Hello! An interesting question - has anyone ever done some automated (demon) processes in Navision? The problem is that whenever an xml-file is created in specific directory, navision has to create a sales order out of it and print it out to a printer. So far i have not found any realiable way to make this happen. Any ideas?
Well, there are some options you can chose: Easy: Create a Form using the OnTimer Trigger to look up the XML periodically and process it Easy too: Create a Codeunit using the Navision Timer Automation to look up the XML periodically and process it Medium: Create a job for the “Job Scheduler” (Service Management) Tricky: Create a Codeunit using Socket Bus Adapter as Automation. Open a TCP/IP port and listen on it for XML files. On event, import the XML and process it Your choice … [:P]
You can also use the NAS to run a codeunit that looks in the directory periodically. Just a note - NAS cannot run a report or a dataport. If you can, upgrade to the 4.0 client and use the XMLPorts… Django

You can probably record the demo before hand so you don’t have to replicate it. If printing is the problem, why don’t you set your default printer to print to a .PDF file?
