Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does DBSync connect to MS NAV?

A: DBSync connects to MS NAV through Web Services. Services (and Pages or routines) should be exposed for other applications to consume it.

Q: What are the prerequisites for DBSync integration to work with MS NAV?

A: SOAP Web service of MS Dynamics NAV should be enabled. 

Q: Is this connector available with, On-demand and On-premise, versions of DBSync?

A: Yes. This connector supports both versions.

Q: Does DBSync need to be installed on the same machine as that of MS NAV?

A: DBSync MS NAV adapter can be either configured on the same machine - where MS Dynamics NAV is installed - or, on a remote machine that can access MS Dynamics NAV.

Q: What is DBSync SDK?

A: DBSync SDK allows you to write your own custom adapters and extensions. It can be deployed to your DBSync Integration Engine with processes you need to setup.

Q: Why do we need this additional coding?

A: At times, Web Services that are exposed either cannot be imported or ETL tools cannot interpret the metadata. This may cause ETL tools to fail. With our Java Adapter extensions, we can handle many of these cases very efficiently.
