Hi all,

I want to ask how many user can be connected to Navision simultaneously Via web services?
And can we fire OnValidate() Trigger of a field via Web Services based on pages?

Thanks.

    I have a web plate-form that communicates with Microsoft Dynamics NAV via WS.
    I configured the WS credential to authenticate with Network Credential.
    When I see the connected sessions I find Microsoft Dynamics NAV WEB.
    My question is if many users are working simultaneously ( they will be using the same connection to Microsoft Dynamics NAV) it will creates a conflict?

    The NAV services tier for 2009 supports between 30 to 50 users. It's due to memory issues. 2013 has much higher range. If you have more than that many users, create multiple service tiers and split the users.

    It's not issues but limits on how much memory you can have

    the service tier can only use up to 4 gig. It's a limitation of a 32 bit service tier. How many people are going to be connecting through the service tier?

    Isn't the 32 bit service tier is limited to 1.7 GB?

    This is from an email conversation I had with the Techincal Advisory group at MS....
    In NAV 2013 the NST will now be 64bit so we will not be limited to 1.7 GB of memory as with the older versions, but without any benchmarks (there are none planned that I am aware of) it would be difficult to determine how many concurrent users each 64bit NST will be able to support with any accuracy. With that said the Product Group did mention during one of the global summits that theorehtically it should be able to handle 150 users which is probably a good number for pure data entry, but when you start looking at truly mixed workloads with posting and reporting I would probably start at 75 concurrent users. Sorry I could not give you a more definitive answer, but this is all we have at the moment.

    I'm a bit confused by the title. Are you askign about the techincal limits of the service tier? Or the license limits?

    Firstly I asked about license limits, but I saw that always there's one Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web connected, which means that it consumes just one session.
    My other question is :
    I have a web plate-form that permit to create invoices within Navision via web services. And I wonder if in the case where multiple users ( connected to my plate-form) work simultaneously ( create invoices simultaneously ), it will creates conflicts. ( Because they will be connected to Navision through one session).

    I hope that I was clear about my question.
    Thanks

    It is the end-users that need to be licensed for NAV. if you've got 100 users accessing NAV thru Web Services, then all 100 users must be licensed. Not just the 1 session that shows up. Exactly how they get licensed depends on a few factors.

    The same applies to SQL.
