Example of Request XML 

The request is likely most interesting for development. The request will give you an overview of which values are available to you and what they are named.

Here are a number of fields i.e. "MyDate", "MyText" visible in a request for an Unplanned Function named "MyUnplanned".

Request example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<request name="PostAdhocRegistration" created="2020-02-14T15:24:24+01:00" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Dynamics/Mobile/2007/04/Documents/Request">
  <requestData name="PostAdhocRegistration">
    <MyDate>14-02-2020</MyDate>
    <MyText>2</MyText>
    <MyDecimal>4</MyDecimal>
    <MyDateStep>14-02-2020</MyDateStep>
    <MyTextStep>2</MyTextStep>
    <MyDecimalStep>4</MyDecimalStep>
    <RegistrationType>MyUnplanned</RegistrationType>
  </requestData>
</request>

View Error Call Stack and Debug

See Debugging.

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

1. Select Process >  Process Document
   
   
   

2. Select "Copy Details"
   
   

3. Paste the text into a Text Editor like "Notepad" (Ctrl+V)
