This blog will explain how to create files and folders on SharePoint Online programmatically, using AX7 code (Dynamics 365 for Operations).
To save file, SharePointDocumentStorageProvider class should be used:
System.UriBuilder builder = new System.UriBuilder(SITE);
str host = builder.Host;
str extId = xUserInfo::getExternalId();
SharePointDocumentStorageProvider storageProvider =
new SharePointDocumentStorageProvider(host, SITE, FOLDER_PATH, extId);
//Create MemoryStream object that will hold data to upload
System.IO.MemoryStream memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
//Populate memoryStream with your file’s contents.
//In the end set the position of the stream to 0
memoryStream.Position = 0;
//Method SaveFile is used to create the file on SharePoint online
storageProvider.SaveFile(newGuid(), NAME_OF_FILE, MIME_TYPE, memoryStream);To create folders on SharePoint, we need access token. It can be obtained in the following way:
System.UriBuilder builder = new System.UriBuilder(SITE_ADDRESS); str host = builder.Host; str extId = xUserInfo::getExternalId(); ISharePointProxy proxy = SharePointHelper::CreateProxy(host, '/', extId); str token = proxy.AccessToken;
Access token should be passed to the following C# method:
public static ClientContext GetClientContextWithAccessToken(string targetUrl, string accessToken)
{
Uri targetUri = new Uri(targetUrl);
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(targetUrl);
clientContext.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.Anonymous;
clientContext.FormDigestHandlingEnabled = false;
clientContext.ExecutingWebRequest +=
delegate (object oSender, WebRequestEventArgs webRequestEventArgs)
{
webRequestEventArgs.WebRequestExecutor.RequestHeaders["Authorization"] ="Bearer " + accessToken;
};
return clientContext;
}Method is taken from:
http://www.herlitz.nu/2012/12/30/sharepoint-2013-tokenhelper-cs-source-code/
We don’t need the whole class, just this method.
Library to use (C#): Microsoft.SharePoint.Client

The post Experiences Developing SSRS Reports in Dynamics 365 for Operations appeared first on K3 Technical Blog.
Image may be NSFW.Recently I was tasked with an upgrade of a functionality we have on AX2012 to Dynamics365, which includes running the report from the code and attaching it to the caller record. As you are probably aware of, this was very easy to accomplish in the earlier Microsoft Dynamics AX versions, where you could simply run the report to a file, save it locally and attach it to the record using the DocuActionArchive class.
Things are a bit more complicated when it comes to D365 in cloud. You are no longer able to save the file locally (for example using System.IO.Path::GetTempPath() + fileName) as storage is now moved to Azure and files are stored as a Blob. You may have also noticed that most of the classes that work with files now use stream objects with their content type instead.
In order to attach the report to a record I needed to provide a MemoryStream object which would represent my report. As I found no existing code that could provide me with the memory stream output of the report I created my own method to do this. Below is given a code (runnable class – job) to perform rendering of a report to a memory stream.
class RunReportToStream
{
public static void main(Args _args)
{
DocuRef addedRecord;
ProdTable prodTable = ProdTable::find('P000173');
Filename fileName = "AbcTest.pdf";
YourReportController controller = new YourReportController();
YourReportContract contract = new YourReportContract();
SRSPrintDestinationSettings settings;
Array arrayFiles;
System.Byte[] reportBytes = new System.Byte[0]();
SRSProxy srsProxy;
SRSReportRunService srsReportRunService = new SrsReportRunService();
Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.Reporting.Shared.ReportingService.ParameterValue[] parameterValueArray;
Map reportParametersMap;
SRSReportExecutionInfo executionInfo = new SRSReportExecutionInfo();
;
_args = new Args();
_args.record(prodTable);
// Provide all the parameters to a contract
contract.parmProdId('P000173');
contract.parmNumberOfLabels(1);
// Provide details to controller and add contract
controller.parmArgs(_args);
controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(YourReportName, DesignName));
controller.parmShowDialog(false);
controller.parmLoadFromSysLastValue(false);
controller.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(contract);
// Provide printer settings
settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
settings.fileName(fileName);
settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
// Below is a part of code responsible for rendering the report
controller.parmReportContract().parmReportServerConfig(SRSConfiguration::getDefaultServerConfiguration());
controller.parmReportContract().parmReportExecutionInfo(executionInfo);
srsReportRunService.getReportDataContract(controller.parmreportcontract().parmReportName());
srsReportRunService.preRunReport(controller.parmreportcontract());
reportParametersMap = srsReportRunService.createParamMapFromContract(controller.parmReportContract());
parameterValueArray = SrsReportRunUtil::getParameterValueArray(reportParametersMap);
srsProxy = SRSProxy::constructWithConfiguration(controller.parmReportContract().parmReportServerConfig());
// Actual rendering to byte array
reportBytes = srsproxy.renderReportToByteArray(controller.parmreportcontract().parmreportpath(),
parameterValueArray,
settings.fileFormat(),
settings.deviceinfo());
if (reportBytes)
{
// Converting byte array to memory stream
System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(reportBytes);
// Upload file to temp storage and direct the browser to the file URL
File::SendFileToUser(stream, settings.parmFileName());
stream.Position = 0;
str fileContentType = System.Web.MimeMapping::GetMimeMapping(fileName);
// Attach the file to a record using stream object
addedRecord = DocumentManagement::attachFile(prodTable.TableId,prodTable.RecId,prodTable.DataAreaId, 'File', stream, fileName, fileContentType,"PDF file attached");
}
// You can also convert the report Bytes into an xpp BinData object if needed
container binData;
Binary binaryData;
System.IO.MemoryStream mstream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(reportBytes);
binaryData = Binary::constructFromMemoryStream(mstream);
if(binaryData)
{
binData = binaryData.getContainer();
}
}
}With the output found in the code above like reportBytes, stream and binData you can do many things, like sending the report to a certain SharePoint location from code, sending the report as an email attachment from code, attaching the report to a record as a document attachment from code and I am sure that you will find many other usages.
I hope that you will find this text helpful.

Just started to developer into AX7. Hating and loving it. I`m keeping this subject to another post though.
For the moment, let’s talk about DAX Development Util repository.
