Use case
A developer can:
- Inspect XML values and know whether AL code has taken effect
- Reprocess failed mobile documents and initiate debugging
- Inspect Error Call Stacks
Request and Response
When the mobile device communicates with Business Central, an XML document is sent to the system.
The XML contains the required instructions for Business Central to perform
- It is always the Mobile device that initiates the communication with a Request
- Business Central generates a Response
Viewing XML Request and Response
Open the Mobile Document Queue List.
Two large text fields display the current entry's Request and Response XML.

handle and inspect failed mobile documents. |
Finding the right mobile document
Isolate for the right entry, using columns like Document Type, Registration Type or Status Filters
View Error Message and Call Stack
The Response XML contains both the Error message and Error call stack.
How to interpret the Error Call Stack
The beginning of the error call stack is where the process failed. This allows you to:
Isolate the source of the erroneous code
Identify where to set breakpoints for debugging, see Debugging
Third-party applications can be the cause of the error
The call stack can point to non-MobileWMS extensions. Look for "ExtensionName by Publisher".
This points to an issue outside of Mobile WMS. In Example, the Error Call Stack points to the Extension ShipIT 365 by IDYN B.V.
Share the Error and Call Stack with Tasklet

View Error Call Stack and Debug
When a request ends in Status: Error, it will remain so until it succeeds. Subsequent attempts from mobile will only attempt to re-process this original request.
You can use this to inspect the Call stack and initiate debugging.
Go to the "Mobile Document Queue"-page.
- Select the latest Document with Status = Error
- Select Document > Show Response XML
or - Select Process > Process Document
You can also re-run the process and get the error on the screen
