I have failed my Navision Solutions Development exam today

I will retake the exam next week.
Can anyone share their experience?

Hi everybody!

I've just passed DEV I - C/SIDE Introduction with 98% 8)

There is a way to deal with these exams and be sure to pass everytime. But remember, you have to have a profound knowledge even though some tools can make you pass without reading.

What I did, was to study hard, try every example in the C/SIDE Introduction manual and reading supplemental material as the Application Designers Guide. I studied Properties, Triggers and some functions by printing from the C/SIDE Online refrerence.

A week before the exam I got my hands on a tool, containing 300 questions from the exam. I kept on studing these questions so I made 100 pct scores in every test. That gave me a great foundation of questions I was 100 pct sure I could answer.

When I came to the exam, 80 pct. of the questions were the same as in the tool. The rest were new and I could use my knowledge from studying and thereby pass with 98 pct. What I did after I had answered the 100 questions was to go through every single question like:
1: OK
2: OK
3: Maybe
...
I counted the questions I wasn't 100 pct. sure off, and came to the conclusion that I would pass with 85 pct. I hit the button and ended the exam and passed, but with 98 pct.

Passing the exams doesn't prove that you are a great developper, only that you can memorize a lot of material.

The tool:
http://www.pass4sure.com/cat.asp?catid=188
It cost around 100 $, and they give you a new tool for another exam, like Financial Mngt. if you don't pass the first time.

[ MB7-255 ]Navision 4.0 Costing
[ MB7-225 ]Navision 4.0 Financials
[ MB7-232 ]Navision 4.0 Service Management
[ MB7-231 ]Navision 4.0 Relationship Management
[ MB7-226 ]Navision 4.0 Installation & Configuration
[ MB7-224 ]Navision 4.0 Manufacturing
[ MB7-223 ]Navision 4.0 Warehouse Management
[ MB7-222 ]Navision 4.0 C/SIDE Solution Development
[ MB7-221 ]Navision 4.0 C/SIDE Introduction

Remember, study hard, study the questions and you are almost certain that you'll pass!

Hope it can help you guys.

I'm heading for the C/SIDE Solution Devlopment :twisted:

I'm going to get Dev II exam. Does this exam contain questions related to the "Seminar Environment " in the manual? Or are there only some Deeper Knowledge Questions on subjects similar to Dev I?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Balello
Dev II exam contains nothing about that "Seminar Environment". I studied Microsoft's official preparation book but failed at my first try. I suggest you not to rely on that useless metarial (for examination). Questions quoted on that forum will be valuable but try to find c/al development manual somewhere.

Cem_Karaer · 2006-06-12

What can be determined from the following code
CustProcessCode.Update(Customer)

a) A variable has been declared with the name of CustProcessCode, the variable refers to the complex variable, and the object referred to contains a function named Update
b) The customer table will be updated if the command is executed
c) The customer table has a function named Update
d) A variable named CustProcessCode has been declared with a subtype of CodeUnit, and has a function which updates the Customer table.

I think (a)

Balello · 2006-06-12

Cemkaraer, I think you're right. That's all.

Cem_Karaer · 2006-06-13

Which of the following would NOT be a valid reason to apply grouping in a Microsoft Navision report?

a) To cause the report to print a new page for each Salesperson when printing a list of Customers.
b) To print a subtotal of the Balance field for each Salesperson when printing a list of Customers.
c) To cause two or more Customer reports to print simultaneously for each Salesperson.
d) To cause the report to print a sub-heading each time the Salesperson code changes when printing a list of Customers.

I think (c)

Cem_Karaer · 2006-06-13

What is meant by optimistic concurrency?

a) It means that we lock the table as soon as possible to ensure that we will be able to make our change.
b) It means that we lock the record as soon as possible to ensure that we will be able to make our change.
c) It means that we do not lock the record before we read it for an update
d) It means that we don't lock the records at all hoping that no changes will be made at the same time because of our efficient use of filters.

