Install Sana extension into Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018

You must install the Sana extension on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV server. To install the Sana extension, you will need the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell.

 NOTE

The Sana extension for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 can be downloaded on Sana Community. Only registered Sana partners can download it. If you are a customer, please contact your Sana partner or Sana project manager.

Step 1: Copy the Sana extension to the server where Microsoft Dynamics NAV is installed.

Step 2: Start the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell.

Step 3: Publish the Sana extension, by running the Publish-NAVApp command:

Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Path ".\SanaExtension.app"

Before running the command, specify your Microsoft Dynamics NAV server instance and path to the Sana extension.

Example:

Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance DynamicsNAV110 -Path "C:\NAV2018RTM_W1_9.2_APP\Sana Commerce_9.2.0.37_NAV2018_W1.app"

Step 4: Synchronize the Sana extension with the database, by running the Sync-NavApp command:

Sync-NavApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Name SanaExtensionName -Path ".\SanaExtension.app" -Tenant TenantID

Before running the command, specify your Microsoft Dynamics NAV server instance, Sana extension name, path to the Sana extension, and tenant ID. Use "Sana Commerce" as the value of the -Name parameter. If you do not have a multi-tenant server instance you can either specify default as the tenant ID, or you can omit the -Tenant parameter.

Example:

Sync-NavApp -ServerInstance DynamicsNAV110 -Name Sana Commerce -Path "C:\NAV2018RTM_W1_9.2_APP\Sana Commerce_9.2.0.37_NAV2018_W1.app" -Tenant default

Step 5: Install the Sana extension, by running the Install-NAVApp command:

Install-NAVApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Name "SanaExtensionName" -Tenant Tenant1, Tenant3

Before running the command, specify your Microsoft Dynamics NAV server instance, Sana extension name, and tenant ID. Use "Sana Commerce" as the value of the -Name parameter. If you do not have a multi-tenant server instance you can either specify default as the tenant ID, or you can omit the -Tenant parameter.
