During development suddenly Ax stop working. When I try to connect web url https://usnconeboxax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com. It shows page can not display. Previously it was working fine.
On Event viewer I found following exception.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:

Exploring the Dynamic Ax (AX 7) workspace.
New Dynamics AX (AX 7) is web based. Its navigation layout is different than Dynamics Ax 2012.
Writing of this blog post, I am using Dynamics Ax 7 CTP8 beta version, so possible later version will have better navigation layout.
Lets explore what Current version offers us.
When we login into AX 7 web page. The first page or dashboard appears shows us multiple workspace. These workspace are depended on login user role.
Currently I am login with administrator user. So It will show all workspaces. Consider following screenshot.
Dashboards central area shows the multiple workspace links based on role of login user.
Left section contains a calendar, favorites and recently used pages. Calendar shows us current date. If click on any date, pop up message ask to change the session date.
On favorite tab, can be find all favorite page linked, which select as favorite, this feature helps user to go on specific page directly on which he most frequently works.
Next to it Recent, Here Dynamics Ax shows all forms you recently visited inside Dynamics Ax. It is some kind of history.
From right side or right section user can find all links to records which are assigned to him or her as result of workflow submission.
If we see top menu bar It will contains legal entry change, universal search and module menu. In below screenshot I attached different points to described in more detail.
Point 1: If we click Dynamics Ax button, this will lead us on dashboard page or home page.
Point 2: Click on Icon pointed in 2. This will shows us pop up menu, which take us different modules and there respected forms.
Point 3: AX provide excellent search button, for example in point 3 I entered the word “Product” , a drop down shows all possible links where word product found.
Point 4: On point 4 is place where we can change legal entity
Point 5: Next item is on click we found link for task record and other option.
Now we explore on other Sales order processing and Inquiry workspace. For this we have to click on top menu and open
On clicking that we find following workspace page open
The workspace is clearly divided into three parts.
- Summary one is summary section.
This section shows the summary of number of issues, status, count of particular status. For example above summary section shows that currently two unconfirmed sales order, Zero confirmed sales orders and 0 partially shipped in current legal entity. This summary also contains quick links for All Sales Orders and All customers.
If I click on Unconfirmed summary button this will leads to list page where unconfirmed sales orders are placed.
You can also see the action pane in above screenshot, This form open as result of clicking on Unconfirmed Sales Order summary button.
- Second section is tab section.
Tab are shows the list, steps and do list. For example if I click on unconfirmed tab than tabbed area looks the like following screen shot.
- Third section in workspace is links. Where you find links for other pages which related current paged. Here you find inquiries, frequently access page links etc.
Multiple windows.
While working we usually open multiple screens, for this purpose Dynamics Ax 7 , provide a button on Action pane. Click on this button you can open multiple web pages.
Reports:
We can also run reports from pop up menu. Lets run sales orders per customer.
By clicking on “Sales Order per customer” following tab open at right side of workspace.
Expand Records to Include and add filter for report
Click on filter under “Record to Include”
Click ok and customer is selected
Click ok to run report.
Loading and loading wait for loading report for selected Sales order.
Taa taan Reports opens.
Running Dynamics Ax 7 CT8 Vm on Windows 8.1
By writing of this post, I just download the AX7 CTP8 Vm and configure on my machine.
I successfully configure it on hyper V. Only one tricky point is external network adapter in Hyper V.
First step is download VHD and extract it to some place. If you are registered to AX 7 Feedback program, then you must have vhd download link.
After the download, run the self-extract exe and extract the Vhd at specific location.
Step 2. Create a new external network adapter
Open hyper v console, and create new external network. As I am using wireless network, so I select it as bridge for using internet inside VM. You can use your Ethernet network as bridge.
Step 3 Create a new Vm.
Select generation 1 vm in next step
Set 8 GB ram to vm, recommend ram is 16 GB.
Select network adapter we created in previous step.
Select use existing hard drive and select the Vhd extracted in previous steps.
Click on next and click on finished.
Run the VM and click on connect button. Login in with “Administrator” and Password is “pass@word1”
When VM is running you find new network connection ask your permission, Click on Yes button.
Please check that network is working fine inside VM. Some times it will gives error “network has not assigned ip address”. If external network adapter will not work then you have to create internal network and use that.
For this I create Internal network adapter in Hyper v. For currently I created a new internal adapter with name
“GateWayToInternet”.
Now open the network and sharing center in windows. either using wifi or Ethernet. right click on it and from properties window select sharing tab.
check the checked box for sharing internet and from drop down select the v Ethernet (which we create in one above step). stop the vm and use newly created internal network adapter in its network setting. When you start the vm. it will successfully access the internet and let you access ax 7 in browser.
For more detail for Internal networks setting please use following link, I used it for configuration.

Wait a few minutes and then open Internet Explorer and type following url
https://usnconeboxax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com
This will lead you at login page
For login you need to use some office 365 account. Currently I used my other account which i created for Microsoft Dynamics CRM trail. Possible if office 365 account did not work then register for CRM trail. 🙂
You may found “Provision tool” on the desktop of VM”.
Right click on it and run it as administrator.
enter your office 365 account and click on submit.
wait a few minutes. When success message popup login with office 365 account.
If your network Adapter is successfully configured, AX 7 welcome page will open, other wise you will find error page.
