Implementing The Adapter For Dynamics NAV

Implement the Adapter for Microsoft Dynamics NAV by installing and testing the adapter component. If you have not used the adapter before, TIBCO recommends reading the TIBCO Scribe® Insight Overview and Dynamics NAV Adapter sections.

TIBCO strongly recommends reviewing the adapter's release notes. The release notes are installed with the adapter, or you can download them from the TIBCO Scribe® Insight Help Release Notes page.

To implement the Adapter for Dynamics NAV

  1. Review the requirements. See Requirements.
  2. Install the Dynamics NAV NAS Components for each company. See Installing The NAS Components.
  3. Set the properties for each NAS instance to establish a connection between Dynamics NAV and the Insight adapter. See Setting The NAS Instance Properties.
  4. If you have multiple companies and multiple NAS instances, assign unique port numbers to each instance. See Assigning Unique Port Numbers.
  5. Import the TIBCO Scribe® Insight .fobs for your version of Dynamics NAV, including: Common .fob and Products And Prices .fob.
  6. Edit the Dynamics NAV code units manually for your version of Dynamics NAV.
  7. Custom information used as custom actions must be placed in Dynamics NAV tables so that TIBCO Scribe® Insight can access information about codeunits and their properties. See Activating The Insight Actions.
  8. Validation rules allow Insight to manage the business logic for entities that TIBCO Scribe® Insight requires. These rules are defined in the Scribe Validation Rules table in Dynamics NAV and applied to the data that is received by Dynamics NAV. See Importing Default Validation Rules.
  9. Install the Adapter for Dynamics NAV. See Installing The Adapter for Dynamics NAV.
  10. In TIBCO Scribe® Insight, set up your Adapter's Connections to Dynamics NAV. See Connecting To The Adapter.
  11. Configure the Publisher for Dynamics NAV to publish new and changed data to the ScribeIn message queue as XML messages. These messages can be used as source data for Insight integration processes or forwarded to other non-Insight processes. The Publisher for Dynamics NAV is installed as part of the adapter installation. See Configuring The Publisher.
