Can't Successfully Invoke NAVApp Database Conversion During Upgrade

Posted on by Bryma 4

Hello Everyone,

I recently encountered an error during business central upgrade from version 18.0 to 19.0.

After successfully uninstalling the extensions and unpublish all system symbols, I proceeded to the next step which was to run the Invoke-

NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion.  I got an error message: 

Cmdlet Unpublish-NAVApp 19.0.29 ... Microsoft. Dynamics. Nav.Apps . Management
Cmdlet Update-NAVScheduledTaskList 19.0.29 ... Microsoft. Dynamics. Nav. Management
PS C:\Windows\system32> Invoke-NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion -DatabaseServer "EVA-SQL\EVA" -DatabaseName "EvaDB"
Invoke-NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion : Changes to the tenant database could not be applied. Affected tables will not be available The first error was:
The system symbols could not be inserted into the database.
Retry the operation when the problem has been resolved.
At line:1 char :1
+ Invoke-NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion -DatabaseServer "EVA-SQL\E ..
------------------------------------------------------------------
CategoryInfo NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Invoke-NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion], NavSqlDatabaseSyncException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : EVA-SQL\EVA, Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management. Cmdlets.InvokeNAVApplicationDatabaseConversion
What could be wrong and how can I rectify this?
Thanks
