Business Notification: Automatism and creation of own templa

buchhot

Hi there folks!

May anybody got an idea, 'till now I wasn't able to find anything useful on the plenty of Microsoft Info-Files, Fact-Sheets, Documentaries and Demo-Scripts.

I got the Business Notification server to work correctly, but I do not see the big useful feature in it.

The first question is: How can I automate the sending of mails or do I always have to get into BN-Worksheet to get my lines and send it there manually. I can't believe they would call this a feature. Do I maybe need the navision application server to automate this thing?

Can I create my own templates, there are just 6 delivered with the server, but may I want some infos out of a customer-record.
Anybody got an idea how to get this done, or if it is possible even.

Many, many thanks in advance.

Thomas

1) The BN "trigger" can be fired within C/AL code when you wish. You just need to fire the XML Event you defined for the BN message... for example:

    Item.SETRECFILTER;
    ItemXML.SETTABLEVIEW(Item);
    ItemXML."Inventory Status";

Where ItemXML is XMLport "Item"

This will fire the Event "Inventory Status" and will send the XML for Item filtered to actual record...

2) Of course, you can define your own templates. You just need to run "Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision Business Notification" from start menu.
3) You can create your own events by creating XML port and using View - XMLPort Events
