Cumulative Updates - only to upgrade the platform

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Isaksig 80

Hi there,

Are there some disadvantages with only upgrading the platform environment but not the application objects. We are considering upgrading to the latest Cumulative Update but want to save a lot of work upgrading the objects, but of course we want to keep our product as stable as possible.

Thanks,

Isak.

    Hi

    It is a best practice to implement the application changes also at the time of upgrading build.

    Upgrade build only will run into issues if any of the server and client files used by the Application, so recommended to do both application and platform upgrade at same time

    Regards

    Hi isaksig,

     
    Are there some disadvantages with only upgrading the platform environment but not the application objects and can you give me some examples?



    As per best practice you should always update both application and Platform Hotfix. I understand that we cannot do it frequently for a customer as CU's released every month. But still in a period of 6 month you can merge the application fix on the database.

    If i am wrong, I have read somewhere that NAV 2013 + Latest CU Objects, NAV 2013 R2 + Latest CU Objects & NAV 2015 + Latest CU Objects are on the same code base, i.e the code will be same in all three versions if you are on Latest CU's.

    Someone senior may confirm the above statement.

    Applying the Application Objects fix - you also make the code optimized. As per my understanding with Cu's the code is now more optimized with every CU and it will also reduce the cost of Upgrade when you plan.

    I hope it clears your doubts.
