Distinct Product Import
Microsoft Dynamics AX is
shipped with many standard document services that support common business
processes. By using the capabilities that AIF provides, you can also customize
existing document services or create your own document services.
We have had several questions
on how to import items/products into AX 2012. Hope this helps!
Inbound port of the Product service
To call the service, you need to expose the service
on a new inbound port in Microsoft Dynamics AX.
1. Click System administration >Setup > Services
and Application Integration Framework > Inbound ports, and then
click New.
2. Give the new port a name, such as Product Data Import Services.
3. Enter a description.
4. Under Service Contract Customizations, click Service
Operations. The Select service operations form opens.
5. Select the all the product related operations, move them to
the Selected operations pane, and then click Close.
6. In the Inbound ports form, click Activate.
You can now access the service externally by using the
WSDL URI
Select the service Operations:
Select the service Operations:
After Selection of the services, activate the Port:
Set up the Product data import service reference in Microsoft Visual Studio
1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio®, and create a new project.
2. Add a new service reference by using the WSDL URI for the product data import service from the Inbound ports form.
3. Add a Using statement for the service reference.
You are now ready to start coding against the Distinct Product service.
