Jobs

A job is a stand-alone block of code in Microsoft Dynamics AX that can be run
from the X++ editor. Jobs are used primarily for testing code during development
and running batch processes within Microsoft Dynamics AX that affect large
amounts of data.
This course uses jobs as a mechanism to write code and run it directly from the
X++ editor. Most code for applications is written in classes, methods, tables, and
forms. However, jobs are useful for testing blocks of code before inserting them
into methods or classes.
The following is default code when you create a new job in the AOT:static void Job1(Args _args)
{
}NOTE: Unlike classes and other elements in the AOT, jobs can only be renamed
in the Code Editor. Most other AOT elements can have their name changed in theProperty window, or directly on the AOT node.Create a new job by right-clicking the Job node on the AOT, and selecting New
Job. The X++ editor opens, displaying the new job. The job can be renamed in
the text editor or in the AOT. In the example above, the job is called Job1 and
can be renamed by change Job1 to the required namein the text editor.
