ABOUT NAV 2016 NAS AND REPORTS SCHEDULING

A little “how-to” post about NAS Configuration and Report Scheduling, below some info, links and some screens for simple configuration.

NAV 2016 NAS

– “NAS services are a middle-tier server component that executes business logic without a user interface or user interaction. NAS services in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server support applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook Integration and the NAV Job Queue.

– “NAS” stands for NAV Application Server, which was a component in earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. NAS services replace the NAS component, and this requires you to modify any use of server-side COM.”

Microsoft: “The reason being change in NAV 2016, in the Codeunit 1 there no NAShandler function anymore, it has shifted to Codeunit 450. If you still define Codeunit 1, then there has to be code defined in Codeunit 1, or if you define any other codeunit then you provide it here as you know this already. This is BUG in the documentation about configuration parameters, will be fix soon.”
