Remote Functions

Several "low level" functions are not available in Business Central because they need a physical (virtual) server to be executed. For example: database access (ODBC), local file system, FTP, SFTP...

"Remote Functions" are a convenient way to use these functions via Web Services through a remote server.

The server must be well configured and secured, later you can setup multiple function profiles through the "Remote Functions" page:

  • Code and description of the server (to identify it)
  • API URL endpoint
  • Access Token

The preferred server is used when a specific server is not chosen.
