Export-NAVApplicationObject does not have a NavServerInstance parameter but Import-NAVApplicationObject has

Posted on by tpokorra 25

I would like to use

Export-NAVApplicationObject MyAppSrc.txt -DatabaseName MyApp | Split-NAVApplicationObject -Destination MyAppSrc

to get all objects from my NavServer, as documented on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.dynamics.nav.ide/export-navapplicationobject?view=dynamicsnav-ps-2018

But unlike Import-NAVApplicationObject (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.dynamics.nav.ide/import-navapplicationobject?view=dynamicsnav-ps-2018), there are no parameters for NavServerName, NavServerInstance, NavServerManagementPort.

Is Export only possible on the server itself? I would have liked to use it from the Dynamics Nav 2018 Development Shell on my development machine.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

    I found now in Object Designer, File/Database/Information, the proper values for Database Server and Database Name. With those values, the export works:

    Export-NAVApplicationObject -Path MyAppSrc.txt -DatabaseName navdev -DatabaseServer MY-SERVER\DYNAMICSNAV -Filter 'Type=Codeunit;Id=1..10'

    So there seems to be no need for specifying the NavServerInstance etc.

    Hello, why do you need the NavServername, and Instance, when you exporting or importing the objects, you are doing on that a specific database rather then on NAVInstance. There are parameters for you to specify the databasesever and databasename for that cmdlet.

    Hi Timotheus,

    Try using the Powershell ISE to get the list parameters to be passed to Export-NAVApplicationObject command.
