Establishing a Connection
Enabling SSIS in Visual Studio 2022
If you're using Visual Studio 2022, you will need to install the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension to use SSIS.
- Navigate to Extensions > Manage Extensions.
- In the Manage Extensions window's search box, search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects 2022" and select the extension in the list.
- Click Download.
- Close Visual Studio and run the downloaded Microsoft.DataTools.IntegrationServices.exe installer. Proceed through the installer with default settings.
- Open Visual Studio. There should now be an "Integration Services Project" project template available.
Adding the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Connection Manager
Create a new connection manager as follows:
- Create a Visual Studio project with the "Integration Services Project" template.
- In the project, right-click within the Connection Managers window and select New Connection from the menu.
- In the Description column, select CData Microsoft Dynamics NAV Connection Manager and click Add...
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Alternatively, if you have an existing project and CData Microsoft Dynamics NAV Source or CData Microsoft Dynamics NAV Destination:
- Right-click your CData Microsoft Dynamics NAV source or destination component in your data flow
- Select Edit... to open an editor window.
- Click the New... button next to the Connection manager: dropdown selector to create a connection manager.
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Connecting to Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Before the component can connect with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, OData services need to be enabled on the server. Once OData Services are enabled, the component will be able to query any services that are published on the server.
In addition, specify a Url to a valid Microsoft Dynamics NAV server organization root (e.g. http://MyServer:7048) and a ServerInstance (e.g. DynamicsNAV71). If there is not a Service Default Company for the server, set the Company (e.g. 'CRONUS Canada, Inc.') as well.
In a multitenant installation, specify the tenant Id in Tenant (e.g. 'Cronus1').
Authenticating to Microsoft Dynamics NAV
To authenticate, set the User and Password properties to valid Microsoft Dynamics NAV logon credentials or Windows user credentials. Select the appropriate authentication method in AuthScheme.
Auth Schemes
The available authentication schemes are configured in IIS where Dynamics NAV is hosted. In IIS you can select to enable or disable Digest, Basic, Windows, or Anonymous authentication. Please consult with your Dynamics NAV admin to determine which authentication scheme is appropriate for you. Set AuthScheme to one of the following:
- NEGOTIATE (default) - It is part of the Windows authentication, also known as Kerberos.
- BASIC - Basic authentication.
- DIGEST - Digest authentication.
- NTLM - Part of the Windows authentication.
- NONE - Anonymous authentication.
