I just tried the table wizard: there's a problem because it creates a description field of text100 and a search description field of lenght 30, thus, we can have an overflow error :-k

Werner_Erben · 2011-03-04

I have changed from "OM 6.01 light" OM 7.01. Unfortunately, the client now crashes completely when I do : "Update C/AL History" . I use XP SP3. I think this is due to the new DLL. Can someone help?

Werner_Erben · 2011-03-04

Another problem is: When I used the OM, I can't use F4 in NAV and the C/AL-Compiler does not show any error messages anymore. He still jumps to the wrong place, but no error is displayed. Only a reboot of NAV then helps. I have the problem I with OM 6.01 and NAV 5.0 SP1 Nativ Client.
Has anyone else this problem?

Hi Werner,

This usually happens when you have an NAV2009 object in a NAV5.0 database.
Then all messages and confirms are blocked until you restart NAV.

This also explains why NAV crashes when you try to execute something of the Object Manager.

Werner_Erben · 2011-03-05

Hi Reijer,

manny thanks for this very fast help.
This was exactly the reason for my two problems with the OM.
I like the OM very much. It's a great tool !!!

Best regards

Hi Reijer,

there is a little problem with the upgrade from 6.01 to 7.01 (NAV 4.00). When i run Cu 11102064 Step 3 an error like :

"A type conversion from BLOB to BLOB is not possible"

occurs.

Best Regards
Werner Erben

Werner_Erben · 2011-03-05

Hi Reijer,

now I've got a special problem. I've got a database (NAV 4.0 SP1) with some Entries in System Tables in the range from 2000000069 to 2000000080. It's impossible to delete them, but they make some big trouble in Codeunit 11102045 .

Would you please create a version of the code unit for me, witch skip the "update virtual tables ()"-code.

That would be great.

Thanks
Werner Erben

Hi Werner,

Is it an sql or a c/side database?

What kind of problem/trouble.
Do you get an error message?

Werner_Erben · 2011-03-07

Hi Reijer,

the problem with the type conversion is a nativ DB in 4.00 SP1 and the same problem in 3.70.

The error message in the DB with the wrong Entrys in system-tables is in the file attached.

Best regards
Werner Erben

reijermolenaar · 2011-03-07

Hi Werner,

There are some posts on the forum about this STX error. Maybe you can fix it by merging a newer STX file in yours. But you also can skip the virtual tables by slashing out the code line “// UpdateVirtualTables;”

I will get back to you on the upgrade function in combination NAV4.0.

Werner_Erben · 2011-03-07

Hi Reijer,

I can't comment out in the codeunit 1112025 anything, because I have no license. Otherwise I would not have asked you about it.
I could solve this problem by rebuilding the database.

But now I have another new problem with "Where used" of keys:
The first example shows a new key, which is definitely used one time.
It appears that the key is 14 times used. The lookup shows correct the usage.

The key in the second example is used in one calculated field (CalcFormula=Max("Sales Line"."Corrected at" WHERE (Document Type=FIELD(Document Type), ...).

Here, no use is shown when lookup, but "no. of Times used" is 9.

Why is that?

reijermolenaar · 2011-03-07

The only thing I can think of is that the AutoIncrement of some primary keys is resetted to 0 when you upgraded. (or not set to the highest number) It is best to delete all record in table 11102057 “OM - Where Used Object” and rebuild the where used base.

I am afraid you will also have problems with other tables like “OM - Project History”, “OM – Modification” which are using a AutoIncrement key…

Hi Werner,

I've found the problem. Can you PM me your email address then I will send you a hot fix this afternoon.

Hi Reijer,

yes, this solved the problem. Many Thanks.

Question RE: Object Manager Light License.

Hello,
I have been using OM Light 6.02 for a few month.
I don't remember doing anything about the license when I installed OM., so I thought "Light" is free version.

Suddently(a few days ago), the database I installed OM is not accessible by NAV client anymore.
It says "Your program license has expired.", and doesn't allow to open the database.
This database is in dev sql server and has the exact same license as the production sql server.
The production db is fine.

Only difference I can think of is that Object Manager Light is installed on dev.

Did anyone have experienced similar thing?
Would it be cause by OM Light?
Does Light version require any license taken cared?

