Greater than Date and Less than date with Equal to Date ranges
Hello Readers,
Recently I have one requirement where I have to filter the record on the basis of Date range, I have found the standard class “SysQueryRangeUtil” and the method greater than and less than methods is available, personally I found these two methods quite confusing to use as it have parameter in days. Also there is no option for Equal to date. So I have created below four methods, you can use it for Date range scenarios which very easy to understand.
str greaterThanDate(transDate _date)
{
return '> ' + SysQuery::value(_date);
}
{
return '> ' + SysQuery::value(_date);
}
str greaterThanEqualDate(transDate _date)
{
return '> ' + SysQuery::value(_date-1);
}
{
return '> ' + SysQuery::value(_date-1);
}
str lessThanDate(transDate _date)
{
return '< ' + SysQuery::value(_date);
}
{
return '< ' + SysQuery::value(_date);
}
str lessThanEqualDate(transDate _date)
{
return '< ' + SysQuery::value(_date+1);
}
{
return '< ' + SysQuery::value(_date+1);
}
Please comment your queries and suggestions,
Thanks,
Cheers,

Dynamics AX as a Service New Features, Case Study, Pricing
This video shows how one company is reaping the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics AX as a Service.
For info on what is changing in the new version, checkout this Microsoft AX article about new features and updates in the Dynamics AX7 Release
“BI is not just for experts any more, and we make decisions faster based on data that we trust.”
To consolidate business intelligence and standardize internal processes for five worldwide business units, UmbraGroup is migrating its ERP platform to Microsoft Dynamics AX as a service in the cloud. In addition to lowering IT infrastructure costs and providing a seamless integrated ERP platform that’s easier to manage, the new Microsoft AX will make it easier for personnel at all levels of the organization to access customer information and KPIs, to better react to business challenges, drive revenues and streamline operating costs.
Microsoft Dynamics AX Licensing and Pricing
Dynamics AX as a Service pricing is available two ways — through a Dynamics Enterprise Agreement (EA) or through a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Partner. CSP Tier 1 partners are able to bundle monthly AX hosting with tailored services for Dynamics AX on Azure, so it’s likely that prices will vary by Dynamics Partner depending on the level of services offered.

Dynamics AX Virtual Launch Opens Realms of Possibilities for ERP
I was sitting in the back of the room, nervously taking notes, while my customer settled in for the third of three Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software demonstrations that we had scheduled for them. We were at the end of a software selection cycle, and the first two demonstrations of Tier 1 ERP products had, putting it politely, bombed.
As the leader of this particular software selection process, you generally do not want to waste your customer’s time showing them software solutions they have no intention of buying. This was our last chance to revive the project.
Next, we demonstrated Microsoft Dynamics AX to a chorus of “Ooohs and Ahhs” and even a few rounds of clapping. Finally, an intuitive ERP solution that could be tailored from the user interface, easily customized, rich in functionality and scalable as a multi-country enterprise solution.
The year was 2003 and our client became one of the first companies in the United States to implement Dynamics AX for their manufacturing operations and back office.
This was also the year that Tribridge launched its formal partnership with Microsoft and started focusing on Dynamics ERP solutions, including Dynamics AX. The first iPhone would not hit the market for another four years.
Virtual Launch of Dynamics AX
With the virtual launch last week of Dynamics AX7, now referred to as just Dynamics AX, Microsoft continues to fulfill, and in my estimation, surpass the vision they had for the solution.
The original goal was interoperability: your ERP solution should be part of your productivity suite and fully integrated with the other great solutions you use every day, including Word, Excel, SharePoint and Outlook.
Microsoft achieved that goal with new releases of AX 2009, and took things a step further in both functionality and scalability with the release of AX 2012.
Just as Microsoft was beginning to hit its stride with the AX solution, a couple of major technology disruptions occurred: the launch of the iPhone, iPad and the torrid growth of IT solutions delivered in public and private clouds.
Expectations for how we use software and where that software’s infrastructure is located changed seemingly overnight. I have many clients that expect (as they should) to run ERP-based transactions from any mobile device and be able to speak to their ERP system. (Yes, we will soon be speaking to what used to be our boring old ERP systems.) In the new Dynamics AX virtual launch, audiences saw a demo of placing an order using the user’s voice for data input, leverage Microsoft’s personal assistant, Cortana.
A Modern ERP Solution
Microsoft has reacted to these market changes, and created a modern ERP solution that checks all the boxes. The new solution:
- Can be used on any mobile device via the HTML5 user interface.
- Can be consumed in a public cloud monthly fee model that can be easily scaled up or down with Microsoft Azure (Azure based private cloud options coming later this year).
- Integrates with other key technologies from Microsoft including Cortana, Power BI, and of course, Office.
It also has a slick design. Dynamics AX modeled its user workspaces after modern airplane cockpit designs to create a simplistic and highly productive work environment. Microsoft also had the vision to wrap the entire solution in Lifecycle Services to help customers interact with the solution in efficient, predictable and repeatable ways.
ERP continues to change, and just like the story in 2003, Dynamics AX leads the way. Surely, more “oohs and ahhs” are on the way.
Supports an On-Premise, Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Deployment Model
For over a decade, Tribridge has implemented Dynamics AX with a stellar reputation for focusing on solving business problems and implementing solutions for our customers. We utilize a flexible implementation approach, tailored to a customer’s industry and business needs, with the ability to support an on-premise, cloud, or hybrid cloud deployment model.

