Navision Server Configuration

Alex

Modify the Srvstrat.bat
We have following code ion the batch:

server nettype=tcp, database=e:\financials\server200\db\d1.fdb,installasservice

Now my qouestion:

could i paste following code

server nettype=tcp, database=e:\financials\server200\db\d1test.fdb,installasservice

to have a demodatabase to test ?!
But how can i switch now between the two databases ?!
(The normal Navision Users should now have these option)

1) 2 MACHINES. Install the Navision Server on 2 different machines, and add one more parameter to the command line: servername=Navitest . Then you can switch between the 2 by selecting 'File - Server - Connect' from the toolbar and just type the servername. Remeber to define the 2nd server in the 'hosts' file (normaly found under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc ).
2) SAME MACHINE. You should install two copies of Navision Financials server executables in different folders on the same machine. Then you must change the port assignment for the 2nd Navision server. Default port Navision Financials uses is 2407. Use 2408 for your second server. You assign ports by modifying "services" file (normaly found under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc) . Again, add the servername=Navitest to your command line and modify the 'hosts' table accordingly.
