Using an enhanced document service
In Dynamics AX, services can be exposed using basic or enhanced integration ports. Normally, simple services are exposed using basic ports. Conversely, enhanced ports are used in more complex scenarios. Enhanced ports offer additional capabilities compared to the basic integration ports.
