Sync-NAVTenant Error when upgrading to BC 16.2

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BreedX 5

Hi Experts,

We have encountered the error below when upgrading the database from BC16.1 to BC 16.2. Previously the database is upgraded from BC15 to BC16.0, then we upgrade from BC16.0 to BC16.1 when released. We upgraded smoothly with no issue. Recently, we tried to upgrade the database to latest BC version(16.2) but hitting the error below when running this command: Sync-NAVTenant -ServerInstance BC161 -Tenant default -Mode Sync -Force

Upgrading the standard database has no issue. But hit the error when upgrading the customer database. 

Any hint for this error is much appreciated. Thank you

Here is the error taken from EventViewer:

Message (ArgumentException): RootException: ArgumentException

    Hi,

    Thank you for sharing this solution.

    Dropping the $AppData tables made that I could execute Sync-NavTenant succesfully

    Microsoft support provided the possible solutions but it does not resolved the error.

    So, we ended up analyzing the tables and debugging.

    Here are the steps we did:

    1. DELETE FROM dbo.$ndo$navappschemasnapshot WHERE [istableextension] = 1 and originalobjectid = <custom object ID range>

    2. Run Sync-NAVTenant. In our case, we still getting the error

    3. Drop all tables with $AppData. Not sure why these tables exists after converted from 15.2 to 16.1. We found these tables exists in some ways but from other databases that we converted it doesn't.

    4. Run Sync-NAVTenant again.

    We solved our issue for these steps.

    Hope this will help

    Hello,

    I assume that it is best to raise a support ticket via your CSP.

    Thanks.
