This book will show you how to extend a Microsoft Dynamics NAV installation to the enterprise world in a practical way. The book starts with an introduction to Microsoft Dynamics NAV architecture and then moves on to advanced topics related to implementing real-world solutions based on NAV and external applications. You will learn how an enterprise distributed architecture with NAV at the core can be implemented.

Preface

Developing the solution


To develop our solution architecture, we have to perform the following main tasks:

  1. Configure Azure Service Bus.

  2. Create an interface for order transmission from the shop center application to the Azure Service Bus.

  3. Create an interface that retrieves orders from Azure Service Bus and saves them into the NAV ERP.

We will cover these steps in detail.

Configuring Azure Service Bus

Let's learn how we can configure Azure Service Bus by performing the following steps:

  1. To create an instance of Azure Service Bus, log in to the Azure Portal, navigate to New | Enterprise Integration | Service Bus (or simply search for Service Bus by using the search box):

  2. In the Create namespace window, enter a namespace name (a namespace provides a scoping container for addressing Service Bus resources within your application and the name must be unique).

  3. After that, select the Azure subscription under Subscription and the Resource group option (or create a new one), Pricing tier, and Location where...
