Hi all,

TIP FOR CONSULTANT, not to be followed in Customer Environment.


The account need to run Services of NAVISION RTC Client as per Microsoft Documents Should be a Domain Account with Password expiration policy set to False.


What if you are not in domain and the database and service are in your local machine?


If you are working at home and don't have a internet connectivity that can connect you to domain. Does this service Work?

NOT of Course.

The best way it to after configuration Just change the service to Run as Network Service.



For NAV 2009, 2009 SP1 & 2009 R2 you can change the logon parameter when you are not in domain

FOR NAV 2013 it does not apply.

Hi all,

Integration with Excel Continued ... (Previous Article)

Now lets assume a Live Environment.

Server A have the Database, its a Database Tier (Navision).

Server B have the service, its a Service Tier (Navision).

Clients X1 & X2 have Navision clients.

Client Y is not a Navision User (Navision Client Not Installed).

We have synchronized Windows Login of X1, X2 & Y in Navision Database.


Story / Requirement -

Client Y Require to See below listed information in excel (Every Day)-
1) Release Sales Orders.

* But as per management we cannot provide access to Navision to Y.

Solution -

We have below listed options -

1. Either Client X1 or X2 Provide List to Client Y Daily by exporting it to excel.

2. We can have a report which can be automated using NAS to send daily to Client Y.

3. We can use the Excel Integration.

Solution Analysis -

Solution 1.
What if Both X1 & X2 are not in office ?
What if Y Requires the List At 8:00 AM but X1 & X2 reach office at 11:00 AM?


Solution 2. 
What is the filters have been changed, Partner intervention required to do customization.

Let's see how we can use Excel integration to full fill requirement of Client Y -

As discussed in Post 1, Either X1 or X2 can use Excel Integration with Navision 2013 and  Export Filtered Sales Order List to Excel.

As per Y Requirement, X1 / X2 Created the filtered view and exported it to Excel. The Excel Sheet will look like as shown below.


The First Row shows the service Path which points to Server B.

Q & A -

1) Does User Y have rights to use the service tier (server B) ?

YES.

2) Does User Y have Refresh Tab in Excel to get the updated information from NAV?

NO.

In the next post we will see how we can bring that Dynamics NAV tab in User Y Machine.

Hi all,

Integration with Excel Continued ... (Previous Article 1& Article 2)

NAV USERS WHO CANNOT SEE DYNAMICS NAV TAB IN EXCEL CAN START FOLLOWING STEPS FROM STEP NO. 5.

So lets configure User Y Machine so that he can use the Excel Provided by User X1 / X2 to get updated data.

1) For Getting Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tab in Excel we need to install a Visual Studio Tool For Office(VSTO) named as - Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin.

2) The setup on a NON Navision User have some Pre-requisites -

a) Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.
b) Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Redist.

These Pre-requisites can be found in Prerequisite Components of Navision DVD as shown below.



3) So we will install these components on Client Y Machine.

4) No for installing VSTO Excel Addin there are two way -

A) Copy RoleTailored Client Folder From "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\70" from user X1 / X2 machine to User Y Machine.

B) Copy below listed files from User X1 / X2 machine. These files can be found under
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\70\RoleTailored Client" to User Y Machine.

Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Patterns.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility.xml
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Mapping.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Navigation.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.UX2006.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.UX2006.WinForms.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Windows.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.WinForms.Controls.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.WinForms.DataVisualization.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.WinForms.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.ServiceConnection.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.UI.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.WinForms.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin.dll.manifest
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Language.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.dll
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.v4.0.Utilities.dll
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities.dll
Microsoft.Windows.Shell.dll
RibbonControlsLibrary.dll

5) Run Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin from the folder,icon shown below.







6) You can check installation status also in control panel.




Now user Y will find Dynamics NAV Tab in Excel and he/she can refresh the list whenever required, to get updated data.

I hope these integration post might help you.

What is Use of Attach file in Open Database Window ?

Hi all,

I was wondering from a long time for the use of Attach File in Open Database Window. I don't know you have noticed it ever or not.

Curiously i pressed F1 to find out use of it and here is what i got -

"If you want to attach and open a detached database that consists of a single data file, excluding the transaction log file, then you must enter the complete path and file name of the database in the Attach File field. This file typically has the .mdf file name extension. You can give this single file database any name by entering it in the Database Name field on the General tab. If no transaction log file exists with the data file, it is automatically created when you attach the data file. The database file is attached when you open it."

