Business notification problems - please help

trso

After following the installation manual for Nav 4.03 for business analytics i got the error message ”there are no bustiness entities available. Please ensure that there is a company selected. Navision was running and company selected, and the notification server connects to the server so that should be fine.

I then found a article in the knowledge base on the partner source which said I should uninstall .netframework, then uninstall business notification, restart server, install business notification and then install the .net framework. But that can’t be done, when trying to install business notification prior to installing the .net framework I get the error Creation of NSInstallPath Registry Key failed. So I have to install the .netframework first and then business notification, and then it fails again. I have tried everything possible and still get the error there are no business entitites available, please ensure that there is a company selected in Navision.

I am running a SQL server 2005, sqlxml 4.0, nav 4.03 on a windows 2003 server.

help would be very much appreciated.- :shock:

do not install .net framework 2.0 back ... it is known to have some issue ... i had faced the same prob. but when i had unistalled 2.0 and went ahead every thing went perfectly ....hope this helps

trso

no that doesn't help. because if we uninstall .netframework we lose componentes that are vital to sql server 2005

then i would suggest that log a complaint with microsoft .. as it is a frame work issue ...

trso

yeah, i will do that, but hoped someone here had experienced the same and could have a solution to my problem.

Check that you have also intalled Microsoft SQL Server Notification Services SP1, Standard or Enterprise Edition, corresponding to your SQL Server version.

Install all components if installing prerequistes on one machine.

Hope this helps, Carol

As for as I know, Business Notification is not run on SQL Server 2005.

You need to create a file with name "finsql.exe.config" or "fin.exe.config" (depending on whether you connect to sql or native database) with the following content :

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
</startup>
</configuration>

This file needs to be created in the Client folder.

Hi trso,

The error you encountered is probably because one or more of the following conditions are true:
• You do not have user rights on the computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server on which you tried to install the Business Notification functionality. Make sure the acccount you use has enough privileges.
• The version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Notification Services is incorrect. It should correspond with the version of SQL Server you installed previously.
• The Terminal Services service is enabled on the computer on which you tried to install the Business Notification functionality. It should be stopped.
• The Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are installed on the computer.


Thanks &Good Luck,
cunny

BN fo NAV SP3 , need SQL2005 and .NET2.0. The previous versions of BN (BN for SP1,SP2) use only SQL 2000.

Hi trso!


I am facing the same problem, what exactly you posted.

When I remove .NetFramework 2.0 and install BSN, it gives me the
error that"nsinstallpath registry key failed".

Have you found any solution on this. Please let me know
if there is any other way
