Hi Experts,

I try to upgrade from 2009 R2 to 2013 and now I am at this point, can someone explain to me the meaning of the red sentence and where can i found the comparaison tool.

To prepare new base version objects

Open the new base version database using the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Development Environment.
Export all objects in .txt format into the NewBaseVersion folder. Do not include system tables and reports. Name the file NewBaseVersion.txt.
Export all report objects in .txt format into the NewBaseVersion folder. Name the file NewBaseVersion_Reports.txt.

For each version, split the converted .txt files into single objects and review them using a file comparison tool. Delete the objects that are identical and not customized.

You can now start comparing the converted objects.

Best Regards

BeyondCompare,KDiff can be used for this merge. Merge Tool is an another powerful tool that can be used for merging objects.

that tool is good.

If you have added any version list for modified objects then you can check only those objects.

otherwise you need to compare all objects.

If you use mergetool as suggested in another post then it will do most of the work and show you objects only which have conflicts.

It means you need to split the file which you exported from Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment. Once you split you will have text files for each object.

You can follow this guide : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn271652%28v=nav.90%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

You can use this link to know how to split the objects : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn789718(v=nav.90).aspx