It means if i have -

1) Rights on SQL Server to create a database.
2) A detached database with single mdf file.

I can attach that database without opening SQL Server Management studio.

Great! lets try this -

Below is the image of my SQL Server Database before i start.


I have a mdf file placed in my D Drive that i want to attach.


I opened navision client and clicked on open database, below are the properties that i set -


Where i selected the server, Provided a database name, Authentication, and Attach File Path with Name.

Once i clicked ok, this is what happened.


Let me see my SQL Server management studio.


I have the new database attached here. Great.

I don't why i haven't seen it earlier.

I am not sure from which version it started but i just checked its there from version 4 onward.

Hope you like it.

Hi all,

Just an update.

While using NAV 2013 i was missing a great tool that was Code Coverage which used to resolve most of issues during debugging.

It was used to show objects that have been called during execution of a Function.

Microsoft have released "Application Test Toolset for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013", which also contain Code Coverage tool for NAV 2013.

There are many other tools which can be used.

Lets try them out with below link.

If you want to download just the Code coverage tool, then follow the MIBUSO Link.

If you want the complete Application Test Toolset for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 then follow Link (Partner Source Login Required).

Of course we know how to use Code coverage, but if you want to learn how to use other tools shipped in Application Test ToolSet for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 then follow the Link.

Hope these tools make our programming life easier.

I will try to use other tools shipped and will come up with some post if required.

Hi all,

I always used to get confused during development about numbering of objects & fields.

Today i browsed and found out a link which explain mostly all the commonly used numbering patterns in Navision.

Let me summarize them -

1) Objects Numbers have following bifurcations -  


2) The fields in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are grouped as indicated in the following table.


3) Standard Reports are grouped based on Application areas as below -


4) Codeunits are also grouped based on there Final Digits.


Also as per Microsoft Article - 
"Do not use the object numbers 99,000 - 99,999 for objects that you create, even though they are in the customer design area. The training material for Microsoft Dynamics NAV uses these numbers."

The detailed article can be found at MSDN.

Hope this helps someone who have same doubts like me.

Hi all,

During upgrade one of the conman issue is extra language in database objects.

Consider a Scenario -

My client During implementation uses NAV 5.0 SP1 APAC Database.
But as the language English (New Zealand) was not required had been deleted before implementation.

Now client want to upgrade to NAV 2013 APAC. For comparison i require to create a base database which will be in my case NAV 5.0 SP1 APAC without Language
English (New Zealand).

Let's see how we can delete the Language Layer from a database. I will take example of above scenario.

1) Open NAV 5.0 SP1 APAC Database.

2) You can check existing Language From
   - Open properties of any field in any table and check caption ML.




3) As per our requirement we don't require ENZ (English (New Zealand).

4) Open Object Designer, Select All Objects.

5) From Tools Click Language Module and select Export.


6) Provide the File Name, Select Language you want to delete and click Delete Language.



7) Click OK and it will remove the Language Layer from Objects.



8 Click on confirmation box for language deletion.

9) Reopen Navision and just to make sure repeat step 2.


So we have successfully deleted the language layer from the database objects.

In Next post we will see how to add the same language into another database objects.

Hi All,

Let's discuss a conman Question mostly asked/raised during Upgrade Process.

How do i add a language Layer to my Database.

What is Use Language Layer?

Language Layer Enable to Database Objects to Support Multiple Language.

How to find languages in my database?

1. Open any objects in your database (say table).
2. Select any standard field and navigate to its properties.
3. Check the Value in CaptionML Property.
4. This will list the caption of field in all the languages that you have in your database.



5. As shown above the field have single language (ENU).

If we want to add a language in a database we need to remember three point -

1) The applied language layer only update captionML property of Standard Fields ONLY.
2) You cannot import Language layer until and unless all the objects of database are compiled.
3) You require the .flm file of the language you want to add.
4) Once language is imported all the objects have modified flag set to True.



Steps to Import Language Layer -

1) Open Classic Client / Developer Environment.
2) Open Object Designer.
3) Select All Objects.
4) From Tools Select Language Module and select Import.



5) Select the Flm File and click Open.


Open the same table and open the same field you will find multiple values in captionML Property of field.



I hope you will find this post useful.

Hi all,

If you would have noticed with the introdcution of RTC Client in 2009 i.e NAV 2009, in C/AL Symbol Menu Report have some new options.