I think (c)

Right, it's C

What is meant by optimistic concurrency?

I think answer is a). In optimistic concurrency you have table locked, so other users cannot make change to that table.... You can do it without your company performance lost only if you think that it's rare that two users want to write on same tables together.

I think it is "d) It means that we don't lock the records at all hoping that no changes will be made at the same time because of our efficient use of filters.
"
This because it is better to lock as late as possible and only when needed because locking costs performance.
So we read the record, but don't lock it. But only when we arrive at the point it needs to be changed we lock it (by a MODIFY). In this case we hope it hasn't been changed yet. This is needed because if we MODIFY it in the beginning, in a Navision DB, the whole table is locked (blocking other users).

Balello · 2006-06-14

Every time I see these questions I wonder why they ask in a such a "strange" way that every answer is true.... depending to the way you look at it.

However I think that it's not "d":
1) It speaks about records (in navision optimistic concurrence you lock tables)
2) Efficient use of filters doesn't alter the "locking"

We must think to VERSIONING to understand this:
2 USERS and 1 Table

User 1 start a transaction on the table: Version A
User 2 start a transaction on the same table: Version A

User 1 makes a change on the table (or lock the table ) --> Local Version B
User 2 makes a change to the table (or lock the table) --> Local Version C

Version C > version B: error when commit and Version committed is User 1 Local Version B that became the actual Version.

So the table is locked for user 2. This doesn't mean that the user 2 can't read the data, but that can't CHANGE the data. To ensure that we'll "win" when trying to change the data we must Lock the table as soon as possible. But, of course, it's not a good programming......

I passed Navision Development (II) at first try!!!! (90%).

I want to thanks KRIKI for his training over last 2 years!

I wish he was recognized as MVP.....

And you all, of course.

Hi All,

I just passed the DevII exam (NA 40-222) with 82 marks Thanks GOD.

Thanks for every one in this forum.Last time I failed the exam.After that I found this forum.

This is realy helped to me.The way they discuss the questions are very good.

I am going to sit Dev I exam next Monday I will write some questions for who not sit Dev II yet.

1) What execute first in the Report wich has Requset Form?
a) OnPreReport
b) OnOpen form<<
c)
d)

There was not OnInitReport if it was there answer should be OnInitReport

2) There is report with Customer & Cust. Leg Entry,Cust Ledg. Entry is indented and linked with Customer.what will happen if we put CurrReport.SKIP in OnafterGetRecord of Cust. Ledg. Entry?
There is another Question with same condition put CurrReport.BREAK on OnAfterGetRecord of Cust. Ledg. Entry?

CurrReport.SKIP - print the next Record of Cust. Ledg. Entry
CurrReport.REAK - print the next Record of Customer

3) Record.SETPERMISSIONFILTER;
Record.FIND('-');

a) allow set filter on customer table and get first rcord
b) set secuity filter and get first record of the Record set.<<

There were lot of questions wich from upgrade and SKIP,BREAK,QUIT on report.

I'll try to send some more questions later.

Thanks

Anyone has an idea about these questions?

1. Which of the following would NOT be true if the following line of code was placed in the OnAfterGetRecord trigger of a report dataitem where DataItemTable property is set to Item?

CALCFIELDS(Picture)

a)A PictureBox control contained in a section of the report with the SourceExpr property set to Picture would print the image contained in the Picture field.
b)The report would execute normally, even if the Picture field was empty
c)The total number of pictures in the table would be returned
d)The command would execute once for each record in the item table

2. Assuming that the variable WordApp has been defined with a Data Type of Automation, what would be the purpose of the following code?

IF ISCLEAR(WordApp) THEN
CREATE(WordApp);

a)WordApp would be cleared
b)The Word application would be created
c)If there is no display for WordApp, then one will be created
d)WordApp would be instantiated, if that had not been done already

Howdy, Stranger!
