RTC Shortcut to different services

bbender

Is there a way to run a different Service from a shortcut?

I did the "C:\Program Files\Navision\copy of 2009\RoleTailored Client\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe" /? and I can't tell what parameters to pass.

the server name is navision-server and the service instance is DynamicsNAVCiesco.

Thanks,

You'll need to have separate client config files for each server you want to connect to. You specify the server name and instance in the config file, then use the 'settings' param when you open the client. This thread has more info:

or you can create a shortcut using [url=dynamicsnav://servername/instancename/companyname/]dynamicsnav://servername/instancename/companyname/[/url] - that will work too.
there is an explanation of this on my blog

Thanks, that is what I needed.

I followed the Walk Through: Accessing Multiple NAV Databases from a Single NAV server Computer. Accept I did not share the TCP port. I changed the 2nd service setting file to point to port 7048 & web service 7049 and changed the new Instance. So, basically this is the short cut I use:

dynamicsnav://navision-server:7048/DynamicsNAVCiesco/CRONUS USA, Inc.

Thanks again for your help!
