Merging Objects from .FOB files

Posted on by Community Member

Hey everyone, i am currently working on Dynamics Nav to implement electronic invoicing for Italy Instances.

As the link states ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4462650/mandatory-b2b-einvoicing-in-the-italian-version-of-microsoft-dynamics ) ,

there are only about 7-8 tables/ codeunits etc updated/changed , BUT when i run the FOB objects from the CU 22 (Dynamics NAV 2017) and i import them via Import Worksheet i get multiple merge conflicts in mulitple tables and code units that are not mentioned in the link above.(about 60 warnings)

Any ideas on how i can resolve the warnings? What would you do?

    Hello Dimitri,

    First export the objects in text format, you can also convert fob file to text using powershell.

    follow the below links for reference:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/how-to--merge-application-changes

    if still you have conflicts then use compare tools like beyond compare and manually merge the changes.

    I have modified database. If i import text file,all tha changes will be overwritten

    for merging i suggest you,first export or convert your fob file into text, because for merging process u need text file.

    Hey again, after lot of research i have found that i need 3 text files for migration with Nav Development Shell.

    Original File(Demo Databse) , Modified File( My datbase) and the CU Update File.. ALL files are objects in txt

    Then i will use merge-NAVAppication command..

    What do you believe about this solution , Binesh?

    Thanks

    Go ahead, below is command.

    I suggest you, use power Shell ISE and before start merging first read carefully article and then go.

    Merge-NAVApplicationObject -OriginalPath .\ORIGINAL -TargetPath .\TARGET -ModifiedPath .\MODIFIED -ResultPath .\RESULT
