Development I: Exam (NAV 40-221 / MB7-221)

Dynavision

Hi,

I passed the Dev I exam today (with 95%) \:D/

On most sections i got between 94% - 100%. My 'major' problem were the 6 questions on ODBC, OCX and Automation, were i got 66%, meaning 2 wrong answers.

One of the questions was, What is the Advantage of C/Front over NODBC? I guessed the speed, C/Front is faster than NODBC, but I'm not sure?

Another question on Automation, ODBC, C/FRONT: Which two things are provided by Navision to Access data and functions from external applications?
I didn't know wheter it was
(A) NODBC and C/FRONT OR
(B) C/ODBC and Automation

I'll try and remember some other questions...

I passed ... \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

The help (and questions) I found on this forum were extremely usefull, for which I'm very gratefull.

These are the 'hardest' questions I could remember.

There was also one question on reporting about SQL server (/Navision DB) and locking. I can't quite recal the question, but it was something about 2 users calling data from the same table in a report. And something about setting the TransactionType property either to Snapshot or Browse. I remembered that this only applied to SQL server, i think the correct answer was Snapshot.

Hello Dynavision,

Thanks a lot for your input!

I'm thinking the answer for question 3 is A (Cust. Journal Line) but I'm not sure at all. If possible, please give me some explainations on your answer? Thanks a bunch!

Hi quiNav,

For this question,

--3-- In which table are Journal Entries made for Sales & Receivables Funtional Area?

(A) Cust. Journal Line
(B) somthing with Cash
(C) Gen. Journal Line
(D) Receivables Journal Line

The answer is not A, because this table contains information about the customer and the journal lines. They ask in which table the journal entries are made, this is in the Gen. Journal Line.

I'm sorry that I can't give more technical details, but it's been a while since i took the exam and I haven't work much in Navision since.

Hi quiNav,

There is no Cust. Journal Line Table in standard Navision.

So it's confirmed that for S&R entries are made in Ge. Journal Line only.

ok bye
