Issue upgrading BC 24.6 to BC 25 - Sync-NAVApp Error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'am upgrading a BC 24.6 database to BC 25.0.25411 on prem.

When running the command:

Sync-NAVApp -ServerInstance BC250 -Tenant Default -Name "Base application" -Version 25.0.23364.25445

The following error appears:

Sync-NAVApp : [31;1mSync-NAVApp: [0m
[31;1m[36;1mLine |[0m

It seems that Microsoft removed this field but didn't handle it correctly during the migration process. Is this possible? Is it safe to use the -Force sync to remove this field? how can I check if this is in use somewhere?

I can't find any information in the upgrade steps
