AX 2009 Workflow

Today I started exploring AX 2009 Workflow by following the Appendix A of the Development I in the Microsoft Official Training Manuals.

The version of my manual had some missing steps, these mainly being:

a missing (but important) code snippet for creating the main() method for the 'Submit to Workflow Class' which I then found on MSDN here (scroll down until you find it);

failure to make you create a subject; and

it assumes that AX 2009 SP1 already has a 'Workflow Configuration' Menu Item for the Projects Module but I had to create it manually (in the process I discovered that the Bug in AX 2009 RTM, which only scans the sys layer for new work flow items, is now solved in SP1).

Very nice quote

"You see, developing software is a process. The consumer will typically see the end product as if it magically popped out of thin air. But it didn't magically appear. There were meetings, specs, coding sessions, coffee, code reviews, debugging sessions, coffee, testing, explanations, eureka moments, coffee, and so on ..."

Inspired from the book "Inside Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Web Services" by David Sterling; Ben Spain; Michael Mainer; Mark Taylor; Huw Upshall.

Thanks for this nice quote :)
