hello guys, sorry,
but what is the functional area with more master tables? any idea?
thanks, bye jpm

I think it is fix asset functional area, in fix asset function area, there are two master tables, one is fix asset, the other is insurance.

A: a submit is implicitly called after the modify

10: How to implement optimistic concurrency (I dn’t remember the server type) ?

A: Set a maximum of filters. The server will lock the table (implicit) during the update
B: Set a maximum of filters and explicitly call the LOCKTABLE
C lock table when you read and you are sure that after you will do an update
D

i think that :
9)a
10)b i think so because we must lock EXPLICITLY the table with statement LOCKTABLE(TRUE,TRUE). so A is not correct, and also C is not correct because we don't lock a table when we read...but only just before we make an update.

guys, what do you think about them?
thanks, bye

Based on my answers and yours, I have the following questions:
45. I think it's H, but is it true that default dimension is not used? I was thinking about H or G
44. Why do you choose D instead of C? What is the effect of save the record? I thought it is already saved when you copy?
41. If it is a tricky question, the question might be D, but in normal condition, subform always contains a tablebox
37. What is the description of choice B?
23. I only know that it only saves the difference between the level below the current.
20. Which is faster? using SETRANGE OR SETFILTER? I cannot find any resources about performance
14. Is there any statement from Navision about this? (whether it is a must or an option) I have not seen a subform without a tablebox. Is it applicable(a subform without tablebox) to real life application?
10. difference between method and function??

kampret

about the optimistic concurrency:

LOCKTABLE (from the C/SIDE Reference GUIDE)
Use this function to lock a C/SIDE table to protect it from write transactions that conflict with each other.

Because all write operations automatically lock the table in use, LOCKTABLE would appear unnecessary. Imagine, however, a transaction in which an application wants to inspect data and then only possibly change it, with a guarantee that the data being changed has not been modified by other applications since the read. The solution is to explicitly lock the table before the read operation. This makes sure no other application makes changes between the read and the possible write.


Based on the description above, the answer is A?

Lorenjans-free

Thanks kampret!
These are my observations about the questions:

10. During the exam I thought about it too. At the end, I think there isn't any difference.
14. You're right, in the real life application it isn't applicable using a subform without a tablebox, however in Navision you can make it, right?! The doubt remain about the choice..
17. About this question I remember there was also another answer: put the data in variable and then write code to read the first 50 char. Well I have a doubt if the right answer is this that I have just written or "write code in dataport to convert". I think the right answer is "put the data in variable and then write code to read the first 50 char".
23. You're right. I have made a mistake.
28. I think it is the D because with the B you skip the record but don't assigned the value that you retrived from the first record.
36. Sorry but I have forgot a "little" detail: it talk about the journal table
37. It talk about inserting a function at table level. B is the right answer, infact I have found in the Development Manual 3.70 (chapter Posting Routines) an example: EmptyLine function.
38. Why B and not A?
41. Sorry, but also here I have make a mistake. The right question is: In a subform, what CANNOT you insert in it?..So the right answer is D, because I have tried and you can't.
43. Well, I know that you cannot change the value of label at runtime.
44. The difference is that in the C answer you check the data because you save it, in D no. The question says data are already verified.. so I say D instead C, but could be wrong.
45. I have found a little material about Dimension. From this I have understood you must know the flow. In this case you're inserting data in a document. So probably I'm wrong and correct answer is G.Could anyone else resolve this doubt?

Thanks again kampret, you're giving me a great aid!

hello!
thanks kampret!
well...
14) in application design guide 4.0 i have found this: "Typically a subform is a tabular form, that is, a form with a table box"..then i say that the answer is "usually".
41) i have found the question..i think that the question is: what you can NOT INSERT in it? i have made a test, and i have got an error:"you can NOT insert a subform in a subform". well, D is the correct answer.
44) manual development 3.60 chapter 6 data conversion: i have found this: "2) What is the status of the customer's existing data?
If the data is missing a lot of information needed by Navision, if it is corrupted, or in some other way not reliable, you will be forced to import and store the information into the Journal. This will allow the customer to fill in the missing data and fix the inaccurate data before posting. However, if the customer's data is in good shape, this should not be
necessary." .
So, i think that if data are GOOD is not necessary save it in journal.
45) probably the correct answer is DEFAULT+DOCUMENT...
46) i have found this question, and you must select a multiple answer, as n°45. i have selected JOURNAL DIMENSION+LEDGER DIMENSION.

montoya

wow!!
great lrj e kampret!!
well...question about locktable...i think is B, becauze answer A says implicit locktable...instead answer B says explicit.
jpm

Lorenjans-free

Hello again kampret.