1. Save as PDF.
2. Save as Excel.



And after release of NAV 2013 There is one more addition to the list.

3. Save as Word.



Let's discuss what is required to use these options as then try to use them.

Requirement -

1) The Report that you are planning to save as PDF/Excel/Word should have RTC Layout Created. (Before NAV 2013)

So let's try this with a standard report Report 206 "Sales - Invoice" with NAV 2013.

I am adding options to Save AS in the Action of The Posted Sales Invoice Page as shown below.



Now i will add code in the all the actions as shown below.



So lets try to use these buttons from RTC.

I opened the Posted Sales invoice page in RTC, and as shown below i see three icons for save as PDF. save as word & save as excel.



As soon as i clicked on all these icons below is the output on my D Drive.



Here is how the output looks.



* Remember these functions will overwrite the file with same name in same location if any.

Future Customization (What i can think, you might add to this) -

a) Path can be setup based.
b) File name can be document Number.
c) Report No. can also be setup based.
d) This can be in one single button to save in all three formats.
e) You can automate it Via NAS.

I hope you will use these post for customization like sending reports to client in PDF/Word/Excel Format.

If Required download modified Page for NAV 2013 IN Version from my skydrive.

Hi all,

In Previous posts we discussed how to install NAS and configure NAS on your system.

Please move ahead with steps only if you have one NAS installed as discussed in previous post.

*Remember NAS is Company Specific (It means once instance of NAS cannot run for multiple companies).

What is my client want to have use NAS in two companies or two databases.

Let's see how we can do that.

Default Installation Path for NAS is - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60.

1. Navigate to the folder and copy and paste it to same location as shown below.



2. Name the copied folder as per your requirement. I name it as "Application Server2".

3. Now we need a service that will be used to activate and configure it.

4. Open Command Prompt (RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR).

5. Navigate to new folder path with following command -

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\<FolderName>

in my case

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Application Server2

6. Click Enter Your Command Prompt Should look like this.



7. Copy and Paste Below Command on Notepad.

nassql.exe appservername=NAS2, NETTYPE=TCP, servername="INDEL-SXD6995N1",database="Demo Database NAV (6-0)", company="Company For NAS2", nettype=tcp,startupparameter=”JOBQUEUE”, objectcache=40000, installasservice

8. Change below listed parameter as per you requirement.

 a) AppServerName - Name of NAS Instance you want to give.
 b) Server Name - Name or IP of your Server.
 c) Database - Database Name on the server.
 d) Company - Company Name for which you want to configure.

9. Copy the command into command prompt and click enter.

10. NAS2 is installed and you will get a confirmation on Command Prompt as shown below.



11. Now let's navigate to services.msc to check the new service created.

12. We have a new service named NAS2 As shown below.


13. Now change the login to windows Login and open configuration panel of NAS.

14. Click and Select New Application server.

15. Enter Details of server and Service Name (as per new service created).



16. Other details are already filled in while creating service.



17. Just click start and service will be started.

Hope you will be able to configure multiple NAS Session in your system.

* In case you are planning to configure NAS for Native Client then in step 7 Use Nas.exe instead of NasSQL.exe.

Hi all,

In previous post we had seen how to install developer toolkit.

Now for performing any action in developer toolkit we require a developer toolkit database.

REMEMBER -

1. Developer Toolkit Database Support Specific Version of Database Created. Please use correct NAV Version for creating database.

 NDT 3.1 - NAV 2009.
 NDT 2.93 - NAV 4SP3.

* You can find details about database version in PDF that comes with Setup.

Let's see how to create a developer toolkit database.

1. Open Navision Client and create a new database.
(Native & SQL both databases are supported by Developer toolkit).

In my Case NDT Version is 3.01, so i will be creating database in NAV Version - 6.0 (for Toolkit Database).

2. Create a new company say "Toolkit".

3. Open Object Designer.

4. Import Developer Toolkit Objects from the directory where it is installed.

Default Path - "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\Developers Toolkit\"

5. File Name DevTool.fob.


6. Twenty Objects will get created.

7. Create windows / Database login with super rights in database.

8. Close the database and navision client.

9. Open developer toolkit and open the database created for toolkit.



10. Open Company "Toolkit". (Created in Navision)

We have successfully created toolkit database for Developer toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

In Other post we will see how to import objects in Toolkit database.
