Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Beta ready to download!

As Vjeko already announced, the Beta version of the new release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is ready to be downloaded from Partnersource! Even more .. the localised versions for the “Group 1″ countries and the W1 are available (did I already mention I HATE being in Group 2?).

That means: get your *** over to Partnersource, download and start playing with all those great new features in the release! Start debugging, start posting your assemblies, start creating your beautiful queries and use them in Excel PowerPivot with Odata, … . There is a lot to look out for!

Furthermore, you’ll find some documentation on the NAV 2013 Beta download page, like System requirements, Upgrade guide, what’s new, … .

We’re not sure yet if this means that blogging about it is allowed .. we’re still waiting for approval for that.. so I’ll keep this message short for the partners who want to gain more info already .. and, of course, more to come!

NAV Change Listener is not always listening..

Since NAV 2009 RTC, live has become .. let’s say .. more challenging regarding “installations”, isn’t it ;-). There are loads of settings, parameters and configurations you have to get familiar with (Delegation, SPN, SQL Server, Active Directory, Kerberos fluff, …) before you’re even able to get it running. And then .. when you’re completely in euphoria about being able to do so .. sometimes .. it’s with the nose flat against the wall .. Because you notice that all the changes you’re doing in Classic, are not reflected in RTC.

Hey, waldo, I already know the solution of that problem ..

I bet you do. And you should, because there is already quite some info out there to fix it:

The one from the Team Blog is quite complete, and it explains how it works .. very interesting and unnecessary for me to blog again.

I have a feeling you have something to add..

Well, let’s just say, I’m not sure if it was already mentioned by anyone somewhere .. . At least, when I was searching for a solution, the resources I found, were just not giving me any solution. Really, after applying all the stuff that was mentioned in the blogs, I still didn’t find a solution: my listener was enabled, I didn’t get any error in any log, polling in stead of the SQL Broker didn’t work, … . Nope .. my objects changes were not pushed (or pulled) to RTC.

So, what did I do..

Well, I started to watch the Object Tracking table, which is the core table for the Change Listener (for tracking changed objects). And when I saved a new version of the object, the ID in that tabel, wasn’t the highest one in the table :-/ . It was something in between, and then it all makes sense, of course.. .

Is it a bug in classic, or did I do something wrong .. I don’t know. But I do know this:

When removing all records from the “Object Tracking” table (I can’t think of any problems it can cause), and restarting all NST’s, fixed my problem.

I had to do this for about 50 databases, so I wrote some kind of script in SQL Server. May be it’s useful for you:

DECLARE @DBName VARCHAR(50)
DECLARE @SQLString VARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE MyDatabases CURSOR
FOR
select name from
sys.databases
where name not
in
(’master’,'model’,'msdb’,'tempdb’)

OPEN MyDatabases

FETCH
NEXT
FROM MyDatabases INTO @DBName

WHILE
@@FETCH_STATUS
= 0 BEGIN
SET @SQLString = ‘DELETE FROM [’ + @DBName +
‘].[dbo].[Object Tracking]’
print @SQLString

FETCH
NEXT
FROM MyDatabases INTO @DBName
END

This small script is will generate a script (yes indeed..) that you have to execute and which is going to empty the “Object Tracking”-table of all your databases. I could have extended this script to check if it’s a NAV 2009 Database (or a NAV database nevertheless..). I did not do that, so you’ll have to manage that yourself (tip: you could check the “$ndo$dbproperty”-table where you’ll find a field “databaseversionno” which should be greater or equal to “60000″ (first version of NAV2009)). In our case, it just wasn’t worth the effort.

Platform updates overview - 3.70.B - NAV2013

Hi there .. another update of “the list” to start the weekend. Together with the usual platform hotfixes, I added some new interesting links, like these:

Other then that, may be it’s a little bit too soon .. but as Microsoft released the NAV 2013 Launch page, I added the new table for listing the updates as well:-) (although the release seems pretty good .. so may be no platform updates for NAV7..). What can you find on the Launch page?

