Data Entity: PostTargetProcess and PostGetStagingData Methods to Update Target Table D365 FO X++

 Data Entity: Methods to Update Target Table D365 FO X++

 

 

Recently we got a requirement to update the target table with the execution id and show the status of the Entity status on the Dynamics AX Form.

 

In this case, we can use the method “PostTargetProcess” method, which allows you to use DMFDefinitionGroupExecution from where we can get the Entity DefinitionGroup and Execution Id.

This method is automatically called by the Framework class DMFEntityWriter at the end of processRecords() method.

ProcessRecords() method will process all the records transferred from staging to target.

In the below example, we are updating the LedgerJournalTable with ExecutionID, which is used to display the status (error/ completed, etc ) based on execution id.

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(DataEntity))]
final public class DataEntity_Extension
{

  public static void postTargetProcess(DMFDefinitionGroupExecution _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution)

    {

        LedgerJournalEntityStaging staging;

        LedgerJournalTable ledgerJournalTableloc;

        select firstonly JournalBatchNumber,ExecutionId from staging

            where staging.DefinitionGroup == _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution.DefinitionGroup

                && staging.ExecutionId == _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution.ExecutionId;

       

        if (staging.JournalBatchNumber)

        {

            ledgerJournalTableloc = LedgerJournalTable::find(staging.JournalBatchNumber);

            if (ledgerJournalTableloc.RecId && ledgerJournalTableloc.MessageId != staging.ExecutionId)

            {

                ttsbegin;

                ledgerJournalTableloc.selectForUpdate(true);

                ledgerJournalTableloc.MessageId = _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution.ExecutionId;

                ledgerJournalTableloc.update();

                ttscommit;

            }

        }

    }

}

 

Like postTargetProcess, we have a method called “PostGetStagingData” this method is used to update the data before it gets inserted into the staging table.

public static void postGetStagingData(DMFDefinitionGroupExecution _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution)

{

        //logic here

}
