Assigning Unique Port Numbers

TIBCO Scribe® Insight requires a unique port number for each NAS instance running on a single server. The port number is used exclusively by the Dynamics NAV adapter as part of the connection information. The port differs from the ports specified when you configure an instance using the NAV Administration module.

Each NAV instance has its own set of Insight tables. Modify the NAS Port Configuration table to assign a unique port number to that instance. The NAS Port Configuration table should only have a single entry with the appropriate port number. The default port number is 8085. Use this port number for your first NAS instance. Assign new port numbers, such as 8086 or 8087, to each additional NAS instance running on the same computer.

Skip this step and use the default port number if:

You only have a single NAS instance.
You have multiple NAS instances running on different servers where each computer can use the same port number.

To assign a new port number

If you are installing on Dynamics NAV and need to support more than one Dynamics NAV company or organization, for each Dynamics NAV company or organization you are supporting:
1. Browse to the folder in which you installed the Dynamics NAV NAS.
2. Copy the following files and folders:
  - Files:
    - Scribe.NavAdapter.NasHook.dll
    - Scribe.NavAdapter.NasHook.tlb
    - Scribe.NavAdapter.NasHook.XmlSerializers.dll
    - ScribeNasSettings.xml
  - Folders:
    - \ScribeModifications
    - \ReleaseNotes
3. Paste these files and folders into each additional NAS instance's folder.
4. Edit ScribeNasSettings.xml to assign a unique port number to each company or organization.
From the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment, open the Object Designer for the company whose port number you want to configure.
Within the Object Designer, select Table, then select the NAS Port Configuration table.
Click Run. The NAS Port Configuration table opens within the client.

Specify the new port number in the Port No. column of the first row in this table.

Note:

The selected company uses the port number specified in the first row of this table. If the first row is not defined the port number defaults to 8085.
Use unique port numbers to avoid port conflicts. Be aware that additional port numbers may also have been assigned.

Click OK to save and close the NAS Port Configuration table.
Repeat each of these steps for each additional NAS instance.

Note: When connecting to the Adapter, use the server name and port number in the NAS Server field.
