Adding a dedicated server for a particular Job Que in NAV 2017

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

We have a customer that wants to do EDI files through Job Que and want to know if we can assign 1 dedicated server for this task.

Prior to NAV 2017, we were abler assign a specific server in the Job Que Entry Card, General fast tab. However, we are not seeing this setting this in NAV 2017. IS there a way to still do this?

Is it still possible to choose

    Actually not possible, but you can create a workaround.

    1) store in the Job Queue Entry task the Server and Instance which you want to run the code in.

    2) in your Dispatcher-Codeunit (for example 448) make something like this:

    // get current server instance

    ServerInstance.GET(SERVICEINSTANCEID);

    IF ServerInstance."Service Name" <> JobQueueEntry."Server Instance to be executed on" THEN

     EXIT;

    // check for current session

    IF SESSIONID <> JobQueueEntry."Session to be executed in" THEN

     EXIT;

    ExecuteFunction(); // call Codeunit or Report as configured in Job Queue Entry here

    Otherwise, there are more performan way to execute NAV scheduled tasks without using Job queue, like for example Powershell and InvokeNavCodeunit:

    Dedicated servers can be tricky like that and it can be really hard to set them up, but there are ways to solve that. If you get the right dedicated server, you will not struggle with the set up because they come ready. You can go to GTHost and check out their cheap dedicated servers. They have awesome offers on those now and you will get one in just 15 minutes. They are using the best available components so their servers are very reliable. They will not look to scam you with some hidden fees and you get 100% network uptime. Your servers will constantly be getting better because they are updating them. It is great that we can now have affordable dedicated servers.
