- 11. What is theAIF and Why is it Important? The Dynamics AX AIF provides the capability to integrate Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 with other systems inside and outside an organization by enabling the exchange of data through XML. This formatted XML is referred to as a document, and each document contains data and business logic. Documents are based on a document class and defined by using Microsoft Dynamics AX. Dynamics AX 2012 ships together with standard document services that support common business processes. As in Dynamics AX 2009, in Dynamics AX 2012 we can also customize existing services or create our services.

- 13. How Documents AreExchanged In synchronous mode requests are tightly coupled to responses, which means that the submitter of the request must wait for a response from the AIF before proceeding. In this case, the AIF does process the request immediately and then sends a response. In asynchronous mode however, requests are placed into a queue, called the Gateway Queue. Queued messages are processed at a later time and the AIF sends a response when processing is completed. In this case responses are delayed, but note that large volumes of messages can be processed more efficiently, and message processing can be controlled by changing various configuration settings. Furthermore the AIF can be used to send and retrieve data to and from Dynamics AX.

- 15. AIF Architecture DynamicsAX 2012 exposes its functionality through services that are based on the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and hosted on the Application Object Server (AOS). External applications and client applications on the Local Area Network (LAN) consume AX services by accessing them directly from AOS.

- 19. Types of Services AX2012 supports the following three kinds of services: Document services - Query-based services that can be used to exchange data with external systems by sending & receiving XML documents. These documents represent business entities, such as customers, vendors, or sales orders. Custom services - can be used by devs to expose any X++ logic such as X++ classes and their members, through a service interface. System services - provided by Microsoft Dynamics AX. System services include the Query service, Metadata service and User Session service. System services are not customizable and are not mapped to any query or X++ code. For more information about system services, see AIF System Services.

- 21. Integration Ports in AX2012 Each integration port also has a direction. An integration port can be either an inbound integration port or an outbound integration port. Inbound integration port - a destination for messages that originate from outside Microsoft Dynamics AX. Outbound integration port - a destination for messages that originate from Microsoft Dynamics AX System. Outbound integration ports are always enhanced ports. Outbound integration port - a destination for messages that originate from Microsoft Dynamics AX System. Outbound integration ports are always enhanced ports. Types Basic port Enhanced port
