How to turn on Logging for the Dynamic Connector
Sometimes you need to look at the logs of the connector because the initial error is not very descriptive and you need a few more clues. The logs are held in an unusual folder – ProgramData, which is often hidden from browsing, so you often have to paste the folder into windows explorer. below are […]
Dynamic Connector – Client Hanging when viewing log files
November 8, 2012
I had a frustrating few hours this morning when the Dynamic Connector client kept freezing, not responding before finally crashing. I seemed to be getting the error when trying to view the log files for some of the maps. I tried installing the Dynamic Connector on another server and I was getting the same error. […]
Dynamic Connector – When new/custom tables won’t add web services
November 5, 2012
I have been working on a Dynamic Connector upgrade and one of the steps in the upgrade is you have to apply a hotfix. These hotfix is for the Integration of Countries/Regions hotfix. I think this was to fix a problem that occurred because in NAV you have a countries/region lookup and this basically just converted to […]
Dynamic Connector – Missing Icon
October 25, 2012
Sometimes you end up installing, uninstalling the Dynamic connector lots of times, especially in the bad old days where the connector would often forget your maps when you updated them. Sometimes this can lead to the icon missing, I will also add they should create their own logo (BRAND IT) I know it’s not a […]
[NAV Enumerated Values to Picklist] has encountered an error while processing key [Countries_Regions]. Sequence contains no matching element
October 24, 2012
If you get this error message in the NAV connector for the enumerated maps [NAV Enumerated Values to Picklist] has encountered an error while processing key [Countries_Regions]. Sequence contains no matching element This means you haven’t read the install documentation correctly (don’t ask how I know this!!) and you haven’t applied a hot fix. Basically […]
Dynamic Connector upgrade Gotcha
October 16, 2012
A quick blog post about a little gotcha I found with a recent Dynamic Connector upgrade. I upgraded an existing Dynamic Connector configuration and everything seemed to go ok but when I looked at the maps I could see that when I clicked on some of the custom maps I had made it wasn’t showing […]
Dynamic Connector works with CRM 2011 and NAV 2013
October 4, 2012
Good news the Dynamic Connector or the Connector for Microsoft Dynamics team are keeping up the good work and development on the Dynamic Connector and already have it working with NAV 2013. I will first add I think the Connector team need to use a better name than Connector for Microsoft Dynamics because that name […]
Dynamic Connector – Web service connection errors
August 29, 2012
A few weeks ago I was getting errors connecting to the NAV webservices using the Connector. You can read more about that here http://crmbusiness.wordpress.com/2012/08/16/crm-2011-dynamic-connector-error-the-request-failed-with-http-status-401-unauthorized/ I got round the problem by using the ip address of the server, other things you can try is the full name (usually .local at the end or something like that) […]
CRM 2011 – Dynamic Connector Error – The request failed with HTTP status 401: unauthorized
August 16, 2012
I was once again wrestling with a Dynamic Connector install. The hardest thing about using the Dynamic Connector is as soon as you get an error, it’s practically impossible to find any help for it, I think this is due to not much has been written, they didn’t agree on a name for ages so […]
Dynamic Connector – mapping OptionStrings in NAV to Optionsets in CRM
May 22, 2012
Firstly the article post below by the connector team was extremely useful, even if it took me a while to understand where they were putting the values because they didn’t have any screen shots. I hope the connector team write some more blog posts because the Dynamic Connector users need all the help and documentation […]
