Export Notes From NAV 2015 and Import To Business Central Online

Posted on by azharsaeedkhan

I am trying to export all the customer Notes from NAV 2015 to BC Online. I have developed an XMLPort to export the notes from "Record Link" table. For the Field "Note" of type BLOB i am reading the data into BigText using streams.

The Export part is successfull and i have a file containing all the customer Notes.

But now to import it back to Business Central, i need to write the data bit by bit into "Note" field of Table "Record Link".
I am unable to do so.

Do you have any idea how to do that? Can we directly use data migration tool to migrate data from system tables? or is there any other way to do so?

Thank you JAngle

"Record Link Management".WriteNote(RecordLink, NoteText) is the function i was looking for.

Sample of what I used to do this:

procedure CreateSystemLink(IncomingRecordID: RecordId; NoteText: Text)

var

RecordLink: Record "Record Link";

LinkManagement: Codeunit "Record Link Management";

begin

LastEntryNo += 1;

RecordLink.Init();

RecordLink.Company := CompanyName();

RecordLink.Type := RecordLink.Type::Note;

RecordLink.Created := CurrentDateTime;

RecordLink."User ID" := UserId();

RecordLink."Link ID" := LastEntryNo;

RecordLink."Record ID" := IncomingRecordID;

LinkManagement.WriteNote(RecordLink, NoteText);

RecordLink.Insert(true);

end;

procedure GetLastEntryNo()

var

RecordLink: Record "Record Link";

begin

if RecordLink.FindLast() then

LastEntryNo := RecordLink."Link ID"

else

LastEntryNo := 0;

end;

var

LastEntryNo: Integer;

}

Import to a dedicated table. Write a codeunit to loop through and create the system link
