I clicked the URL .. and I do think there are much better examples .. not to say that the URL above isn't a NAV 2009 example (2009 isn't even mentioned in the article). Or am I dreaming? :-)

Here are some of mine:
- http://dynamicsuser.net/blogs/waldo/arc ... rvice.aspx
- http://dynamicsuser.net/blogs/waldo/arc ... rvice.aspx

There are lots of examples on Freddy's blog. here is one:

Are your web services running ("business webservices" in your services window..)?
If you restart, you can find a url in the event viewer where you can find the web services. Does it deviate of the url you're trying to use?

The company that you open is the one that you use in the URL of the web-service for example:

http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/Re ... on_Service

See it says "ReplaceWithAPercentEncodedCompanyName".

One more issue came up :x

when I browse service using
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/Services
I saw xml code.

but when I'm trying with company name
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/CR ... d/Services

am getting http 500 internal error.

Even log showing:
Service "CRONUS International Ltd/Services/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata" was not found!

any idea :-k

Thanks

Since this is an url you ened to encode it. The Company name has white spaces in it's name so you need to replace them with %20, or simply call the method
System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode() (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4fkewx0t.aspx)

deV thanks for the response

Actually I'm using %20, if not me IE assigning space with %20.
So, that's not a problem.

Today, my web server is not responding. I mean if I run with http://localhost am getting error.

An error has occurred.

Try this action again. If the problem continues, check the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community for solutions or contact your organization's Microsoft Dynamics CRM Administrator. Finally, you can contact Microsoft Support.

I have installed visual Studio 2010 today, is that causing problem?

am searching forums to find out why http://localhost is not running, but cannot find my answer.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

so can i create 1 C# form.... to execute all these companies???
or should I create as many as companies?
lets say now i have 5 companies, but how if there are 2 more companies in the future?
should i create another c# web services?
thanks

Nope the service doesn't change if you add a company. It just responds on the new URL. It's pritty simple you just need to replace the hardcoded URL with a dynamic like:

string EncodedCompanyName = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode(CompanyName);
string WSUrl = string.Format("http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/{0}/Codeunit/Integration_Service",EncodedComapanyName);

On your C# Form you add a dropdown list, that shows all companys (If you not already know, there is a system service that returns you a list of all companies).

chethanht

If http://localhost is not working, this is not the right forum.

My understanding you want to call your program from Window Schedule? Am i right?
For my view is "Yes".

1. Write Simple prorgam (c#)
2. Window Schedule Call to ur prog.
3. Public CU (in NAV)
4. CU call to your import rpt. (in NAV).

I hope someone can give to you best ans. That is from my point

Yukon

why my services not found?
i already published the codeunit
and i already start the service for webservice
what did i miss?

julkifli33

hi ...
i want to know
i have created new codeunit --> 50001
from this codeunit i trigger codeunit 80 (which is sales post)

in order to use this in webservice, do i need to publish this codeunit 80 as well ?
or just codeunit 50001?
thanks

ClausHamann

You only need to publish C50001. You do not need to public C80 as long as you only call C80 though C50001.
