Im looking at the Travel and Expense Management module in AX2012 and i was wondering if anyone has managed to get the import feature working for UK credit cards? My Senior Consultant has said that this feature will only work for American cards but I imagine that with some dev work it would be possible to enable other formats also.
If anyone has any info or idea's that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You need to create a .NET transform assembly that would be transforming text files e.g. in CSV format into XML used to populate the TrvPBSMainData table. You can find a sample Visual Studio project along with step by step instructions in the Microsoft Dynamics AX Solution Architecture team blog.

I was wondering what would be the correct deployment workflow for customization under AX 2009. For AX 2012 I found a nice whitepaper Deploying Customizations Across Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Environments .
But this doesn't help much because with AX 2009 there is no concept of model store deployment (unless I'm mistaken).
Are XPOs the way to go with AX 2009? If someone could point me in the right direction this would be great.
XPOs can and do work, but there are some issues using them. From most of what I've researched, when it comes to SOX compliance the best way to migrate code changes is by moving the binary server files - the .aod, .ahd, etc files - that are stored in the application directory of the server. Since these files are the compiled versions of the application code, it is easier to prove that the modifications that were created in a development environment are the same modifications deployed to the production environment. XPOs are plain text and can be manipulated in a text editor, making it more difficult to prove this, though not impossible.
I actually did a writeup of what we have done to manage our code deployments if you are interested. It covers XPO vs Layer file migrations, and ultimately describes our process for automated builds and deployments. Since we put it in place our auditors have been very happy when it comes to auditing our system.
I'm learning Data Quality with Talend Open Studio for Big Data version TOS_DQ-20141207_1530-V5.6.1.zip.
According to my problem, I want to use tMatchGroup but I realize that it doesn't appear in the Palette of Talend Studio. In the help.talend.com, they said that I have to subscribe to one of "Talend Platform products". (https://help.talend.com/display/TalendsComponentsReferenceGuide54EN/tMatchGroup)
Could anyone tell me how I can find this platform? I did some research but I don't know exactly where it is.
Thank you very much.
p/s: Sorry for my bad English.
I believe the tMatchGroup component is only available in Talend Platform for Data Services (the paid version of Talend). So since you're using the Open Studio, you won't be able to access it.
I am designing a light-weight accounting application that suits small to medium
business (eg .shops), any reference to materials that help or ideas from anyone who did this kind of software before would be great.
NOTE : reference to a (C# preferably) library would be great.
There are many open-source accounting applications out there; i'm not sure if this one was done in c# but here's a link:
FrontAccounting(accounting software) Note: This one is a web-app.
The links for downloading the software are all the way at the bottom of the page in the "references" section. Hope that helps!
List of other accounting softwares(open source):
Other Softwares Scroll down to "Finance".
Try to keep it generic as possible and consider the adoption a plugin framework to forsee further extension. A good business analysis eventually is a prerequisite.
I have a small web application based on asp.net 2010 that manages invoices.
After the invoice is saved, it should automatically generate a pdf file.
which of the following solutions would be fast and easy to incorporate?
Use Sql Server 2008 Reports
Use Crystal Reports 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 for VS 2010
Use itextsharp to create the pdf file
Use XSLFO to create the pdf file
The point here is I dont know any of the above. Which one is easy and quick to learn and implement. Are there any other solution to achieve this functionality?
The first two options sound a bit heavyweight for your requirements.
You don't say if you require it to be free (open source) or if you are happy to pay for a solution; a quick search found this: ExpertPDF HtmlToPdf Converter
I have to admit that I have never used it but it might be an easy solution if you are already displaying the invoice on your web page.
I would go for XSL-FO as it is open standard and you are not being locked in a proprietary solution. You also have access to visual XSL-FO editors/designers and 3 or 4 high volume server to choose from.
As far as I know, many invoicing statements solutions today use XSL-FO becuse it is very powerful - you can footnotes or very complex pagination, 10-20 output formats, etc.
I personally prefer iTextSharp as it is very flexible as you build the PDF from code as you need it. However as it is a port of the iText open source java library for PDF it is not 100% intuitive (well from a c# perspective)..
However said there are a lot of help blogs and articles.
I have found:-
SQL server 2008 needs a lot of configuration and does not quite give you what you want.
You need to purchase Crystal Reports, however said it is quite a good product
iTextSharp - Free, fairly easy to set up but not 100% intuitive
I have used this and found it tough going although it is possible to get the desired ouput.
edit
For question regarding VS2010, I used it with VS2005 a number of years ago as the basic version came shipped with VS2005. According to the website it appears to integrate into Visual Studio 2010, however this I suspect depends on what version you have.
SAP Crystal Reports can open and edit
files created with SAP Crystal
Reports, version for Visual Studio
2010 (and vice-versa), providing a
fuller set of report design features
compared to SAP Crystal Reports,
version for Visual Studio 2010. SAP
Crystal Reports does not include
tooling to support the Visual Studio
2010 development environment but
developers can use the SAP Crystal
Reports, version for Visual Studio
2010 runtime engine to deploy SAP
Crystal Reports RPT files with all the
extended design features.
i have done something similar with XSLFO - if you know XSLT then XSLFO is very simple to add to XSLT
For me, using Aspose.Words with the mailmerge feature was always the fastest and most flexible/comfortable solution, although not the cheapest.
The super simple way is use third party converter such as ABCPdf, Winnovative PDF Converter. But they cost abount $500 USD.
You said you bought Crystal Report, it can use to generate pdf as well, just use Crystal Report design the pdf template, connect to your database (dataset,datatables). In your code to push data from your database and fill the pdf template finally save as pdf.
But deploy Crystal Report you need merge some modules, otherwise you need install Crystal Report on your server as well.
Hai Friends
I having the project in Vb i want to migrate that project in the vb.net.any tool available pls inform me.i have tried a lot.i have not installed the visual basic.with the help of remote server i am running that project.
Quite a few versions of Visual studio have a built-in Upgrade Wizard to help you with converting VB6 to Vb.Net code. I know that VS 2005 Pro has it but I'm not sure what other versions.
Here's an article about how to go about upgrading. And there's even a complete free e-book about it as can be found here.
Aside from the sources Ho1 mentions some of the biggest pitfalls are the lack of control arrays, printing and graphics. The printing can be partly mitigated by the use of Printer Compatibility. You can download the PCL as part of the Visual Basic Power Pack 3.0.
If you have room in your budget I would recommend ArtinSoft. www.artinsoft.com. They have a trial version that you can test out. They have been named Microsoft's preferred VB to .NET upgrade solution provider.
I have trialed artinsoft's upgrade companion.
I have also looked at vbmigration partner.
This is my, very limited, anecdotal experience.
On vbmigration partner they have some sample conversions of projects they found on planat sourcecode.
One is call ezdatabase.
If you run vbmigration partner's conversion it will crash if you click the connect/disconnect button more than twice.
On the vb6 version you can click this all day without crashing.
This project is small enough to put through the artinsoft trial of vbuc in its entirety, so i did that.
However after i converted it, there seemed to be a lot of compile errors.
It's not a fair comparison as obviously vb migration partner had lots of opportunity to perfect it before putting the converted code on their website. and yet it was easy to crash.
However I was also disappointed with artinsoft's tool as this was just a small (few hundred lines) crud application and yet there were a lot of compile errors.
Make of this what you will. I would like to hear of others' experiences.
EDIT : On the other hand if this is a true test of the relative capabilities of vb migration partner and artinsoft vbuc then vb migration arner is clearly the winner in this example
