1.1 Introduction

Commerce Gateway

Commerce Gateway opens up Microsoft Dynamics NAV so that companies can
electronically exchange trading documents with their business partners irrespective of
each other's conversion requirements and data formats. This exchange of documents
means that companies can streamline their business processes and reduce transaction
costs. Commerce Gateway also makes it easier for companies to meet the changing
demands of their trading partners, regardless of the industry they are in, the system
that they use or the standards that their partners require. Commerce Gateway supports
the most common trading documents.

Commerce Gateway provides integration with Microsoft BizTalk Server. BizTalk Server
is a data and business process integration server, which facilitates e-commerce business
processes. It comprises a document interchange engine, a business process execution
engine, and a set of tools for managing business documents and the server. There are
also tools for managing trading partner relationships as well as tracking transactions.

Commerce Gateway setup and BizTalk administration can be accessed from the IT
Administration menu in Dynamics NAV.

For more information about Commerce Gateway, see the Commerce Gateway Training
Course and the Dynamics NAV online Help.

BizTalk Server 2006

BizTalk Server 2006 is the latest release of Microsoft’s Business Process Management
technology.

The initial introduction of BizTalk Server 2000 demonstrated Microsoft’s early
leadership in defining Business Process Management functionality and supporting
XML. BizTalk Server 2004 provided feature set refinement and performance
enhancements.

BizTalk Server 2006 is Microsoft's premiere server for building solutions for business
process and integration. BizTalk Server 2006, the fourth major version of the product,
builds on the innovation and success of the previous three versions – BizTalk Server
versions 2000, 2002, and 2004.

BizTalk 2006 includes new capabilities and engine improvements that allow a
developer to create more flexible solutions for integrated business processes, and
BizTalk 2006 empowers and enables administrators and business users to more
effectively monitor ongoing business processes.

For more information about BizTalk Server 2006, read the documentation that comes
with the product or see the BizTalk Server 2006 Installation and Upgrade Guides.

1.2 Installing Commerce Gateway

Planning your Installation

Planning your installation of Commerce Gateway requires more careful consideration
than a typical Dynamics NAV installation. This is due to the distributed nature of the
product.

Commerce Gateway consists of three key application layers:

• Dynamics NAV clients that communicate with the BizTalk Server.
These must have the Commerce Gateway Request Client automation object
installed.

• An Application Server for Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
This must be correctly configured and must also have the Commerce Gateway
Request Client installed.

• A Microsoft BizTalk Server.
This must have the Commerce Gateway Request Server installed.

1.2 Installing Commerce Gateway

In addition to the basic components, you must install Visual Studio if you need to edit
or modify the BizTalk Server project files.

Security must also be considered, as a typical Commerce Gateway installation exposes a
Dynamics NAV system to an external network. Security best practice includes a good
firewall but this is not always sufficient protection, especially if the final connection
allows access to the Internet. Microsoft has many security tips for networked systems
and a thorough review of this material would be valuable to you and your customers.

Chapter 1. Commerce Gateway 5.00 for BizTalk Server 2006

Installation Overview

Commerce Gateway requires that you install several software products on a Windows
operating system.

You must also set up certain security information. We strongly recommend that you do
these things in the following order:

1 Install SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 1 or later – this will install Microsoft .NET

Framework 2.0 which is a requirement for Commerce Gateway.

2 Install BizTalk Server 2006 – Commerce Gateway can run on the Developer,

Enterprise or Standard edition.

In the last window of the BizTalk Server installation wizard enter a check mark and
run the configuration tool.

3 Install Commerce Gateway Request Server

4 Set up security (Windows 2003/BizTalk Server settings)

5 Install the C/SIDE Client for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.00 or later

6 Install C/SIDE Database Server for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.00

7 Install Application Server for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.00

8 Install the Commerce Gateway Broker if you are running more than one NAV

Commerce Gateway can run on either C/SIDE Database Server or on SQL Server.
However, even if you only intend to use C/SIDE Database Server, you must still install
SQL Server because BizTalk Server depends on SQL Server as this is where, for example,
BizTalk Server temporarily stores BizTalk messages.

In this manual we are running SQL Server on Windows Server 2003.

Further Information

Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, SQL Server 2005, BizTalk Server 2006 and
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 See Microsoft’s documentation for information

about installing and configuring these products. A Dynamics NAV client running
Commerce Gateway can also run on Windows XP.

Application Server for Microsoft Dynamics NAV For installation and setup
information, see the manual Installation & System Management: Application Server for

Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Client For installation and setup information, see the
manual Installation & System Management: C/SIDE Database Server for Microsoft
