Record Link Web service?

Posted on by Community Member

I'd like to add a feature to my web application for people to add comments to a customer card. I have the customer ID and the text they'd like to add, but the RecordLink table seems to have some complicated formatting about it. I was trying to follow http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_dynamics_nav_sustained_engineering/archive/2009/08/06/how-do-record-links-encode-their-data-in-sql-server.aspx but I then heard that the format changed from 2009 to 2013 (we're on 2015) so I'm guessing writing directly to the database is out of the question. Is there a web service that I could expose on the company that could accomplish the same thing? Every time I try to add a Page for object '2000000068' I get an error saying that isn't valid. And when I expose the customer card, I don't get a property exposing notes.

Is there a web service I can expose to add notes to customers? Or do I have to resort to using C/AL and exposing a code unit that does the work?

Hello!

Have you tried looking into the Comment section for the customers? I do not mean the notes, I mean the comments. You will find a button named "Comments" in the Customer List for example. It calls page 124.

It will probably easier that way, might be worth checking out.

We're already using the comments field via web services. We want to be able to send notifications from our external application into Navision so inside people can receive the notifications in their role center.

HI,

You cannot use tables with DataPercompany NO property with web services.

I think for achieving what you are looking for - You need to create a codeunit and call that codeunit function with parameter of customer No & Company Name from your web application.

Then you can insert Records using C/AL Code and Return True / False based on Insert True or Not To Web Application.

Since we don't have a developer license, we went the way of inserting the records manually through SQL. Kind of a bummer this service isn't baked in as a fully fledged web service.
