Summary: /* Fixed Assets */



== Overview ==

This document describes the changes between Navision Solutions 3.00 and Navision Attain 3.01.

This document was originally written and published by Navision A/S and released
as part of the Navision CD for that product. The original text has been preserved,
and has only been edited for formatting. The original document can be found at the
end of this document, under external links.


== Application Changes ==

=== General Changes ===

==== Features ====

'''A1) Main Menu'''
Feature
The main menu has been changed because of the new company colors and the new product name.
Table 389 has been deleted since it was only used in the main menu for Solutions 3.00.
The two bitmap files:

*logowatermark ID 29.bmp
*watermark ID 33.bmp

installed along with the Attain Client are thus no longer used, but has been left for reasons of backward compatibility.
Implemented

*''Form 330 Main Menu''
*''Form 332 General Ledger Menu''
*''Form 333 Sales & Receivables Menu''
*''Form 334 Purchases & Payables Menu''
*''Form 335 Inventory Menu''
*''Form 336 Resource Menu''
*''Form 337 Job Menu''
*''Form 5000 Relationship Management Menu''
*''Form 5224 Human Resource Menu''
*''Form 5606 FA Menu''

*''Form 5959 Service Menu''
*''Form 99001048 Cap. Reqts. Planning Menu''
*''Form 99001049 Manufacturing Menu''

==== Errors fixed ====
'''A2) Error in the Demo Data for Customers 41231215, 41497647 & 41597832.'''
Error
A wrong Gen. Bus. Posting group for the customers resulted in an error when the "VAT- VIES Declaration Tax Auth" report was printed. The reason was that the Gen. Bus. Posting group was EU instead of Export. CH isn't an EU country and hasn't an EU country code in the country code table.
However, a lot of VAT entries with the wrong Gen. Bus. Posting group still exists.
This has been corrected
*''Codeunit 101004''

'''A3) Optimistic Concurrency Error on SQL Server when Posting Sales and Purchase Orders'''
Error
In Navision Solutions 3.00 there is an error regarding the Release document function.
If "Sales & Receivables Setup"."Calc. Inv. Discount" or "Purchases & Payables Setup"."Calc. Inv. Discount" is set to "Yes", then the Release function fails when posting orders, resulting in an error message saying "Another user has modified...".
The error only occurs when using SQL Server.
This has been corrected:
*''Codeunit 414 Release Sales Documents''
*''Codeunit 415 Release Purchase Documents''

'''A4) Multi language correction for dimensions'''
Error
Some dimension forms referred to the Object table without using the Object Translation table.
This has been corrected:
*''Form 544 Ledger Entry Dimensions''
*''Form 545 Journal Line Dimensions''
*''Form 546 Document Dimensions''
*''Form 547 Posted Document Dimensions''

'''A5) Spelling Mistake in the Demo Data'''
Error
An item in the Demo Data was called “2000-S SIDNEY”. This has been changed to “2000-S SYDNEY”.
Project Workbase ID: 9686478CF5E1084441256A1C0035B4B2
This has been corrected

Implemented

==== Errors fixed ====

Error

This has been corrected

'''A8) Wrong VAT Rounding Type in Table 81 Gen. Journal Line'''
Error
VAT rounding direction was not taken into consideration in table 81 Gen. Journal Line.
This has been corrected
*''Table 81 Gen. Journal Line''

'''A9) Wrong Date Filtering on Form 475 VAT Statement Preview'''
Error
A previous change to report 12 VAT Statement regarding use of start and end dates instead of date filter caused form 475 VAT Statement Preview Line to show wrong numbers because filters were not set correctly.
This has been corrected
*''Form 475 VAT Statement Preview Line''
*''Report 12 VAT Statement''

'''A10) Dimensions not Copied in the Copy Budget Batch Job'''
Error
When dimensions were defined in the copy budget batch job, this was not taken into consideration in the actual copy.
This has been corrected

'''A11) Division by Zero in Table 37 and Table 39'''
Error
When entering a sales order where invoice discount = line amount and using prices including VAT, a 'division by zero' error occurred in the statistics window.
This has been corrected
*''Table 37 Sales Line''
*''Table 39 Purchase Line''

'''A12) When Date Compressing the G/L Budget Entries an Error Occurred'''
Error
An error message would appear, saying that you had to retain the dimensions and even though you selected all the dimensions in the Retain Dimensions field, the same error message would continue to come.
This has been corrected
*''Report 97 Date Compr. G/L Budget Entries''

'''A13) Error in Report 715 "Price List"'''
Error
Report 715 did not take the currency's "Unit-Amount Decimal Places" into consideration.
This has been corrected
*''Report 715 Price List''

