Hello,

I have a general question for transfer Data to navision.
Ich have to transfer the data from a customer to navision,
and I think about the best way to do this.

So I want to ask what you would do.

Are there any tools to support this? Do you always use csv files and dataports? What is the best solution to do this? Are there any other ways to transfer data to navision?

Thanx

    Most commonly, you would use dataports and text files. It's the easiest way to import data into Navision, because you have one object in Navision and one text file to import. It's pretty straightforward to develop them.

    You can also use XMLPorts and xml documents, which are basically also text files, but this is a little more complicated. You can't just run an XMLport like you can run a dataport, so it would involve more complex programming.

    You can also write your own codeunits and manipulate the text files yourself through code.

    Then, if you need this to be an automatic process, you will need to think about having this process run inside an instance of Navision Application Server.
