Self-Hosted Installation

Import to Finance and Operations

This page will guide you through the configuration of the first part of the Lasernet for Dynamics solution, Lasernet FO Connector.

Import Lasernet Packages

Users should now import the Lasernet deployable package into the Finance and Operations environment. This package should have been downloaded in the previous steps from this page.

When deploying the package to FO, always follow Microsoft's latest guidelines. These can be found here:

Either through LCS - Apply a deployable package to an environment

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/deployment/apply-deployable-package-system

Or by installing a deployable package - Requires RDP access to environment

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/deployment/install-deployable-package

Once this package is deployed to FO, the Lasernet module is available in the module list:

Import License Code

Your Lasernet Connector license code will have been sent to your organization when the Connector order was completed. The easiest way to configure this is to copy the license code from the email that was sent into the parameters. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Lasernet > Setup > Parameters, then click Edit.

2. Navigate to the License terms tab, copy the license key into the License code box, then click Save.

3. Paste the license code into the License code box, then click Save.

Import Default Configurations

Once the module is available, we can begin to configure it by applying some of the setups that were referenced in the prerequisites section of this guide. Users now need to import the default configuration. Follow these steps to do so:

1. Navigate to Lasernet > Common >Backup > Import Lasernet backup.

2. The following form will open. Leave the selection as “Browser” and click OK.

3. Click Browse to navigate to the FO default configuration file that you downloaded as one of the prerequisite steps.

4. Select the file from the Default Configurations list (named “LAC365FO 61XX” or similar). This is the XML file that should be imported into Finance and Operations.

When the file has loaded, the following screen is displayed:

5. Accept the default selections and click OK. By default, the configuration will be imported to the legal entity to which you are currently logged in; leave only that entity selected and click OK.

6. Leave the Batch import settings as default and click OK again. The configuration will be imported.

All the default configurations, including several standard reports to help with testing and familiarization, have now been loaded into the selected Legal Entity.
