Run dataport from other application

Lio

Hello

I don't filnd something about it so I decided to write to the forum

I rely on You...

So, the question:

Is it possible to run dataport from other (outer) application?
If this is possible then how can I do this?

I want to export and import data without user interact in navision.

Thanks for answer.

This can be tricky. You cannot run dataports by using NAS (Navision App. Server).

If you are accessing Navision with third party SW, why don't you just read/insert the tables you want? And of course be careful when inserting not to corrupt the data.

You could make a codeunit that exports the data and call that codeunit from the NAS.

Or maybe you don't want to use a Navision dataport or other Navision object. You could maybe use ODBC or C/Front.

I can read/write data to tables, but in this way I don't use Navision Business Logic. To read/write only data I can use odbc, but I want use Navision autonumber, triggers and so on.

Thanks to dataport I can achieve this.

Mabe is other way... Mabe I can somehow run a code unit (from other application) and from code unit run dataport... I don't know

If somebody know how I can do this please answer.
