BC On-Premises - Create New Database from Powershell

Posted on by 305

Hi,

I try to deploy BC On-Prem 2022 release wave 1 CU12. For some technical reasons I'm not able to restore a Demo Database in our environment. So I'm following instructions found on MS site: Creating Databases in Business Central

I installed all BC Components. Then I created the database

New-NAVApplicationDatabase -DatabaseServer 'SQLSERVER\SQLINSTANCE' -DatabaseName 'PRODUCTION' -Collation Polish_100_CS_AS
Set-NAVServerConfiguration -ServerInstance 'BC_Service' -KeyName DatabaseName -KeyValue 'PRODUCTION'

db_owner privileges granted to BC Service Account.

I can start the BC Service without any errors.

Next I executed following commands

Set-NAVApplication -ServerInstance 'BC_Service' -ApplicationVersion 20.0.54861 -Force
New-NAVCompany -ServerInstance 'BC_Service' -CompanyName 'Company' -CompanyDisplayName 'Company Name' 
Sync-NAVTenant -ServerInstance 'BC_Service' -Mode ForceSync -Verbose 

I restarted the BC Service. When I try to open BC an error occures: The metadata object Page 0 was not found.

So I tried to install all the system apps, even if MS is saying "For Business Central 2021 release wave 1 and later, you don't have to publish the symbols, because they've been automatically published for you.".

Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance 'BC_Service' -Path 'C:\DVD\Applications\system application\source\Microsoft_System Application.app' -Verbose
Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance 'BC_Service' -Path 'C:\DVD\Applications\BaseApp\Source\Microsoft_Base Application.app' -Verbose
Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance 'BC_Service' -Path 'C:\DVD\Applications\Application\Source\Microsoft_Application.app' -Verbose

I ran Sync-NAVTenant, Sync-NAVApp and restarted the BC Service several times, no luck, still same error The metadata object Page 0 was not found.

In SSMS I can see all the SQL Tables and Views were created successfully.

Am I missing something? How to create and deploy new empty BC On-Prem Database?
