Hello all,
We have a problem with importing data.
Our customer setup server in Maylaysia. It's mean that NAV Server install in a computer that placed in Maylaysia.
In Viet Nam, Client will connect to server in Maylaysia to import transactions into Table 81, after that they will posting at Maylaysia server.
The importing is very slow.
Because they using SQL option so I suggest the solution, in VietNam we setup NAV server, after they import data in to NAV. We will go to the SQL server using the command and export data and send this file to Malaysia and DBA in Malaysia will use command to import data. But they dont want to do this because they said that DBA not support that ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) .
I really need some suggestions from all of you. Pls help me ASAP !!!! .
Thanks,
HN

They do like : "Or is a local client in Vietnam opening the database (through VPN) in Maylaysia?". Because they want to be safe.
We have a solution for improving speed of importing, haven't we??
Hope your suggestion soon. Thank you so much.

Actually, I DON'T like "a local client in Vietnam opening the database (through VPN) in Maylaysia" [-( .
Probably there is a solution, but I just want to know how people work (infrastructure) on the database.

I dont like too, but the Customer is GOD ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) I think NAV is not designed for doing like that.
Until now, 2 persons are working with the NAV server at Malaysia. They open the NAV Client (SQL option) and on the server name they gave the name of Malaysia server and the specified database and they used Windows Authentication.
It means :
ServerName : Malaysia Server.
Database : Specified Database (Examp. : NAV_Database)
Authentication : Windows Authentication
Thanks for your reply and hope your news soon.

In my knowledge, there is no way around if you persist to only go through VPN...

Tell your client they have three options:
1/ Citrix/Terminal Server.
2/ Get a 100Mega bit duplex frame relay connection with very low latency between Viet Nam and Malaysia.
3/ Have a slow system.
Then let them decide.
I think when they realize that they speed is unusable, and look at the cost of the Frame relay they will then suddenly realize why virtually all NAV clients use the Citrix/TS approach. \:D/
To Waldo :
RDP is Remote Desktop Protocol, isn't it ??? I also think this way and i think it's good solution in this case. I hope i can pursuade customer to do this.
To David :
Thanks for your ideas.
I will try to do.
But i have a another question. How can we import data into Nav database without using dataport??
HN
Just make sure your import is run from within an NAV client.
