Server Instance Name different from Service name

(0) ShareShare

Hi all,

Something strange happened to me today when I upgraded the NAV 2016 database from CU 3 to CU11. Everything went well except the service name. I used to run NAV 2016 by using the string

localhost:7946/DynamicsNAV90  

After the upgrade, I am using the same service but somehow the connection string is only accepted as

localhost:7946/instancename

where I can see DynamicsNAV90 service running in the NAV2016 administration and services.msc.

When I checked the table 2000000112 (Server Instance), it shows the "dynamicsnav90" as the Service name and "instancename" in the Server Instance Name field. I tried to edit the table but it immediately create another record with the same details again. This is not an issue but not satisfying for the effort put in so far. There is no place I can find to change this name, am not sure about editing anyother config file.

I already tried editing the config file, but then it will throw an error "

A server was not found at "net.tcp://localhost:7946/DynamicsNav90/Service". Either the URL is incorrect or the server is currently not available.

Can someone shed some light to this?

Regards,

Cecil

    Restart the services

    Open development environment and then click tools->options.

    Now fill your details then click ok

    After that run any compiled page/object from development environment.

    Now it creates a record as per your wish.

    did you check CustomSettings file under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\Service?

    Thanks Mohana. That was the Custom File I missed although i tried the other config files. Changed and it worked. Although I am still unsure how it got changed... I might have missed something on my upgrade. Kudos to you.
