OnDemand NAS Codeunits Scheduling

OnDemand NAS Codeunits Scheduling

With a little modification of standard NAV “Scheduling Report Page”, is possible to schedule also codeunits !

You don’t need IT department to schedule you applications handled by codeunits (ex: interfaces, intercompany entries, copy company functions etc.), user can schedule codeunits in his NAS session without use of Process Queue management console. Some standard codeunits have HideDialog functions defined, you can use these functions to bypass client input parameters (es: confirm messages etc.), you are in NOT GUIALLOWED mode with NAS.

Examples of utilizations:

• we use OnDemand schedule to launch OnDemand Web Services synchronizations and multicompanies data deployments, we won’t use reports to do this, and we need to handle transactions with great rollback by design (codeunits).

Example

OnDemand schedule of codeunit “99000853 Calc. Low-level code”, that require user input confirmation (Confirm)

Modifications:

Codeunit 99000853 Calc. Low-level code

OnRun()

// Set Hidedialogs TRUE for NAS execution (NAV Service and NAS for user sessions)

IF NOT GUIALLOWED THEN

SetHideDialogs(TRUE);

SetHideDialogs(NewHideDialogs : Boolean)

HideDialogs := NewHideDialogs;

//Standard HideDialogs Function