Getting Ready for MS Dynamics NAV2013: not everything is actually there yet, but you can see what’s going to come .. Some it’s definitely a good idea to check this place once in a while, to stay up-to-date! You can already find recordings about very interesting new features of NAV2013! Check them out!

Overview of Released
Application Hotfixes for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 and R2

�

Notes:

VAT 2010 and other hotfixes or updates that were released for NAV 2009 SP1 are NOT part of NAV 2009 R2. R2 is in fact a SP1 database, with the extra functionality for R2 built in. So SP1 objects were only changed for:
- Online Services for Microsoft Dynamics ERP (US)
- CRM Integration
- System Indicator
Advice: read the upgrade instructions carefully.

Directions EMEA 2012: Final Thoughts

OK, here we go .. . It has been a “ride” to Directions .. both literally as mentally. In only 7 days, I went on a trip by car, taxi, train and plane!

By car to the Alpes with perfect weather conditions:

From Austria, by taxy to the train station, and by train to Rome:

By plane back home, to play Kubbs with my kids just an hour after arriving:

Busy week .. whereof Directions was the busiest time - as it should be.

As stated in my previous blog .. I had two sessions (of which I’m going to blog about separately) .. and this caused quite some stress, I must say. Sometimes I wonder: “why do I keep on doing this??”. After the sessions I always know why :-). This year, I had an extra level of stress though. Just before I had to go on stage to talk about some tools, my PC began to crash just after I took my laptop out of his sleep. I only had 5 minutes before I had to begin. It started to make really funny (although not so funny at that time) notices, and NAV began to crash like hell. I didn’t have the time to completely reset my machine, so I had to improvise - during the session on stage - by using another database on my own pc in stead of the VM I would normally have used.. . So there you go .. I had practiced it about a zillion times on one VM .. and now I had to do it live in a completely different environment. Result: Heart rate at about 180 for about an hour!

I guess all (or most) went fine .. I had a wonderful audience (full room, by the way!) who cared to laugh at some of my jokes, took pictures of the slides , so I guess, some of it was interesting :-). When I have some more time (rebuilding a house really influences the time to blog, I must say..), I’m going to put that session into a blog!

What about Directions in general?

We’re getting used to it, no? This time again, it was a great convention, which is always worth the money and time people invest into it. But that’s what we’re used to, right, from Directions?

You know Rome .. It’s almost perfect as a location. It’s warm, enjoyable, good food, … . So that was going to be a win-win, right?

The convention itself never had so many interesting sessions .. 7 at the same time. For me, this was may be a somewhat disadvantage, because I had to choose .. and I usually can’t choose! My solution to that next year is: inviting more people from iFacto to join Directions! I recommend you to do the same ;-).

Microsoft took the occasion to showcase NAV2013 in the most extended way possible. +30 sessions about NAV2013: new functionality, new features, … everything there was to say about it! But still under NDA, so not able to talk about it too much. Let’s just say: there’s nothing to dislike! :-).

Yet again, great networking possibilities! This year, the expo lasted for the entire day, which gave more value for the expo-people, and more possibilities for us to explore the expo and talk to the people!

So, no issues whatsoever?

Sure! Nobody is perfect - so why wouldn’t there be? But I don’t want to spend my time on it. Bottom line to remember in my opinion: Directions is a fantastic, not-to-miss, convention to go to .. so see you and more people all again next year!

What’s the cloud-message all about?
Did you really have to ask? Let’s just say: “Fuzzy”, in my humble opinion. But as it’s still under NDA .. Let’s keep it for another blogpost!

Directions EMEA 2012

This blogpost comes too late .. and I would like to apologize for that.

