Activating The Insight Actions

The Adapter for Dynamics NAV accesses the information in Dynamics NAV via NAS. This mechanism allows for reading information about tables and their content, but not the information about codeunits and their properties.

The custom information used as custom actions must be placed in Dynamics NAV tables so that TIBCO Scribe® Insight can access this information. Therefore, the following tables have been created in Microsoft Dynamics NAV to contain data about codeunits, that is, custom actions, and the parameters required to run these actions:

1. Table 14094200 Scribe Custom Actions
2. Table 14094201 Scribe Action Parameters

After importing the Common<XXXX>.fob file, these two tables are empty. You need to fill the tables with the data about codeunits and their parameters.

To populate the Custom Action tables

1. Launch the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment.
2. Click Tools > Object Designer. The Object Designer appears.
3. Click Codeunit and scroll to the Scribe Create Default Actions codeunit (14094200).
4. Select this codeunit, then click Run.

   Note: If you are prompted to connect to your company before the Dynamics NAV client opens, click OK.

5. If you are prompted to overwrite your current custom actions, click Yes.

   These tables are populated and you can view/select the Insight Custom actions under the Adapter for Dynamics NAV Data Objects and Stored Procedures.
