(NAV 2009)

Hi

My NAV experience is somewhat limited, but with other ERM/CRM products I been working with we had some form of functionality to show object dependencies. I.E. A product specific header and order tables are created before I started in the company. I need to know what objects are using these tables in order to update translate fieldnames and options(not just captions) language from local language to English. This will enable international developers to assist upgrading and implementing additional features.

So the challenge is. How do I find all the other tables, reports, pages (and old forms), ports and codeunits that is somehow linked to these tables? In my previous experience I could just right click the table and select "Show dependencies" but I understand this process is probably not shipped with the product. Is there a 3th party tool I could use?

So far I been exporting large portions of the objects to txt files and searching for object ID. Not very effective or accurate.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks :thumbsup:

This trial version of the Object Manager can be used until 15.06

These all look like solid tools, esp Prism seems intuitive. Unfortunately we are stuck with NAV 2009. And I don't see any reference for backward compability with these products. Hopefully someone else have found what they were looking for. I got a few pointers where I should start looking. Thanks again

All of these will work NAV 2009, and even older versions ( Object Manager starts with 3.70)

Hi,

If you are using Classic Version of Navision you can use Developer Toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics NAV for same.

In the Toolkit you can import Text file of all the objects and Use Where Used Function which can tell you all the Dependent Objects.

Is there a fuctionality to show all object dependencies?
