Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

This document teaches you some of the basic steps to create a simple retail customization.

• The first part of the white paper focuses on a very simple customization and covers the following basic steps:
  • Extend the Microsoft Dynamics AX commerce runtime (CRT) by writing a new CRT service. (No change will be made to existing Retail software development kit [SDK] code.)
  • Extend Retail Server by writing a new customer action.
  • Make changes to the Retail Modern POS (MPOS) UI design in Microsoft Dynamics AX, and push the changes to the store.
  • Extend MPOS by using the new Retail Server/CRT functionality from the UI.
  The second part of the white paper covers the following steps:
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX: Add a new data entity that is related to a retail store, and populate it by using a job (no UI).
  • Commerce Data Exchange (CDX): Configure CDX to include the new table in data synchronizations.
  • CRT: Add a new data entity and new service.
  • Retail Server: Expose a new controller for the new entity, and add a new OData action.
  • MPOS: Add plumbing to call Retail Server, and update the UI to expose data.
