Deepankar1982

Hi,
I want to generate an information message at a specific time so i am using "Navision Timer 1.0'.Timer" automation and to test it i have added the bellow given code on a newly created Codeunit but as per my expectation it's not working so, can anyone help me out & say where i am doing wrong :roll: ...


IF ISCLEAR(NavTim) THEN
CREATE(NavTim);

NavTim.Interval:=10000;
NavTim.Enabled:=TRUE;

Event :NavTim::Timer(Milliseconds:Integer)
Message('Hi');

Hi,

Did you already set the SingleInstance property of the codeunit to Yes?

Deepankar1982

Yes, i did that after going to "Properties" from "View" & thanks for ur quick response.

When you make change to a single instance codeunit you will have to restart NAV (or reopen the company).

Deepankar1982

I am afraid to say that, i did that too ...and yes, i am using Navision 2009 Classic Client.

Strange... :-k

Can you please export your codeunit in textformat and post it here.

Deepankar1982

Sure Why not....

OBJECT Codeunit 50021 Nav_Timer
{
OBJECT-PROPERTIES
{
Date=07/27/09;
Time=[ 2:52:06 PM];
Modified=Yes;
Version List=;
}
PROPERTIES
{
SingleInstance=Yes;
OnRun=BEGIN
IF ISCLEAR(NavTim) THEN
CREATE(NavTim);

NavTim.Interval:=6000;
NavTim.Enabled:=TRUE;
END;

}
CODE
{
VAR
NavTim@1000000000 : Automation "{3B311C81-140E-11D5-8B18-00D0590B4EC5} 1.0:{3B311C92-140E-11D5-8B18-00D0590B4EC5}:'Navision Timer 1.0'.Timer" WITHEVENTS;

EVENT NavTim@1000000000::Timer@1(Milliseconds@1000000000 : Integer);
BEGIN
MESSAGE('hi');
END;

EVENT NavTim@1000000000::TimerError@2(ErrorString@1000000000 : Text[1024]);
BEGIN
MESSAGE('hi');
END;

BEGIN
END.
}
}

Sorry, I am out of options.
The codeunit is working fine in my database...

The NTimer is not working properly when the Business Notification server is installed on the same machine. May be this is the problem...

Deepankar1982

Oh ! It's really :-# then i also have no words to frame it ....rather than ](*,) ...lets see, thanks a ton.

Deepankar1982

No, i didn't install business Notification server in my local System....but it's really frowning to me the way it's behaving, u wouldn't believe it's still not working .....

1) How did you run the codeunit?
2) Have you some other error during this process?
3) Check your event log for any error

If you do something like this:

CODEUNIT.RUN(CODEUNIT::"Nav_Timer");
WHILE TRUE DO BEGIN
  // do something
END;

The timer will never be triggered.
In will only be triggered if NAV is waiting for input.

So, in the NAS, you need to launch the codeunit and then NAV has to go to the end of the function and stop doing something.

Yessss, it has been Done at last :whistle: Thanks people 4 ur kind & quick support... =D>

And what was the problem (and the solution)?

Deepankar1982

My that piece of code was not running i think due to some NAS error so, i repaired it after running the Navision Setup and after that it worked ..... \:D/
