Dynamicsnav:////runpage? not working

nightrod

Hi,

I have installed the demonstration version of dynamics nav 2009.
Also i have installed visual studio 2008.

When i want to run a page using the start -> run option with Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=50000

it doesnt start a page but only a explorer screen with the search option.

i have also installed the development kit from the nav install dvd but still no results.

What do i need to install or change to use the runpage option?

Thanx, Rod

Did you include the machine name and company name as well?

The syntax is:
dynamicsnav:// [machine name] /DynamicsNAV/ [company name] /runpage?page=50000

Example:
dynamicsnav://localhost/DynamicsNAV/CRONUS International Ltd./runpage?page=50000

So if Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=50000 works for me, is that because I only have one database with only one company?

It seems that yes... or it is because you are MVP... :-D

DenSter

Yes Kamil I am sure it is because of my charming personality

That doesn't work as well.
when i enter that line in the explorer adresline it start up nav.
i took out the firewall but that made no difference.
Got some other ideas? :-k

Thanks!

Hi nightrod,
What happens if you use:
Start -> Run
- and then paste the URL (ex: dynamicsnav://localhost/DynamicsNAV/CRONUS International Ltd./runpage?page=50000)
- hit enter
?

If you still can't get it working, try the following:
Start -> Run
- and then paste "[the physical path to RTC executable]" + "[dynamicsnav://localhost/DynamicsNAV/CRONUS International Ltd./runpage?page=50000]" (without the plus sign of course)
- hit enter

nightrod

where can i find the path to RTC?
i don't know what it is.

Hi,

This should also work. You don´t need the server- and the companyname.

Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe "Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=50000"

Hi,

This one is working! But it also starts a new role client with it.
What can be the problem why the normal function is not working???

Thanks!

In your registry under Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT there should be a key called

DYNAMICSNAV

which should be a URL:Navision Protocol - which has a Open -> Command pointing to the command line you from above.
Sounds like that key is missing/wrong

Whether that is because the installer did something wrong, or you maybe don't have sufficient rights - I don't know.
Try to check your registry - you shouldn't have to change anything - I actually think the value should be updated when you start the RTC - but check your rights.

nightrod

The key is there.
it looks exactly like the one in the marketing beta vpc.

When you say it open an explorer screen with a search option is that Internet Explorer?
What operating system and which version of IE are you running?

nightrod

it is the windows explorer screen that opened in the search mode.

Windows vista business, IE 7.0.6001
locally installed nav with sql express (the standard demo)
I have also installed nav 5 sp1 on this machine.

Thanks

gulamdastagir

No iam not able to run RTC

i get the same error Messagem when i run the RTC which is located at

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\RoleTailored Client\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe"

I was checking my license file what Granule is required for RTC to work because we successfully upgraded from 5.1 to 2009

Thanks

hi in the above syntax we are having 5 slashes before run

but in Dynamicsnav:////run we have only 4

both are working..

wat is the difference?

Hello!

In the danish version of NAV 2009 the company in the demo database is called CRONUS Danmark A/S. Does anybody know if there is a way to link directly to a page when there is a slash in the companyname?

For now I just renamed the company, but that might not always be a solution.

Cheers

I tried this in 2009 Sp1 and it works fine

dynamicsnav://localhost/DynamicsNAV/KRONU/S/runpage?page=27

My company name is KRONU/S

freddy.dk

hi in the above syntax we are having 5 slashes before run

but in Dynamicsnav:////run we have only 4

The syntax is

[url=dynamicsnav://]dynamicsnav://[/url]<server/instance>/<company>/runpage?page=21

meaning that omitting <server/instance> will take away one of the slashes.
You can specify company without specifying server/instance - you cannot specify server/instance without specifying company.
in SP1 it works fine to have /'s in company names - and most of the time you can even just type it in.
If you have a very silly companyname like "CRONUS A/runpage" - then you might run into problems.

If you escape the companyname (EscapeDataString) the / will become %2f - and then you are home free.
