To pick the quantities already reserved from an sales order item by code, you can use codes such as the following:

static void JobPick(Args _args)
{
    Query inventTransQuery;
    QueryRun qr;
    QueryBuildDataSource qbds;
    InventTrans inventTrans;
    InventDim inventDim;
    InventTransOrigin inventTransOrigin;
    TmpInventTransWMS tmpInventTransWMS;
    InventTransWMS_Pick inventTransWMS_Pick;
    SalesLine salesLine = SalesLine::findInventTransId('014417');
    
    inventTransQuery = new Query();
    qbds = inventTransQuery.addDataSource(tableNum(InventTrans));
    qbds.addRange(fieldNum(InventTrans, StatusIssue)).value(queryValue(StatusIssue::ReservPhysical));
    qbds = qbds.addDataSource(tableNum(InventTransOrigin));
    qbds.relations(true);
    qbds.joinMode(JoinMode::InnerJoin);
    qbds.addRange(fieldNum(InventTransOrigin, InventTransId)).value(salesLine.InventTransId);
    
    qr = new QueryRun(inventTransQuery);
    while (qr.next())
    {
        inventTrans = qr.get(tableNum(InventTrans));
        inventTransOrigin = qr.get(tableNum(InventTransOrigin));
        
        // Set inventory dimensions for picking
        inventDim = inventDim::find(inventTrans.InventDimId);
        inventDim.wmslocationId = "06A01R3S1B";   
        inventDim.LicensePlateId = "LP_61_A0001";
        inventDim = inventDim::findOrCreate(inventDim);
        
        tmpInventTransWMS.clear();
        
        inventTransWMS_Pick = InventTransWMS_Pick::newStandard(tmpInventTransWMS, inventTransQuery);
        
        tmpInventTransWMS.initFromInventTrans(InventTrans);
        tmpInventTransWMS.initFromInventTransOrigin(inventTransOrigin);
        tmpInventTransWMS.initFromInventDim(inventDim);
        
        tmpInventTransWMS.InventQty = -inventTrans.Qty;
        
        inventTransWMS_Pick.writeTmpInventTransWMS(tmpInventTransWMS);
        inventTransWMS_Pick.updateInvent();    
    }
}

Recently when running the Impact Analysis Tool I had the problem that the installer seemed to have a problem deleting the baseline database and stopped/handled at this point. By the way, there was no entry in the event log.

Interestingly, I also couldn't see the properties of the baseline database via SQL Server Management Studio, and the following error occurred:

Property Size is not available for Database '[AX2012R3_Baseline]'. This property may not exist for this object, or may not be retrievable due to insufficient access rights.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

So I have suspected that the database is broken in some way. Therefore I simply tried to re-initialize the baseline database via AXUTIL, which finally fixed my bug:

axutil schema /DB:AX2012R3_Baseline /S:MyServerName

After initializing the database I was able to start the Impact Analysis Tool without any problems.

Imagine you have a function build using the SysOperation framework that can be called at different places in the system, and you want to make sure that these calls do not share the same usage data.

In such a case you could create two (or more) MenuItems and override the method lastValueDesignName() of the controller as follows. This will store separate usage data for each MenuItem.

protected IdentifierName lastValueDesignName()
{
    IdentifierName ret;

    ret = super();

    if (this.parmArgs() && this.parmArgs().menuItemName())
    {
        ret = this.parmArgs().menuItemName();   
    }

    return ret;
}
