Template for Development

Template development is a useful tool to be easy on development which is create by projects Development base at AOT, it is usually same structure with AOT structure the different is member of main structure only entity or member that is using on current project development, on the simple meaning template development is use to simplify AOT Structure member which is showing only customize object or relate object. Every developer can make this tools or use my tools as Attached at this blog in 3 version axapta as below :

To use this tool only import the file was downloaded before to AOT, after that on AOT Project member would seems a new member with name 'TomiDevTools'.

'TomiDevTools' is a template, so we need to duplicate before using for a project development. The example: I have a requirement to create a batch process to calculate data from customer invoice (custinvoicejour), to make this requirement I need table custinvoicejour and create JOB at AOT to calculate on development server environment, after that export the project then import on production server environment. The first step is duplicating the Project and then rename to the project name (test_job). == The pictures on version DAX 2009 ==

After that drag table custinvoicejour from AOT standard to the AOT current project (test_job) if 'Job' was created then drag also, otherwise we can create directly on current project AOT

We can see the different between AOT standard and AOT at project with template. We don't need to see all member of AOT when main structure collapse and easy to maintain entity/member used.

After made the project we need to export the project to production server. By this tool we don't have to export one by one, we just export the Project that will export the whole of customize or entity/member of project.

If XPO file of export from development server available then we have to import the file to the production server.

Have a nice day to try!
