlbuffer=n Set the upper limit in Kbytes of the fixed internal data retrieval buffer. Default: 24 Kbytes
-sqlcomplexliterals=n
About literals and placeholders. Setting sqlcomplexliterals to the value 1 enables this feature, the value 0 disables this feature.
-sqlformliterals=n About literals and placeholders.
Setting sqlformliterals to the value 1 enables this feature, the value 0 disables this feature.
-sqloraclefirstrowsfix=n
Oracle Versions 8.05, 8.06 and 8.15 occasionally selects a poor query plan for queries using the Axapta keyword firstFast row. The symptom is that an index matching the order by specification is preferred, even though another index much better serves the where part and the number of rows returned is small. Axapta includes a workaround for this problem, which you should only enable if you have verified that the above problem is the cause for poor performance. The Axapta Query Analyzer can be used for detecting this. A value of 1 enables this work around, a value of 0 disables this feature.
-sqlparm=s
Add additional parameters s upon database login. The format follows the ODBC standard: key1=value1;key2=value2. An example: DIR=c:\db;ID=9. Default: The default is no additional parameters.
-sqlpwd=s
Use password s upon login to the SQL database. Default: bmssa_pwd
-sqltrace[=Table]
Invoke SQL statement tracing to log file or table. Use -sqltrace for tracing all generated SQL statements to file and -sqltrace=table to do the same to table. Default: No tracing.
-sqluser=s
Use user name s during login to the SQL database. Default: bmssa
-startupmsg=s
Text to be displayed during Axapta startup.
-startupcmd=MyCommand
A string that is passed to Axapta and can be used to have your own startup commands executed. The string is passed in the calls appl.startup(MyCommand) info.startup(MyCommand) appl and info are instantiated objects of the application classes Application and Info respectively. The application classes are inherited from the system classes xApplication and xInfo. Learn more in the Developer's Guide. You can access the guide from Axapta's Help menu.
-useis Use integrated security during SQL database login
and thus disabling values set by using parameters sqluser and sqlpwd.
-user=s Log on as user s.
-useserverprinters
Have the client direct all printing to the printer connected to the server.
-warnings[=table]
Enable various run-time warnings which are logged to a file, or table. Use -warnings to trace all developer warnings to file and -warnings=table to trace all warnings to a table. Default: No warnings.

Dynamcis AX Macros
I wanted to know how i could use string substitution to change the code in X++ using Macros. As a part of playing around with macros below are the findings. Macors in AX can be define in two ways
1. #define.TableRead(select * from EmplTable where EmplTable.EmplCode == %1;)
#TableRead("E0006")
info( emplTable.EmplCode );
2. #localmacro.TableRead
select * from EmplTable where EmplTable.EmplCode == "%1";
#endmacro
#macrolib.training
#TableRead(E0006)
info( emplTable.EmplCode );
The second way is the preferred way of creating multi line macros also if the macro includes some special symbols like ) or " then the send method is preferred
#macroLib is used when the macros are defined in a macro definations node instead of the local method scope.
Inheritance and Macros
The macros defined in the class declaration of the base class are available in the sub classes however if one of the class in the hierarcy undefines the macro then that point onwards the macro are not available in the child classes.
1. #define.TableRead(select * from EmplTable where EmplTable.EmplCode == %1;)
#TableRead("E0006")
info( emplTable.EmplCode );
2. #localmacro.TableRead
select * from EmplTable where EmplTable.EmplCode == "%1";
#endmacro
#macrolib.training
#TableRead(E0006)
info( emplTable.EmplCode );
