Axapta Manager (AxDynManagerV1.06)

I previously made a program to list, start and stop Dynamics AX Services.
But i always through that is missed a few features, so now I am starting on this new version. (Download link
This is version 1.06 see change list at the end of the post.

The program is tested for AX 2009 and AX 2012.

When you start the program this is what you will see:

On the left you will see the list of services that you have, and on the right the list of possible AX configurations.

Config menu.


Under the menu item, Tools/Config, you can change the programs settings.

Here you can add/remove computers to look for services on.

To remove a computer from the list, double click on the item.
To add a computer, input its name in the text box, and press the "Add" button, or enter.
The refresh field controls how often the service list will be refreshed.

Controlling services.


If you right click on an item in the service list, you will get this menu, where you can start, stop or restart a service.
If you select more that one Service, all those services will be affected. If you choose to restart, all services will first stop, and only start again when all services has stopped.

You can also control a service by double clicking on it, double clicking on a started service will stop it, and on a stopped service it will start it.

Changing AX Config list.


If you right click on an item in the Config list, you will get this menu.












Edit:
Edit an existing configuration.

Starting AX.

  1. Thanks for the new version. I installed version 1.06 today on a system where the tool was not installed before and got a message "No AX configurations found This version of AxDynManager requires existing ax configurations." Then the program opened, but I got exception error messages (sorry, didn't save a copy). As a workaround, I installed version 1.03 (which started without a problem), imported a configuration from file there and then updated again to 1.06, which now works.
