Redirecting to NEW blog.

Dear readers, since the start of my blogging idea which was mainly focused on Microsoft Dynamics, whole project evolved and widened initial focus from one ERP to many business systems, business process management and project management. For this new idea and new focus original blog (meaning google blog) has become unsuitable and I needed new platform that would be suitable for new blogging path.

I have chosen new blog to which I will transfer all posts from this one and only for a short time period I'm going to post in parallel (on both blogs) before shutting down this blog for good..

And ofcourse, new blog adress is: Business Systems Insight.

Cheers!

RTC Client Random Crash - SOLVED!

In my last post RTC - Random Crash I talked about Role Tailored Client random crash on whole system, which could not be explained with any, lets just say, logical explanation. It crashed on all network stations except on Server and with SUPER user.

After cooperation with Microsoft and other consultants, we still didn't find root cause of this problem. Even after applying all newest hotfixes and installing latest build of NAV 2009 everything still crashed.

After a while, whole network crashed. We managed to trace root problem and it led to blade server UTP port. Problem was with UTP cabel which, somehow, got unplugged from port and disrupted ERP data flow. After checking cables and plugging in the cable, as it should have been plugged in, RTC stopped crashing and users were able to work properly.

There is one immediate question: Did classic client work all this time? Answer is: Yes.
As NAV 2009 RTC client requires more bandwidth than classic client, users managed to continue their everday work in classic client.

This goes to show that it isn't always problem with software.
