Filter AOT objects using X++ in Ax2012

Hey guys,

Let's discuss a very interesting code for the simple purpose of filtering objects in a project. I hope we all know about the standard of Ax to filter and import AOT objects in a project. So now we will see how to do it using x++ code:

static void alle_aks_ImportObjectsToProjects(Args _args)
{
    sysprojectfilterrunbase varProject;
    utilelements            aotElements;

    varProject = new sysprojectfilterrunbase();
    varProject.parmProjectNode(systreenode::createProject('Alle_GST_TaxObejcts'));
    varProject.grouping(sysprojectgrouping::AOT);

    while select name, utilLevel, RecordType, ParentId from aotElements
        where aotElements.utilLevel == UtilEntryLevel::var
        && aotElements.name like 'Tax*'
    {
        try
        {
            aotElements.reread();
            varProject.doUtilElements(aotElements);
        }
        catch (exception::Error)
        {
            throw error('Error');
        }
    }
    varProject.write();
    info('Done');
}

Here you can modify the while select query to suit your need i.e. to change the layer or the name filter.
