Posted on by 230

Hello,

Just started creating BC365 report. I got it to download symbols and started creatign reprot, but I have problem when I'm trying to select table which our partner have created, it does not appear ir dataitem selection list. All I can see is standart BC tables. Partner developed tables appearing BC, but in code they seem not to exist. Where is my problem?

I'm talking in here, or should I select something different. Thanks for help guys.

    Hi,

    The objects which is created by your partner contains a different app id.
    So in order to access the objects (table, page, Report, Codeunits).
    You need to add dependency in your app.json file and then download the symbols again.
    After which you would see the partner package in your .al package folder.
    Below is the steps to add dependency

    Go to the extension management and then go to partner app which is installed in the BC. And then click on the Is installed field value to get the app information. And then refer the below screenshot pick those data from that app and add into your app.json file as dependency section.

    Format for adding dependencies.
    "dependencies": [
        {
        "id""<appid>"   // which will be  getting from your app information.,
        "publisher""<Publisher Name>",
        "name""<name of the app file>",
        "version""<Version No of the app>"
          }
    }

    Hi,

    1. Add the correct dependencies info in your app.json file

    2 . We mention the source table and dataitemname as below -

    Instead of id, I needed to use appID and it worked like charm. Thank you very much.
