Posted on by Kittamet R.

Hello,

I got error while publish Microsoft Base Application when upgrading business central v20 to v23. I don't know what's happen and I did follow this guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/upgrade-technical-upgrade-v23 and still stuck in section publish new base application (v23). Anyone have the same issue like this? If you faced the same problem please share the solutions to me.

Thanks in advance.

Errors :

Publish-NAVApp : Extension compilation failed

And this is my powershell script that I used for this time.

Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance $OldBcServerInstance | % { Uninstall-NAVApp -ServerInstance $OldBcServerInstance -Name $_.Name -Version $_.Version }
Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance $OldBcServerInstance -SymbolsOnly | % { Unpublish-NAVApp -ServerInstance $OldBcServerInstance -Name $_.Name -Version $_.Version }

Invoke-NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion -DatabaseServer $DatabaseServer -DatabaseName $ApplicationDatabase

Import-NAVServerLicense -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance -LicenseFile $PartnerLicense
Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance | Repair-NAVApp
Restart-NAVServerInstance -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance
Sync-NAVTenant -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance -Tenant default -Mode Sync

I tried but still got same error.

I used step like this :

Restore database after uninstall and unpublish old extension version.

Invoke-NAVApplicationDatabaseConversion -DatabaseServer $DatabaseServer -DatabaseName $ApplicationDatabase

Import-NAVServerLicense -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance -LicenseFile $PartnerLicense

Restart-NAVServerInstance -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance
Sync-NAVTenant -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance -Tenant default -Mode Sync >> Use this command or not still got the same errors.

Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance BC23 -Path "C:\Microsoft_System Application.app"
Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance BC23-Path "C:\Microsoft_Base Application.app"

and.. error occurs.

I think it's already installed when I install business central. Is that correct?

Hi,

If you are trying to do a full upgrade, then you are referring the wrong article.

You should be using this article - Upgrading Microsoft System and Base Application to Version 23 - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

You can also refer this video - https://youtu.be/J6O6rzUjE4Y (Steps will be more or less same).

Hi Saurav,

Thanks for your reply.

I did follow your videos and got new error but the old errors I didn't use this command before convert database.

UPDATE [master].[dbo].[$ndo$srvproperty] SET [license] = null
UPDATE [<app database name>].[dbo].[$ndo$dbproperty] SET [license] = null
UPDATE [<tenant database name>].[dbo].[$ndo$tenantproperty] SET [license] = null

I'm not sure it's related or not?

And this is new error after user command to import new partner license. (Import-NAVServerLicense -ServerInstance $NewBcServerInstance -LicenseFile $PartnerLicense)
