Dynamics Ax 2012 AIF Import CSV File Part 1: Consume WebserviceApril 11, 2011 .Net, Ax 2012, Dynamics Ax, WCF AIF, AX2012, Dynamics Ax

I will start a series for AIF 2012 to use the Inbound port file adapter settings structured:

Part 1: Consume Web ServicePart 2: Create Item from File adapterPart 3: Import CSV file with items Through AIF

The aim is to start from a web service to consume an AIF service, and then move that to a file systemadapter. I will that take that a step further by adding a .Net transformation library so that we can importa CSV file to do the same. Allthroughoutthe process, there will be no change done within Dynamics Axitself.

The service I am going to consumethroughoutthe series is the InventItemService, and i will create anitem.

With AX2012, we need to create a product and then release it. So for this demonstration, I will assumethat the Products have been created, but have not been released yet.The AIF webserviceInventItemService.create will do this for us.

Create and Consume web service:I have found consuming AIF as web services easier than File adapter, which is why I start with this andthen move this over to the File adapter.

Setting the AIF HTTP port to expose the InventItemService.Create:



Add InventItemService.create to the port

Once the Inbound port is activated, we can consume this in Visual studio. I shall create a Consoleapplication, and hard code the items to be created.

In Visual studio, add the service reference using the URI field of the Inbound Port.

For a more detailed process on how to use the inventItemService.create look at this link: How to createan item using ItemServices and EcoResProductServices in AX 2012On Running the code above, the Item is displayed in the Console, and if you check AX, the item SS001 isnow a part of the Released products.

Item SS001 added to the released products

This is what we will replicate across to the File System adapter. in Part 2 and 3
