Business Central data in Fabric: the way it should be

Ok .. so .. let me get one thing out of the way first: I’m not a Fabric expert. Far from it. I have a LOT to learn about Fabric myself 🙈. But this one is too important not to spread the word, so here’s my summary of what Kennie Pontoppidan showed in his Launch …

“the waldo way”

So.. I need a Mandalorian helmet for this one .. wait .. I HAVE one! 🤪 You know the line they keep repeating: “this is the way“. And the funny thing about Mandalorians is .. they never actually question it. It’s “creed”. You do it because.. well .. that’s the way. End of discussion. And lately I …

Troubleshooting Series – Ep5 – Telemetry

Next topic in the troubleshooting series: Telemetry. Probably the biggest one yet – and one that’s quite close to my heart, as I’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time on it over the past years. As always in this series – I just want to throw a bit of “waldo”-sauce on there, with my own …

BC Telemetry Buddy  – When Your 12-Year-Old Accidentally Helps You Find a Problem

TL;DR While showing my kid what I was working on, I casually asked my BC Telemetry Buddy “what customer has the most reason to complain” – and accidentally discovered a customer bleeding CPU time every morning from a broken background job. The issue got fixed, and this whole thing turned into a nice story to explain how …

Analyzing BC Telemetry with AI with the “BC Telemetry Buddy”

I did a thing … TL;DR I created an MCP for VSCode that makes it possible for you to just “talk” to your Telemetry without touching KQL or getting to know any tools.  It’s available on the marketplace, you don’t need extra subscriptions to fancy models or tools – it just uses your chat subscription …

BCTalent – Escape Rooms

You must have heard about the #BCTalent program from Microsoft.  It’s an initiative, designed to address the talent shortage in the Business Central ecosystem by aiming to bring new professionals to the community, by recruiting individuals with transferable skills from outside the ecosystem and providing them with training to become …

Obsoleted and “no longer invoked” events in v26 Business Central

Yeah – you read that right. For quite a while (since version 19 (!) if I remember correctly (and if Grok is right 🤪)) Microsoft introduced a significant enhancement to the invoice posting process for sales, purchase and service documents.  The feature “Extensible Invoice Posting Engine” replaces the legacy “Invoice Post.
