view complete xps
Simple job generates .dot file from xrefs which can be read my MSAGL.
There is also well known graph layout package - graphviz. (.dot it it's native format)

https://community.dynamics.com
Here is announce:
Within the next few weeks you will begin to see the Microsoft Dynamics Community pages located at http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/community, moving to a new location at https://community.dynamics.com. We are making this move in an effort to streamline the accessibility of all Microsoft Dynamics communities and make the user experience of interacting with community experts and your peers much easier. The newsgroups as you see them today will still be intact, but the web pages which you use today to access them will be different. Plus you'll see more streamlined content and future functionality additions, such as networking tools!
To get a jump start on the transition, I would encourage you to register on the new site TODAY – once you do, you can begin to interact with our non-technical role based communities which reside there today for Finanse, Sales & Marketing, and Customer Service professionals.

Book review: “Quality Assurance for Dynamics AX-Based ERP Solutions”
As some other bloggers, I have received the book for review. Here are my impressions…
This book is written about several aspects of quality assurance in Dynamics Ax implementation projects. I think the main focus is on customizations development because most topics related to it.
Quality in the following areas is covered by the book:
- Code
- User interface
- Security
- Performance
- Organizational
Detail level differs from topic to topic: for example code topics contain introductory material and detailed BP rules, user interface topic consists of very concrete checklists and security aspects are showed almost only as general word about trustworthy computing. The book is not very thick (~150 pages), but contains information only in textual form (text, tables, lists), so information density is higher than in most modern books filled with screenshots and code samples.
My overall impression - good enough as introductory book. It can be useful if you are:
- Novice developer and want to have overview about what quality in dynamics ax means
- Some kind of manager who want to build a development process with focus on quality (you can borrow some rules and checklists)
- Some other non-developer who wants to have overall outline about quality in Ax
I think, there are some topics, which should be covered by the future books of such direction, but haven't been covered by this book:
- Administration issuer
- Functional setup issues
Other topics (such as end-user training) which are parts of real implementation projects but haven't been represented in the book

BeauSQL -- SQL beautifier
The purpose is to make SQL traces code more structured and core readable.
This tool consists of two parts:
- DLL, which is written in Haskell - a very interesting functional programming language, and it do actual work of parsing and pretty printing
- Small class in Ax which is a thin wrapper for the DLL and button to place in SQL trace form.
This is the first version, it is very experimantal and tested under Ax 3 only.
PS. Some code was stealed from cs4 tool for BAAN

Trace Parser small bug
But since it is in the "beta" stage, there are some problems with usability and stability.
For example, when I run the "trace summary" menu item on my trace I've got an exception. It seems (thanks to reflector) the cause is in SqlTimeBreakDown function in SQL server Trace Parser database.
When I add condition to exclude division by zero, it results in empty
grid instead of exception.
This is the fix:
if @SQLTime>0 -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< the fix
begin
INSERT INTO @BreakdownInformation
SELECT (sum(PrepDuration) * 100)/@SQLTime [% of time in SQL Prep],(
sum(BindDuration) * 100)/@SQLTime [% of time in SQL Bind],
(sum(RowFetchDuration) * 100)/@SQLTime [% of time in SQL Row Fetch],
(sum(ExecuteDuration) * 100)/@SQLTime [% of time in SQL Execution]
from SqlQueryInstance
WHERE traceId = @Traceid AND sessionid = @sessionid
end -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< the fix
RETURN
