Description

Use the Mount-NavTenant cmdlet to mount a tenant database against the specified Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. The database must already exist, and it must be a valid Microsoft Dynamics NAV database. Also, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance must be configured for multitenancy. When a database is mounted against a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance, the server can process requests for data for it. When you mount a tenant database, the database is not synchronized against the application database. To synchronize the tenant database against the application database, you must use the Sync-NAVTenant cmdlet.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Mount-NAVTenant DynamicsNAV -Id 'Test' -DatabaseName 'Test_Database'

This example mounts a tenant, 'Test', that is based on the tenant database 'Test_Database' on the specified Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance.

EXAMPLE 2

Mount-NAVTenant DynamicsNAV Test Test_Database

This example mounts a tenant, 'Test', that is based on the tenant database 'Test_Database' on the specified Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. The example uses positional arguments for the parameter values.

EXAMPLE 3

Mount-NAVTenant DynamicsNAV -Id 'Test' -DatabaseName 'Test_Database' -DatabaseCredentials (Get-Credential)

This example mounts a tenant, 'Test', that is based on the tenant database 'Test_Database' on the specified Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. The example configures SQL authentication on the connection to the database with credentials that are obtained from the Get-Credential cmdlet.

EXAMPLE 4

Get-NAVTenant Server1 | Mount-NAVTenant Server2

This example gets information about the tenants that are mounted against the Server1 Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance and mounts them against the Server2 instance. You must then dismount the tenants from the Server1 instance.

EXAMPLE 5

Get-NAVTenant Server1 | Dismount-NavTenant Server1 -Force | Mount-NAVTenant Server2

This example gets information about the tenants that are mounted against the Server1 Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance, dismounts them, and then mounts them against the Server2 instance.

EXAMPLE 6

Mount-NAVTenant DynamicsNAV -Id 'Test' -DatabaseName 'Test_Database'-AlternateId @( "test.mydomain.com", "http://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/teamsite" )

This example mounts a tenant, 'Test', that is based on the tenant database 'Test_Database' on the specified Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance and adds a domain name and a SharePoint host URL to the alternative IDs.

EXAMPLE 7

Mount-NAVTenant -Id 'Test' -DatabaseName 'Test_Database' -DatabaseCredentials (Get-Credential) -ApplicationDatabaseServer 'MySQLServer\NAV' -ApplicationDatabaseName 'MyNavAppDatabase' -ApplicationDatabaseCredentials (Get-Credential) -KeyFilePath 'C:\key\nav.key' -KeyFilePassword (Get-Credential).Password

This example mounts a tenant, 'Test', which is based on the tenant database 'Test_Database', by specifying an application database instead of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. The application database server and instance is 'MySQLServer\NAV', and the application database is 'MyNavAppDatabase'. The example configures SQL Authentication for accessing both the tenant application databases. This example requires that you export the encryption key that is used by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance to a file with the path and file name 'C:\key\nav.key'.
