Transformation of Forms(of NAV 2009) into Pages

Ammad · 2008-11-20

Hi,

I want to transform Custom Forms of NAV 2009 into Pages in order to run them at a Role Tailored Client. For the sake of it, I had used Transformation Tool Kit but after going through a series of steps. I am unable to do it.

The steps for Transformation, which I follwed are,

1) Open a classic client, go to Object Designer and import the files DevTool.fob and TIF.fob from the folder TransformationTool\TIF Editor\
2) Create a new form in NAV, as simple as possible (or you can also use your existing forms). For example a Card form based on the customer table, with just a few fields on it. This is the form you want to transform.

Setup and use the Transformation tool:

3) Run, form 97000 "Transformation Forms"

4) Click Setup -> "Import PageType - FormType mapping", and select the file TransformationTool\TIF Editor\FormToPagetypeMapping.txt.

5) Click Setup again -> Get Forms. Filter on Type = Form, and ID = the new form(or existing one), then click OK. This gets the form(s) that you want to transform.

6) In the FormType field, select "Card" ("Form with TabControl only and a source table").

Run the transformation:

7) Export the settings from form 97000: Click on Functions -> Create Transformation Input "Transform Pages". You must export it to the TransformationTool folder, and it must be called TransformPages.xml.
8 ) From Object Designer, export the form (File -> Export) as xml.You must export it to the folder TransformationTool, and it must be called Forms.xml.

You now have the form you want to transform, and the meta-data that tells the TranformationTool how to transform it.

9) Run the file FormTransformation.exe from the TransformationTool folder. This generates a new file called Pages.xml. It also logs any progress or errors in the file Transformation.log.

Import the new page:

10) Back in NAV (classic client): Go to Object Designer, and import the file Pages.xml, and then compile it.

If all steps ran without any errors, you have now transformed your form into a page which can be displayed in the rolebased client.

Now, the Pages.XML is generated all the times without any errors but when I am going to run them into a Role Tailored Client, it gives error, i.e., "The Object MetaData does not exist."

Can anyone help me out to successfully run my 'Custom Forms' into Role Tailored Client or any other idea of "Transformation of Forms into Pages for Role Tailored Client" ?

what u have to do is simply.
1.Create a form let say 50000 Customer Test based on table 18 with some fields.
2. Now after saving it go to File->Export & save this form as Forms.xml in (I have put it on the same folder of where this Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Tools.FormTransformation.exe exist)
3. Now run this Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Tools.FormTransformation.exe this will create Pages.xml & other Transformation.log & TransformationLog.xml file
check whether it's run successfuly
4. Now go to ur navision back & here import Pages.xml from the same folder.
This will create the Page with 50000 no.
Now you can run this by Start->Run
Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=50000

Hope its work.

Dear Ashish,

It gives same error again, "The Object Metadata does not exist. Identification fields and values: Object Type ='Page', Object ID ='50003' "

Ashish, Have you ever tried it? Because, may be it was another issue.
If there is another solution of this error then plz also tell me.

Thanks,
Ammad

I guess you need to compile the imported page (F11)

Ammad · 2008-11-21

Yes, I did. I compiled that imported page but Results were Same.

Check, that table "2000000071 Object Metadata" exists in your database...

freddy.dk · 2008-11-22

Can you start the RoleTailored Client at all?

Ammad · 2008-11-24

Yes Kamil,
I have checked it again that "Object MetaData Table" is existing in my databse.

Yes Freddy, I can start the Role Tailored Client.

One thing new that I experienced there, which I want to share with all of you guys,
i.e. When I made some new page there and then run it into Role Tailored Client, it gives me required output and running succesfully but when I transformed any Form into Page and then run it into Role Tailored Client then it gives me that error "The Object MetaData does not exist."
and
One thing more, if I delete that page which I made manually and give ID of that page to the transform one then instead of showing error, it gives the last page result means new transform page does not updated itself on Role Tailored Client and it just gives the last succesful result of that ID.

If you restart the Service, can you open the transformed page then?

Tomas · 2008-11-25

Have you selected correct type of form/page?
Usually, this error message comes up when you select List instead of Card.

Ammad · 2008-11-26

Thanks for Replying..

Yes Thomas, I have idea about it, for this purpose I experimented to change the type of page, in those objects where error were coming but the result was same.

I tried testing a simple form transformation to pages but it didn't work out either.
In Classic Client, i did the following:-
- Created a blank form (Test Form)
- Added a menu button (Test) with menu items (Cut, Copy, Paste)
- Saved and compiled the form.
- Exported the form to TransformationTool folder as Forms.xml

In TransformationTool folder, i did
- Run the 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Tools.FormTransformation.exe'
- It generated Pages.xml and Transformation.log with no errors.

In Classic Client, i did the following:-
- Imported Pages.xml
- Compiled 'Test Form' in Page Designer.

If i open 'Test Form' in Page Designer, it shows blank. I don't know where the menubutton Test disappeared in the transformation process.

I now tried running this page from the command prompt > Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=50000

It showed blank page in View mode.

Note that the above scenario is something similar that i faced modifying existing form and then transforming it to pages. In RTC, when i view these pages, it does not show me any changes.

I am not sure how to resolve this.

Hemant

Even Iam getting the following error while going for fully customized form :

" The object Metadata does not exists. Identification fields and values : Object Type = 'Page',
Object ID = '50000' ".

Can anyone tell me how to rectify the same.

