Newbie question re: access to C/AL code

edpecyna

Hi,
I recently completed an app. dev course on navision attain 3.70 and am now looking to do some work on a customer's system.

I am able to step through source code in the debugger but cannot seem to access the code through C/AL editor. ](*,) Is this a permission/access restriction or am I doing something incorrectly?

Please be gentle... I am a newbie!

Thanks,
Ed Pecyna

sounds like a License problem. What License are you using? The Customers?

edpecyna

Yes, I am using the license on the customer's server. I am connecting using Terminal Server.

I was told that I would have "complete access" in a test database so I can play in the sandbox without harming anything/anybody.

However, I did notice that there are some forms, etc. where I get a permission error. In the forms I am allowed to edit, I click on F9 for the source code and nothing happens (no msg, nothing).

I guess "complete access" is a variable.

you need a developers license.

maybe complete access ment full DATA access?!

you can modify forms - move fields, add fields, etc But code is a different story.

This wasn't mentioned during your course?

edpecyna

Ah, I sort of suspected that.
No I was not told specifically about any develper's license. From the course outline: "You'll leave this course with the skills and knowledge to perform straightforward Navision customization that does not require the services of a Navision Certified Developer." In the course we covered Tables, Forms, Reports, Dataports and Codeunits.

I assumed (I suppose incorrectly) that since I had the ability to modify tables, forms, reports that that access would include the ability to add/modify source code.

My downfall must be that I'm from a Visual FoxPro background. Either you have the runtime or you have development version. If you have the dev version you have access to everything. There are no granules getting into the ointment.

Complete access probably meant that the login that they have supplied is a SUPER user in their database.

You can check the granules of the license next time you work on their database: Tools -> License information.

Look for the following granules:
7,200 Application Builder
7,300 Solution Developer
7,110 Report & Dataport Designer
7,120 Form Designer
7,130 Table Designer

I'm not saying that you need all the granules, but it will indication what level of access you have as a developer.

Hi Gus,
Missing are the:
7,200 Application Builder
7,300 Solution Developer

The other ones you mentioned are there. I guess this may be my (and therefore, my customer's) problem.

The short time I've been here, I've noticed and appreciated the helpful folks around here. Special thanks to you Gus and to Savatage. =D>
