Cache Lookup Property of table

By -

Cache Lookup
Caches are used on both the client and the server. It increases the performance, the ax will get data from the cache instead of doing round trips and DB calls. So for each table, it's good to use cache lookup property.Microsoft Dynamics Ax run time manages the cache by removing old records when new records are added to the cache.

Client Cache
A Client-side cache can be used only by the client. The client cache is used when a select statement is executed from the client tier. If no records are found in the client cache, the client then searches in the server cache for the records. If the record isn't located in the server cache, it will retrieve from the database. The maximum number of records can be maintained in a client cache is 100 records per table for the selected company.

Server Cache
A server-side cache can be used by any connection to the server. The server cache is used when a select is executed on the server tier. If no record found in the server cache, it will retrieve from the database. The maximum number of records maintained in a server cache is 2000 records for the selected company.

Types of Cache Lookup 
  • None
  • EntireTable
  • Found
  • NotInTTS
  • FoundAndEmpty

None
No data is cached or retrieved from the cache for this table. This property value should be used for tables that are heavily updated or where it's unacceptable to read outdated data.

EntireTable
Creates a set-based cache on the server. The entire table is cached as soon as at least one record is selected from the table. An EntireTable cahce is flushed whenever an insert, update or delete is made to the table. So first select read all records from DB for the selected company and all the further selects will take data from the cache instead of DB calls. 

Below is a list which shows to use the different type of cache lookup property as per table group.

Found

All successful caching key selects are cached. All caching key selects are returned from the cache if the record exists there. A select for Update in a transaction forces reading from the database and replaces the record in the cache.
This is typically used for static (lookup) tables, such as Unit, where the record usually exists.

NotInTTS

All successful caching key selects are cached.
When in a transaction (after ttsBegin), no caches made outside the transaction are used. When inside a transaction, the record is read once from the database and subsequently from the cache. The record is select-locked when reading in a transaction, which ensures that the record cached is not updated while the transaction is active.
A typical example of the NotInTTS property is on the CustTable in the Microsoft Dynamics AX application. It is acceptable to read outdated data from the cache outside a transaction, but when data is used for validation or creating references, it is ensured that the data is real-time.

FoundAndEmpty 

All selects on caching keys are cached, including selects that are not returning data.
All caching key selects are returned from caching if the record exists there, or the record is marked as nonexistent in the cache. A select forUpdate in a transaction forces reading from the database and replaces the record in the cache.
An example of FoundAndEmpty record caching is in the Discount table in the Microsoft Dynamics AX standard application. By default, the Discount table has no records. By using a FoundAndEmpty cache on this table, the keys that are queried for but not found are stored in the cache. Subsequent queries for these same non-existent records can be answered from the cache without a round trip to the database.

COC for Form level method

By -
We can extend the logic of public and protected methods without having to use event handlers. COC, allows to use the method local and global variables. COC must be end with _Extension. Form level method : System search there are any extend methods , If Extend method is exist,run COC method first , next() method Invoke Standard form methods . Override Method: [ ExtensionOf ( formstr ( CustTable ))]     final class CustTableForm_Extension     {         public void init()         {             // here add the business logics             next init();             // here add the business logics         }     } Get buffers : FormRun formRun = this as   FormRun ;     FormDataSource CustTable_DS =formRun.datasource(ForomDatasourceStr(CustTable,CustTable));     CustTable custTable = CustTable_DS.Cursor();     FormControl custAccount = formRun.design().ControlName( FormControlStr ( FormName ,ControlName));        Example:

Multi Select Lookup in SSRS Report in D365

Multi Select Lookup in SSRS Report in D365 Description:-  Here we will create multi select lookup in ssrs report so we can select multiple data from lookup. Here I have given sample demonstration for how to generate multi select lookup in ssrs report. First, you must create contract class for that and create method for parameters. Contract Class: - [DataContractAttribute, SysOperationContractProcessingAttribute( classstr (SampleUIBuilder))] class SampleContract implements SysOperationValidatable {     List   ListItemId; [DataMemberAttribute( "Item Id" ),AifCollectionTypeAttribute( "Item Id" , Types ::String),        SysOperationLabelAttribute( literalStr ( "Item Id" ))]        public List parmItemId( List _ListItemId = ListItemId) {               ListItemId = _ListItemId;               return ListItemId; } } //For validation parameters,     public boolean validate()     {         boolean              is