As you might have noticed, I’m quite fond of Directions (EMEA and US). Lots of people, all enthusiastic about NAV, making their living of it .. in one place, talking and doing business .. . Great atmosphere, great networking abilities. The fact that I only blog about it just now is too disrespectful :(. The reason is as always: time! I’m guessing we’re all swamped with work .. and i’m not an exception, I’m afraid. Not only at work, but also privately (by rebuilding my house .. and doing most of the work myself..). Anyway ….

Directions EMEA is coming! And fast!

April 25th, over 850 people will gather to attend one of the (if not THE) best conventions regarding Microsoft Dynamics NAV. That means: more than double of last year’s event! That is a confirmation that this convention is just a must-go-to!

But we all go for the content, right? Well, take a seat and read this:

3 keynotes, with big names like Dan Brown and Paul White
+60 sessions (40 sessions about the very new upcoming NAV 2013!)
20 ISV sessions
12 Roundtables
7 Guided Trainings
12 Self learning trainings
… (I’m not sure I’m able to mention this, so I won’t, but I can tell you this: all attendees will get a very exclusive, valuable gift .. and I’m not talking about the lanyards! )

If you’re not registered than you must be wondering: damn .. what was I thinking? [;)]. And I’m afraid you’re not able to change your mind, because the convention is completely sold out!

If you look at the Session Overview, you won’t be surprised that it is sold out.. many good session, a lot to learn, a lot of opportunities to catch up whatever you have to catch up with.

And if you look closely .. then you’ll find my name on it as well [:)]. The Committee has given me the opportunity to speak again for the attendees. This time even two times, and that makes me feel very honored! :-).

TECH 1: Useful tools for getting the most out of NAV

Tools.. . Very interesting and broad topic. And for me, quite a special one, as I’m trying to build some kind of market for our in-house tool. So, I have to make sure this is not going to be (too much) advertising for our tool (and by adding the link to it, makes it already doubtful;-)). What I decided to do, is that I will show you the tools that we use in our company to do, track, monitor, organize, check, … our developments. That will be the main part of the session, and I’m sure (at least surely hope so) that it can bring you ideas on how you could be handling your developments in-house yourself :-). I will not be naming the software that I will be showing now .. for that, you’ll have to attend the session [:)] .. but I promise you, it’s software that is very cheap, very rich, very easy to use and install, .. which usually means .. very interesting! So please join on Wednesday 17:15!

TECH 2: PRS – A Deep Dive into the Core Architecture of NAV 2013

The second TECH-session is one where I’m a co-speaker, together with Mark Brummel and Gary Winter. As you might have read, we’re trying to do something about “development standards” (although that description is far from complete..) with our initiative called “Partner Ready Software“. We have been introducing the concept on NAVTechDays and Directions EMEA. This time, we’ll go one step further, and we’ll go into the NAV 2013 architecture, and go through the do’s and don’ts: how it’s done, what we like, which methods there are and how to handle them, .. let’s say, we’ll talk openly on what we think is PRS-like, and what we think could be changed to have a better framework for the future.

I’m at least very much looking forward to Directions EMEA in Rome! C U all there:-)

Source Control in NAV - iFacto ReVision v1.2.3

I apologize for this piece of advertisement, I’m just too convinced that it can help you :-).

It took us a while .. mainly because it’s soooo busy at iFacto that eats away a lot of ReVision development time .. but it’s here (actually for a few weeks now already - and new builds still coming up …) .. a new version of ReVision. As you probably noticed, I’m not blogging about every update that comes out, but this time I couldn’t resist. I wanted to share a few cool things.. .

Probably Microsoft isn’t aware of this, but NAV 7 pointed us in some directions that is very positive for the long run for our product, but also made us change the deep down framework quite heavily .. . To be short, NAV 7 is much “opener” (may be because it’s a beta, or may be because it just more related to .Net then ever…) then NAV 6 and older .. . Because of this, connecting and debugging ReVision on NAV 7 just gave us much more insight on how we should connect to it, and work with it .. and that made us change some stuff deep down the core, which didn’t only make ReVision much more stable, but also made it completely ready for NAV 7. And yes, I admit, we already have plans for 8 - being completely developed outside of NAV has its advantages :-).

