2. Difference between edit and display method.
Display Indicates that the method's return value is to be displayed on a form or a report.
The value cannot be altered in the form or report
Edit Indicates that the method's return type is to be used to provide information for a field that is used in in a form. The value in the field can be edited.
3. Difference between perspectives and table collection
Perspectives can organize information for a report model in the Application Object Tree (AOT).

5. Why we use virtual companies?
Virtual company accounts contain data in certain tables that are shared by any number of company accounts. This allows users to post information in one company that will be available to another company.
6. How can we restrict a class to be further extended?
using Final Keyword for Ex: public final class <ClassName>
7. Which classes are used for data import export?
SysDataImport and SysDataExport
8. From which table u can get the user permissions stored in Ax?
AccessRightList table.
9. What should we do if we need last record to be active when a form is opened?
In properties of datasource table set the StartPosition property as last.
10. What is the sequence of events while a report is generated?
Init, Run, Prompt, Fetch, send, Print
11. Name few X++ classes/Coreclasses related to Queries?
Query, QueryRun, QueryBuildRange, QueryBuildDataSource, QueryBuildLink
12. What is an index?
An index is a table-specific database structure that speeds the retrieval of rows from the table. Indexes are used to improve the performance of data retrieval and sometimes to ensure the existence of unique records.
13. Define IntelliMorph
IntelliMorph is the technology that controls the user interface in Microsoft Dynamics AX. The user interface is how the functionality of the application is presented or displayed to the user.
IntelliMorph controls the layout of the user interface and makes it easier to modify forms, reports, and menus.
14. Define MorphX
The MorphX Development Suite is the integrated development environment (IDE) in Microsoft Dynamics AX used to develop and customize both the Windows interface and the Web interface.
15. Define X++
X++ is the object-oriented programming language that is used in the MorphX environment.
16. Differentiate refresh(), reread(), research(), executequery()
refresh() will not reread the record from the database. It basically just refreshes the screen with whatever is stored in the form cache.
reread() will only re-read the CURRENT record from the DB so you should not use it to refresh the form data if you have added/removed records. It's often used if you change some values in the current record in some code, and commit them to the database using .update() on the table, instead of through the form datasource. In this case .reread() will make those changes appear on the form.
research() will rerun the existing form query against the data source, therefore updating the list with new/removed records as well as updating existing ones. This will honour any existing filters and sorting on the form.
executeQuery() is another useful one. It should be used if you have modified the query in your code and need to refresh the form. It's like
research() except it takes query changes into account.

17. Define AOT
The Application Object Tree (AOT) is a tree view of all the application objects within Microsoft Dynamics AX. The AOT contains everything you need to customize the look and functionality of a Microsoft Dynamics AX application
18. Define AOS
The Microsoft Dynamics AX Object Server (AOS) is the second-tier application server in the Microsoft Dynamics AX three-tier architecture.
The 3-tier environment is divided as follows:
• First Tier – Intelligent Client
• Second Tier – AOS
• Third Tier – Database Server
In a 3-tier solution the database runs on a server as the third tier; the AOS handles the business logic in the second tier. The thin client is the first tier and handles the user interface and necessary program logic.
19. Difference between temp table and container.
1. Data in containers are stored and retrieved sequentially, but a temporary table enables you to define indexes to speed up data retrieval.
2. Containers provide slower data access if you are working with many records. However, if you are working with only a few records, use a container.
3. Another important difference between temporary tables and containers is how they are used in method calls. When you pass a temporary table into a method call, it is passed by reference. Containers are passed by value. When a variable is passed by reference, only a pointer to the object is passed into the method. When a variable is passed by value, a new copy of the variable is passed into the method. If the computer has a limited amount of memory, it might start swapping memory to disk, slowing down application execution. When you pass a variable into a method, a temporary table may provide better performance than a container
20. What is an EDT, Base Enum, how can we use array elements of an EDT?
EDT - To reuse its properties. The properties of many fields can change at one time by changing the properties on the EDT. Relations can be assigned to an edt are known as Dynamic relations.
EDT relations are Normal and Related field fixed.
Why not field fixed – field fixed works on only between two tables 1- 1 relation. And Related field fixed works on 1- many tables.so edt uses related field fixed.
BaseEnum - which is a list of literals. Enum values are represented internally as integers. you can declare up to 251 (0 to 250) literals in a single enum type. To reference an enum in X++, use the name of the enum, followed by the name of the literal, separated by two colons. Ex -
NoYes::No.
21. Definition and use of Maps, how AddressMap (with methods) is used in standard AX?
Maps define X++ elements that wrap table objects at run time. With a map, you associate a map field with a field in one or more tables. This enables you to use the same field name to access fields with different names in different tables. Map methods enable to you to create or modify methods that act on the map fields.
Address map that contains an Address field. The Address map field is used to access both the Address field in the CustTable table and the ToAddress field in the CustVendTransportPointLine table
22. What is the difference between Index and Index hint?
Adding the "index" statement to an Axapta select, it does NOT mean that this index will be used by
the database. What it DOES mean is that Axapta will send an "order by" to the database. Adding the "index hint" statement to an Axapta select, it DOES mean that this index will be used by the database (and no other one).
23. How many types of data validation methods are written on table level?
validateField(), validateWrite(), validateDelete(), aosvalidateDelete(), aosvalidateInsert(),
aosvalidateRead(), aosvalidateUpdate().
24. How many types of relations are available in Axapta, Explain each of them.
Normal Relation enforce referential integrity such as foreign keys. For displaying lookup on the child table.
Field fixed works as a trigger to verify that a relation is active, if an enum field in the table has a specific value then the relation is active. It works on conditional relations and works on enum type of data.
Ex- Dimension table
Related field fixed works as a filter on the related table.it only shows records that match the specified value for an enum field on the related table.
25. When the recid is generated, what is its utility?
when the record is entered in the table the recid is generated by the kernel.it is unique for each table.
26. Difference between Primary & Cluster index.
Primary index It works on unique indexes. The data should be unique and not null. Retrieve data from the database.
Clustered Index It works on unique and non unique indexes.retrieve data from the AOS.
The advantages of having a cluster index are as follows:
· Search results are quicker when records are retrieved by the cluster index, especially if records are retrieved sequentially along the index.
· Other indexes that use fields that are a part of the cluster index might use less data space.
· Fewer files in the database; data is clustered in the same file as the clustering index. This reduces the space used on the disk and in the cache.
The disadvantages of having a cluster index are as follows:
· It takes longer to update records (but only when the fields in the clustering index are changed).
· More data space might be used for other indexes that use fields that are not part of the cluster index if the clustering index is wider than approximately 20 characters).
27. How many kind of lookups can be made and how.
By using table relations
Using EDT relations.
Using morphx and using X++ code (Syslookup class).
28. How many types of Delete Actions are there in Standard Ax and define the use of each
None
Cascade
Restricted
Cascade+Restricted.
29. What is the function of super()
This method calls the system methods to execute.
It is used to instantiating the variables at the parent class. Used for code redundancy.
