Hi there,

Can anyone tell me where and how to generate Inbound and Outbound XML in AX 2012? Because I need to integrate a third party application to Dynamics AX using these XML files.

Thanks,

Russel

HI Russel,
First thing for which service you want generate the inbound and outbounf XML, Whether it is standard AX existing service or it newly created/customized service.

Go to the
Outbound:
System Administration → Setup → Service and Application Integration Framework → Outbound Ports.

check the service is in Activated state to generate the outbound XML.
To generate the outbound XML, below is the link for example.https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/dynamicsaxsolutions/archive/2015/05/26/generating-the-outbound-xml-file-for-all-records-using-file-system-adapater-in-ax-2012-aif

Once the outbound XML is generated, by making some changes to the outbound XML, it can be used as inbound XML.

XML files can be generated and consumed in infinite number of ways. You probably mean AIF document service exchanged through the file system adapter, but you might also want anything else. You can synchronous web service calls, various AIF adapters, BizTalk, custom services and so on and so on. It’s hard to say if you don’t explain what you’re actually trying to achieve.

In either case, learning about AIF can’t harm: Guide to the Services and AIF Documentation.
