Function Get-ALExtensionFilesInfo{ <# .SYNOPSIS This function allows you to get information about Nav(Business Central) AL Extension files. .DESCRIPTION In AL VS Code Extensions V2, if you try to create an extension and the ID or Name are already used, you get an error. If you don't have the IDs of the files in the file name it is difficult to know what ID each extension has. This function will show for each extension file the ID, the name of the object that it extends and the extension type. You can also check what Ids are not used. .PARAMETER ALExtensionFiles This is a mandatory parameter and it should be an array of FileInfo objects (Use function Get-ChildItem to Get array of FileInfo objects with the folders where you have your extension files. .PARAMETER GetIDFromExtensionName You can use this switch in case you have the ID of the extension in the extension name. .PARAMETER GetObjectNameFromFileName You can use this switch in case you have the name of the object that the extension extends in the file name. .PARAMETER GetFreeIds Use this switch in case you want the function to return only the free Ids. For example if you have two page extensions with IDs 50251 and 50254, the function can show you that Ids 50252 and 50253 are not used. .EXAMPLE PS> Get-RandomPassword -PasswordLength 10 -NoOfPasswords 30 -PercentLowerCaseLetters 0.5 -PercentNumbers 0.5 -OpenInTextFile This example generates 30 passwords of 10 characters composed 50% of Lowercase letters and 50% numbers each. It will also create and open a temporary text file with the passwords. .EXAMPLE PS> $Folder = 'C:\ALExtensionIdsSample\Folder 1' $Folder2 = 'C:\ALExtensionIdsSample\Folder 2' $Files = Get-ChildItem $Folder -Filter '*.al' $Files += Get-ChildItem $Folder2 -Filter '*.al' #get the info from extension files $ExtensionInfo = Get-ALExtensionFilesInfo -ALExtensionFiles $Files $ExtensionInfo This example gives you information about the extension files: ObjectName ExtensionNumber FileName ExtensionType ---------- --------------- -------- ------------- Posted Purchase Invoices 50292 C:\ALExtensionIdsSample\Folder 1\PEX - Posted Purchase Invoices.al pageextension Workflow 50295 C:\ALExtensionIdsSample\Folder 1\PEX - Workflow.al pageextension .EXAMPLE PS> Get-ALExtensionFilesInfo -ALExtensionFiles $Files -GetFreeIds This example generates a list with Ids that are not used: ExtensionNumber ExtensionType --------------- ------------- 50293 pageextension 50294 pageextension .EXAMPLE PS> $MaxMinNo = $ExtensionInfo | Where-Object{$_.ExtensionType -like 'pageextension'} | Measure-Object -Property ExtensionNumber -Maximum -Minimum $ExtensionInfo | Where-Object {($_.ExtensionNumber -eq $MaxMinNo.Maximum) -and ($_.ExtensionType -like 'pageextension')} This example gives you the maximum used id for page extensions .EXAMPLE PS> $ExtensionInfo | Where-Object{($_.ObjectName -like 'Transfer Order') -and ($_.ExtensionType -like 'pageextension')} This example gives you the id of the extension that extends page Transfer Order. .EXAMPLE PS> $ExtensionInfo | Where-Object{($_.ExtensionNumber -eq 50292) -and ($_.ExtensionType -like 'pageextension')} | Select-Object -Property ObjectName This example gives you the Nav object name that extension with Id 50292 extends .INPUTS None. .OUTPUTS The return Type is an Array of PSCustomObjects. .LINK http://andreilungu.com/nav-al-extension-files-info #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][array]$ALExtensionFiles, [switch]$GetIDFromExtensionName, [switch]$GetObjectNameFromFileName, [switch]$GetFreeIds ) If(($ALExtensionFiles | Get-Member | Where-Object{$_.Name -eq "PSIsContainer"}).Count -eq 0) { throw 'You must provide an array of FileInfo objects for parameter ALExtensionFiles(Use function Get-ChildItem to Get files from folders where you have extension files).
