See parameter ID in installation and administration documentation...

can you give me more indication

kine · 2006-04-12

if you use runtime parameter ID=<path\name> when starting fin.exe or finsql.exe, the zup file will be saved as <path\name>.zup

You can even put %USERNAME% it, like ID="z:\zup\%USERNAME%40.zup".
This is more for citrix or TS. With this every user has his own zup-file.

Ok, but i dont know where i put ID="z:\zup\%USERNAME%40.zup".

kriki · 2006-04-12

As a parameter in the "Target"-field of a shortcut to the fin.exe (or finsql.exe).

i put ID="z:\zup\%USERNAME%40.zup" or ID=z:\zup\%USERNAME%40.zup.

Best use ". This because it is possible that in the USERNAME there are blanks and in this case the fin.exe would interpret the ID-string as 2 strings.

Sorry May be I do not know the basics on target.
Can we change the Traget on versions earlier than 4.1. Because on Navison 4 on my desktop the Target is disabled???

cheers

Hi,
Target is supported from the beginning of the time.
If target is disabled on your machine, maybe, you can try to make new shortcut. Just click newShortcut, then find Fin.exe and add ID=something.
In the field "Type the location of the item" will be text like this:
"C:\Program Files\Navision\Navision 3.70\Client\fin.exe" ID=Nav

Create a desktop icon that starts the Navision client, right click and select properties, this were the target is at

here is what mine looks like

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\fin.exe" servername=10.0.0.6:2409, nettype=tcp, ntauthentication=no, id=c:\%username%Live, company="Bayshore Truck Equipment Co."

first part is path to fin.exe, that is the program the icon will start
then the server that fin.exe will use,
then the net type
ntauthentication=no means it will use database login, yes means use windows logon
id= is the id of the zup file
company is the company in Navision I want started.

My favorite way to set up the ID variable is to set it to:

ID=%APPDATA%\fin.zup

This will be expanded to the user's "Application Data" folder. For example:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserNameHere\Application Data\fin.zup

Users have full access rights to their Application Data folder. There is a similar folder for All Users, however, limited users cannot delete files in that folders, because other users might need these files. Limited users could create, read, write to files in that folder, but they cannot delete them. This might cause Navision to show an access denied message if the user tried to replace the ZUP file.

If you like to keep all ZUP files in the same folder so you could easily delete them, make a new folder in the drive and make sure that you change the permissions so all users have full access to the folder. Set the ID variable as suggested by others in this topic.

This is what you can do,

You can change their respective target paths to the shortcuts so that they look like this.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\finsql.exe" id=%userprofile%\My Documents\Nav400\fin.zup

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\finsql.exe" id=%userprofile%\My Documents\Nav260\fin.zup

You can also create a backup of your zup file then as well, by making a copy of it and renaming it and then if you ever need to, then you can always overwrite the corrupt zup file. This can be a useful tip once and a while.

Just double check the paths, and make sure that they work for you and you should be fine.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

Is it possible to use this line?
id=h:\zupfile

Or do i have to use
id=h:\zupfile.zup ?

themave · 2009-02-26

you do not need to enter the .zup extention it is added automatically

Howdy, Stranger!
