Article
08/24/2017

This article lists new or removed configuration settings for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance since the previous release. These settings are available in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Administration tool and directly in the CustomSettings.config file of a server instance.

General settings

Setting	Description
Default Language	Specifies which of the installed Dynamics NAV languages on the server instance will be used as the default language in the clients. Set the value to a valid language culture name, such en-US or da-DK. In the Dynamics NAV Web and Tablet clients, the Default Language setting determines the language that is used if the web browser's language setting does not match any installed language or a language in the Supported Languages setting, if used. In the Dynamics NAV Windows client, this is the language that is used if the language setting of the computer does not have a match. If there are application-specific configuration settings, this setting will be overridden by the default language setting that is specified in application-specific configuration file. For more information, see Set-NAVServerAppConfiguration cmdlet. Default: en-US
Enable Incremental Company Deletion	Specifies whether to delete companies incrementally. If you enable this setting, when you delete a company, the company record is deleted from the database immediately but the company data that is stored in the SQL tables will be deleted later by the task scheduler. You can override this setting when using the Remove-NAVCompany cmdlet by setting the -ForceImmediateDataDeletion parameter. Default: Not enabled
Supported Languages	Specifies which of the installed Dynamics NAV languages on the server instance will be available for use in the clients. If you do not specify a language, then all installed languages will be available. In the client, users can switch among the supported languages. The setting's value is a semicolon-separated list that contains the language culture names for each language. For example, if you want client users to be able to choose among da-DK, en-US, and en-CA, set the value to da-DK;en-US;en-CA. If you specify any languages in this setting, then you must include the language that you specified in the Default Language setting. If there are application-specific configuration settings, this setting will be overridden by the supported language setting that is specified in application-specific configuration file. For more information, see Set-NAVServerAppConfiguration cmdlet.

Database settings

SQL Connection Idle Timeout	Specifies the time that a SQL connection can remain idle before being closed. The value has the format HH:MM:SS. Default: 00:05:00

If this threshold is exceeded, the following event is logged: Action completed successfully, but it took longer than the given threshold. Default: 1000
