AOT Maps in Ax 2012

 The fields of the maps are basically use to map fields of one or more tables.By the help of a maps we can   access   the fields of one or more tables with different names.

Steps For Creating Maps:

  For implementation i have created two tables named DaxSalesTable and DaxProductsTable you can see  in          below  image.

                         

    in both the tables i have similar fields.

    After that i created a Map 

    AOT >> DataDictionary >> Maps and Right click and create a Map

    then add the fields to map here i have added three fields.As you can see in below image

                            

     

      Next,Under your newly created map you can find mappings node 

      Create mapping  and Set the property mapping table

            

   Here i have mapped DaxProductsTable  and then i have mapped the fields as you can see in below image

     

  Now I have created a job on which I will map a table on this map and than use it.

  static void Job3(Args _args)

{

    DaxMapTest          test; //map declaration

    // tables

    DaxSalesTable       daxSalesTable;

    DaxProductsTable    daxProductsTable;

    // Assigning values to the map 

    test.productnumber = "DAX-001";

    test.ProductName   = "Jaipal Jadav";

    info(strFmt("Map AccountNum : %1",test.productnumber));

    // Now here  setting accountnum field to daxProductsTable field

    test = daxProductsTable;

    test.productnumber = "DAX-002";

    test.ProductName   = "Srikanth Jadav";

    info(strFmt("Salestable AccountNum : %1",test.productnumber));

    //Now here  setting accountnum field to daxSalesTable field

    test = daxSalesTable;

    test.productnumber = "DAX-003";

    test.ProductName   = "Akhil Jadav";

    info(strFmt("Producttable AccountNum :%1",test.productnumber));

    

}

 Result:
