When we develop in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we use a Developer License that has permissions to the standard objects different of the license of the final customer.
Using the customer’s license you may encounter error messages as follows:
You do not have the following permissions on TableData {TableName}: {Read/Insert/Modify/Delete}
An example could be running a Codeunit that modify a record in the standard table 6550 Whse. Item Tracking Line.
Considerations:
I’m pretty sure that most of you after will receive an error like this, first will search the table number of the one in the error message. Then you will realize that is in the range of the standard objects (e.g. 6550) and you will start thinking why this error didn’t happen during your tests.
Well, the answer is obvious if you think that probably you tested using the Developer license and that the Customer’s license has different permission to access to the standard objects.
Causes:
Create a new Page using the wizard of type List to show all the fields of the system table Permission Range.
Then run it with the Customer’s license and filter for the object in the error message (i.e. TableData 6550)
As you can see, this TableData in the Customer’s license has Insert/Modify/Delete permission as Indirect. This means that you CANNOT do those action directly in that table.
Note: Remind that if you are saving the license in the database or you upload a new license you must restart the instance service.
In the meantime you realized (maybe debugging) that the code that caused this error is in a Codeunit. Bingo!!!
Solution:
Open the Codeunit in design and assign in the Properties the correct Permissions to the tables

Recently I did a training with materials offline using Adobe Flash.
Sources are usually in a compressed file or a CD/DVD drive, and when I ran the starting web page using Microsoft Internet Explorer I’ve received the following error message:
Adobe Flash Player Security
Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
{PATH}
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
{PATH}
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart the application after changing your settings.
OK Settings…
Note:
Cause:
As the error message itself is saying, Adobe Flash player stopped the operation because a local file wants to communicate with an “Internet-enabled location” that in our case is local but it could be on internet and for this reason dangerous (“unsafe operation”).

According to the MSDN documentation in the link BigText Data Type
"cannot be shown in a message window"
This example requires that you create the following variables:
| Name | DataType | Subtype |
| varBigText | BigText |
It is true that you cannot insert the BigText in a message
MESSAGE(varBigText);
You can show the content of the variable easily using the FORMAT Function (Code, Text) to convert the BigText in a String.
MESSAGE(FORMAT(varBigText));

In Micrososoft Dynamics NAV, tables with property DataPerCompany = No are stored in SQL in multiple tables having the company name as prefix, than $ and the name.
Example, the Customer table in Cronus Company:
CRONUS UK Ltd_$Customer
The following T-SQL Script retrieves the list of the companies, loop through them and use the Company Name as prefix (@pref) to run a query (@sql_ext).
DECLARE @pref nvarchar(30) DECLARE @sql_ext nvarchar(max) DECLARE company_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT replace(Name,'.','_') FROM Company OPEN company_cursor FETCH NEXT FROM company_cursor INTO @pref WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN SELECT @sql_ext = N'SELECT * FROM [dbo].[' + @pref + '$Inquiry Note] WHERE DATALENGTH([Note]) < 4' EXEC sp_executesql @sql_ext FETCH NEXT FROM company_cursor INTO @pref END

When you create a new Instance using the command New-NAVServerInstance it will set the Startup Type of the NAV Service as “Automatic” by default.
I haven’t found any NAV command to change it, so let us think about NAV Service as any other Windows Service.
In PowerShell there is a command Set-Service that allows to change an existing Service.
NAV Service names have the following format
MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$<ServerInstance>
where <ServerInstance> is the name of the NAV Instance
So running the following command we can change the Startup Type to Automatic, Manual or Disabled.
Set-Service –Name "MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer`$DynamicsNAV100" –StartupType Manual
This example will set the NAV Service for the Server Instance DynamicsNAV100 to Manual.
Unfortunately -StartupType parameter does not have a value for Automatic (Delayed Start)
So it seams a bit tricky but just looking into the register I’ve noted that the other services that had Automatic (Delayed Start) as Startup Type have a REG_DWORD value called “DelayedAutoStart” with value 1 under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\
So the idea is use the previous command to set the Startup Type to Automatic then add REG_DWORD via script
Set-Service –Name "MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer`$DynamicsNAV100" –StartupType Automatic Set-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer`$DynamicsNAV100" -Name "DelayedAutostart" -Value 1 -Type DWORD
In reality we could setup everything from the registry
Set-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer`$DynamicsNAV100" -Name "Start" -Value 2 -Type DWORD Set-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer`$DynamicsNAV100" -Name "DelayedAutostart" -Value 1 -Type DWORD
NOTE 1: Both scripts will work only if the current Startup Type is different of Automatic
NOTE 2: “DelayedAutostart” DWORD will have effect only if you setup the Service Type as Automatic.

