If you are running Microsoft Business Notifications with
Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can associate XMLport events with an
XMLport. Users who run Business Notifications can then subscribe to
these events. For example, you could define the event Sales
Order Created for a Sales Order XMLport. You
will usually design special XMLports for the Business Notifications
system.
Events
XMLport events are called from codeunits to raise an event to
Business Notifications. The XMLport then sends an XML document to
the Business Notifications system. Based on the content of the XML
document and the event raised, the Business Notifications system
will send event information to subscribers. For example, in the
case of the Sales Order Created event, it will check
to see who has subscribed to this event and send them e-mail
notification that a sales order has been created.
The events that you define can be more detailed than simply
Sales Order Created. For example, you can define an
event that is raised when the total amount of a sales order exceeds
a certain amount.
Example
You want to raise an event that provides notification when a
customer is blocked, that is, when Blocked changes
from false to true. You therefore design an XMLport
that contains the necessary data, for example, the ID and Name of
the customer, and the date when the change occurred. You define an
event called Blocked in XMLport Event Designer and you
declare the XMLport as a local variable called
CustXMLDoc. Finally, you add the following code to the
OnModify trigger in the Customer table:
 Copy Code |

|---|---|
IF Blocked = TRUE THEN IF Blocked <> xRec.Blocked THEN CustXMLDoc.Blocked(); |
