Properties of Enum DatabaseLogType

Question

Where can I find the properties of the BaseEnum DatabaseLogType in AX? It is used in (Sys)DatabaseLog?

I know there is a MSDN-Link, but is there any way to get those properties in AX itself?

Answer 1

Open the AOT and browse to Data Dictionary -> Base Enums.

Expand the type, and the element are listed.

You can then view the element properties.

Edit: This doesn't work for DatabaseLogType as it is a System Enum and not a Base Enum. I will leave the answer for future reference when people are searching for Base Enums

Edit 2: Work around for system enums!

As system Enums cannot be viewed in the AOT you can use the following job to view them (works on any Enum);

static void DisplaySystemEnum(Args _args)
{
    DictEnum dblt;
    int i;
    ;

    dblt = new DictEnum(enumName2Id("DatabaseLogType"));

    for (i=0; i < dblt.values(); i++)
    {
        info(strfmt("Value:%1 Name:%2 Label:%3",
                     int2str(dblt.index2Value(i)), 
                     dblt.index2Name(i),
                     dblt.index2Label(i)));
    }
}

Also take a look at MSDN DictEnum Class to see what else you could do to customise the job for your own needs.
