Customized code in Codeunit 1

ta5 · 2012-01-31

Hello
We have a strange behaviour in Codeunit 1.

Function LoginStart:
IF GUIALLOWED AND NOT ISSERVICETIER THEN BEGIN
  //something
end;

This works like charm but if a classic report without rtc layout is started in rtc then "something" should not run. Any ideas how to change the code?
Btw: The "something" is a modal form that shows db name, servername, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Made a short test, when the classic client is loaded for report displaying of not converted reports, the Application Name in the session table shows: "111"
So maybe you could get your session record (set filter to "My Session" = true) and check if appliation name = '111'

Hi Dev.CH
Thanks for reply. Good point, I already knew that, but for different reasons I'd rather would not use session table (problems in some versions if user has only rights for some companies)...
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Thomas

may i know what is your requirement?

If you want to show server name and database name..you can use system indicator functionality in NAV 2009 R2..

good point, but system indicator is for rtc only, isnt't it?

You're right. System Indicator will work only for RTC.
Which build of Nav are you using?

Btw: Why does IsServiceTier does not help?

Because classic reports run on rtc, but don't fall under "isservicetier"

Maybe someone from MS can comment:
a) why Application Name in the Session table is set to '111', when executed through RTC to run classic reports
b) is there another way to distinguish if LoginStart in Codeunit 1 is executed through RTC to run classic reports

Hmm have you tried to add permission at the object level to ensure session table is accessible?

I'll try, but as said before, my primary goal was not to use session at all, because it's a special table and generally not used similar on all versions and platforms.

Yeah i understand that, but i guess since your request ist very special, you can be happy that there is at least ONE way to do this. But who knows...

It works like this:

Session.SETRANGE("My Session",TRUE);
Session.FINDFIRST;
IF Session."Application Name" = '111' THEN
  EXIT;

Thanks for all of the contributions

If you get permission problems, you should just grant SELECT permissions to the Session view for the $ndo$shadow application role... (Assuming you are using Standard security)

Hi,

The solution has been provided already. Here are my answers to your question:

a) The Application Name is set to 111 to avoid consuming another Client session when we launch Classic Client to run a Classic report from RTC.
b) There is no other way to determine if the Classic Client is being launched by RTC to run a report.

Regards,

David
