Description
Use the document queue to inspect the XML data being sent to and from the Mobile devices. Also, error call stacks can be found here.
Overview
Use case
When development it can be very useful to inspect the XML to know:
- Has the code taken effect?
- Which values are available in the request you are reading
Flow
- It is always Mobile that initiates the communication with a Request
- Business Central is always the responding party
Inspect Mobile XML Communication
Go to the "Mobile Document Queue"-page.
- Select Document
- Select Document > Show Request XML
or - Select Document > Show Response XML
- Select Document > Show 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.
<?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>
Inspect 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.
