Run a message from custom code

You can run a message from code. You can do so to export or import data. For example, you can run a message to:

• Import data: If you want to select a file from a local folder, copy it to your work folder, and process the message to import the data from the file.

• Export data: If you want to export sales orders that get a specific status. For example, all sales orders that get the status Delivered, are exported.

Create custom code

 To run a message from code, some code customizations are required. As no changes to standard code are allowed, you can:  

• Extend the desired standard D365 F&SCM class or table, if supported.

• Create a new class.

The custom class must be run at a point where you want to run the message. Use this custom class to call and run the message. For example, you can extend the post packing slip code, to run a message when the sales order gets the status Delivered.

In the custom class, add code to:  

1. Find the message. For example:
   BisConMessageTable myMessage = BisConMessageTable::FindRecid(MyMessageReicd);

2. Create the message arguments. For example:
   BisArgs myArgs = new BisArgs();

3. Adjust arguments. For example, to add the current record:
   myArgs.record(currentRecord); (this is, in the example, the Delivered sales order record)

4. Optionally, add dialog arguments to define the range. For example:
   BisDialogBase myDialog = new BisDialogBase();
myDialog.setFieldValue("company", curext());
myArgs.dialogBase(myDialog);

   Note

   Make sure, to add the dialog argument as parameter to the applicable document record range.

5. Run the message. This code processes the message with the defined arguments. For example:
   myMessage.run(myArgs);
