Posted on by How to get connecti... 5

I want to setup to program AL in visualstudio code. But I am unable to download symbols. How can I get the correct server name for the launch.json?

This is my launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [        

        {
            "name": "Your own server",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "al",    
            "server": "https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/48bf5e21-6260-4f21-8d42-28c4c0c7a9df/sandox",        
            "environmentType": "OnPrem",            
            "serverInstance": "BC",
            "authentication": "UserPassword",
            "startupObjectId": 22,
            "startupObjectType": "Page",
            "breakOnError": "All",
            "launchBrowser": true,
            "enableLongRunningSqlStatements": true,
            "enableSqlInformationDebugger": true,
            "tenant": "default"
        }
    ]
}
Please help.

    Hi, It looks like you are using the SaaS version.

    for SaaS: the "tenant" and "environmentName" are important.

    For example,

    {
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "configurations": [
            {
                "name": "Microsoft cloud sandbox",
                "request": "launch",
                "type": "al",
                "tenant": "d8f36038-1f93-4543-affc-5dc92b6ee871",
                "environmentType": "Sandbox",
                "environmentName": "Sandbox213",
                "schemaUpdateMode": "ForceSync",
                "startupObjectType": "Page",
                "breakOnError": "All",
                "launchBrowser": true,
                "enableLongRunningSqlStatements": true,
                "enableSqlInformationDebugger": true
            }
        ]
    }
