Hello,

I'm developing a WEB API for sincronize an APP with NAV2013/R2 and NAV2016; I chose the protocol ODATA when I startd this project published a page 18 Customer like ODATA Service.

My question are :smile:

1) When I'm going to publisher a new record or I'm going to update a record using ODATA protocol by web service, the evaluation control, the trigger before insert/update value, etc will be it execute?

2) Have you never used ODATA to exchange data with an APP or other system device? Have you found some limit?

3) Is a possible to call a codeunit using ODATA protocol, passing IT a JSON like BigText?

thanks in advance

    Hi

    1. Yes the Trigger will be executed...

    2.  In NAV 2013 there is only read access using ODATA, no write access. With NAV 2015 ODATA has all the Features(CRUD)... So if you are working on older version then there might be some limitations and you might would like to stick with SOAP which is slower...

    3. It is not currently possible to access codeunits with OData web services.

    You can use ODATA to Read and SOAP to Write...

    1) Yes

    2) OData is less suited for applications that are primarily RPC-oriented or in which data operations are constrained to certain prescribed patterns. Refer to Known Limitations: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh166950(v=nav.90).aspx

    3) Unfortunately, no. It is not currently possible to access codeunits with OData web services: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh168269(v=nav.90).aspx