Searching on internet I’ve found a few of posts with solution for this error, they where quite old (2014) and the cause of the error was that account used by the NAV Server was not db_owner in the database. The solution was to grant that user to db_owner.
Well the issue now is that the account used to run the NAV Server in my database is db_owner.
What is the error? What is the meaning of this error message?
The Microsoft Dynamics NAV server is currently not ready to serve requests. Try again later or contact your system administrator.
To be honest this error message did not help me to understand what was the issue, even in the Event Log there was not extra info.
Do not ask me the meaning of this error message and I do not know yet the causes but I found a solution (this is the mission of my website, share my solutions).
Solution:
Navigate to the following folder
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\<NAVVersionNumber>\Server
and delete the folder with the name of NAV Instance of which you had the error. Then folders have the same name of the Service, with the following format
MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$<ServerInstance>
where <ServerInstance> is the name of the NAV Instance.
At the end restart the NAV Instance.
Note: Don’t be worry, after you will restart the instance, this folder will be recreated.

I’ve created a new NAV Instance, setup the correct database name then tried to run the Service and I’ve received the following error message:
Error
—————————
ServerInstance ‘MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$NewInstance’ failed to reach status ‘Running’ on this server due to the following error: ‘Cannot start the service.’. Additional information may be in the event log of the server.
—————————
OK
—————————
As suggested by the error message I’ve opened the Event Log to look for additional information and I’ve found the following error message:
Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: ‘Tenant’.
What does this error mean? Well the error message does not help us to fix this issue but I’ve found a solution and I’m here to share it with you (this is the mission of my website, share my solutions).
Cause:
The new instance is setup to use a port (Management Services Port, Client Services Port, SOAP Services Port or OData Services Port) that is already in use but an existing running NAV Instance. In my case was the SOAP Services Port.
Solution:
Change the port number that is already used by another running NAV Instance or stop the other service using this port.

There are some objects locked in the database. You must unlock these objects before upgrading the database.
—————————
OK
—————————
Solution:
Execute the following SQL Query, remind to USE your database name (replace NAVDatabase)
USE [NAVDatabase] UPDATE [Object] SET [Locked] = 0, [Locked By] = '' WHERE [Locked] = 1
then close the query window (otherwise the connection will still remain active).

A Job Queue Entry running the Codeunit 1509 Notification Entry Dispatcher fails with the following error message:
The email address “” is not valid.
Cause:
The User ID that runs the Job Queue Entry does not exist in the User Setup or it has blank email address.
Solution:
Verify that the User ID that runs the Job Queue Entry exists in the User Setup table, if not create it, then populate the E-Mail field.

I’m changing a NAV Instance to use a new certificate but the service fails to run, looking at the Event Viewer I can find the following error message:
The service <ServiceName> failed to start. This could be caused by a configuration error. Detailed error information: System.ArgumentException: It is likely that certificate ‘<CertificateSubject>’ may not have a private key that is capable of key exchange or the process may not have access rights for the private key.
Solution:
Run MMC, click on File -> Add/Remove Snap-in…, then add Certificates, selecting Computer Account and Local Computer
NOTE: Identify the relevant certificate and verify that a small yellow key is shown in the icon, if not it means you don’t have the private key for this certificate so you need to import the certificate with the Private Key.
Right-click on the certificate then select All Tasks -> Manage Private Keys
Click Add in the permissions window
Add the Service Account that run the NAV Service (in my case it was “Network Service”).
