Hello,

I have a MetaData problem
I use a french application over Nav that have a couple of objects that are protected (no source code) :thumbsdown: .

so the question is :
Is it possible for them to compile those object and to send me a FOB and the Metadata in any ways ?
because those objects wont compile since no source and webservices needs the metadata.

Thank y'all

    Sorry, but I have not quite understood the question. If you have the objects in your application already, why do you need them as FOB files? Could you please elaborate on the question?

    My customer has a 5.1 Database and 2009R2 client.
    I need to use webservices so I need to have Metadata.
    The customer has an Nav Addin that have a couple of objects that are protected (no source code available)
    Since the metadata are built during compile and put into a table.
    How can I manage to have correct metadata for those objects? When I receive some new FOB

    Not sure my explanation is clear but don’t better

    I'm sorry, but I still don't understand your request. If you are asking someone to compile some objects and send them to you as a FOB file, then I personally can't help, but I would recommend reaching out directly to a partner local to you with.

    my problem is how to get metadata to work with out been able to compile it.
    the guys that did the dev protected the source code by removing it, so when you import the fob the metadata is not updated.
    is it possible to create correct metadata with a codeUnit or in some other way ?

    THe protection removed the readable part out of the fob. The compiled version is still there in the fob and is used to create the c# file on the server
