Today we will continue to discuss Microsoft Dynamics AX. We briefly reviewed the user interface features to get to know Dynamics AX. Then we looked at the variety of tools for viewing and analyzing business data. Data is usually presented in Reports. Reports can be generated in a variety of ways. The standard-reports are pre-constructed views of business data and they number in hundreds. Reports are available from their data sources such as general ledger. Auto reports enables us to view the data from a form and these data can be saved to the Application Object Tree AOT. Ad hoc reports provide greater flexibility for generating reports although they still use a report template. This is helpful when parameters have to be passed in to generate the reports. OLAP reports span more duration of data for analysis where trends in business data becomes more important.
Tasks might take longer to execute. Sometimes its best to let it run elsewhere and at some other time where they can be prioritized, queued and executed. For this purpose we can submit batch jobs which are maintained in a batch job list.
Documents may be attached to data. This is helpful in cases where we need to add notes and attachments to the data. Multiple notes may be attached to the same data.
The enterprise portal enables web based access to the dynamics instance on a server installed in the enterprise network. Access is role based such as employees, Sales representatives, consultants, vendors, customers etc.

In an M×N board with Q horses and their coordinates, moves are only possible by swapping horses.
These horses move as usual to any of their eight location from their current position . How many distinct chess board arrangements are possible.
We discussed one solution as to enumerate all the squares that can be occupied by individual pieces say n and permute k horses in that space which leads us to P(n,k). Another way to do this would be to identify each square that can be occupied and the pieces that can occupy it together with all the pairs that can swap. If we confirm that the available squares can be occupied by all pieces in one or more moves, then we can lean towards permutations as an easy way to determine the answer.

This can also be solved with a graph and finding paths where the intermediary nodes are the positions occupied by the other horses.