Awaiting Expert's precious replies......

Thanks in advance.....

Menu buttons become actions in the Role Tailored Client - you won't see a button on the form.
Reg. the metadata does not exist - I trust you did all the things you read in this post?
(Export, Transform, Import, Compile) and you can see the page in the page definition in the page designer?

Yes I did export,transform,import,compile. I could see the page generated in the page menu in object designer too........

Guys, I have resolved that issue. Actually it also belongs so much to new upgraded classic client license. I did the same in new license and all the pages are generated but one important thing which you have to keep in mind, that is you have to tell the correct form of your Forms means either thay are Card Type or List Type while you are going to export them.

Ammad

Hey Ammad,

Can u just tell me the steps you did to get it right ?? Kindly help me out.....

Thanks in advance....

Ammad · 2008-12-18

Sure..

Ok, What you have to do is simply

1. First you have to get new license of Classic Client from Microsoft.
2. Then update that license from your current one and after that you have to find "Transformation Forms" which will be present on Object ID "177000", there.
3. Just repeat same steps as I told in my first Post.
4. One thing which you have to keep in mind i.e. you have to tell right page type to your Form which you want to transform otherwise it can again give that "MetaData Error".

Ammad Ghani

Ammad,

Thanks a lot for the reply......Right now Iam facing another problem.....Please take a note that I have got an updated license from Micorsoft......
The problem Iam facing right now is that Iam able to connect to my classic client with sql option using windows authentication but iam unable to connect to my RTC. Iam getting the following error each time I try to connect my RTC :
"The program can not create a connection to the server. Do you want to continue ?"
Do you have any idea about this error ? If so please help me out in rectifying this. I woul really appreciate your help for the same.
I would check with your above post once this problem gets rectified.
Thanks Once again.....

you said you compiled the object, but try to design the page and save it (with compile)...it worked for me...a plain compilation without saving is useless

anyway...i translated a simple unbound form that I use to run pages from nav (as run does not work for pages) and i noticed that the action related to the command button of the form, has as a caption, the name of the command button instead of the caption... :?

also, i receive these errors:
queryreplace() method is obsolete
and after commenting it
shell() method is obsolete

i suppose that they can't be used in rtc...

here's the object

you said you compiled the object, but try to design the page and save it (with compile)...it worked for me...a plain compilation without saving is useless

anyway...i translated a simple unbound form that I use to run pages from nav (as run does not work for pages) and i noticed that the action related to the command button of the form, has as a caption, the name of the command button instead of the caption... :?

also, i receive these errors:
queryreplace() method is obsolete
and after commenting it
shell() method is obsolete

i suppose that they can't be used in rtc...

I've encountered this error a few times. I'm not entirely sure why it happens or really what causes it, but I just simply export/import teh affected object(s) in FOB format and it seems to work fine after that.

thanks in advance

The problems occures if you Diployed The page on the classic client
Just Diployed the Page On SQL server Database (Server Database),And Run The Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=<Page Id > It will work Fine.

I have created a very simple form.
trying to convert it into a page, it gets converted ,compiled it also.
But when I am tryin to run it from Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=50000, it is giving me the error:
The object Metadata does not exist.Identification fields and values, Object Type:Page, Object ID :50000.
What should I do to run the page???
Checked the licence.
Repeated whole process.

With SQL it runs fine.

Hi,

I want to transform Custom Forms of NAV 2009 into Pages in order to run them at a Role Tailored Client. For the sake of it, I had used Transformation Tool Kit but after going through a series of steps. I am unable to do it.

The steps for Transformation, which I follwed are,

1) Open a classic client, go to Object Designer and import the files DevTool.fob and TIF.fob from the folder TransformationTool\TIF Editor\
2) Create a new form in NAV, as simple as possible (or you can also use your existing forms). For example a Card form based on the customer table, with just a few fields on it. This is the form you want to transform.

Setup and use the Transformation tool:

3) Run, form 97000 "Transformation Forms"

4) Click Setup -> "Import PageType - FormType mapping", and select the file TransformationTool\TIF Editor\FormToPagetypeMapping.txt.

5) Click Setup again -> Get Forms. Filter on Type = Form, and ID = the new form(or existing one), then click OK. This gets the form(s) that you want to transform.

6) In the FormType field, select "Card" ("Form with TabControl only and a source table").

Run the transformation:

7) Export the settings from form 97000: Click on Functions -> Create Transformation Input "Transform Pages". You must export it to the TransformationTool folder, and it must be called TransformPages.xml.
8 ) From Object Designer, export the form (File -> Export) as xml.You must export it to the folder TransformationTool, and it must be called Forms.xml.

You now have the form you want to transform, and the meta-data that tells the TranformationTool how to transform it.

9) Run the file FormTransformation.exe from the TransformationTool folder. This generates a new file called Pages.xml. It also logs any progress or errors in the file Transformation.log.

Import the new page:

10) Back in NAV (classic client): Go to Object Designer, and import the file Pages.xml, and then compile it.

If all steps ran without any errors, you have now transformed your form into a page which can be displayed in the rolebased client.

Now, the Pages.XML is generated all the times without any errors but when I am going to run them into a Role Tailored Client, it gives error, i.e., "The Object MetaData does not exist."

Can anyone help me out to successfully run my 'Custom Forms' into Role Tailored Client or any other idea of "Transformation of Forms into Pages for Role Tailored Client" ?
