November 2016 – Gunnar's Blog

Now, ten days after a succesful NAV TechDays 2016, it is time to write a short recap.

As usual I met with a lot of old friends and managed to gain new ones. Had a great time. I hosted a workshops on extending the Data Exchange Framework on Thuesday and Wednesday. It looks like I am the only one in my MVP group to have dug deep into that functionality. Huge thanks to the people who attended. I always learn a lot from you guys.

On Thursday morning I had my first NAV TechDays session. I talked about migrating to events. I had a blast!

Luc has the video on Mibuso, so if you missed it or just want to relive the moment, go ahead and watch or download.

You can also watch the slides right here. I have notes on most of my slides to better explain what I was thinking.

On Friday morning Soren presented Source Control. There he talked about an initiative that Kamil and me started – to make Source Control available for every NAV developer. Soren jumped on board and we can expect more to join. On that note I have created my GitHub account where everyone can download the stuff that I publish.

I have published the presentations and objects to GitHub for everyone to play with. What you download and do with it is on your own responsibility.

p.s. the NAV TechDays photo album is right here to browse through.

I got the following response from Microsoft

Hello Gunnar,

We wanted to update you on your request to publish your app, G/L Source Names (Request ID# 835), on Microsoft AppSource. Based on our initial evaluation, your app has been moved to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV AppSource team for further evaluation. You will receive a follow up within 5-7 days or earlier with a status regarding your submission and next steps as relevant.

Please let us know if you have any questions, or if there is anything we can do to help.

Where you are in the process:

Request ID# 835

Thank you,
The Microsoft AppSource team

Soon after I got an Excel Template for my object request (microsoft-dynamics-365-for-financials-app-extension-questionnaire-and-object-range-request-form-october-2016). Here posted for demonstration purposes, don’t use this for your actual process.

I did my object request and for this solution 50 objects is enough.

And this morning I got another email from Microsoft

Hi Gunnar,

50 objects have been assigned to “Kappi ehf.” (PSBC: 6433432) in the range: 70009200-70009249 for your app G/L Source Names.

You have most likely figured out by now that you need to be a Microsoft Partner. Not a partner, jump to the partner website and sign up.

So, to PartnerSource Business Center to download a new development license.

I like to start by downloading the “Permission Report Detailed (txt)” to verify that my objects are indeed in the license.

After verifying the below lines

I can download the license file and start my development process. That process will be covered in later posts.
