where you can execute a job in different environments in dynamics AX?

 

Missed the good old days where you can execute a job in different environments?

In the previous versions (AX 2009, AX 2012), you can do just that via AOT then run the job. Which is quite similar when in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operation but in this case, we will be using Visual Studio then set the RunnableClass as the startup object.

But what if you wanted to run the job in Test, UAT, and maybe even in Production? There's no AOT or Visual Studio to work with, right?

Fortunately, you still can. Using the SysClassRunner as the entry point in the URL and the cls parameter for the class name you wanted to execute.

That's it! Pretty easy but can be abused. So, execute the job carefully :)
