Hi all,
I guess most of us know how to install JET Reports. If you still don't know then just follow the steps in Post.
The Configuration before NAV 2013 is different than in NAV 2013 or Later.
Reason - JET Report used C Front till NAV 2009 R2 to connect to database. As now C Front component have been discontinued by Microsoft.
How Jet Report Connects to Navision Database in NAV 2013 onward?
JET Report usages web services to connect to the database.
What we will cover in the post?
We will see, How to -
1) Install Jet Reports.
2) Jet Report Objects (Require to import them before configuring).
3) Create a new service or you can use the same service. (I Prefer a new one)
4) Create a web service by connecting to windows client.
5) Setup Web service details into JET Report in Excel.
6) Provide the license (Licensing have also been changed by Jet Report. Now you require the activation code.)
So Let's Begin -
1 Install Jet Reports.
- Download the Latest Build of Jet Report LINK.
