16. 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

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

23. 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.

24. 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.

Supports Batch, Service, and RunAs sessions; no Client support
Business logics run faster
Compiled runtime (IL) vs. interpreted runtime (X++ interpreter)
What about SQL queries and kernel class invocations?
Use .NET Garbage Collection
Scale up on AOS (Server GC vs. Client GC)
RunAs:
Easiest way to utilize IL
Minimal restructuring of X++ code
Use runClassMethodIL or runTableMethodIL
Caveat: RunAs will run in a new session
Transaction scope

29. 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.

30. 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

31. 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

32. Top 10 SQL tuning tips
Ensure correct configuration (
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
