Installation

There are a few ways to install the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) connector for Dime.Scheduler. The old way of working, that is using objects, is still supported, albeit for backwards compatibility only. Microsoft encourages its partners to create extensions for said platform. And that's what we did. There are two flavours of the extension:

  • The on-premise extension is an .app file that you need to install manually on the BC server using PowerShell.
  • For cloud instances of BC, the extension published on AppSource can be installed with the mere click of a button.

Let's take a look at how they're deployed.

On-premise extension

Microsoft's recommended deployment steps should be followed. Let's walk through it:

  1. Get the extension from the installation package.
  2. Locate the extension.
  3. Start the Dynamics NAV Administration Shell in this directory and execute the following script:
  Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Path ".\Dime_Dime.Scheduler_x.x.x.x.app"
  Sync-NavApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Name "Dime.Scheduler"
  Install-NAVApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Name "Dime.Scheduler"

If the deployment is done on a multi-tenant server instance, a -Tenant parameter should be added to the second and third command. Also, the third command is optional because the app can be installed by using the client.

Within moments, you should see the Dime.Scheduler extension appear in the extension list:
