Establishing a connection with Dime.Scheduler

The FastTrack wizard guides you through each of the supported modules. You can enable each solution separately and select the appropriate settings for each. In this article, we focus on the first step of the process: establishing a connection with Dime.Scheduler.

tip

You can find the wizard by looking for Dime.Scheduler FastTrack Wizard in the search bar.

Fast track wizard

Let's go over the fields one by one.

Source application​

The source application code identifies the data sent from a Dynamics BC company to Dime.Scheduler, allowing the latter to send planning data back to the right company. By default, the FastTrack Wizard generates a SourceApp code based on the company name but you can modify this to any other value.

If you connect to multiple companies, from the same or from different database(s), or other applications, to a single installation of Dime.Scheduler, please ensure that the SourceApp code is unique for each back office application connected to Dime.Scheduler.

Scheduler Url​

Enter the URI to the Dime.Scheduler Web Service. This URI is the same for all companies or applications that are connected with the same installation of Dime.Scheduler.

The URI has the following format:

  • For Dime.Scheduler 2017 or above: http://<servername:port number>/
  • For any version prior to that: http://<servername:port number>/webservices/DimeScheduler.svc?singleWsdl

Replace <servername:port number> by the name or IP address of the server on which Dime.Scheduler is installed and optionally add the port number if this is required. Ask your network administrator for the right settings.

Scheduler User​

Enter the user name with which you will connect.

This user must exist in Dime.Scheduler and must be a Forms user. Windows and Azure AD users are not supported for the integration services.

Scheduler Password​

Enter the password for the user specified above.

Connection Tested​

Before proceeding, you must validate the connection settings. To do this, simply toggle the button.

When the connection is successful, the "Connection Tested" button is set to true and the "Next" button of the wizard is enabled. If you receive an error message, check the entered connection settings and contact your network administrator or the person who installed Dime.Scheduler to obtain the correct settings.

Url Client Type​

You can choose between:

  • Web
  • Windows
  • Table
