how to use Job Queue in NAV 2013

lakshanvindana

Dear experts,

I need your help to setup a Job Queue using NAV server instance called "NAS".
I have create a Job Queue, and ran successfully, now I need to run the same Job Queue using dedicated NAV server instance. Then I have some questions & clarification about using NAS.

1. Why using a dedicated NAV server instance (NAS) to run a Job Queue (heavy)?

2. How to use NAS, very simple way?

3. What are the limitations on using NAS?

Thank you.

1. Why using a dedicated NAV server instance (NAS) to run a Job Queue (heavy)?

You can use NAS for more then one thing but this is not a recommended practice.
If you have a dedicated NAS, this keeps things nice and simple.
You know one NAS does Job Queue, and the other one is processing e.g. Message queue.
If something happens with the "Job Queue" NAS, the other process is not affected.
Also when you start NAS you have to pass a starting parameter, with one dedicated NAS this is much easier.

2. How to use NAS, very simple way?

Please take a look at this "How to" video.

This document is for NAV 2009 but the same limitation are valid for NAV 2013.

Thank you.

I use codeunit 450 create the Job Queue,
but the thing is when I start the Job Queue using NAS, the schedule starting time changes.

Any idea, why is this happens?

You need to set the local time zone on the server tier setting in NAV administration management tool.
