The NAV Style/StyleExpr properties have been around for a while but I couldn't find an accurate table of the values as they are circa 2018. Hence, a quick little reference:
1/13/20 - This apparently only applies to NAV. See note at the end for connecting to Business Central It took me a little while to nail down authenticating to a Dynamics NAV OData web service with Postman. Fiddler does it quite easily but I suspect it is a little more intelligent while Postman requires the correct settings for everything. First, in NAV you need to have NTLM authentication enabled. I have found this is required any time you want to use the web services with anything other than .NET (and even then...). Now, with NTLM enabled, you might think the authentication is NTLM but you'd be wrong. It's Digest. There are two flavors of Digest: MD5 and MD5-sess. By default, Postman will come up with MD5. I discovered it was supposed to be MD5-sess by using Chrome's developer console. With this console open, make the GET request and you can see all of the data being exchanged. Within the Authorization header, toward the end, you wi...
I was recently setting up Zetadocs on a new server (existing database) and I got this message when closing the General Settings screen. Exception of type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.Exceptions.Encryption.NavEncryptionKeyNotFoundException' was thrown. I couldn't find the error anywhere in Google, hence this post. The problem is that on a new server, the key needed to decrypt Sharepoint Online's login information will not have been installed. To fix this, first connect to the service where Zetadocs was first installed (or is working) and open the Enrcryption Management screen. Click the "Export Encryption Key" button and save the key to a file. You will be prompted to secure the file with a password. Once you have the file saved, copy it to the new server then go into the Encryption Management screen on its service and click "Import Encryption Key". Enter the password for your file and the new key will be imported.
I had a situation where I needed to create a replica database for reporting using log shipping with two servers that aren't on the same network. There is an excellent article describing the process on Niall Best's blog . The instructions got me the setup that I needed on my remote SQL server but when I went to run the restore process, nothing happened. Running the sqllogship.exe command from a command prompt gave me a "Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database" message in the results. After confirming that my path settings were correct in the log_shipping_secondary table, I ran the sqllogship command with Process Monitor going. Process Monitor showed that sqllogship was looking for files named "MyDatabase_*.trn". Because my primary and secondary database names are the same, I'm not sure if the MyDatabase value is the primary or the secondary. I would start with the primary and if that doesn't work, try the s...