'''A14) Inconsistency when Applying'''
Error

== Development Environment and Database Changes ==

=== Navision Server ===
Features
P1) Server Based Backup: “HotCopy” Introduced
Feature
A program to create fast backups of a running Navision Server database has been introduced. Read more about the new program in the “Installation & system Management: Navision Server” manual.
For Attain 3.01, the HotCopy feature is available for the Navision Server running on Windows only.
Errors fixed

Issues

=== MS SQL Server Option ===
Features
P2) SQL Server 2000 Default Collation
Feature
When installing SQL Server 2000 it is no longer necessary to use a SQL Collation for the default server collation: a Windows Collation can be used if desired. Navision Attain will not generate an error message when it detects a server Windows Collation. However, it is still only possible to create databases with either a SQL Collation or Binary Windows Collation. It is also necessary that the code page for the database collation match the client computer OEM or ANSI System code page, as with previous releases.

It is important to ensure that the database collation is set to that required by the system administrator when creating a database, using the Collation tab in the New Database window.
P3) Client Monitor - Additional Parameters
Feature
To help trouble-shooting and performance analysis when running against SQL Server, new parameter entries that can be configured dynamically have been added to the Client Monitor. These include status information for caching and SQL statements, along with execution plans.

In a future version of Attain the configuration will be possible from within Attain in the user interface. Currently this has to be done outside of Attain, using the Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer tools. The [$ndo$dbproperty] table in the database being analyzed contains a new integer column named 'diagnostics' (provided that the database has been opened and converted with an Attain 3.01 client). The value of this column determines the parameters and their values used in the Client Monitor. This value is determined by adding together the following combination of flags:

Flag Parameter Behavior
0 (default) SQL Statement displayed with actual filter values (can be copied into Query Analyzer and executed, providing the statement has not been truncated).
SQL Status displays 'Cached' when data has been read from a client cache, instead of making a server call.
Statistics 'Server Time', 'Reads' and 'Records Read' (i.e. the number of records fetched to the client for the operation) are collected.
1 SQL Statement is not displayed.
2 SQL Statement uses '?' placeholders instead of filter values.
4 Statistics 'Server Time', 'Reads' and 'Records Read' are collected.
8 SQL Plan is displayed (for most statements), as a collapsed tree with the format:

Plan Step(Object)[n,p];... Here, node n has parent p.

E.g.: Computer Scalar[2,1];Clustered Index Seek(User$0)[4,2]
This defines the tree:

1 -- Root
2 -- Computer Scalar
4 -- Clustered Index Seek(User$0)
16 SQL Status is not displayed.
32 SQL Status displays additional information; internal statement ID; re-use status; prepared status; cursor type; hints; transaction type.

For example, to remove statistics but display execution plans; add flag 4 to flag 8 to give a diagnostics value of 12. Update the table using Enterprise Manager or using a statement in Query Analyzer such as:

UPDATE [$ndo$dbproperty] SET [diagnostics] = 12

The value takes effect the next time the database is opened.

Notes:

Collecting server statistics is time-consuming, so enabling statistics with flag 4 is not recommended when performing benchmarking, in order to give the most accurate value for the 'Elapsed Time (ms)' parameter.

Similarly, displaying the execution plans is extremely time consuming and should not be done when benchmarking. This parameter is useful when trouble-shooting problematic application areas to determine if a SQL statement is a bottle-neck, and can be valuable to users not able to run the SQL Profiler tool (note that executing a SQL statement in Query Analyzer to use its graphical execution plan does not necessarily give the same plan or statistics as when it is executed from Attain, due to cursor type differences; the SQL Profiler or Client Monitor SQL Plan parameter give the most accurate plan).

The diagnostic flag 32 is useful for understanding which properties of a SQL statement are being used for an operation. It is also possible to see how frequently statements are being re-used or re-created. The unique ID can be used to cross reference re-used statements to determine the original SQL statement entry.
P4) Index Hinting Feature Added
Feature
It is now possible to force the SQL Server to use a particular index when execution queries for FIND(‘-‘), FIND(‘+’), FIND(‘=’) and GET statements. This can be utilized as a workaround when the SQL Server’s Query Optimizer picks the wrong index for a query.

Index hinting can avoid situations where the SQL Server query optimizer is choosing an index access method that performs many page reads, giving rise to long running queries (response times of seconds or several minutes). The selection of an alternative index, had it been chosen instead, can give instant 'correct' query executions (response times of milliseconds). The problem usually occurs only for particular tables and indexes, containing certain data spreads and index statistics.

It is possible to direct Navision Attain to use index hinting for such problematic queries, in the rare situations in which it is necessary. When using index hinting, Navision Attain adds commands to the SQL queries sent to the server that will by-pass the normal decision-making of the SQL Server's Query Optimizer and force the server to choose a particular index access method. The feature should be used only after all other possibilities have been exhausted and failed (e.g. updating statistics, optimizing indexes or re-organizing column order in indexes).

