Hi all, I was just thinking that there should an way that when we start an different RTC Client that is not installed in machine, we should not get an error. If you haven't read the post how to do it then go to the link . Why it happens - Role Tailored Client try's to pull up the last service that have been used successfully to connect. As in earlier post we created multiple services for multiple versions and every service is running. So how the RTC client will figure out which service to run when we click on shortcut of a particular version RTC.

Hi all, Sometime while trying to connect database in classic client with windows authentication or connect to Role Tailored Client we face an error message. Error - The following ODBC error occurred: Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Cannot generate SSPI context  State ID: HY000

Hi all, I did some changes in the pages & Reports During run time and save the view.Now i wanted to revert those changes to the standard Navision settings. In Microsoft Dynamics Navision Classic Client we can do this by deleting the zup file as this file store all the personalization settings.But what about the Role tailored Client? For Role Tailored Client there are two ways to do it - 1) Delete the PersonalizationStore.xml. This file is located at \Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV.This file is used to store all user changes like resizing the columns in the pages. You can delete this file, If you want to roll back all the changes. The Problem with Way 1 is that it will delete all your settings, what if if you dont want to delete all personalization settings but selective setting. Here is the another way. 2) Go to Object designer, & Run Table 2000000080 Page Data Personalization. This table contain a record for each personalizati

Hi all, If we don't follow the installation & configuration of NAS properly we find a most common error. The Event Viewer Shows it as Event Type: Error Event Source: Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 3/13/2012 Time: 4:43:21 PM User: N/A Computer: XYZ

Hi all, While trying to install NAV Application Server(NAS), i faced lots of challenges. So i thought to prepare a How to install NAS. Remember some Points before you start - 1) NAS Require a Windows Login to start. This is because it is a service and it is not possible to define a database login in a service. So you need to create a login in the domain or on the server to do it. 2) SYSADMIN Rights to Windows Login in SQL Server. Now you have your Windows login, but this login has NO rights yet in SQL-server. So you need to create that Windows-login in SQL-server and make him sysadmin. See the manual on how to do that in SQL.

Hi all, As a Navision developers I have Multiple Versions of Navision running in single Machine. As discussed Earlier in the post how to run multiple Version of RTC in single machine. So my machine have following details for RTC Versions - NAV 2009 R2    - is installed. NAV 2009 SP1  - is copied at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\NAV 6.0 SP1 IN\ NAV 2009         - is copied at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\NAV 6.0 IN\ This approach has been working great for execution of Classic and RTC Clients. However, after installing Dynamics NAV 2009 R2, if i tried to view the Layout for an NAV 2009 SP1 Report i was getting the following error: ---------------------------  Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic  ---------------------------  It is not possible to instantiate  the Visual Studio bridge.  ---------------------------  OK    --------------------------- After searching for the error i figured out the issue was due to - Design change in NA

Hi all, Sometime we face the error while trying to connect or change company in Role Center Client. Metadata for object of type Table with id 20000000xx is in a failed state.

For Visible objects you can compile the object and the metadata will be

Hi all, Microsoft SQL Server has an import and export wizard that assists you in copying Navision data from one database to another. This import and export wizard is available in any version of SQL Server, and it lets you copy tables, data, functions and other database objects. This is beneficial when you want to move your Navision data to a faster server for better querying performance.

Hi all, Today i came across a different type of query,where my client who is using Navision 2009 R2 RTC Client. He wanted to only Role specific jobs to all his users. Yeah we have a hotfix for the same which can hide department button from the Role Center page and user can only see the task that he need to perform. * Detail of the hotfix for hiding department from RTC can be found in this post . But the query was that he don't want to hide the whole department button from the role center page. What he wanted that Users other than finance and Administration can only see all other department than these two. He only wanted to hide Administration and Finance Menu from Department. Unfortunately microsoft have no hotfix for the issue, so i created a suggestion for the same at Microsoft connect. If you think that this is importany than vote for it here . We will find it in new release of navision. But while exploring this option i figured out that if the user wants to hi

Hi all, Most of time we heard that this problem in navision can be resolved by deleting ZUP file, lets see what is it and where it is stored. What is ZUP file? The Dynamics NAV ZUP file is used to store the user setup and preferences for the current session so that they are "remembered" for the next session. What operations can be performed on ZUP file? The ZUP file can not be edited but it can be deleted. Where ZUP file is stored in windows XP or windows 7 ? In Windows XP, zup file is stored in - C:\Documents and Settings\ username \Application Data. In Windows 7, zup file is stored in - C:\Users\ Username \AppData\Roaming. Thanks & Regards, Saurav Dhyani http://saurav-nav.blogspot.com/

Hi all, Instead of placing the actions in the standard categories like New, Process and Report, you can also place your action to your own categories. The following steps will show the process with an example: 1) In the object designer, design the page 30 Item Card. 2) Move to the last blank line in the page. 3) Go to the Actions using View Actions. 4) Go to the properties of the Action you want to move to the new Category.     Change the following properties:           Promoted to Yes           PromotedCategory to Category4 .           *Category 4 to 10 are available in the NAV 2009 SP1, other than the standard categories like New, Report and Report.           PromotedIsBig to Yes/No(as required) 5) Go to the Page properties and change the PromotedActionCategoriesML property value like below:      ENU=New,Process,Report,New Category First three values should be same like New, Process, Report and from there you can give your own name. If you change these values s

Hi all, As promised in earlier post    that I will try to figure out the way to run classic report from Role Tailored client which is not installed on my machine. One of my post  I explained that from where Role Tailored client find the path of classic client, I am just using that. My machines have NAV 2009 SP1 Installed. I went to registry editor (regedit.exe) to find the key where the information of classic client in stored. As you can see in the screen shot above (FOR WIN 7) that the information about classic client is stored in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\App Paths\finsql.exe Go to File & select Export and save the registry file on desktop with Name say NAV Classic for NAV 2009 SP1. Now open the file in notepad. The selected line shows the path of finsql that need to start when we execute a report whose RTC Layout is not created. Let’s change the file and make changes for other

Hi all, After Microsoft Released NAV 2009 Three Tier Architecture, we find issues while testing RTC on a version which is not installed. Most of us uninstall current version and install the required version just for testing purpose. I thought of creating multiple services for NAV 2009, NAV 2009 SP1 and NAV 2009 R2 in same machine with diffrent port numbers, so that we can run RTC also whenever required. My Machine have NAV 2009 SP1 installed and i copied the Classic, Service and RoleTailored Client folder on my C Drive for Other two Versions. I have created two Folders NAV2009 & NAV2009R2 inside "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60". For Creating Service for NAV 2009 i used the command- SC CREATE MicrosoftDynamicsNAV2009 binpath= "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\NAV2009\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe" start= auto obj= "NT Authority\NetworkService" type= own For Creating Service for NAV 2009
