Posted on by Jerome Cader 62

Trying an upgrade from BC Cronus v14 CU18 with a 2 custom tables to BC v19.4 on premise,

using the following guide docs.microsoft.com/.../upgrade-to-microsoft-base-app-v19

On Task 14: Task 14: Synchronize final extensions

Sync-NAVApp -ServerInstance BC19CronusAllObj -Name "bc14baseapptablesonly" -Version 1.1.0.0

gives the error

Sync-NAVApp : Changes to the tenant database could not be applied. Affected tables will not be available.
The first error was:
Cannot delete the O365 Device Setup Instructions table from the Demo Test5 Database NAV (14-0) database because it contains data
for the company.
Retry the operation when the problem has been resolved.

when trying to force the sync

Sync-NAVApp -ServerInstance BC19CronusAllObj -Name "bc14baseapptablesonly" -Version 1.1.0.0 -Mode ForceSync -Force

gets the error :

Sync-NAVApp : The following SQL error occurred after the SQL command was canceled:
Either the parameter @objname is ambiguous or the claimed @objtype (OBJECT) is wrong.
Error: The input parameter 'OldName' is not allowed to be null.

    Hello,

    Best probably is to raise this issue to Microsoft.

    Thank you.

    Issue resolved after updating the app.json for the upgrade extension.

    Hi Jerome,

    Which property did you need to update in the app.json ?

    Thanks.

    Hi Creppz,

    Did this solve your issue ? What should be updated in the app.json ?

    Hello,
     
    The error happens because the O365 Device Setup Instructions table still has data, BC can’t delete it during Task 14.
    Fix:
    Delete all data from that table.
    Restart the BC19 server.
    Re-run syncs in order:
    System App → Base App → Application → other extensions → your migration app.
    Only use ForceSync if Microsoft explicitly says so.
     
    Regards,
    Oussama Sabbouh