Compare objects with last checked in Version

The compare has already been in it quite some time: compare DEV objects with TEST objects .. Compare default db with custom db .. It has been in there from the start, and it was just a matter of selecting the objects in the object designer of the “left” version, a right mouseclick on the ReVision log in the tray, and select the database of which you want to compare the objects with .. as simple as that. As result, you get a compare window of your favorite compare tool with the objects for you .. . And yes, when changing the objects, you are able to import and compile :-).

What has been added?

Well, we expanded this feature to the moment you would like to Check In your changes - who doesn’t want to look into all changes he has done on the moment he wants to check in? Well, now it’s just a button away: the compare buttons make sure you get a window with a comparison of all objects you want to compare. What did I do today?What did I change to solve this issue? …

Open Client and connect to DEV db from iFacto ReVision

This hasn’t got anything to do with Source Control or anything .. but it was so simple to foresee in the product so that we just did it. You all know the problems: you have “x” number of customers, working on build “y”, that’s installed on SQL Server or a native server, on location “z” … . Lots of parameters, but as a partner, something you have to take a hold on.

What if .. this is managed in a central way, one time, for all your developers and consultants in your company? I’m sure many of you also implemented something like that in your company.

Well, ReVision does it as well .. . We already had all the information in our configuration files, like you see here:

All we had to do, is get to know of all the exe’s that where on your local machine, identify the build, and make it possible to open the client with it.

Now, you can open any client that’s in the repository (which is managed by the administrators …). When someone adds a database to a repository, you will automatically have the link, and you’ll be able to open the client, with the right build and everything.

This is sooooooooooo nice. All I have to do when I start my work: open ReVision, select the repository and double click on the database :-).

Also for RTC Clients?

Sure! RTC clients are very build-aware .. more than classic. It’s possible to store the parameters for the RTC connection in ReVision, so you can open it (even without having that annoying shortcut-message all the time :-)) like this:

NAV is all about simplicity .. so that’s what ReVision should be all about as well :-).

The future looks bright

This is not all .. we have made significant changes to the TFS interop .. Which actually means we opened up a complete box of tools that is available now regarding TFS. Working with TFS workitems really seems something within our limits now .. .. and not only that. Just a few teasers - but more in the future: Mergetool.com Integration,
Mantis Integration, Plugin
abilities, … :-).

2012 MVP Renewal

I’m happy to share that my MVP award has been renewed.. . This, in combination with some very exciting times ahead, is good news for me of course .. and therefor, I would like to say thanks to Microsoft to give me this award and the opportunities that comes with it. :-).

I just can promise that I’ll try to do my best to contribute to the community the same way like I have been doing in the past.

Convergence 2012 Round Up - NAV 2013 is coming!

It’s hard to follow convergence when you’re not actually there .. or you don’t take the time.. . And I didn’t. I have gathered bits and bytes from various resources, rumours, … . Makes me want to go back in time, when I was actually there and shared my experiences . Due to the fact that MVP’s are not invited anymore .. this has become too expensive for me.

Anyway, people are there .. and people seem to be enthusiastic. There are lots of feeds, tweets (#conv12), queets, facebook messages, .. and I must admit .. I hate all the distributed, chaotic “social” media messages. Hard to get really concrete info .. .

I just wanted to share some links with you.

First of all, there is a lot to find on the Dynamics NAV Team Blog. Since the start of Convergence, they’re posting daily updates (kind of like what I did a few years ago) .. which are always nice to read :-). You can read there, for example that NAV7 is now officially called “NAV 2013“. My first reaction was - really?? - do we really want a product name with the number “13″ in it? Yeah, well .. It’s most probably just me .. and it’s not “13″, but “2013″, isn’t it? (but still…).

