Considering the big news today, this is only a small nugget of information but as I wasted a couple of hours trying to find out what goes wrong, I still wanted to share it: Connecting a BC or NAV container against a SQL Server running outside of that container is pretty easy, you just need…

If you are like us at Axians Infoma and can’t make the transition of your on-premises solution from C/AL to AL with a single snap of your fingers, you may want to use hybrid deployments as a first step. This means shipping your standard C/AL solution and publishing dependent extensions on top of that to…

Have you ever tried to export the errors and warnings from VS Code? It turns out that - if I didn't miss anything - it is not possible, but actually quite easy to implement. The TL;DR Install my extension in VS Code and run "ALRunner: Export diagnostics". This will create a file called "diagnostics.csv" which…

When you want to get started with using NAV/BC containers and have an Azure subscription, then the very easy route is to just use one of Microsoft's quickstart ARM templates like http://aka.ms/getbc. This will create a VM on Azure with Docker, one pre-defined container, navcontainerhelper, VS Code and all the bells and whistles you might…

I recently encountered a somewhat unexpected behavior of the NAV / Business Central Service Tier when running multiple instances connected to the same database. It sometimes happens that our heavily code customized solution behaves differently than a standard Cronus database, so I decided to try to repro in a standard out-of-the-box environment. Of course I…

Windows authentication in Docker containers is kind of a tricky subject and while containers in general are gaining momentum every day, containers on Windows are having a somewhat less steep increase and Windows authentication in that context is the niche in a niche. Still, that topic matters if you have users depending on Windows authentication…

One of the requirements of publishing a Business Central app (extension V2) into AppSource is an automated test package. That obviously makes a lot of sense but how to get there is not an entirely clear path. Microsoft shares their example code and some guidelines here but creating the test code is only half of…

A couple of features and concepts in Business Central and AL are clearly inspired by Microsoft now being a hoster and providing a SaaS solution. That in itself makes more then sense and as I have written a couple of times now, from my point of view all decisions made and directions taken are quite…

As you probably know there is a very nice NAV App for iOS (and Android). For very good reasons this App however only connects to NAV WebClients secured by https. This is no problem using a NAV Container as it will by default also serve an https-secured WebClient. However if you don't use an official…

Part of the appeal of Docker as part of a CI/CD pipeline is the idea that you have identical dev, test, qa and prod images or at least as close as possible to identical. However there are drawbacks to that approach as building software often requires more libraries and tools than running it (often called…

I usually write about specific technical problems and their solution but this will be a more general post. I was at Directions NA this year and saw the excitement - though not in a positive way - that the opening keynote generated. To be completely honest I wasn't listening too closely as because of sheer…

When you get used to it, working with the CLI for Docker / Windows Containers is quite easy but having a GUI is more convenient, especially for newcomers. A very good GUI for Docker / Windows Containers is Portainer, which is free and you can get services and support from the company behind it. I…

One of the very few things I really like in C/SIDE and kind of miss in the new NAV Dev Env is the ability to just run an object with Alt+R. In the new NAV Dev Env a.k.a. VS Code this isn’t possible but instead you can enter one object (page or pageextension) in the…

While Microsoft can’t state more explicitly and loudly that they have an and strategy (meaning Dynamics 365 and Dynamics NAV on-prem) there are still rumors and concerns about the future of NAV on-prem. From my personal point of view I don’t see at all why Microsoft would risk their huge customer base of approx. 100.000…
