Upgrades after Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013


With the release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, Microsoft introduced the PowerShell upgrade, which automates code merging as well as data upgrades. In order to take advantage of the PowerShell upgrade process, you need to be at least on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013.

There are some limitations to the automated upgrade:

  • If the names of your old variables are used in the newer version as a function or statement, you must change them before you upgrade
  • If your old code calls functions do not exist anymore in the newer version, you must verify that the upgrade codeunits migrate data correctly
  • If the code you're coming from causes some fields on the table to be dropped, you'll need to make sure that it doesn't
  • If your company name uses special reserved characters in Microsoft Dynamics NAV (such as, ~, @, #, $, %, &, *, (), ., !, %, -, +, /, =, and ? ), rename the company before proceeding
