Business Value - 

Users and developers can get report datasets in XML that they can then use to either archive the data for compliance or integration scenarios, or to troubleshoot the reports during development.

Feature Details - 

  • Similar to the Export dataset to Excel (no layout) capability that was added in 2021 release wave 1, business users and developers can now get report datasets in XML directly from the request page.
  • The Export dataset to XML feature will show up the same place in the request page and will also require the same privileges.

Till Business central 19, when you try to run a report with layout Option available were - 

  • PDF Document
  • Microsoft Word Document
  • Microsoft Excel Document (data only)

With Business Central 20, while trying to run a report with layout new options are added are -

  • PDF Document
  • XML Document
  • Microsoft Word Document
  • Microsoft Excel Document (data only)

 

When you choose new option to export an XML Document, you will end up with xml output like below.

Hope you learn and will be able to utilize this feature as Business Central 20 is available.

After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.
