USING NAVISION OVER THE WEB

Kim · 2010-05-03

hi guyz;
We have a clients who wants to use all functionalities of NAV 2009 over the
web. Has anyone ever done this before?

Oooh, a classic PHB request.

If they're using normal navision Citrix will do what they want. For the RTC, Citrix will work fine too but it the RTC does have lesser ping time requirements so you may be able to use it offsite if you have enough bandwidth.

As the requirement is so PHB like though chances are this isn't what they need.

Hi
You can use navision Web services(code unit and pages) for this.......

rdebath · 2010-05-03

Ashish,
You missed the word "all", sure you can turn on "all" the pages in the system as webservices but then you have to write something to access every one of those webservices from web pages and get around the authentication problem. It's been on Microsoft's roadmap for a few years so far and we still haven't got a firm delivery date.

ok rdebath
but i am only suggest him, i am not sure but i think that we can do validation by some other method and ways we have to use multiples method to do this not only by using Nav web services

You're not wrong there are lots of ways of integrating Navision with a website, NAV2009 webservices look like a pretty good method if the authentication works for you and a plain proxy in front can fix that if not.

But Kim needs to go back to the business and find what they're actually trying to do and even what they mean by the rather vague phrase of "over the web". A phrase by the way that many non-technical people use as a synonym for "via the internet" and so could mean anything from an advert on a web page to "completely remove the firewall" or "break the laws of physics".

The last one was someone who wanted to run a classic client connection across the Atlantic. They were convinced that because the internet was so cheap they should just have to spend a tiny bit more to get a good enough connection.

thanks for the info. what the client needs is to use NAV (as a single database)across the East African Region.
i think the first proposal to use citrix would be better.

It is possible to run the NAV RTC client over the Internet. NAV doesn't need to be installed on the client, as it's "packaged" at the hosting provider location.

I have seen this presented by Michael Nielsen (MDCC).

Luc, Where can I get more information on this? or has anyone else done it or has material
on how this works??

The product team is working on 2 whitepapers to help with this.

The first is configuring your 3-tier deployment to support using the RTC over the WAN/Internet. This will cover using a client that is not in the same Windows Domain as the Navision Service Tier is in.

The second is leveraging Microsoft Application Virtualization Technology with the RTC.

The supported version and release dates for these white papers will be announced soon.

If you would like to see what these will look like you can see a demo from this year’s Convergence conference. The videos will be up soon. Here is a link http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/conve ... fault.aspx
