Using Microsoft AX 2012 R2 published webservice

Question

I am currently working on a pipeline program that has to interface with AX, and have just noticed that Ax does have an webservice accesible using on port 8101. http://localhost:8101/DynamicsAx/Services/ODataQueryService/ $metadata

But how do i retrieve meaningful data out?

And am I able to extract the same data, which is stored in the ax sql db?

Answer 1

.NET Business connector could be another option for you. It basically provides you an alternative to standard services provided by AX. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/developer/how-to-update-data-using-net-business-connector

Use this approach to write a connector to AX and then extract the data in any format you want.
