Finally we are ready to present you plug-in for Visual Studio Team System for integration with Team Foundation Server.

What does it do? It is designed to give MS Dynamics NAV developers possibility to use TFS Source Control in one click.

How does it work? It adds two menu items to Source Control context menu that enable you to put selected files or all files in selected folder directly into NAV from TFS Source Control. Or get them from NAV into Source Control.

test

Note: for plug in to work correctly NAV objects must be named in following format: VVVNNN.TXT where VVV – object type (COD for Codeunits, FOR for forms, REP for reports, TAB for tables, XML for XMLports); NNN object number. To not doing this for each object separately you can use command line utility called Separate to separate one TXT file with several objects into individual files named correctly.

Command Line Dynamics NAV (Navision) Object Export Import

3 Comments

Command Line Tool Description

How many times you had to make additional mouse clicks just to do routine work. Especially when you have many objects and you do not want to put each object to separate file.

We’ve created command line tool that enable you to take or put Dynamics NAV (Navision) objects directly from or to opened Dynamics NAV (Navision) database. It works with both MS SQL and Navision Native database options and for any version of the client I’ve tried from 3.7 to 5.0 SP1. To use this tool you would need Navision developer license of course.

Thanks to author of the Søren Nielsen’s blog we can make this tool available.

Think of Your Maturity

When this tool can be very useful? Personally for me was very irritating to perform all these actions each time I had to check-in my changes to source control system. So if your company mature enough to use source control system:), and in this system you can register custom action you can register it there to be able to send or get Object during check-in or check-out. If not then you better start thinking about that quite heavily. Right now we are working on creating nice plug-in for Microsoft Team Foundation Server. This system can really drive your company projects to success and with plug-in for MS Team Foundation Server (expect the separate article about it) to Dynamics NAV (Navision) integration running projects with full control of any possible changes. Move over, this tool can be tuned to use with most of current Source Control systems.

Installation Tips

We are recommending putting our tool into folder that available through Path variable. I’ve just copied it to system32 folder (clumsy but effective ). I’ve also registered as custom action for text files in Explorer to have it to right click menu.

Introduction

Another exciting solution we’d like to share with you is Microsoft Dynamics NAV reports in MS Office Outlook. Which is an easy and nice way to use MS Office Outlook may be operating MS Dynamics NAV reports still working in Outlook. We investigated several possibilities to show the NAV reports in Outlook. Looking through them, we stopped on two options – SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and direct SQL data sources. For this solution we chose the SSRS as all NAV reports are to be converted to use it in very near future with releasing MS Dynamics NAV 6.0.

MS Dynamics NAV Web Services or the History of Innovation

After Microsoft Convergence 2007, we were very interested in the new exciting technology from Microsoft Dynamics – web services.

Our team can even perform some Dynamics NAV logic from MS Office Outlook side.
