The database can be a dedicated application database, or a database that contains all Business Central tables.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Mount-NAVApplication BC -DatabaseServer dbserver1 -DatabaseName 'Business Central app'

This example mounts the Business Central application on the BC server instance. The application is contained in the Business Central app database, which is hosted on the dbserver1 database server.

EXAMPLE 2

Mount-NAVApplication BC -DatabaseServer dbserver1 -DatabaseName 'Business Central app' -DatabaseCredentials (Get-Credential)

The database credentials (user name and password) are provided in a dialog box that results from the call to the Get-Credential cmdlet.