Already after the first day, you could read this article on the Microsoft News. It showed a possible metro style (cfr. Windows Microsoft Dynamics (of which also Mark blogged about):

I guess that’s still (a far?) future. You’re the one to say if it’s cool or not .. My opinion - I don’t know if we want a new user experience again (i’m not sure everyone is already used to the RTC.. ;°) ).

Most probably, the best resource you’ll have from Convergence, is the “Virtual Convergence“, where you’ll find all the recorded sessions .. . I didn’t check the sessions myself yet, but I’m sure you can find tons of stuff there about the new Dynamics NAV on Azure capabilities, the new NAV 2013 client stuff, the Web Client, … . Tons of interesting things to see .. just make time for it ;-).

As Mark Brummel also stated in his latest blog .. now it’s all out in the open! Customers have seen it, so potentially everyone has seen NAV 7 / 2013 .. so we (community nerds) can share stuff as well .. finally :-). Tons of things to blog about!

So .. stay tuned .. watch the recordings, check out everything that is to check out .. or just sit back and check my blog once-in-a-while ;-). Hope to be part of Convergence next time in New Orleans!

OutOfMemoryException when printing an RDLC report

I have been writing quite some posts lately .. a bit too much “announcements” imho. Let’s provide some content ;°). It’s something we ran into lately, of which I had trouble to find solutions for.. so perfect as a blogpost.

It’s about a possible error when printing an RDLC report. This is the Dutch/English version of the error message - it’s the Englisch part which is most interesting:

It comes down to: “not enough memory .. printing the report has failed .. do something about it!”. When you look at the Task Manager, you’ll see the client’s memory usage raising to a huge amount (+1,5 Gb) .. and eventually result into a crash.

When you start looking for answers, you find posts where people have this problem as well .. with a report of many many pages. We were only printing about 15 invoices in one go .. sometimes only 5 invoices and this error appeared.

First reaction: this is due to customization.
Wrong: also the default report 206 had this problem.

Second reaction: let’s try it out with the latest build.
Result: none

Eh? So what was your solution?

In my case, the problem was the bitmap in table “Company Information”.

If you take into account how a dataset is generated, and how RDLC is using this dataset .. then it all makes sense. Consider this:

You want to print 10 documents
Each document has 10 lines
In our case, each line has about 4 sub lines (like Item Texts for that Invoice line, …).
The size of your picture in your Company information table is 2Mb.
You want to show the picture on your report (logo)

This means:

Roughly taken, you’ll have about 400 lines in your dataset
Each line will have that picture incorperated.

This means:

You’ll have a dataset of 800Mb for an about-20-page (probably less) report.

What if we don’t need that picture?

The picture is the killer (at least in our case). We didn’t even need that picture, so our developer removed it from the RDLC design. But that is not enough! You have to make sure the “CALCFIELDS” doesn’t happen anymore, so the picture is not actually IN that dataset anymore. The easiest way to do that, is your setting in the Sales & Receivables Setup:

No Logo will prevent you for “calculating” the picture (or better: getting that blob out of that field..)! Another way is to remove the code on the report, of course. Personally, I was never a fan of things like that setting .. who takes that setting into account on an actually used report? Document reports are custom for each customer .. so why a general setting for something that needs customization anyway.. .

Don’t know if I make any sense though ;°).

What if we do need that picture?

Well .. just know what you’re doing. There are probably numerous ways to solve it.

For starters: don’t import a high-definition bitmap of multiple megabytes in the Company information. Trust me, your report will look just fine when you downgrade your image a few megabytes.. .

Or try to work around the picture-in-all-lines-of-the-dataset issue. This can be done, you know. Just from the top of my head:

you can split the dataset. Well, not really working with multiple datasets, but still, you can do a similar thing with a simple trick. If you want, I can dedicate a blogpost on that (drop me a comment)
You can work with an embedded picture
… I’m sure there are other neat tricks (also: drop me a comment ;°) ).

Anyway .. hope it’s useful for you!
