View document history

Microsoft Dynamics AX 4

Documents that are exchanged using the Application Integration Framework (AIF) reflect data in the Microsoft Dynamics AX database, such as, a purchase order. To exchange documents and data with trading partners and other applications, the AIF creates a message, which couples header information with the document payload.

You can view document and message information on the form.

If you select Message in the Display by field, you see information about the related action, the source and destination endpoints, and the date and time that the log entry was created.
If you select Document in the Display by field, in addition to the information above, you also see information about the form name and the entity of the underlying document.

Information about messages and document history are organized by action for each endpoint. Set the parameters for logging when you configure endpoint action policies. For more information, see Configure endpoint action policies.
