AX 2012: Trigger AIF Document Service Outbound Message in X++

Purpose:

The purpose of this document is to illustrate how we can trigger the generation of AIF document service outbound message in X++.

Business requirement:

Ability to generate an AIF outbound xml message on demand.

Assumptions:

Outbound port is configured using file system adapter.

Development:

Please find the job below to trigger an AIF document service outbound message in X++. The job uses the standard CustCustomerService class to generate outbound xml for customer data. Likewise the code can be used for any other valid document service class.
