Deploying Microsoft Dynamics NAV to the Azure cloud (IaaS) is now one of our first proposal on every new customer. When you have a customer that has embraced the cloud, it’s quite natural to start thinking on “going serverless” when implementing certain business processes. In this post, I want to describe a real world scenario I’ve recently handled in a “serverless” way. The scenario is this: our customer has NAV deployed on Azure (IaaS). An external business partner actually collects orders from many sites and at the end of the day it uploads a ZIP archive containing a big CSV file with orders…

The Session Event table (ID 2000000111) is a table present in the NAV database starting from NAV 2013. In this table NAV records every Logon, Logoff, Start, Stop, Close of a session in the current database. There are certain situations where this table could grow a lot (for example when using intensive web service transactions) and this could affect your database performances, so it’s important to manage the retention of these entries. Today on a forum there was a good question regarding a missing option in the actual NAV releases. With NAV 2013, in the NAV Server settings you had these two…

A container image is a lightweight, stand-alone, executable package of a piece of software that includes everything needed to run it: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, settings. I was a container user from some years, mainly for developing .NET applications for the cloud or on cross-platform environments. I remember also that some years ago I’ve shared a document full of requests for the NAV product team and one of these was a question in order to know if a project regarding having NAV on containers was in plan for the future or not. After that, a day a man called Freddy Kristiansen…
