In a number of scenarios, you may want to load and import a configuration package without involving your users or using the RapidStart Services user interface. You can do so by using a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows PowerShell cmdlet. Scenarios where this may be useful include:
-
Performing data import across multiple Microsoft Dynamics NAV installations without opening each of installation manually.
-
Configuring additional application areas for multiple customers.
To deploy a configuration package using a cmdlet
Prepare a RapidStart Services package. For example, you can create a package to import certain values and the names of the table and the fields to insert these values into.
Place the package on a computer where you will run the cmdlet.
Open the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 Administration Shell.
Enter Invoke-NAVCodeUnit, and specify information similar to the following example.
Copy CodeInvoke-NAVCodeunit -Tenant Default -CompanyName "CRONUS International Ltd." -CodeunitId 8620 -MethodName ImportRapidStartPackage -Argument "C:\TEMP\RS_CONFIG.rapidstart" -ServerInstance DynamicsNAV71
The cmdlet imports the package into each company.
Users can start to use the new functionality immediately.
