RIM and XML problem

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

Hi,

Currently i’m doing some r&d on RIM and i can’t seem to get past step 1 which is setup questionnaire.

I’ve downloaded the RIM 2.0 W1.rar from this site and imported into a NAV5.0 Asia Pacific database. It seems to me like the xml import is not working and it says automation is unable to be instantiated. I have MS-XML 6.0 installed and i found out that from my custom controls list there’s no Microsoft XML parser control. So i tried to add back in the msxml.dll into the list by using browse and it gives a success message but i can’t seem to find it anywhere on the custom control list after that and i’ve been getting the same problem of unable to instantiate the automation.

In addition, anybody know where i can get the templates for Nav5.0 standard questionnaire xml files. As i tried to import the xml files that came with RIM2.0 with the 5.0 company setup but the system will give an error saying that it’s not a valid file. therefore, i imported in the objects of RIM2.0 so that i could use the xml files bundled together with it and i’m getting errors of unable to instantiate the automation and i’ve tried with Nav4.0 SP1 as well and it gives the same error message. I think the cause is i can’t register the msxml.dll with navision as it doesn’t appear in the list of custom controls.

Thanks alot

If you install NAV version 5.0 it already has RIM in the product. Maybe it is because you have then imported something else that you are getting problems with the XML control? Or maybe you haven’t done the NAV 5.0 install on the machine you are using?

When you create a new company in version 5.0 the system will create the necessary tables and will then run a Company Setup form where you get to pick the company type.

You are picking from the types that exist in the Configuration.xml file you will find in your Company Settings folder off the CSIDE Client folder.

When you pick one, the RIM tool will then import the data from the relavent industry-specific xml file (i.e. HighTech.xml which is also in the Company Setup folder) into your newly created company.

This imports a whole bunch of standard settings including the Setup Questionnaire. You can then launch the Setup Questionnaire option from Administration, Company Setup and if you want export the questions to XML or Excel format.
