Testing the NAV database
For any system, consistency of data is very important. NAV provides tool to verify consistency. In this recipe, we will see how to run that tool.
How to do it...
Open Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Development Environment.
Navigate to File | Database | Test Database. Your system will present a window similar to the one shown in the following screenshot:
Select the option Maximum and then the second tab Options.
From the Options tab, select the option File and provide a location to save the logfile.
Click on OK to start the test.
How it works...
This tool verifies the consistency of data, so it is very important and viable to run this tool on a periodical basis. If we have huge data, then executing this tool on the Maximum setting will take a huge amount of time. Lets take a look at the task executed in the Maximum test.
