Dynamics NAV: How To Run Objects From RTC (Role Tailored Client)

In the pre RTC versions of Dynamics NAV it was really simple to run/view objects from the client. Nowadays when we are using RTC it is not quite that simple since by standard we don’t have object designer in RTC (Role Tailored Client). At least yet 🙂

But there is a trick that you can use to achieve this. You need to create a page on the table object. After that add a button that runs the current record. Microsoft described this a couple of years ago in a blog post (How to start any object in Role Tailored Client)

But how about tables and querys?

Dynamics NAV: Field List

The last couple of years I have started to use an new trick to make my everyday life with Dynamics NAV easier.

Usually I have the problems like this:

  • How do I easy see all the locations of a certain field name in the database?
  • How can I quick look up a datatype for a certain field?
  • How can I quick see if a field is a flowfield?
  • How can I search on database fields using captions?

For me the solution became to make a page on the virtual table field (How to: Create a Page to View a Virtual Table).This is real handy when you have an addon table with 355 fields were the captions don’t really match the field names.

Dynamics NAV Language Module: Import All Charts

If you have downloaded a language module to 2013 or 2013 R2 you will have a folder containing all the charts in that language.

The charts in the language module

The problem is that in standard Dynamics NAV you can only import them one by one plus that the function is real crappy!

But don’t worry, I’m going to give you the code to import all of them at the same time.

If you don’t have a language module but instead a cronus databas in another language and want to export all charts from that dabase see the blog post Dynamics NAV: Export All Charts

The principle behind this code is to filter out the files in the folder. For each file, upload it to the server, extract the ID and the name from the filename.
Create a new record, create a outstream to the file and instream to the blob in the record. Copy the outstream to the instream.

Here is the entire code in Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 text format. Copy and paste into a text file and import.

OBJECT Codeunit 93040 Import All Charts
{
 OBJECT-PROPERTIES
 {
 Date=14-09-25;
 Time=23:02:44;
 Modified=Yes;
 Version List=NAVfreak.com;
 }
 PROPERTIES
 {
 OnRun=VAR
 Description@1000000001 : Text;
 ID@1000000000 : Code[20];
 Name@1000000002 : Text;
 BEGIN
 IF NOT CONFIRM('Do you really want import all charts?',FALSE) THEN
 ERROR('');
 ImportAllCharts('C:\temp\');
 MESSAGE('Done');
 END;

 }
 CODE
 {

 PROCEDURE ImportAllCharts@1000000001(Path@1000000000 : Text);
 VAR
 TempTempBlob@1000000011 : TEMPORARY Record 99008535;
 FileList@1000000001 : Record 2000000022;
 Chart@1000000004 : Record 2000000078;
 FileManagement@1000000006 : Codeunit 419;
 TempFile@1000000002 : File;
 NVInStream@1000000010 : InStream;
 Outstream@1000000009 : OutStream;
 Description@1000000008 : Text;
 FileName@1000000005 : Text;
 ToFile@1000000007 : Text[1024];
 ID@1000000003 : Code[20];
 BEGIN
 FileList.SETRANGE(Path,Path);
 FileList.SETRANGE("Is a file",TRUE);
 FileList.SETFILTER(Name,'@*.xml');

 IF NOT FileList.FINDSET THEN
 ERROR('Did not find any files in folder %1',Path);

 REPEAT
 FileName := COPYSTR(FileList.Name,1,STRPOS(FileList.Name,' ')-1) + ',' + COPYSTR(FileList.Name,STRPOS(FileList.Name,' ')+1); //Unmark this if you use my chart exporting code
 ID := SELECTSTR(1,FileName);
 Description := SELECTSTR(2,FileName);
 Description := COPYSTR(Description,1,STRLEN(Description)-4);

 IF NOT Chart.GET(ID) THEN BEGIN
 FileName := FileManagement.UploadFileSilent(Path + '\' + FileList.Name);
 TempFile.OPEN(FileName);
 TempFile.CREATEINSTREAM(NVInStream);

 Chart.INIT;
 Chart.ID := ID;
 Chart.Name := Description;
 Chart.INSERT(TRUE);
 Chart.BLOB.CREATEOUTSTREAM(Outstream);
 COPYSTREAM(Outstream,NVInStream);
 Chart.MODIFY;
 TempFile.CLOSE;
 COMMIT;
 FileManagement.DeleteServerFile(FileName);
 END;
 UNTIL FileList.NEXT = 0;
 END;
