Installation and configuration of the Navision server and client

This procedure explains how to install and configure NAVISION, the part of the server and further down the part of the client (What is the complicated one). But I'm just explaining how to install and how the DB is created and licensed, and NAVISION issues and how it works I have no idea, it's a matter for programmers/analysts…

Installing NAVISION SERVER Part,

GOOD, the first thing is to put the NAVISION CD on the server where we want the NAVISION DB to be generated. This part is very simple, it is to follow an assistant and in the end it will not generate any menu or anything, simply a service that must be “Initiate” and “Automatic”, first of all, select the language we want to install and “OK”,

It shows us a web environment, go to the left side and select SERVERS, then on the right we select "Navision database servers"

We selected "Navision Database Server for Windows Server 2000/2003",

Next, to begin installation,

We indicate the generic name and the Organization (they are simple descriptive data) and who will use Navisión, in principle we put "All users"

Custom Installation (Custom)

Following,

We indicate the name of the server or instance, by default it will be the server name itself where it is being installed,

TCP/IP (Kerberos) and next,

In a Navision installation document we see that it is advisable to modify this value and put a higher value of 100.000 Kb, in the example we indicate 158.208Kb's

Select the license you have purchased by clicking (Select personal license) and click on Browse.

We can also instruct you to install a DEMO license for us, when we have the good one, we rename it to fin.flf and put it where NAVISION is installed.

We look for the license with FLF extension and open it.

Following,

Important,
If we already have a database created and we simply want to open it, we check the second option.
Instead, If you want to create a new one or open it, select the first option,

Following,

Install to begin installation,

This installation takes no more than a minute...

Ok, indicates that it has been successfully installed.
We check that the "Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision Database Server XXXXX" service is automatic and started.

Installation of NAVISION by CLIENT,

This one is somewhat more complicated, is where we will have to make the configurations to create the DB and so on…

First things, we insert the CD to install the NAVISION client, if during the installation we have a problem of "Put the 2nd CD in" we must copy the CD to HD and start again.
Traditional literacy, In Spanish.

In the web environment that opens us up, go to the menu on the left and select "Client", later, on the right "Navision Client",

We select Spanish language in its traditional variation.

Following,

We accept the terms of the license,

Following,

Select the "Custom" installation,

Uncheck the option of "Database backup..." and next,

Click on "Install" to start, Installation takes quite a while, about five minutes,

Install MS SQL Server Desktop Engine, if we already have it installed, it will update it if necessary,

Hope...

Finish and OK.

GOOD, once the client is installed and if the access is for the first time to the NAVISION server, you have to create the DB on which to work: "Archive" > "Database" > "New..."

We indicate the name of the NAVISION server
We indicate the path of where we want the NAVISION database to be saved (The path is the local Server)
We indicate the size (100Mb recommended, begin with...)

We waited a few seconds...

GOOD, once the NAVISION DB has been created or if it already exists, it must be opened to be able to work with it, but only the first time we entered NAVISION client, then it will save the configuration. To do this,: "Archive" > "Database" > "Open..."

We indicate the server that has the database, in the case of SAREIN:
Server Name: NICOLE
DB Name: D:BDNAVISIONdatabase.fdb
Authentication: "Database Server Authentication"
Id. User: TU_LOGIN
