New Features, Fixes, and Enhancements - Lasernet FO Connector 5.2
The primary focus of Lasernet FO Connector 5.2.0.21 is stability.
Lasernet FO Connector 6.14.0 supports Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations PU43 (10.0.19).
Using previous versions of Lasernet FO Connector caused issues with PU43 (10.0.19) as the Lasernet destination was not shown for all reports – both an issue with the printer settings dialog and the Lasernet print buttons.
Stability
Support for PU43 (10.0.19)
Lasernet FO Connector contains the new option Auto detect patterns.
Lasernet connector uses the “call stack” in standard Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations to identify if Lasernet should be available as the destination.
This call stack has changed for standard Dynamics PU43/10.0.19 and, therefore, also requires changes in Lasernet FO Connector (and PRN as well).
The feature Auto detect patterns is added to support any versions of Dynamics, ensuring that Lasernet FO Connector is both backward and forward compatible.
Use Auto detect patterns if the Lasernet destinations are not shown as expected.
The system will automatically be initialized when running a report for the first time, but will require a re-initialization by using Auto detect patterns when upgrading to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations PU43 or newer.
The fields Stack form pattern and Stack class pattern save information about detecting Lasernet as a destination.
Remember to use the Auto detect patterns for each of the Companies/Legal entities within Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations if Lasernet is missing as a destination or when upgrading to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations PU43 or newer.
Auto detect patterns is located in Lasernet > Setup > Parameters.
Stack form pattern and Stack class pattern are made visible to provide a workaround in case Microsoft ® makes additional changes to the “call stack” in future versions of Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.
221459@LAC365FO – EcoResProductCategory somehow is referenced in Retail and in PU43 requires Lasernet reference to Retail
A reference to the model Retail is required for the model Lasernet when using Dynamics Finance and Operations PU43/10.0.19.
This is added in Lasernet FO Connector 5.2.0.21.
