How to Create a New Role Centre in Dynamics AX 2009
One of the most talked about features of AX 2009 is Role Centres... I thought Microsoft did a phenomenal job bypackaging Sharepoint and ax in one box... which resulted in really cool technology.
As complex as they might seem role centres are actually very simple to use.. and its actually even simpler to create newone..
This is a step by step guide to help users/developers to create and deploy new role centres.. In this example weare going to create a Merchandiser Role Centre
Step 1:
Log in as an Admin and open up EP in internet explorer..
Well you actually dont need to be an admin.. but you need site creation rights in sharepoint and also access to theAOT in ax.
Then click on ‘Site Actions’ and select the ‘Create’ option
Step 2: select Basic Page..
Note: you might be better of select ‘Web Part Page’.. as a basic page would not have any web parts on it... all the standardrole centre pages are Web part pages... I will show you both examples in this article .. hence I started with the basic page.(see the Additional info section below)
Also I like the basic page because it loads up a lot faster J
Step 3: in the next page, type in the Name of the Page (please use good Naming Convention
Standard)... also make sure that the Document Library is set to Enterprise Portal
Step 4: as I choose to create a Basic Page a Text editor will pop up.. if I would choose the Web
Part pages option then this editor would not appear.
Simply type something and click Save... now you would be directed to the new page.
Step 5: open the AOT in AX and browse down to the Web Menu Item Node .. right click and
select New URL.
Step 6: Give the URL a name and a Label (please follow std naming conventions) and then click
on the brose icon on the URL Property (the browse icon is represented by 3 dots).. as shown in picture
Then expand the Enterprise Portal folder and find the new Page you created. Select and click OK
Step 7: make sure that you set the Home Page Property to Yes..
If you dont set this to yes, then the page will not be available is the role canter page list on the
User profile form (next step)
Save and close the AOT.
Step 8: in AX browse to Administration > Setup > User profiles
Create a new record, set the Profile name and description and then select the new Page as the role centre page
Assign users to the role and your done.
Additional Info:
You can also export the role centre (user Profile > Export and Export AOT).. the export AOT optionsmake the role centre a part of the AOT resource node.. this is helpful if you want to migrate the role centrefrom say a dev environment to a Test Environment.
Rather than selecting the Basic page option ..select the Web Part page option
Then give a name and select EP as the Document Library
Notice I choose to overwrite the role page .. this way I dint have to change my url to point to the Web part page.

DeleteYour car could be stolen if you don't remember this!
ReplyDeleteImagine that your car was taken! When you visit the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN check"
A VIN decoder: What is it?
Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent" (manufacturing facility). Additionally, you can find:
1.Type of engine
2.Model of a vehicle
3.The DMV's limitations
4.The number of drivers in this vehicle
The location of the car will be visible to you, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be viewed in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person seated on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.
What if the VIN is intentionally harmed?
There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in prison. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.
Conclusion.
The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
