Generate and Enable AIF Service

Step 1: Open the Sana project in the Application Object Tree (AOT) and expand the Services section. Right-click on the SC_AXDataServiceClient service, select Add-Ins, and then click Register actions.

Step 2: In Microsoft Dynamics AX go to: Basic > Setup > Application Integration Framework > Services.

Step 3: Locate the SC_AXDataServiceClient service.

Step 4: Click on the Generate button to generate the service artifacts for each enabled AIF service. The generation process copies the service and all the generated files to the folder [Microsoft Dynamics AX installation path]\Application\Appl\DynamicsAx\ServiceGeneration.

If there are configured webshops in the Webshops form, the service is copied to the content directory specified for each webshop (by default the content directory is [Microsoft Dynamics AX installation path]\AifWebservices). This enables external callers to consume the service and is only necessary for document exchanges using web services.

The generated service artifacts include the following:

  • The *.svc file

  • The schemas for the service operation parameters and return values

  • The web.config file.

Step 5: Select the Enabled checkbox to enable the SC_AXDataServiceClient service.

If all steps have been followed and performed, then AIF service is enabled and generated.
