Upgrading Business Central Invoke Error

Posted on by

I am new to this and have been given the task of updating Business Central from v19 to v20. I was able to do it through the Microsoft docs, but the task I have now is to create a whole script from beginning to end so it can be run at once without doing it step by step. When I am at the Invoke-NavApplicationDatabaseConversion command and run it I get this error:

Invoke-NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion : A technical upgrade of database 'Demo Database BC (19-0)' on server
'LOCALHOST\BCDEMO' cannot be run, because the database�s application version '131112' is greater than or equal to the
platform version '131112'.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? 

Here is my entire script if it helps:

Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\190\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1"



$OldBcServerInstance = "BC190"
$NewBcServerInstance = "BC200"
$ApplicationDatabase = "Demo Database BC (19-0)" 
$DatabaseServer = "localhost\BCDEMO"
$SystemAppPath = "C:\BBS\cu2\Dynamics.365.BC.38230.US.DVD (1)\Applications\system application\source\Microsoft_System Application.app"
$BaseAppPath = "C:\BBS\cu2\Dynamics.365.BC.38230.US.DVD (1)\Applications\BaseApp\Source\Microsoft_Base Application.app"
$ApplicationAppPath = "C:\BBS\cu2\Dynamics.365.BC.38230.US.DVD (1)\Applications\Application\Source\Microsoft_Application.app"
$NewBCVersion = "20.0.37253.38230"
$PartnerLicense = "C:\BBS\5317559_BC20\5317559.flf"
$CustomerLicense = "The file path and name of the customer license"
$AddinsFolder = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\190\Service\Add-ins\"
