<# .SYNOPSIS Start the AxBuild.exe .DESCRIPTION Invoke the AxBuild.exe with the necessary parameters to make it compile your application .PARAMETER BinDirectory The full path to the bin directory where the AOS instance is physical installed .PARAMETER AlternativeBinPath The full path to the client bin directory where AX 2012 Client is physical installed .PARAMETER InstanceNumber The 2 digit ([0-9][0-9]) number that the AOS instance has on the server .PARAMETER DatabaseServer The name of the server running SQL Server .PARAMETER ModelstoreDatabase The name of the AX 2012 modelstore database .PARAMETER Workers Number of workers that you want to utilize while compiling The built-in logic from AxBuild.exe will choose a number equal to your visible cores Leaving it blank or with 0 (Zero) will use the built-in logic from AxBuild.exe .PARAMETER Log Path to the log file you want AxBuild.exe to output to .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-AxAosInstance | Invoke-AxBuild This will find all AOS instances using the Get-AxAosInstance on the machine and pipe them to Invoke-AxBuild. For each AOS instance found it will start the AxBuild.exe against their individual details. It will store the log file under the default ax2012.tools folder. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Invoke-AxBuild This will start the AxBuild.exe against the ActiveAos configuration. It will store the log file under the default ax2012.tools folder. .NOTES Author: Mötz Jensen (@Splaxi) #> function Invoke-AxBuild { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, Position = 1)] [Alias('Path')] [string] $BinDirectory = $Script:ActiveAosBindirectory, [Alias('AltBin')] [string] $AlternativeBinPath = $Script:ClientBin, [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, Position = 3)] [Alias('Aos')] [string] $InstanceNumber = $Script:ActiveAosInstanceNumber, [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, Position = 4)] [Alias('DBServer')] [string] $DatabaseServer = $Script:ActiveAosDatabaseserver, [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, Position = 5)] [Alias('Modelstore')] [string] $ModelstoreDatabase = $Script:ActiveAosModelstoredatabase, [int] $Workers, [string] $Log = $(Join-Path $Script:DefaultTempPath "AxBuildLog.txt") ) begin { $executable = Join-Path $BinDirectory "AXBuild.exe" $compiler = Join-Path $BinDirectory "ax32serv.exe" if (-not (Test-PathExists -Path (Split-Path -Path $Log -Parent) -Type Container -Create)) { return } if (-not (Test-PathExists -Path $executable, $compiler -Type Leaf)) { return } } process { if (Test-PSFFunctionInterrupt) { return } $params = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList [void]$params.Add("xppcompileall") [void]$params.Add("/altbin=`"$AlternativeBinPath`"") [void]$params.Add("/aos=$InstanceNumber") [void]$params.Add("/dbserver=`"$DatabaseServer`"") [void]$params.Add("/modelstore=`"$ModelstoreDatabase`"") [void]$params.Add("/log=`"$Log`"") [void]$params.Add("/compiler=`"$compiler`"") if ((-not ($null -eq $Workers)) -and ($Workers -gt 0)) { [void]$params.Add("/workers=$Workers") } Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Starting $executable with $($params -join " ")" -Target ($params -join " ") Start-Process -FilePath $executable -ArgumentList ($params -join " ") -NoNewWindow -Wait } } |
