Help! Technical Upgrade NAV 4 SP3 for Web Services

Member Posts: 34
Hi guys,
I have read through quite a number of discussions on the issue and followed this guide:
https://community.dynamics.com/blogs/na ... -2009.aspx
My goal is to do an exe upgrade from a 403 database to a 2009SP1 install for the sole purpose of using Codeunits and Pages for Web Services. Here is what I've been up to:
For testing purposes I started with a Cronus 403 database.
I imported the Web Service form and all Pages from a Cronus 2009 SP1 database.
Used the Transformation tool and followed this MSDN walkthrough (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd338789.aspx) to transform some forms (including Sales Order, Customer Card, Contact Card) into pages. The pages had some issues when compiling with NAV not liking some links in LookupFormID fields and the like. For the purpose of my testing I just removed the links to allow the Pages to compile.
Once I had the objects compiling I could expose the Contact page as a Web Service and connect to the API using Web References in VS.
I coded a small program to create a new Contact. VS compiles and everything was looking good until I received this error thrown from the Create() function:
Note: this error message looks much better in Notepad with Word Wrap turned off.
I compiled the CodeUnit 5072, compiled my Tables, Pages and Forms that would compile (some would not but were all to do with EMail and looked unrelated to the Contact Card - "Could not load the selected type library.").
I have cleared the rows in the Object Tracker table and stopped/started the NAV Service but alas the error continues to be thrown. There are no files in the c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer\assembly folder but the Codeunit5072.cs file is in the source folder.
Are there any other steps needed to successfully consume an exposed Page in this scenario?

we have 4.0 db with 2009 exe with webservices

Yes I have enabled that. Was going to include it in my description but it would open the floodgates to all the other little bits and pieces I've done along the way - and the last thing I want is for you all to read a wall of text
Is your 4.0 db with 2009 exe including the Page objects from 2009SP1? Or did you do a Transformation to utilise the pages?
We can also run the pages and see them in RTC.
We had to create a blank Role Center page and copy the 10K rane menuesuites from 2009 into 4.0 db.

Still a bit confused on why I'm getting the error in my original post, though. From what I've read the WebServices should be working the way they are.
It looks like CU 5072 is outlook Application Management that synchronizes contacts.
You'll need to change your code to not call it when called through webservice.

I temporarily commented out the code relating to the CU from the Contact table and the Web Service request is working as intended now!
Regarding "changing the code" to work differently when called from a Web Service:
I have been looking for a function that will identify the caller object, so I can test - but have been unfruitful so far.
Do you recommend a method to get this done?
Thanks and best regards!
