RPC Excessive Chattiness is usually caused by: Code running on wrong tier. Objects from other tier getting passed around thru references Display methods Pay attention to: ServerEvalFunc ServerNext ServerSetLoopDependency

Run the business logic in the right tier Logic on the client: Server static method: Problem: A server object is created on the client and all business logic like queries and more server call are executed on the client. Solution: Create a server static method with parameters to run all the business logic on the server, and all this static method from the client.

Instantiate and use the object in the correct tier Object instantiated on client is passed to the server: Pack client object and unpack on the server: Problem: A client object is instantiated and passed to a server static method (by reference). Solution: Implement the pack/unpack pattern to pass the object by value and re-instantiate the object on the server.

Avoid passing around objects from different tier The ServerSetClassLoopDependencies is an RPC that is executed every time that you store a server object as a member variable of a client object. Example 2 Example 1 Use Displaymethod caching where applicable.

Perf Patterns: Object mode vs. Ad Hoc mode Microsoft Dynamics® AX Technical Conference 2012 4/20/2017 Perf Patterns: Object mode vs. Ad Hoc mode Object mode Inner joins parent tables all the way to the root, and outer joins all child tables to the leaf. If you only need a few fields, specify the field list to trigger Ad Hoc mode Root table will always be inner joined. Access to unselected fields will throw exception. How to use Ad Hoc mode In Select statement and query, specify field list. On modeled Query, turn Dynamic fields to No. On FormDataSource, turn OnlyFetchActive to Yes. © 2012 Microsoft Corporation.

Perf Pattern: InMemory vs. TempDB temp table Microsoft Dynamics® AX Technical Conference 2012 4/20/2017 Perf Pattern: InMemory vs. TempDB temp table TempDB temp table is created on SQL Server TempDB TempDB temp table can join with permanent tables efficiently Insert into TempDB temp table cause a AOS-SQL roundtrip Make sure to use insert recordset to populate. Make sure to populate TempDB from AOS, not from Client. Samples: SubledgerJournalizer::loadSubledgerJournalTmpDetail © 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Top 10 tips from the session Know your systems workload. Microsoft Dynamics AX2012 R2 and CU4 includes performance improvements in 8 areas. Use SGOC for sharing business objects among server sessions. Use Ad Hoc mode to simplify queries and mitigate SCsc hierarchy impact. Use TempDB temp table to efficiently join with permanent tables. Use RunAs sessions to quickly turn your X++ logic into IL code. Use Business Operations Framework to transform Runbase classes, enjoy IL and Async modes. Run business logic in parallel whenever possible. Use new admin configuration settings to improve performance. Always take a trace of your code and use TraceParser to analyze perf issues.

Top 10 tuning tips Appropriate caching for every table If index is unique, mark it as unique Enable Numbersequence caching wherever possible Normalize BLOB usage Use Display method caching where appropriate. Avoid code in update/insert/delete methods thereby disabling set based processing Is OCC enabled for your customizations High performing list pages: Set fetch active only, Set firstfast, Reduce order by Ad hoc mode In Select statement and query, specify field list On modeled Query, turn Dynamic fields to No On FormDataSource, turn OnlyFetchActive to Yes Use static report design wherever applicable

Top 10 X++ code tuning tips Use set based operations insert_recordset , update_recordset and delete_from Aggregate instead of iterate Don’t loop for check if used SQL TempDB (Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012) Con2buf / buf2con (Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012) Bundle calls from client to server No join on in memory TempDB Use Parallel processing wherever possible, Parallelism top picking vs. bundling Utilize SysGlobalCache and SysGlobalObjectCache (Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012) Avoid using PESSIMISTICLOCK in your code Every call which does not need to be in a loop should moved out

Top 10 SQL tuning tips Ensure correct configuration (http://blogs.msdn.com/axperf) Find and resolve Parameter sniffing Have a clustered index on every table, overall ensure all your queries are index supported Don’t create indexes directly on SQL If index keys are a leading subset of another index, index can probably be dropped In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 use included columns to your advantage Evaluate compression to reduce IO footprint Use Archiving (IDMF) to keep your data small Resolve hidden scans Support sortation with correct indexing
