See C/AL table changes in AL

idonav

Hi,

Let's play with the thought that I have a table change made in C/AL, that I need to access from A/L. How would I do this?

My experience is that sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't.

Steps:

New AL project.
Download Symbols from Service.
Able to see table changes in A/L.

Again, sometimes it works, but sometimes VS code looses track of the field, and the extension won't compile.

Any suggestions or experiences?

When you change the table in C/Side you have to generate symbol:

Then you can acces all of the new fields and functions.

I've generated the symbols after my table changes, though, the error persists:

"The source of a Column or Filter must be a field defined on the table referenced by its parent DataItem [AL0345]"

Again, sometimes it works, (randomly), but most times it just displays the above error.

Added information: Running NAV 2018.

OK so I've tried running finsql.exe using generatesymbolreference=yes and half of the time it works, half of the time it doesn't Could there be some kind of delay?

It sounds weird, I work on multiple NAV 2018 installations, and I have not seen it before.
How is your service tier configured?
