Radio Frequency Identification [RFID]

We are all aware that, Dynamics Ax supports RFID. The Article below will give some basic idea about the RFID. RFID or Radio Frequency Identification is the Auto-ID technology by which one can identify objects and track information about them wirelessly using radio waves. In the simplest terms an RFID system consists of a TAG (transponder) and a READER (interrogator). The technology of RFID deals with the remote collection of information stored on a tag using radio frequency communications. Information stored on the tag can range from as little as an identification number, to kilo-bytes of data written to and read from the tag, to dynamic information maintained on the tag, such as temperature histories. The information from the tag/reader combination is either presented to a human operator typically using a hand-held device or a host computer which automatically manages the information. Critical performance variables of an RFID system determine the cost of implementation. Read Range - R

What's New in Dynamics Ax 4.0 AOS?

The Application Object Server (AOS) provides the infrastructure to execute the business logic on the middle tier of a 3-tier Microsoft Dynamics AX installation. The AOS handles the connectivity, security, and database connection management that an Microsoft Dynamics AX system requires. In Microsoft Axapta 3.0, the AOS was a standalone program, that is, an executable file that was started and stopped by the Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Manager, which functioned as a load-balancing application. In Microsoft Dynamics AX, the AOS is implemented as a Microsoft Windows Service to take advantage of the following: · Windows Service applications run in the security context of a specific user account that is different from a user that is logged on or the default computer account. After installation of Microsoft Dynamics AX, the default user account has all the permissions required to access Microsoft Dynamics AX functionality. · Eliminating the dependency on the Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Mana

New Application Patching Strategy for Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 SP1

The process for developing, building, and releasing application hot fixes and updates will fundamentally change from Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 SP1 onwards. The hot fix layer files will be made cumulative in the sense that previous fixes will be included in the latest released hot fix or the next critical update. Due to this cumulative approach, released hot fixes are expected to be tested in conjunction with all supported updates and their fixes. In this way, we intend to reduce conflicts between fixes. Another major difference between the patching strategy of Microsoft Dynamics AX 3.0 and 4.0 SP1 onwards, will be the type of hot fix deliverable. We expect to release cumulative hot fixes as an AOD file, which will be distributed out of the DIS layer inside Microsoft Dynamics AX. This should make it simpler to distinguish Microsoft code from code developed by a partner, as well as making it possible to use the inbuilt upgrade tools to upgrade a partner’s customization layer(s) in a simi
