Two posts in a row. I’ve just shared a post on how to give access to an user that belongs to a different Azure Active Directory to somehow workaround the limitation of only being able to setup one Application Insights in the same environment.

When a new container is created using navcontainerhelper, if the -useSSL flag is used, a self-signed certificate is created and the url to the certificate file is retrieved. How to download and install the self-signed certificate after creating the container, using Powershell commands? Like this: $containername = ‘bccontainer’ $outputCertFilePath = ‘C:\Temp\’ + $containername + ‘_Certificate.cer’ […]
I’ve just shared a few cheat sheets that I’ve created, with Docker, Business Central, Powershell and NAVContainerHelper commands and a few more useful things. I’ll keep adding more things over time. You can find the link below as well as in the navigation bar. Hope you find it useful.
#dynamicsnav #businesscentral #msdyn365bc #designpatterns In Dynamics NAV/BC development we often see a method with a lot of parameters.

Eric Walters (Waldo) shared a great tool developed “on top of” the existing Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Model.Tools.dll, which is a library that serves the PowerShell Merge-CmdLets provided by Microsoft, that allow us to do a bunch of analysis on top of NAV/BC objects (man, you rock!). More info here: https://www.waldo.be/2019/02/15/c-al-source-code-analysis-with-powershell/ And here: https://github.com/waldo1001/Waldo.Model.Tools I have created a script […]