Thanks.

reijermolenaar · 2011-03-08

Hi,

No, this has nothing to do with the Object Manager.
There must be a difference between the license of your live and dev database.

plan_b · 2011-04-05

Hello,

I'm trying out Object Manager Advanced and I love it so far. But I'm stuck on getting SVN / Subversion to work.

I'm using NAV 2009 R2 (6.00.32012) Classic, imported the R2-FOB of OMA 7.02. SVN is installed and is working with TortoiseSVN.

First, there seems to be an error in the manual describing the setup, probably a C&P error...

Second, when I select "Subversion" in the Repository Setup, there is no field called "SubVersion executable"

Third, when I try any function in the setup (e.g. Create repository), an automation error appears.

What have I done wrong?

reijermolenaar · 2011-04-06

Hi,

The OMA uses the PuskOK automation to connect to SVN.

Name: PushOk COM bindings for Subversion 1.6.6
GUID: 26BAD3D0-C2C4-4723-9175-840366CF37E7
Version: 1.3
TypeLibFile: C:\Program Files\Pushok Software\SVN Proxy\svn\svncom.dll

We will add this to the manual.

einsTeIn.NET · 2011-04-20

Hi Reijer,

I've got a very strange error. It applies to an AddOn from the Netherlands. There's an individual field in my VLE with a certain name (Code 10) and there's special NL table with another individual field of the same name (but Boolean). When I use "Where Used Objects" it is telling me that this field (of VLE) is used six times. But when I click on the drill down there's a line that is refering to a certain function in that special NL table where the Boolean field is used. This Boolean field is used serveral times in different functions on that table, but only at this single position the system thinks it's part of the VLE table.

Any idea why this happens?

reijermolenaar · 2011-04-20

Hi,

I did once see something similar but it was not reproducible.

Does the reference remain when you press Ctrl+F5 (Refresh) on both where used cards. If so can you please send me the objects in text format?

Thanks.

einsTeIn.NET · 2011-04-21

No, refresh doesn't solve the problem. But when I drill down to the "Where Used In" Form, switch to the Card of the wrong line, click on Refresh and close the Card then I'm back on the "Where Used In" Form and the wrong line is empty. But when I close all forms and re-open them the wrong line is displayed again.

Give me a few days, I'll check it in standard database by creating a similar situation and come back to you.

zeon · 2011-04-21

Just curious to know if anyone can share some knowledge on how they use the Object Manager when having three different environments like dev, test and (pre-)prod.

What's your preferred setup regarding version no's in dev, test and prod? Are you having two different version id's for dev and test or how do you do it?
How do you manage Transports, when you have e. g 3 changes in an object in dev but only want to move one of them to test? And what do you do when the customer refuses the change. Do you then correct in dev, and transport to test once again?

TIA

We use the same Version List for all three databases.

zeon wrote:

In my opinion that's a very uncommon situation. And it gets even more complicated when the three changes have been done by different individuals/teams. I think the only way to solve this problem is to come to an agreement (team internal and customer side). But I'm pretty sure your customer will understand this dilemma and tell you which part should be tested first or if he'll wait until all of your development is done.

zeon wrote:

Yes, load the old version of your objects in dev and transport it again to test.

zeon · 2011-04-21

We use the same Version List for all three databases.

Ok, so when the customer tells you that they want to test a certain issue, you actually make a version in your dev db and move it to the test environment. If the customer approves the issue, do you then give it a new version no in test, or do you just move it via a Transport to prod db?

Well, this is not an uncommon situation with this particular customer, as they sometimes are a bit slow when it comes to testing. That's why it's a mess to uncomment the changes that should not be transferred to test, and then afterwards set these changes active again.

But thanks for your input

Yes, we usually set in dev the Version List we want to have in live. We do periodic updates in a bundle. So, when something will not be approved it'll be not in the update bundle and we'll switch back the test system to a former version in dev.

Well, I think then you have to tell them that they should not order changes to an object that has already been changed. Ok, I know that's sometmes a little bit hard but I really believe that this will end in a situation both parts can benefit from.

Well, part of the problem is also that we do not update in bundles, but make periodic updates when the customer approves an issue. That's why it often happens that we both have a change in an object that is ready for release and at the same time we are developing in that object.

Well, I think then you have to tell them that they should not order changes to an object that has already been changed. Ok, I know that's sometmes a little bit hard but I really believe that this will end in a situation both parts can benefit from.

I totally agree with you on that one!
