Microsoft Dynamics AX V3 Operations Overview

Microsoft Dynamics AX V3 exposes the web service API that the Secure Agent uses to perform integration tasks through the SOAP protocol.

When you create a mapping, you can associate a Microsoft Dynamics AX V3 connection and an operation. Based on the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 WSDL you specify in the connection, the Secure Agent connects to the corresponding web service in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to access, transform, or deliver data. The request and response are SOAP messages. The SOAP request and response messages contain hierarchical data, where the data follows an XML schema. If you want to write data to a relational target, the Secure Agent converts the hierarchical data fetched from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to relational data.
