Install and initialize Industrial Equipment Manufacturing - On premises

Steps

1. Make sure a Dynamics 365 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central installation is up and running, including a database. The example below shows how to create a CRONUS demo environment.

   • For example: Download Update 21.5 for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Release Wave 2 from Official Microsoft Download Center

   • Install your partner license, replacing the standard Cronus.bclicense.

2. Download the latest Industrial Equipment Manufacturing apps package from:

   • Knowledge Downloads - Support - STAEDEAN

3. Open PowerShell ISE and run as Administrator.

   • Import the Industrial Equipment Manufacturing script in PowerShell and run the following sections.

4. Install the D365 BC Modules:

   Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\220\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.psm1"
   Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\220\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1"
   

5. Update the variables (replace parts as required):

   $apps = "TI-Common,IEM-Advanced Projects Management,IEM-Resource Management,IEM-Manufacturing and Service Integration"
   (When only installing APM, remove RM from this list)
   $serverInstance = 'BC215'
   $buildArtifactFolder = "C:\IEMOnPrem\24.0.101221.0"
   $appsSplit = $apps.Split(',')
   $i = $appsSplit.Count
   

6. When updating an existing installation, first uninstall the extensions:

   Do{
       $i--
       Write-Host "Uninstall & Unpublish $($appsSplit[$i])"
   
       $installedAppVersion = Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance $serverInstance | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $appsSplit[$i] } | %{"$($_.Version.Major).$($_.Version.Minor).$($_.Version.Build).$($_.Version.Revision)"}
       Uninstall-NAVApp -Name $appsSplit[$i] -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $installedAppVersion
       Unpublish-NAVApp -Name $appsSplit[$i] -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $installedAppVersion
   }
   Until($i -eq 0)
   

7. Install or update the extensions:

   $apps.Split(',') | ForEach-Object {
       $appName = $_
       $AllAppFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $buildArtifactFolder -Filter "*.app" -Recurse
       foreach ($AllAppFile in $AllAppFiles) {
           if ((Get-NAVAppInfo -Path $AllAppFile.FullName | Select-Object -Expand Name) -eq $appName) {
               $appFileName = $AllAppFile.FullName
           }
       }
   
       Write-Host "Install $_ ($appFileName)"
       $newAppVersion = Get-NAVAppInfo -Path $appFileName | %{"$($_.Version.Major).$($_.Version.Minor).$($_.Version.Build).$($_.Version.Revision)"}
   
       Publish-NAVApp -Path $appFileName -ServerInstance $serverInstance
       Sync-NAVApp -Name $appName -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $newAppVersion
       Install-NAVApp -Name $appName -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $newAppVersion
   }
   

Result:

Once completed, the following entries appear in Extension Management:

• To access the Industrial Equipment Manufacturing functionality, change to the APM-Project Manager role center.

• To extend the Cronus demo data for APM/RM/MFG, import and install the configuration packages from: RapidStart-W1.ENU.TI-JMS-CRONUS.zip.
