Navision Server Instance Setup

To expose your web services, you need to set up an instance on the Microsoft server.

1. Launch Dynamics NAV Administration.
   
   You will see the server name that you entered when you set Navision up on your system.
   Note: Only Navision versions 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 are supported by the connector.

2. Click on the server name. More options are available on the panel to your right. Click Add Instance from the dialog box that appears as shown below.
   

3. On the console that appears, expand all options one by one and configure the ports according to your needs. Make sure you Enable Client Services and OData Services. (In our example, the server name is DynamicsNAV100.)
   
   

You have now successfully created an instance on the local server.
