New Features, Fixes, and Enhancements - Lasernet FO Connector 6.15

Lasernet FO Connector 6.15 does not contain any major adjustments, and the focus is still on stability and compatibility.

A new Default Configuration for Lasernet 10 has been released along with Lasernet FO Connector 6.15.

The new Default Configuration also works with the previous versions of Lasernet FO Connector series 6.x. Version 6.15 is not required to support Lasernet 10 as all adjustments are managed within the Lasernet configuration.

The new Default Configuration supports loading the following information from Lasernet 10:

• Lookup of connections in Lasernet FO Connector

• Get printers into Lasernet FO Connector 6.x

• Get printer profiles into Lasernet FO Connector 6.x

• Get Customers ports into Lasernet FO Connector 6.x

• Get Overlays into Lasernet FO Connector 6.x

• Preview of overlays in Lasernet FO Connector 6.x

It is currently not possible to create Printer profiles through the new Lasernet Print Service, which was introduced with Lasernet 10. However, it is still possible to create Printer profiles for the module Printer Output (OnPrem) in Lasernet 10, similar to Lasernet 9.

It is possible to load the Printer profiles created for the module Printer Output.

Adjustments of Lasernet configuration to support Lasernet 10

The module GetMetadataInformation is replaced by the module GetMetadataInformationLN10.

The module GetMetadataInformationLN10 uses the following scripts (and criteria) to load information from Lasernet 10 into Lasernet FO Connector/Dynamics 365 FO:

GetMetadataInformationLN10 is replacing the existing GetMetadataInformation within the XML Transformer/Dynamics365 Transformer.

227499@LAC365FO – Print Button on Lasernet Preview Screen does not result in printing

In previous versions, printing through Lasernet within the preview did not work as expected.

This has been fixed.

223936@LAC365FO – Range is being applied to nextLink URL, which already contains range

The following error occurred when running an OData report, which contains a range added within the Query wizard:

Error

Bad Request quotes(edd71bf8-3d17-ea11-a811-000d3a65412a)/quote_details) }}?$filter=producttypecode%20eq%201?$filter=producttypecode eq 1 Error code: 0x0 Message: Syntax error at position 21 in 'producttypecode eq 1?$filter=producttypecode eq 1'.

This has been fixed.

227317@LAC365FO – Table LACReportReplacementMapping is in Table group Miscellaneous

In previous versions, it was not possible to use the following tables in Cross-company data sharing in standard Dynamics 365 FO. The tables were grouped under Miscellaneous as a table group, which caused the issue in relation to Cross-company data sharing:

• LACReportReplacementMapping

• LACCultureInfo

• LACExpressionFunction

• LACMenuTable

• LACReportGroupReport

• LACWHSLicensePlateLabelRef

• LACWHSLicensePlateLabelSetup

The following warning was displayed when trying to use one of the tables for Cross-company data sharing:

Warning

Table LACReportReplacementMapping is a Miscellaneous table as specified by the table group and may not be shared unless its Data Sharing Type is Duplicate.

In Lasernet FO Connector 6.15, the table group for the listed tables has been changed from Miscellaneous into Group.

228645@LAC365FO – Data missing in XML

In previous versions, reusing the same table multiple times within a Query would cause an empty output when disabling the first use of the table. The issue is caused by standard Dynamics 365 FO (kernel), which tries to optimize the Query and skips all instances of a table once it has been disabled.

A workaround was removing the disabled data sources. This would avoid the kernel optimizing the Query and avoid executing the disabled data sources.

This issue has been fixed in Lasernet FO Connector 6.15 by not applying the disabled data sources (tables) when building the Query at runtime.

The following would cause missing records from the data sources PurchAgreementHeader_Enable, AgreementHeader_Enabled, and VendTable_Enabled:

228681@LAC365FO – Form link condition does not work on replacement reports, but works on Query reports

In previous versions,  it was not possible to use Form as an entry within the condition (Expression).

This has been fixed.

Expression:Forms.CustInvoiceJournal.CustInvoiceJour.RefNum:NAME<>Salesorder

24895@LAC365FO – Check loading of printer-profiles

In previous versions, loading Printer profiles from Lasernet would add the same Printer profiles to all the printers and not only the printers in Lasernet containing the profiles.

This was only an issue when loading from the Form Printer profiles, while everything worked as expected when loading from the Forms Lasernet server or Lasernet printers.  

229365@LAC365FO – Feature Request: Translation of Lasernet Print Destinations

The Lasernet destinations were not properly translated for some of the languages within the printer-dialog, such as Spanish (es).

The translation is added for the following languages within the Printer dialog:

• Es

• Nl

• de-CH

• fr-CH

• fr

• de

Client Language es within the Printer dialog:

230415@LAC365FO – Lasernet Query is rounding values in XML when selecting more than one documents to print

In previous versions, multi-selection of records could cause an issue with the formatting of the output, such as numbers shown/rounding.

This has been fixed.

The following image gives an example in which the same value should be displayed for both records but was not properly displayed for the second record:
