Upgrade from NAV2015 to BC

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 35

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to upgrade a customized NAV2015 to BC on cloud. First, we have to upgrade it to BC14 onPrem. This step is easy, upgrade objects, upgrade data… like all the upgrades. The result is a BC14 onPrem customized database.

Looking the official documentation, it’s said that we must convert the customized APP from C/AL to AL, creating a customized BaseApp!! What sense does it make? Shouldn’t be better to create extensions at this point, and use a standard BaseApp and the extension? In this case, how should be the transition made from customized NAV2015 to standard BC14 for not losing data in customized fields and tables?

Thank you all, hopefully tips will be welcome for everyone, I think that this should be a quite normal issue at this point for developers…

    Hello  - We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.
