Dynamic certificate validation when calling Web services

$
0
0

There are situations when you’ll want to call Web services from C/AL, and those Web services might be protected by certificate that your local machine cannot validate directly. Web service might be secured with a self-signed certificate, or by a certificate obtained from an authority that is not globally trusted.

In all those situations, you might need to have a facility to validate certificates yourself. That’s something that’s at the fingertips of all C# developers through the ServerCertificateValidationCallback delegate. However, in C/AL, delegates are unfortunately not (yet) supported.

A friend of mine had this specific problem today, so I remembered that a short while ago I made a “how do I” video on this specific topic. Thanks, Mathias, for giving me a prod, and reminding me of a quick blog topic.

Programmatically Editing Searchability of Fields

$

Today's post is written by Matt Dearing, Development Principal at Sonoma Partners.

We recently had a request from a customer to flip the “searchable” function on a number of fields from on to off; preventing users from searching on these fields in advanced find.

When you only want to modify a handful of fields, the easiest way to do this is through native customizations by editing the attribute’s configuration to flip its searchable value to “No.” If there are several fields to update, a great option is using the XrmToolBox’sAttribute Bulk Updater which, as the name suggests, lets you update specific attribute metadata in bulk.

However, in this case, the customer had a list of 1000+ fields across 20+ entities they wanted to have disabled to reduce clutter in advanced find. This would have taken a significant amount of time if we used the native customization editor or even the Attribute Bulk Updater, and both methods would have been prone to error. We decided to convert their list (which was originally the field and entity Display Names) to schema names and update programmatically.

The customer gave us a CSV file with a column for entity display names and another for attribute display names. Then to retrieve the schema names we used MetaBlast to export the metadata of the customer’s org. We planned on using VLOOKUPS to match the display names to the schema names but because a number of fields repeated across entities we needed to create a unique identifier for the lookup. We added an additional column to the customer-provided CSV file and the MetaBlast file and filled it with a concatenation of the entity and attribute name. With a unique identifier in place we used the VLOOKUP function to retrieve the schema names.

1

 var attribute = entity.Attributes.Where(x=> x.LogicalName == csvFieldName).First()
attribute.IsValidForAdvancedFind.Value = false;
orgService.Execute(new UpdateAttributeRequest()
{
	Attribute = attribute,
	EntityName = key
});
*The above code was in a try catch to print out those csv fields that could not be found or not be updated.

Next we wrote a simple LinqPad script that would: loop through the rows of the CSV, leveraging the CsvHelper NuGet package to bring the entities and attributes into memory; query each entities metadata; match the csv row attribute to the entity attribute metadata; then set the attribute metadata’s “IsValidForAdvancedFind” property to false and update the attribute.

Finally we published all customizations and voila the fields were updated. There were a handful of fields whose “IsValidForAdvancedFind” property was not updatable, and this could have been checked for in the LinqPad script, but with this being a quick one time run we just printed those fields out to the console window and let the customer know which fields could not be updated.

In the end this saved a ton of time from updating each field manually, and reduced the number of errors that manually clicking would have introduced. The customer was excited that we were able to clean up their searchable fields. It’s always good to look for existing tools to help speed up customization work, but sometimes a quick script is the best way to go especially if updating a very large number of customizations.

Benefits of Hosting Dynamics NAV on Cloud

$

0

Owing to the significant benefits over the traditional on-premise option,  the cloud hosting option has become a very popular deployment option for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. It not only relieves your headache of installing and maintaining IT Infrastructure, but it also gives you the freedom to access your system from anywhere. Moreover, with Microsoft Dynamics NAV hosted on a cloud ERP Partner, you can ensure a high degree of productivity, mobility and reliability to your users. At the same time, it comes to you with lower cost and is easier to manage.

Key highlights of hosting Dynamics NAV on the Cloud

Cost-effectiveness
In current scenarios every organization wants to eliminate the cost incurred on over-sized on-premises datacenter infrastructure, licenses and IT management. So to overcome this, Hosting Dynamics NAV on  a Partner Cloud relieves you from making unnecessary upfront investments on hardware and software, which could otherwise be directed towards some other more essential business operations.

Reliable and secure
MetaOption has industry leading up-time guarantees for infrastructure and applications. With regular backups and fail over capacity to physically distributed datacenters, the Dynamics cloud hosting option gives you disaster recovery capabilities far in excess of more in-house services.

Flexibility of users
Cloud hosting service is perfect for growing businesses. Start with even a single user, and add or reduce capacity to suit your business and, in turn, save your precious money. The subscription fee is based on the total number of user licenses and is charged on a monthly basis. Therefore, because of this feature, you can focus more on your usual line of work.

Facilitates mobility
You can securely access hosted Dynamics NAV in the cloud any time, anywhere even on-the-go, through the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client on virtually any device.

Accelerated Deployment
Get your business on track faster. Hosted Dynamics NAV solutions generally offer faster deployment options than onsite On-Premise solutions.

Easy customization
Each enterprise has its own kind of requirements and financial constraints. With virtually no restrictions on customizations, you can take advantage of MetaOption’s expertise to develop a highly customized solution that suits your exact needs.
