JumpRef method to call the form

public void jumpRef()
{
MenuFunction menuFunction;

super();

menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemdisplaystr(CustTable), MenuItemType::Display);
menuFunction.run();
}

Hide the batch tab in Dialog window in D365FO

1. Create UI builder class
2. Override the dialogPostRun method in UI builder class

protected void dialogPostRun()
{

SysOperationDialog  sysOperationDialog;
DialogTabPage         batchTabPage;
FormRun                   formRun;

super();
sysOperationDialog  = this.dialog() as SysOperationDialog;
formRun                   = sysOperationDialog.formRun();
batchTabPage          = sysOperationDialog.batchDialogTabPage();
formRun.selectControl(dialogTabPage.control());

}

Open the form in Edit mode using x++

FormRun         formRun;

Args                 args;
MenuFunction  menuFunction;

args = new Args();
args.record(VendTable::find(‘1001’));

menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemDisplayStr(VendTable), MenuItemType::Display);

if(menuFunction)
{
menuFunction.openMode(OpenMode::Edit);
formRun = menuFunction.create(args);
if(formRun)
formRun.run();
}

D365FO Setup a local build VM

1) Download the VHD from LCS and deploy it in your local infrastructure.
2) Login to the VM with RDP.
3) OpenReporting Services Configuration Manager. 
4) On Page Database, click Change Database -> Choose an existing report server datase -> Next -> Set Server Name: to 'localhost'. Test connection. It should now be ok. Save your changes.

5) In VSTS, create an Access token (similar that you need when linking an LCS project to your VSTS project) and copy the token for further use.

6) On the VM, go to C:\DynamicsSDK folder.

7) Edit SetupBuildAgent.ps1: 
- Add your VSTS project URL to $VSO_ProjectCollection variable. Change attribute Mandatory to false (otherwise the script will prompt you for input when it's executed).
- Add the Access token to $VSOAccessToken variable. 
8) Edit BuildEnvironmentReadiness.ps1: 
- Add your VSTS project URL to $VSO_ProjectCollection variable. Change attribute Mandatory to false.
- Add your VSTS project name to $ProjectName variable. Change attribute Mandatory to false.
- Add the access token to $VSOAccessTokenVariable.

9) Execute SetupBuildAgent.ps1.
10) Execute BuildEnvironmentRediness.ps1.

Now you should see the build definition in VSTS, as well as the build agent queue. Now test the build process by "Queue new build...".

D365FO - Empty Database in Local VM

In local VM ,C  drive a folder named “EmptyDataset” with inside a Database backup named “AxBootstrapDB_Empty.BAK”
I have simply restore this backup file against the AX Database and set the right GUID and email id retrieved from the “old” AX Demo Data.

D365FO - Change the One box URL

We can setup several VHD all-in-one box Environments in the same Datacenter for various purpose.

One issue is the standard base URL that usually is https://usnconeboxax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com/ for all Environments.

In order to change it and allow the team to reach the different Envs, for each Dev Box replace “usnconeboxax1aos” with the desired URL like “XXXXXXX”:

1-  Modify Endpoint URL on IIS

2- Modify web.config files in the C:\AOSService\webroot and replace all standard “url name” entries with the new one (XXXXX)

3- Modify wif.services.config as per the previous step 

4- Again on the VHD VM, modify “Hosts” file on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc like that:
127.0.0.1           xxxxx.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com

5-  Change the “hosts” file on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc in your Laptop, like:XX.XX.XX.XX     xxxx.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com 

where XX.XX.XX.XX will be the IP of the VHD Box
You have to add an entry for each VHD URL Env.

6- As the last step, make the Admin User Provisioning
