Upgrade from NAV2013R2 to NAV2015

Posted on by 2,245

Hello experts,

I need to upgrade a database from NAV2013R2 to NAV2015.

Sadly, I have failed at finding info as to how to accomplish this. The process has changed from previous versions and I'm uncertain as to how to proceed. I've found some "general" guidelines as to what's the process, but no specifics.

Does any of you have a document explaining it by any chance? :)

    Mohana, the data migration part has changed. Now there are some build-in features in the development environment to help out with that, also some newer powershell cmdlets like Jonathan's links point out. That's the part I'm having doubts with, not the objects themselves :)

    I still fail to see how the data goes from the original table to the "temporary" one and back to the original one after the conversion (and merging) in all fairness...

    What process has changed from previous versions?

    I have simply opened NAV2013R2 database with NAV2015 client

    and compiled all objects

    exported all standard objects

    Did application merged using Mergetool of NAV2015

    imported final application merged file

    compiled all objects..

    Done
