How to generate Data Matrix Barcode from Nav 2015?

I searched a lot regarding the Data Matrix Code generation from Nav 2015 but could not get any proper solution for that though, i got some code from below link but still, some of the automation variables is not there in Navision, so I need you guys help on this, is there any Code Unit or any object or any other way in Nav..

It depends on how much time you have to get the barcode.
If it's a back end job, like a report, you can call a command line tool to create the barcode and import the generated image file into a BLOB of a table variable. This table field is then printable within the report.
Another way I use in production is running a web service that creates the barcode and then let Navision create a web page that is opened in a browser window..
I suggest using a dll (written in C# with ZXING.NET) to generate it and then importing it in NAV.

Code Coverage Results: Export to Excel

There is a 'Code Coverage Results' window in Visual Studio which allows you to view the contents of a *.coverage file (generated by one of the VS performance tools). I was wondering if there was a way to export the Code Coverage Results to excel for further analysis. The tools in the Code Coverage Results window seem somewhat limited and was wondering if I was missing something.
I've queried quite a few statements and cannot find the answer I was hoping to find. There were three main questions which did not seem to have answers:
Can you search the data within the code coverage results? The typical VS search will not allow you to search within the Code Coverage Results window
Can the Code Coverage Results be exported to excel, or as a *.csv file? If not, then can the *.coveragexml file (which seems to be the only export option) be imported into excel in a way that i would get a table similar to the one in the Code Coverage Results window?
Is there an 'Expand All'/'Collapse All' button for the Code Coverage Results window? It would be nice to be able to expand all of the Code Coverage Result tree if possible ... or at least be able to expand a group of branches which have been expanded.
Any suggestions/input would be useful.
What you can do is this:
Export to XML (I renamed it to ...coverage.xml so it is recognized as an XML file but not sure if that's necessary)
Load with Visual Studio
Format in VS (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D)
Now you can open this in Notepad++ for example (or any other good XML viewer). There you choose to close or open all text blocks.

SAS Forecast Studio code download

SAS Forecast Studio is a programming tool that is used for business intelligence forecasting. It (presumably) generates SAS code on the back end that then produces the output.
Is there any way to get access to the generated SAS code that was used to produce the output, and save it as a .SAS file, a program in the project, or to the clipboard?
Late answer, but I hope it can be useful for someone;
The SAS code is available from the Forecast Studio.
Access your project, click "Project" in the menu bar and select "SAS Code..."

How to test ILOG JRules Ruleset without using DVS?

I'm trying to use JRules BRMS 7.1 for a project. And I found out that DVS has some limitation in testing Ruleset.
It is that it cannot test the content in collections of complex type in Excel scenario file templates.
But I understand it is normal as that kind of content is too complex for an Excel table format.
So anyone has any idea what is the best way to test a ruleset that need tons of test cases with lots of complex type input without using DVS?
If developers are doing the testing, then use JUnit with an embedded rule engine. If non-technical users need to perform testing, it may be simplest to upgrade to WODM 7.5 which does not have this limitation. If that is not an option, then it is possible to use JRules 7.1 DVS, but it is somewhat complex and involves creating a separate wrapper rule project that takes the output collections as input and in its XOM, performs the comparison with the actual results.
Raj Rao is correct, you can use array as expected results (input is easy) but you will have to use hidden JRules API and it is painful anyway.
JUnit or 7.5 is the answer.
Unless you want to pay IBM to do it, even so they may say it is not possible because it is not detailled anywhere :(
Cheers
PS: BTW, arrays of complex types as input is easy for sure and well documented, I think.
If you have deployed your rules as a HTDS service to RES, then you could use SoapUI to test the HTDS web service.
SoapUI allows you to set up test cases that can be used to test different scenarios.
To validate the rules using Decision Validation Services, you create an Excel scenario file template that you populate with scenarios to test.
Before generating the Excel scenario file template, you must check that your project does not contain any errors or warnings that could prevent the generation of the Excel file.
step1:in your rule explorer select your project in rule project enable the dvs part click check point and make sure that you don't have any errors.
2:create scenario file click next give the name for test project name.xls.
3:pass the values in scenario and expected results in expected results column.
4:you can test multiple scenarios at a time.
5:now close and save the excel file.
6:run configuration right click dvs excel file give any name for test
7:in excel file field click browse and select xls file
8.in rule project field select your rule project
9:in HTML report field select your project and click OK.
10:click apply and run
11:in rule studio right click on your project and click refresh
12:the HTML file will be generated in project.
13:right click and open with web browser and observe the result of your scenarios.
14:you have successfully enabled dvs

How do I plot the output from a C++ Win32 console app?

I have a small Win32 console application which is essentially a test harness. I read data in, do some processing on it and currently just output some of the numbers to the console. This isn't a huge problem - I can get an idea of what the data looks like, but it would be much easier to analyse if there was a way of getting that information into a graph for each run of the software.
I've been getting to grips with GNUPlot recently, but can't work out a simple way to get the data sent to it. Has anyone tried this? ..or is there another graphing application I should try?
Excel and OO Calc are great tools and I've loaded .csv data into them for graphing data plenty of times myself. I was, however, hoping for a way to dynamically pipe data into a graphing application to avoid having to close/reopen excel and plot a graph each time I want to look at some data.
I think you can pipe data into GNUPlot (which is why I mentioned it) but the details of how to do so are rather scant.
A simple approach is to wtite the data out as CSV and then import it into a spreadsheet like Excel or OpenOffice to do the graph drawing.
Edit: Following your question, I got interested in GNUPlot myself - this is the simplest description of using it from the command line that I found: http://www.goldb.org/goldblog/CommentView,guid,f378e279-eaa5-4d85-b7d2-0339a7c72864.aspx
Never underestimate the power of Excel and a .csv data dump.
Writing data to a .csv file form C++ is not very difficult and there's lots of articles out there regarding the subject, for example: here, or just google.
Excel can easily load .csv's and then you can just use that to plot whatever graphs you require. THis is particularly useful if you just want a quick visual sanity check of results etc.
You don't really need to touch VBA to do this
In Excel you can set up a Data Connection to a file, it supports many files type but CSV does work fine.
Go to List item
Data Tab
Click Connections
Click Add
select the file
go to the connection properties - un-tick prompt for file name
set the required period.
close the connections dialog
select the start cell for importing the data - cell 1a on worksheet 2
click existing connections
select you data connection
flip to worksheet1 add your chart and hookup the data.
the chart will now update automatically
this is Excel 2007 - but think older version had this and I think OO can do it to.
You might also want to look into XMGrace which allows you to launch it and drive it dircetly from C/Fortran programs as shown here
Excel is completely script-able. Use the macro recorder to figure out the steps. Create the chart in its own sheet. Then save the chart using the GIF filter.
The actual import is something like:
ActiveChart.Export FileName:=something_dot_gif, FilterName:="GIF"
I just found an example of piping data into gnuplot on Cardiff University's website. Not tried it yet, but it looks promising!
[edit] ..and another which includes some notes for windows.
You can use MathGL - it can create a window (FLTK, GLUT or Qt) and display plot inside. Also it have large set of plot types and can work in console.