Check out all several languages of a label file in one process in AX 2012
If you work under version control and you update labels in more than one language, you might have found it cumbersome that you for each language need to switch language in the label dialog and then check each language out individually.
I have made a job that does this in one process. The job uses saved selections from the label dialog to figure out the label file to check out, and in which languages.

New Dynamics AX On premise = Azure Stack
As we know, deploying the new Dynamics AX will basically come in 3 different flavors. I wanted to explain a bit what this means and what I have found. The information here should be double checked together with your partners, and also with Microsoft. Also remember that it all is very fresh technology, and that things may change quickly as must is in early releases and preview.
- AX Public cloud – Black-box, maintained by Microsoft in Azure and it just works.
The public cloud “edition” was the first platform that the new Dynamics AX was released on. In the public cloud it is Microsoft personnel that is deploying and monitoring the instances. Customers and partners should have no technical access to the production environments. Data and code (like customizations) are created as packages and uploaded into LCS, where according to maintenance windows, and Microsoft will deploy them to the production environment. Customers pays a monthly fee per user, that includes licenses a production environment with high availability, disaster recovery and some sand-box environments (for testing and dev). The customer doesn’t have consider how to scale or what kind of virtual machines is needed. This is taken care of by Microsoft. Customers must expect to pay at least 110.000 USD per year in costs for this. It is my consideration that this offer actually is a very good offer, because it includes many of the services and licenses that we don’t normally consider when evaluating costs for operating a ERP system. I think than smaller customers (50-250 users) would benefit from this scenario. - AX Private cloud – Maintained and deployed by customer/partner, but still on Azure.
Private cloud is 100% running in Azure. Private just means that Microsoft is not deploying and monitoring the instances. In this scenario you will purchase AX licenses, and you will purchase Azure services and deployments. Basically 2-3 invoices J. You scale up the VM’s according to you needs, and it is your own responsibility. It is typical a partner that can help out, and you probably will have to purchase service agreements to monitor and maintain your Azure deployed instances. Will this be cheaper than the “public cloud” offer? If you compare apples with apples I don’t think so. There are many hidden costs, and if you sum up the costs, at least my internal calculations show that this offer quickly can be 20% more expensive than the Public Cloud offer. But the private cloud offers flexibility, but will demand a very knowledgeable technical department/partner. You can decide more by yourself within the boundaries of the Azure. I expect that larger customers (250+ users) would like to go for this scenario. - AX On-Premise and Azure Stack – For those that have a datacenter to spare
Azure Stack is the new hybrid cloud platform product that enables organization to deliver Azure services from their own datacenters. You get cloud services, yet maintain control. You decide where to keep your data and applications—in your own datacenter or on others/azure. You will still pay for the AX licenses, but the you will also have to pay for your own hardware. There is one problem. It is not released yet. We are waiting for Windows Server 2016 with Azure Stack, and SQL Server 2016. These are still in technical preview. But for those (like me) that like to try out, you can actually download it from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/azure-stack/ . If you wonder what kind of machinery is needed, take a look her. (Basically 16 Cores , >128 Gb RAM and a few TB of disk). It will be a bit difficult to run the Azure Stack on my portable PC J. Also remember that there will still be lots of services that still have to be on the cloud. I assume that this option will be selected for large enterprises (1000+ users) and for hosting providers/ASP.
And remember that what I write here is not facts, but just my interpretation of how it can be.
Happy DAX’ing J
