Axapta Manager (AxDynManagerV1.02)

I previously made a program to list, start and stop Dynamics AX Services.

But i always thought that is missed a few features, so now I am starting on this new version. (Download link) 
This is version 1.02 see change list at the end of the post.

This version will still handle list, start and stop of services, but also restart of services, and it will also support multiple servers.

And as something new i have added the possibility to start your Dynamics AX from the program, supporting multiple configurations.


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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Edit:

Edit an existing configuration.

Delete:

Deletes the selected configuration.

Import from Registry:

Imports all AX configurations from the registry.

Import from Config file:

Imports one configuration from an AX configuration file.

If you double click on an item in the Configs list, that Dynamics AX will be started.

This function requires that the right version of AX is installed on the machine.

Planned changes.
