TIP #3

Service Creation for opening multiple instances of RTC with different databases

Note: Under Assumption that you are using same port number for all instances.

Please find the below steps for congiguration:

Step #1:

Copy and Paste the Service folder in the same directory as 'Service AO' (AO is the my new service Name)

 

 

 

 

Step #2:

Use the following command in CMD to create new service

SC create MicrosoftDynamicsNAVServer$AO binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Service AO\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe $AO"

DisplayName= "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server AO" start= auto type= own depend= NetTcpPortSharing obj= "NT Authority\NetworkService"

(Note: Now Please check in Services.msc folder, Service has been created. Go to Properties -> Log on and confirm the password).

 

Start the service to check it has been configured properly or not. If service started successfully then stop the service for a while.

 

Step #3:

 

Since we are using same port number for all instances, we need to share the port number. Please follow the steps to do this.

 

• Go to Run - Service.msc - find Net. Tcp Port Sharing
• Right-click Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service, and then click Properties.
• On the General tab, set Startup type to Manual.
• Click OK to close the Properties window.
• Right-click Net.Tcp Port Sharing, and then click Start.

 You have now activated port sharing over the TCP/IP protocol.

 

Step #4:

 

We need to convert the Original service of 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server' as a sharing service. For that we need to delete and reactivate the service. (Make sure that service has been stopped)

 

Delete Service: (Command Prompt)

 

sc delete MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer

 

Activate Service: (Command Prompt)

 

sc create MicrosoftDynamicsNAVServer binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe"
DisplayName= "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server" start= auto type= own depend= NetTcpPortSharing obj= "NT Authority\NetworkService"

Step #5:

 

Change the parameters in Custom.config file of Service AO folder and Save it

 

add key="ServerInstance" value="DynamicsNAV AO"

add key="DatabaseName" value="AO"

Step #6:

 

Now Activate the Two services in Services.msc

 

1. Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server

2. Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server AO

 

Step #7:

 

Now You can open Two different databases using RTC
