Recent Posts (February 22–28, 2026)
➡️ 1. BC Online Wait Statistics in Telemetry: The AI Boost
📇 Author: Duilio Tacconi
🗓️ Date: February 23, 2026
🌎 Link: duiliotacconi.com
📝 Summary: Duilio does a deep technical exploration of wait statistics in Business Central Online telemetry — from the underlying DMV query that collects the data, through KQL delta analysis during a BCPT load test that surfaced lock contention as 46% of total wait time, to feeding the results to AI for automated interpretation. The post includes practical T-SQL and KQL examples, plus a downloadable AI-generated analysis document showing how GitHub Copilot with Claude can turn raw telemetry into actionable performance insights.
➡️ 2. AL Performance Bootcamp: Level Up Your Code — BCTechDays 2026 Workshop
📇 Author: Stefan Šošić
🗓️ Date: February 23, 2026
🌎 Link: ssosic.com
📝 Summary: Stefan announces his upcoming BCTechDays 2026 workshop focused on AL performance optimization. The hands-on session promises practical techniques for identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks in Business Central AL code — a timely complement to the growing community interest in BC performance tooling, telemetry analysis, and background processing patterns.
➡️ 3. Troubleshooting Series – Ep5 – Telemetry
📇 Author: Waldo
🗓️ Date: February 24, 2026
🌎 Link: waldo.be
📝 Summary: Waldo dedicates episode 5 of his troubleshooting series to Business Central telemetry — covering the two telemetry channels (environment-level and app/extension-level), Microsoft’s built-in tooling (Power BI apps, BCTech repo KQL queries, the 15-minute “Enable Additional Logging” SQL profiler), and his own BC Telemetry Buddy MCP tool. The post traces his telemetry journey from Azure Data Explorer dashboards through AI-assisted querying, with practical guidance on getting started without needing to become a KQL expert.
➡️ 4. If You Can’t Make It Fast, Make It Feel Fast
📇 Author: Stefan Maron
🌎 Link: stefanmaron.com
📝 Summary: Stefan and Henrik Helgesen walk through Business Central’s four background processing tools — Page Background Tasks, StartSession, TaskScheduler, and Job Queue — anchored by a real-world case study from a medical device manufacturer where moving production planning to a Job Queue pattern eliminated deadlocks and delivered instant user feedback. The post also covers how BC Online’s auto-scaling distributes TaskScheduler and Job Queue work across server instances, with a comparison table showing when to reach for each tool.
➡️ 5. ALCops: The Next Chapter of LinterCop
📇 Author: Arthur van der Voort
🗓️ Date: February 23, 2026
🌎 Link: vondervoort.be
📝 Summary: Arthur shares the story behind ALCops from the maintainer’s perspective — born from a conversation with Stefan Maron about LinterCop’s future, the project was rebuilt from scratch to allow breaking changes without disrupting existing pipelines. The current v0.5.0 release has ~95% of LinterCop rules migrated, a VS Code extension, and AL-Go support, with Azure DevOps integration and AI tooling exploration (including a potential ALCops MCP server) still on the roadmap. BusinessCentral.LinterCop will be set to read-only in the coming months.
➡️ 6. Learn AL with Claude — Interactive Business Central Development Course
📇 Author: Silviu Virlan
🗓️ Date: February 24, 2026
🌎 Link: svirlan.com
📝 Summary: Silviu introduces an interactive AL development course powered by Claude Code — 13 lesson scripts that run inside VS Code using a marker system (STOP, USER, ACTION) to create an adaptive teaching flow. The course follows a continuous scenario where you build an Equipment Rental Management extension for a fictional outdoor equipment company, covering tables, pages, enums, codeunits, reports, and permission sets across two modules.
➡️ 7. A Practical Guide to Creating Agents in Business Central with AI Development Toolkit (Preview)
📇 Author: Javi Armesto
🗓️ Date: February 26, 2026
🌎 Link: techspheredynamics.com
📝 Summary: Javi presents a comprehensive 5-phase framework for building Business Central agents using the AI Development Toolkit preview — covering identity and metadata, the AL skeleton (IAgentFactory, IAgentMetadata, IAgentTaskExecution), natural language instructions with official toolkit keywords like MEMORIZE and Reply, security layering through permissions, profiles, and page customizations, and ConfigurationDialog setup. The post also explores proactive task creation via event subscribers and the Agent Task Builder fluent API, all anchored by a working HR Absence Agent example.
➡️ 8. Why API Templates Don’t Work on Business Central Custom API Pages
📇 Author: Mohana
🗓️ Date: February 28, 2026
🌎 Link: mohana-dynamicsnav.blogspot.com
📝 Summary: Mohana digs into why API templates silently fail on custom API pages — the standard ProcessNewRecordFromAPI trigger relies on TempFieldSet tracking to apply template values, but custom fields aren’t tracked in the same way. The post walks through the underlying system behavior with code references and demonstrates how to make API templates work correctly with custom API pages.
