In Microsoft Dynamics NAV, there are many functions that help you enter data in a quick and easy way. Sometimes clients have a requirement of inputting one or more values at run-time and based on that result perform some actions. Keeping this requirement in mind, we have implemented an input box that takes multiple values as input at run-time. Here are the steps for the to create multiple values input box in Dynamics NAV: 1 – Action – Enter Rows and Columns
2 – Multiple values Input Box
3 – Result
4-Code
For all this variables “RunOnCilent” property must be set. To set this up, following are the steps: 1 – Create Input Box as Form
2 – Add Labels
3 – Add Text boxes
4 – Add Buttons
5– Get Results
And its done. This can reduce the unnecessary use of objects. If you need any help, feel free to reach us.
As we all know that BOTs are the most buzz topic now-a-days and Telegram messaging application has a good hold on it as a platform. Recently we received a couple of feedback from our customers to integrate some messaging application with Dynamics NAV because that’s where they work-in the whole day and they don’t like to switch the screen to connect with their co-workers. We had been searching a good BOT to integrate with our ERP until we ended up crafting it on Telegram. It’s very easy and fun work. Easiest Steps to Integrate Telegram with Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Connect to @BotFather account of Telegram by searching like this
2. Create new bot by sending /newBot command
3. It will ask for your Bot name that you want to create.
4. Give Suitable name that ends with for Ex: NAV_bot.
5. Each bot is given a unique authentication token when it is created. The token looks something like 326076132:AAEufsce4s2sg5b6mdbmW_KLTcbmS-HeVXY.
To generate token, just go into botFather account.
Send /token
It will ask you that, for which bot you want to generate token.
Just Tap on our newly created bot name @Navision_bot.
That’s it, just copy this token for your reference.
6. Now, I have created this bot to Integrate with NAVISION, so for that you require to generate Chat IDs of users to send chat messages to any Telegram User.
First of all, users will have to send test message to the BOT that you created.
For that, search your bot account in Telegram starts with @ Sign followed by your Bot Name.
Just enter into your bot, and type /Start to send test message to generate your Chat ID.
Now, your Chat ID generated and you will get it by calling getUpdates method of Telegram API, for this you have to call getUpdates method in web browser as follows.
For Ex: https://api.telegram.org/324480200:AAGxuzqskveyV-ZBTM81P0CCI2qartfWPfo/getUpdates
You will see the response of telegram in JSON format as follows.
From here you can get the Chat IDs.
7. All set, now you can send message to any user. And it will have sent from your newly created
To Integrate Telegram with NAV, we have focused to send requests via CURL tool, that silently run HTTP requests from
For Ex:
Open CMD.
Go to the path where your CURL tool is there.
Run the command to send Http Post request like this: Curl -X POST “https://api.telegram.org/bot326076132:AAEufscs4s2sg5b6mEbmW_KLTcbmS-HeVXY/sendMessage” -d “chat_id=163898670&text=my sample text”
All Above Steps are to test sample message sending from HTTP request. 8. Now to Integrate Telegram with NAV, you will have to send HTTP requests from NAV code, For that, I have used CURL tool that run silently from your PC and sends HTTP request. 9. Create One Automation variable of ‘Windows Script Host Object Model’.WshShell to open CMD and run CURL command. 10. Here are some sample commands to send messages and send attachments from NAV.
curl -X POST “https://api.telegram.org/bot326076132:AAEufccs4s2kg5b6mfbmW_KLTcbmS-HeVXY/sendMessage” -d “chat_id=-189801512&text=my sample text”
There could be any reason for the error ‘AX client has stopped working’. Most of the time it’s due to bad code and data. In this article, we will see how can we troubleshoot and fix the same. Finding the logs: During the crash, you will see the following messages
On the client crash: Microsoft Dynamics AX client has stopped working.
On the Application object server (AOS): The Server is unavailable. Check your configuration and network connection and try again.
Check if AX Service is stopped.
Check the event viewer on AOS server, probably you will see following error Faulting application name: ax32Serv.exe, version: xxx, time stamp: xxx
Service control manager also reports about this issue.
Fixing the issue: First, identify if the crash is due to buggy Dynamics AX code or not. To identify it, check the said logs as mentioned above. Ensure that event viewer has not reported any error related to Network on AOS server or Domain on AOS server. Follow the below steps, if you find that the culprit is buggy code or some bad data.
Use any of the following tools to collect memory dump.
WER(Window error reporting) is a built-in tool that collects information about errors, can be used to capture memory dump for AX crashing application.
Debug Diagnostic is a free Microsoft Tool. It is advanced as compared to WER and more configurable.
To conclude the reason for the crash, one needs to analyze the collected memory dump. It is in machine language and not in readable format, so we can use the following options.
Analyze it with Crash Dump Analysis tool on LCS – this will generate a report can be useful to conclude.
Raise a support incidence with Microsoft, they will provide workspace to upload dump and after analyzing MS Support engineer will help to resolve the issue.
When you think of business data, an image of huge servers and chunks of wires come in front of your eyes. It is estimated that every day at least 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is produced.

Everyday new trends and technology takeover the market; many of which you are still unaware of. The Internet of Things, also known as IoT, is one such trend. IoT basically means each thing in the world has capability to connect, produce and transfer the data. Thus, it erases the line between digital and physical world. IoT in business is the first step in making your business go Digital.
IoT is much hyped as billions of devices and systems connected but think of it as Internet of Your Things. It is a good time to look beyond the hype. Create a strategy to unlock the potential of the Internet of Your Things to generate ROI and drive efficiencies and insights for your organization. Moreover, IoT in business helps you realize real, transformative results in your organization.
Simply put, these connected “things” are producing large amounts of information. Tap into those data streams and connect them to the cloud and back-end systems. You can thus optimize business processes and decision making, identify new revenue opportunities, and better understand customer and partner behaviours.
Robots on a factory floor send production and maintenance information directly to those who need it, for unparalleled reliability and uptime. Sensors installed inside an equipment will check if any part is not at par with its designed thresholds and will automatically send reports to owners and manufacturers if they have. In each case, new insights are generated that drive the organization’s objectives forward on many levels.
IoT starts with identifying the one process, product line or location that matters most and then making small changes with a big impact. Find few key areas of your business that provide the quickest return and aim to optimize them by connecting your people and infrastructure together. The power of IoT in business and your existing assets enables you to:
Connect your already existing data and systems with new data sources to gain new insights into business which are futuristic and efficient
Scale your IoT project to your business needs and get started quickly
Capture, analyze, and mine disparate data to create new insights and predict future outcomes.