Why A? Should be B, then..
However I have read the manual Development Solution and it talk about Optimistic concurency. It says to implement it you must call LOCKTABLE(TRUE,TRUE), but the problem is that the exam question talk only LOCKTABLE without parameters (important the second because it handles the versioning-->optimistic concurency).what do you think about it?
LRJ

kampret

guys, thx for the reply. i am glad that i am preparing the exam not alone :-)

about the locktable:
i have these 3 situations:

1. Without LOCKTABLE (implicitly)
GET;
do some process
UPDATE;
2.LOCKTABLE(TRUE, FALSE) --> explicit
LOCKTABLE;
GET;
UPDATE;
3.LOCKTABLE(TRUE, TRUE) --> explicit


Situation 1: if the record that we process is modified by other person, then that changes(made by other) are not saved.

Situation 2: the record that we modify cannot be changed by others. BUT, it doesn't match with the optimistic concurrency requirement.

Situation 3: same as situation 1, but the system will generate an error(if the record is modified by other) instead of just save the record.

The most accurate answer I think is situation 3 (using LOCKTABLE(TRUE, TRUE)).
BUT, LOCKTABLE is only used in a Transaction. If not in a transaction or you assume that the time difference between the GET and UPDATE is not significant, I think you can just UPDATE the record, without have to call LOCKTABLE.

I choose A instead of B because the question does not tell us whether we are in a transaction or not. If the question tells us more detail about the situation, I would choose LOCKTABLE(TRUE, TRUE)

kampret

about question 17.
could anyone show me in detail how to implement it? (use a temporary variable and read the first 50 chars from the variable).
is it written for the trigger dataport or table trigger?

thx

kampret

stupid question:
When does the journal table gets inserted? is it when we insert a sales order or when we post the sales order?

I tried the case study (seminar registration), but my seminar journal table is always empty. my seminar ledger entry however, gets populated when I post the seminar registration.

Lorenjans-free

hello kampret!
about question 17.

code:

FOR i := 1 TO 50 DO
BEGIN
table.textdst:=text;
END;

with table.textdst: text of 50 and text: text of 80

you can insert this code in OnAfterImportRecord and you can make the data conversion and import

Anybody know about this one?

Customer wants to buy Navision, but they demonstrated a prior release and some customer add-ons. They now are aware that the latest release has many of the add-ons they wanted, so they want to install the latest version. How do you setup the database?

Hello. I will take the NA 40-221 - C/Side Introduction Exam / Navision Programming / Development I exam in two weeks.

I'd like to know if the questions posted until now in this forum are showing the general level of difficulty of the exam. All the questions in the exam are similar as difficulty with these ones? Or the questions posted here are the most difficult ones, those who created problems for you?

I just try to figure it out if i have some chances or not...

Thanks a lot...

Hi,
Which of the following form control would you use to display subsidiary information on the form.

1. Subform
2. Textbox
3. Tablebox
4. Matrixbox

Could any one reply answer for this question?

Thanks in advance...

Regards
Narayanan.

kenl

Reply to narayanan,

Which of the following form control would you use to display subsidiary information on the form

The answer should be 2: TableBox.

Example of subsidiary tables would be "Item cross-reference table".

Hope this help.

great lorenjans!!
thanks you very much!!
now, for all comunity...some question that i remember:

flowcalc
calcflow

2)what is true about c/al:
all object have c/al
is used in "event" area
is a c# language
...

3) how you can run modally a only batch report while middle a transaction:
request form not exist
request form in run modally
report has already data
report has already been run once

4) you want to create a mail-merge with MS word. what do you do?
use automation from navision to word
use automation from word to navision
use odbc
use c/odbc

5) what you use for exit from ONAFTERGETRECORD in a report for NOT skipp actually record and the other
skip
break
quit
exit
