Big day yesterdag – but also a confusing one. A while ago, Microsoft announced Project “Madeira” as a “Public SaaS” offering from Microsoft, clearly based on our beloved NAV (but unspoken). There was a lot of fuss .. lots of people blogged about it (including me). But when you look at the name – Project …

Edited: added a “warnings” section below Did you ever have to empty a certain table entirely in NAV? Well, I admit, you don’t need to do this too often. And definitely not in a repetitive way. Well, I came across a situation where I needed to delete all millions of records from a table every …

This is just a small blogpost to mention a few things you need to take into account when you’re working with objects on a large scale – I mean importing, exporting, upgrading, compiling, .. whatever. My scenario I was upgrading a customer from CU3 to CU8. Sure, you might wonder why it took me so …

Just another CmdLet to bother you with (no really, it’s quite an interesting one – try to keep awake … ;-)). The more you use PowerShell .. and the more you use it for NAV .. you just realize that you have to call out to SQL Server quite regularly. Just a few examples: Backup …

I admit .. this is somewhat late in the year to come with this information. But I was searching for marketing material on NAV2016, and came across a list of links to (mainly) PartnerSource that might be useful for you as well, so I decided to write up a quick blogpost. As such, these are …

Blogging has been low lately. I have been insanely busy with providing content for the Cloud SureStep for Product Development on the DLP, which means: less free time :(. But .. Together with a brilliant colleague, I’m also working on an internal project: A code analyzer in PowerShell. Why in PowerShell .. well .. because …

Last week, there was a call from Microsoft (a so called “Directions Webinar”) all partners could attend. It was a public call, with about 400 people – which kind of means: the information is considered to be public. Now, I’m not good in expressing my opinion. I never felt that it was my job nor …

The last few days (between the soup and potatoes (Flemish expression ;-)), I have been trying to set up a full blown environment on Project “Madeira”. Not easy, as I am not from the US, and this preview only got released in the US. And apparently, Microsoft is serious about that – like when I …

As of today, Project “Madeira” is in public preview. Question is .. What is Project “Madeira”? In short: It’s a new offering in the cloud, in fact “NAV-in-the-cloud”, strongly integrated with Office 365. But the focus of Project “Madeira” isn’t really “NAV” – it would never say “NAV-in-the-cloud” – but it’s a “Business Solution” in …

There is a new congress in town. Or at least – in Stuttgart :-). NAVUG is coming to Europe for the very first time this year! As NAVUG is very strongly focused on the User, this is really another type of congress that we’re actually used to (in Europe). Now, NAVUG is all about education, …
