NoteIf the old Dynamics NAV application uses Payment Services for Microsoft Dynamics ERP, be aware that this was discontinued in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017. This means that most of the objects that are associated with this feature will be deleted during the upgrade. Some objects you will have to manually delete. Task 1: Prepare the old database.Use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment that matches the old database to build all application objects.For more information, see.Unlock all application objects.For more information, see.Synchronize the database schema by using the development environment or Dynamics NAV Administration Shell that matches the old database.For more information, see.Task 2: Create a full SQL backup of the old database on SQL ServerYou must create a full backup of the old database in the SQL Server. Alternatively, you can make a copy of the old database and perform the upgrade tasks on the copy.For more information, see.
Task 3 Uninstall all V1 extensions in old databaseOpen the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell that matches to old database, and run these commands:.To get a list of the V1 extensions that are installed, run this command: Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance -Tenant ftReplace with the name of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance that the database connects to. Replace with the tenant ID of the database.
ImportantDo not run schema synchronization at this time. Task 9: Import the upgraded application objects and upgrade toolkit objects into the converted databaseUsing the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 development environment, import the application objects that you want in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 database. This includes the application objects FOB file (from the application code upgrade) and the upgrade toolkit objects FOB file.Import the application objects FOB file first, and then import the upgrade toolkit FOB file.For more information, see.When you import the FOB file, if you experience metadata conflicts, the Import Worksheet windows appears.Review the Worksheet page. ImportantWhen upgrading a large database, you should increase the SQL Command Timeout setting for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance, to avoid timeouts during schema synchronization. The default setting is 30 minutes.For more information, see. Task 11: Compile all objects that are not already compiled.In the development environment, set it to use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance that connects to the database.For more information, see or.Use the development environment or finsql.exe to compile all objects that are not already compiled. This includes the imported application objects, data tables, and system tables.
ImportantChoose to run schema synchronization later. For example, in Object Designer, choose Tools, choose Compile, set the Synchronize Schema option to Later, and then choose OK. For more information, see.(Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 and earlier only) If you get errors on the following table objects, use the Object Designer to delete the objects because they are no longer used.
Table 470 Job Queue (replaced by the ). Table 824 DO Payment Connection Details. Table 825 DO Payment Connection Setup.
Table 827 DO Payment Credit Card. Table 828 DO Payment Credit Card Number. Table 829 DO Payment Trans. Log Entry.
Table 1510 Notification TemplateWhen you delete a table object, in the.Delete. confirmation dialog box that appears, set the.Synchronize Schema. option to.Force. !IMPORTANT In this step, it is very important that you do not use the.Sync. Schema For All Tables. option from the.Tools.
menu.(Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 and earlier only) If the old database includes test runner codeunits, you will get errors on these codeunits that the OnBeforeTestRun and OnAfterTestRun trigger signatures are not valid. To fix these issues, you change the signature of the OnBeforeTestRun and OnAfterTestRun triggers to include the TestPermission parameter.For more information, see.The triggers for codeunit 130400 CAL Test Runner and 130402 CAL Command Line Test Runner will be updated for you during the data upgrade.Task 12: Run the schema synchronization on the imported objectsSynchronize the database schema with validation. You can run the schema synchronization from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment or Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell.For more information, see.
Task 13: Run the data upgrade processA data upgrade runs the upgrade toolkit objects, such as upgrade codeunits and upgrade tables, to migrate business data from the old table structure to the new table structure. You can start the data upgrade from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment or Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell. NoteIn the last phase of data upgrade, all companies will be initialized by running codeunit 2 Company Initialization.
This is done automatically. If you want to skip company initialization, then use the Start-NavDataUpgrade cmdlet and set the -SkipCompanyIntitialization parameter.From the development environment:Open development environment as an administrator. NoteThis command does not generate a file.
It populates the Object Metadata table in the database.When you run the command, the console returns to an empty command prompt, and does not display or provide any indication about the status of the run. However, the finsql.exe may still be running in the background. It can take several minutes for the run to complete, and the symbols will not be generated until such time. You can see whether the finsql.exe is still running by using Task Manager and looking on the Details tab for finsql.exe.When the process ends, a file named navcommandresult.txt is saved to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client installation folder. If the command succeeded, the file will contain text like 0 06/12/17 14:36:17 The command completed successfully in '177' seconds. If the command failed, another file named naverrorlog.txt will be generated. This file contains details about the error(s) that occurred.For more information about generation symbols, see.Publish all the extensions from the Extensions folder of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 installation media (DVD):.From the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell, run the following command for each extension.
Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance -Path V1 extensions have the file type.navx. V2 extensions have the file type.app.For each Extension V2, run the following command to synchronize its schema with the tenant database: Sync-NAVApp -ServerInstance -Name -Version For more information about publishing extensions, see.Upgrade the V1 extensions that you uninstalled previously in Task 3 by reinstalling them. From the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell, run the following commands:.To get a list of the published extensions on the server instance, run this command: Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance.To determine which V1 extensions to install, inspect the list that appears, and compare it with the list that you gathered in Task 3.
