Hi

I need to export the data structure without business data for testing.  Is there an interface in navision 2013 or sql that has such function?

Thanks.

    If you are using Dynamics NAV 2013 then you are lucky because you can take the FBK backup from the development environment.

    To get the backup :

    Open the Development environment and then open the company.

    Go to Tools -> Backup.

    In the window untick the "Application Objects" checkbox and take the backup.

    And then create a new database using development environment and restore the backup.

    Once you done you will get a empty database.

    Or else without doing anything you can create a new company in the same database and use it for testing.

    Hi,

    If you are using 2013 version then take fbk backup of database from Tools -> Backup and select only "Application Objects" checkbox checked. Restore this backup in new blank database.
