Description

Use the Set-NAVServerConfiguration cmdlet to configure settings for a Business Central Server instance. Values are written directly to the configuration file for the instance (CustomSettings.config). New setting values do not take effect until you restart the server instance.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Set-NAVServerConfiguration MyInstance -KeyName DatabaseServer -KeyValue DatabaseServer.Domain.Com

In this example, the Set-NAVServerConfiguration cmdlet sets the value for the 'DatabaseServer' key to 'DatabaseServer.Domain.Com' for a Business Central Server instance, MyInstance.

Parameters

-ApplyTo

Specifies where to apply the configuration change that is specified by the cmdlet. You can specify the parameter value by name or by integer according to the following:

ConfigFile or 0: Saves the change to the configuration file of the server instance. The change will not take effect until the server instance is restarted.

Memory or 1: The setting change is just applied to the server instance's current setting state. This is only applicable for server settings which support dynamic updating. If the specified setting is not dynamically updateable this command will fail.

All or 2: Applies the change to the server instance's current setting state (in memory) and to the configuration file. This is only applicable for server settings that support dynamic updating. If the setting does not support dynamic updating, the cmdlet will fail with an error. The change will not be applied to the current session or the configuration file.
