Description

Use this cmdlet when integrating Dynamics NAV with Dynamics CRM. This cmdlet creates one or more table objects in Dynamics NAV that correspond to entities in Dynamics CRM. The created tables are eventually used to map fields in Dynamics CRM with fields in business data tables of Dynamics NAV. Each table object is saved as a .txt file on your computer or network and can be imported into a Dynamics NAV database. The tables have the following characteristics:

The TableType property is set to CRM.
Contains field definitions for all fields in a Dynamics CRM entity that have a data type that is supported by Dynamics NAV. References to other Dynamics CRM entities will only be included if the entity is included in the command line.

Only external tables that are based on by actual Dynamics CRM entities are supported. In Dynamics CRM, the entities must support one or more of the following actions:

Create
Update
Delete
Retrieve
RetrieveMultiple
Associate (one-to-many relationship only)
Disassociate (one-to-many relationship only)
Execute (only for setting state)

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

New-NavCrmTable -CRMServer myserver.crm.dynamics.com -Credential (Get-Credential -UserName user@myserver.onmicrosoft.com -Message "Enter Password") -EntityLogicalName account -Name "CRM Account" -ObjectId 50500 -OutputPath c:\CrmObjects
          FileName    : c:\CrmObjects\TAB50500.TXT
          ObjectType  : Table
          Id          : 50500
          VersionList :
          Date        :
          Time        :
          Modified    : False

This example creates a single Dynamics NAV table object based on the account entity in Dynamics CRM. The created table has the ID 50500 and name CRM Account.

EXAMPLE 2

New-NavCrmTable -CRMServer myserver.crm.dynamics.com -Credential (Get-Credential -UserName user@myserver.onmicrosoft.com -Message "Enter Password") -Entity account,contact -Name "CRM Account","CRM Contact" -ObjectId 50500,50501 -OutputPath c:\CrmObjects
          FileName    : C:\CrmObjects\TAB50500.TXT
          ObjectType  : Table
          Id          : 50500
          VersionList :
          Date        :
          Time        :
          Modified    : False
          FileName    : C:\CrmObjects\TAB50501.TXT
          ObjectType  : Table
          Id          : 50501
          VersionList :
          Date        :
          Time        :
          Modified    : False

This example creates two Dynamics NAV table objects based on the account and contact entities in Dynamics CRM.

EXAMPLE 3

New-NavCrmTable -CRMServer https://myserver.local.com/myOrg -Credential (Get-Credential -UserName myserver\UserName -Message "Enter Password")  -AuthenticationType=AD -Entity account,contact -Name "CRM Account","CRM Contact" -ObjectId 50500,50501 -OutputPath c:\CrmObjects

This example creates two Dynamics NAV table objects based on the account and contact entities in on-premise Dynamics CRM installation using an with Azure AD authentication.

EXAMPLE 4

New-NavCrmTable -CRMServer . -Credential (Get-Credential -UserName "." -Password ".") -ConnectionString "Url=http://myserver.net/org;UserName=myServer\MyUser;Password=myPassword;AuthType=AD" -Entity account,conta -Name "CRM Account","CRM Contact" -ObjectId 50500,50501 -OutputPath c:\CrmObjects

This example creates two Dynamics NAV table objects based on the account and contact entities in Dynamics CRM using a user specified custom connection string.

Parameters

-AuthenticationType

Specifies the authentication type to connect to Dynamics CRM instance.

OAuth is supported for online and on-premises instances.
AD and IFD (AD FS enabled) are supported for on-premises instances only.
Office365 is permitted for online instances only.

The AuthenticationType parameter is optional. For a list of valid values, see AuthenticationType Enumeration. The default value is Office365, which is the required authentication type for CRM Online.

Possible values: AD, IFD, Office365, OAuth

Type:	Enumeration
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ClientId

Specifies the Client ID (or Application ID) that was assigned to the Dynamics NAV application when it was registered in Microsoft Azure Active Directory or Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). This parameter is only applicable when the -AuthenticationType parameter is set to OAuth.

-CRMServer

Specifies the URl of the Dynamics CRM server to connect to. The Dynamics CRM server provides access to the entity that you want to create as a table in Dynamics NAV. The URL specifies the URI scheme, such as HTTPS or HTTP, and the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that identifies the Dynamics CRM organization and the computer where the Dynamics CRM server is installed. For connecting to Dynamics CRM Online, the format is typically scheme://organizationname.domainname, such as https://mycrm.crm4.dynamics.com, where https is the scheme, myorganization is the organization and crm4.dynamics.com is the domain.

The Name parameter is optional, but if you use it, you must specify the names of all new tables, not just one. If you do not specify names, then the tables get the entity logical names as specified by the EntityLogicalName parameter.