The procedure is as follows:

In the database create a table, owned by dbo:

CREATE TABLE [$ndo$dbconfig] (config VARCHAR(512) Not Null)

(There can be additional columns in this table if required. The length of the config column should be large enough to contain the necessary configuration values explained below, but need not be 512)

There is one record in this table for each index hint required.
The index hint syntax is:

IndexHint=<Yes,No>;Company=<company name>;Table=<table name>;Key=<keyfield1,keyfield2,...>; Search Method=<search method list>;Index=<index id>

Each parameter keyword can be localized in the stx file, in the "Driver configuration parameters" section.
• If IndexHint=No, the entry is ignored.
• All keywords must be present or the entry is ignored.
• If a given keyword value cannot be matched the entry is ignored.
• The values for the company, table, key fields and search method can be surrounded by double-quotes, to delimit names containing spaces, commas etc.
• The table name corresponds to that supplied as the name in the Object Designer (not the Caption name).
• The key must contain all key fields that match the required key in the Keys window in the Table Designer.
• The search method contains a list of search methods used in FIND statements, that must be one of '-', '+', '=', or '!' (for the C/AL GET function).
• The index id corresponds to a SQL Server index for the table: 0 represents the primary key; all other ids follow the number included in the index name for all secondary keys. Use the following SQL Server command sp_helpindex to get information about the index id associated with indexes on a given table; In the example the Item Ledger Entry table:

sp_helpindex 'CRONUS Ltd_$Item Ledger Entry'

When Navision Attain executes a query, it checks if the query is for the company, table, current key and search method listed in one of the IndexHint entries. If so, it will hint the index for the supplied index id in that entry.

• If the company is not supplied, then the entry will match all companies.
• If the search method is not supplied then the entry will match all search methods.
• If the index id is not supplied, then the index hinted will be the one corresponding to the supplied key. This is probably the desired behavior in most cases.
• If the company/table/fields are renamed, or the table's keys redesigned, the entries must be manually modified as appropriate.


Examples

To add an index hint to the table, execute the following statement in Query Analyzer.

<PRE>
Insert [$ndo$dbconfig] values
('IndexHint=Yes;Company="CRONUS Ltd.";Table="Item Ledger Entry";Key="Item No.","Variant Code";Search Method="-+";Index=3')
</PRE>

Example 1

<PRE>
IndexHint=Yes;Company="CRONUS Ltd.";Table="Item Ledger Entry";Key="Item No.","Variant Code";Search Method="-+";Index=3
</PRE>

This will hint the use of the [$3]index of the [CRONUS Ltd_$Item Ledger Entry] table for FIND('-') and FIND('+') statements when the "Item No.","Variant Code" key is set as the current key for the "Item Ledger Entry" table in the "CRONUS Ltd." company.


Example 2

<PRE>
IndexHint=No;Company="CRONUS Ltd.";Table="Item Ledger Entry";Key="Item No.","Variant Code";Search Method="-+";Index=3
</PRE>

The entry is disabled.


Example 3

<PRE>
IndexHint=Yes;Company="CRONUS Ltd.";Table="Item Ledger Entry";Key="Item No.","Variant Code";Search Method="-+";Index=
</PRE>

This will hint the use of the "Item No.","Variant Code" index of the [CRONUS Ltd_$Item Ledger Entry] table for FIND('-') and FIND('+') statements when the "Item No.","Variant Code" key is set as the current key for the "Item Ledger Entry" table in the "CRONUS Ltd." company.
This is probably the most frequent use of the index hinting feature.


Example 4

<PRE>
IndexHint=Yes;Company=;Table="Item Ledger Entry";Key="Item No.","Variant Code";Search Method="-+";Index=2
</PRE>

This would apply a hint when this table is queried for all companies (including a non-company table of this name).


Example 5

<PRE>
IndexHint=Yes;Company="CRONUS Ltd.";Table="Item Ledger Entry";Key="Item No.","Variant Code";Search Method=;Index=3
</PRE>

This would apply a hint for all search methods.
Errors fixed

Issues
P5) Performance Improvements
Issue
Several performance improvements are included in this release when running against SQL Server. These are due to extended client-side data caching, and the issuing of SQL statements with optimal attributes or execution plans, whenever possible. The benefits are primarily for read operations, but since batch jobs and modification transactions are also very read-intensive, these areas are also improved depending on the application code.
The Client Monitor tool has new parameters when running against SQL Server that can aid in trouble-shooting and benchmarking. Details of these parameters can be found in section 2.2 of this document.
