Hi chandramsc,

There was pretty much the same kind of question in an other thread so i thought it is useful to copy my answer from there, and here you go:

You need to install Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) and you have to create the message queues because this MSMQ component is needed for the communication between the web parts from employee portal and the Navision Application Server (NAS). Additionally, you need to install the Application Server that is starting Employee Portal.

In Dynamics NAV you must have a configuration ready for the setup and for the web parts. The configuration for web parts
is called request type and defines which data shall be displayed. In the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) you must
have a created web application. Then, you have to install the web parts of Employee Portal in the web application. On the pages internal the web application you can add web parts that refer to the request type configuration then.

BTW: the 4th generation of Employee portal is IT IS active 2010 SP2 http://itis.de/it_is_active_2010/time_entry_matrix.aspx This solution provides you much more opportunities for creating a user friendly SharePoint based portals
