MS Dynamics NAV

MS Dynamics NAV can be accessed in different ways depending on which version you are using. You can use C/Front to access MS Dynamics NAV on the database level (with support for Flow Fields etc.) or you can use our NAS Connector or finally you can use our NAV WebServices.

The following versions of Navision are supported

• MS Dynamics NAV 2009
• MS Dynamics NAV 5.0 and 5.0 SP1
• MBS-Navision 3.70 and 4.0, 4.0 SP1 and 4.0 SP2
• Navision Attain 3.0, 3.10 and 3.60
• Navision Financials 1.30, 2.00, 2.01, 2.50, 2.60d

System requirements

C/Front - you need the C/Front module in your license (fin.flf)

RapidiOnline will take up 1 session (user) in MS Dynamics NAV when running transfers.

You might need additional Web Access or External access licenses from Microsoft - please check you license conditions for this.

Additional Installation

You need to have a MS Dynamics NAV client installed on the computer/server where the RapidiConnector is installed

Additionally Copy the following files to the MS Dynamics NAV client directory:

• fin.flf  (NAV license file - must have c/front access)
• cfrontsql.dll   -  if you are running NAV on SQL server
• cfront.dll   -   if you are running NAV on native server

Configuration

The fields of the MS Dynamics NAV Data Source Card are described as follows:

• Description: Enter a text describing the Data Source.
• Driver: Select if your MS Dynamics NAV is on a MS-SQL Server or a Native C/Side Server.
• Network Protocol: Specify if the network protocol is TCP/IP (apply "tcp") or NetBIOS (apply "netb"). If the database is on an MS-SQL Server, this parameter is specified as "TCP/IP Sockets" or "default".
• Server Connect: Specify the name of the server hosting the database. In some cases, it also works to specify the TCP/IP address. If the database is on an MS-SQL, this is the MS-SQL Server name.
• Database: If the database is a local database you leave the fields "Server Connect" and "Network Protocol" blank and specify the exact location of the local database instead (path and name). If the database is hosted by an MS-SQL Server, you specify the name of the database.
• Account: Enter the Account or Company name of the Navision Account here. PLEASE NOTE: Account name is CASE SENSITIVE.
• Use Windows Authentication: If you use the same UserID and Password to access the database as for when logging on to your Windows, you can mark this field. Please note that it is the windows user that you installed and run the RapidiConnector under, that will be used. If you do this then the fields UserID and Password are ignored.
  PLEASE NOTE: "Use NT Authentication" is only valid from version 2.50 of Navision Financials.
• UserID: If access to the database requires a UserID you have to specify the UserID here.
• Password: If you enter a UserID the corresponding Password is applied here.
• Use Codeunits Permissions: Here you can specify the number of a codeunit in NAV that has been setup with extra permissions to write to some tables. On the codeunits properties, you have to check the "C/Front May Use Permissions" box. Use this to give Rapidi access to write to for example Sales Invoice Lines and Sales Cr.Memo Lines.
• Installation Path: Specify the path to the directory of your MS Dynamics NAV Client (for example: "c:\program files\Navision"). Note that this is on the computer where the RapidiConnector is installed.
