Run an object in the new NAV Dev Env with Alt+R

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…

Change the product name for the Dynamics NAV Web Client

Just a quick note for those who might be wondering because as far as I can see there is no public documentation about it: According to the ISV branding guide, if you are qualified for certain exceptions you can do “Co-Branding” of NAV (and only under those circumstances are you allowed to do this). This…

Converting traditional C/AL code to AL (and finally having “where used”)

On Friday a new update of the new development environment for NAV arrived. A number of new features are described here and the in-client designer improvements are really nice but what most caught my attention was the first release of a tool to convert traditional C/AL code to the new AL code. Let’s see what it can…

Using AD Accounts in containerized NAV and what I learned on the way

Since the first tries to get NAV in a Windows Container up and running I had the problem that compiling table structure changes didn’t work. The dev environment tried to connect to the NAV Server instance to start the sync but always returned with an error message that the Management Service wasn’t available. Here is…

Access a Container through Enter-PSSession

If you’ve worked with Windows Containers, you’ll probably know this, but I have to admit that I didn’t and it really helps to work conveniently with Windows Containers, especially reading and editing files: You can access a Container with Enter-PSSession. It works like this and I learned it from artisticcheese’s GitHub repo: First, install the necessary…

Better restore and less dependencies for containerized NAV (even for the upcoming release)

Again thanks to mainly Jakub Vaňák and a bit of work by myself you can now restore a .bak when your SQL container gets started and we’ve removed the identity framework dll (which isn’t working in a Container anyways). What does this actually mean? If you check the GitHub repo, specifically the docker-compose.configs.yml you now see the…

Use docker-compose to create a NAV and SQL environment with one command

As I wrote in the previous post thanks to Jakub Vaňák it is now possible to create a new Windows/Docker container image with just one command. Jakub kept working on it and now it is also possible to create (or start) a full environment with 1 NAV container and 1 SQL container with just one command! Check…

Create a NAV Windows/Docker container image with one command

I previously wrote about NAV 2017 in a Windows Container where I just managed to get NAV 2017 up and running. Some days ago Jakub Vaňák contacted me with a detail question about that post and told me that he managed to create a Dockerfile for NAV Server instances. What that means (and really kudos to Jakub…

Using the new NAV Dev Environment (VS Code) with Git

The new NAV Dev Environment was made publicly available only a couple of days ago but already the “usual suspects” are blogging about what can be done with it developing for NAV. Something that I immediately wanted to try however was something not directly connected with NAV but more with Visual Studio Code: the integration…

Changing NAV (C/AL) source code through C#

I know the current hype is about the new dev tooling and absolutely rightfully so. Truly exciting stuff. However I guess a lot of us will be at least partly stuck with C/AL and C/SIDE for the foreseeable future, which means you might still be interested with some not-so-exciting stuff about the old world: How to change…

Using 32 and 64bit DLLs in NAV 2017

It seems like a problem of the past, but you can still run into specifically compiled 32 and 64bit dlls. This results in an issue if you still want (or need) to support the 32bit NAV Windows Client. Or at least I thought it would result in a problem but as Arend-Jan Kauffmann (highly recommended blog author…

NAV 2017 on Linux – sort of

After the more and more open way Microsoft works with Linux and Open Source in general in the last couple of years, it probably was only logical to also open the SQL Server strategy up. Still I have to admit that I was quite surprised when the announcement for SQL Server on Linux came. I’ve…

Dynamics NAV 2017 in a Windows Container with Docker

For quite some time now Containers and especially Docker are gaining traction. If you haven’t heard about them, there are a lot of good resources on the internet to help you get started but the idea is to take virtualization one step further. We moved from physical machines to virtual machines to allow more density…

Tooling for database lock and performance monitoring or how NAV 2017 on-prem benefits from Dynamics 365

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…

Connecting to a NAV WebService from JavaScript

I needed to create a HTML / JavaScript frontend for a Dynamics NAV 2013R2 WebService and came across Freddy Kristiansen’s blog post from 2010. It was really helpful and got me started but fortunately especially in JavaScript there was a lot of progress since then and it got easier. I am mainly using the same scenario…
