Upgrading tools
There are several tools that help us in the upgrading process. Some of them must be used at some point of the upgrade process (such as the text format upgrade tool). Some others can be used to help us in the upgrade process, but are not mandatory (such as MergeTool). In this section, we will explain them all.
Upgrade toolkit
The upgrade toolkit is included in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 installation media.
For the W1 version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013, the upgrade toolkit only includes two folders: Data Conversion Tools
and Object Change Tools
. For country versions, it also includes an extra folder: Local Objects
.
In both the Data Conversion Tools
and Local Objects
folders, there are two .fob
files that have to be used in the data upgrade process. If you are upgrading an old W1 version database, the objects found in Data Conversion Tools
should be used. If you are upgrading any old localized version database, use the objects under the Local Objects
folder instead.
