Hi Readers, With start of New Year, I saw a new issue and learned something with that. This reminded about an old article that I have written in past during data upgrade from Classic to RTC Version. While writing that I thought this will never come up again but to my surprise that it's still there, but this time story is little bit different. This time Microsoft added a process to fix these data issues.

Hi Readers,      I am so grateful to be co-presenting with leaders in the community.  For my little experience of 10 years with Dynamics NAV and Business Central, I always referred to their Books and Blog Posts. I was super excited to be a part of Panel Discussion with Luc van Vugt & Jon Long . Thank you for @Reports_ForNAV , @areopanl , @lucvanvugt & @jonwlong for planning, scheduling, and helping during the webinar.

Hi Readers, In Archerpoint we would like everyone using NAV / Business Central in the community to be Stay Current , which means stay on the latest and greatest version of the product.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions. After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.

Hi All, Today I would like to discuss an Update on a Old Article which discuss the resolution for issue that we have during upgrade from Navision Classic Client to Navision RTC Client. Old Article Reference   What is the issue ?  The Issue is with the data having Line Feed & Horizontal Tab. On Which Fields the issue is? The major issue is with the Primary key field. On Fields other than primary key it doesn't make much of the difference.

Hi All, Now a Days as most of the work that partners have is upgrade. It would not be wrong to say that even Microsoft have discontinued Support for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 and Previous version, we still have so many customers who are actually using them. There are some customer still using version 3.7 or 2.0 but majority of customers are either on 4, 5 and 2009. Now when we as Microsoft Dynamics Partners plan to upgrade a customer to NAV 2013 / NAV 2013 R2 / NAV 2015 and NAV 2016, first thing that we look for is the Microsoft Database (objects) of the base Version which is currently the Customer Version. Where we can find the databases for these Old Versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV? 

Hi All, Today we will discuss an Common Issue which we face during upgrade to NAV 2013 and Later from NAV 2009 or Previous Versions. After Data Migration All Data come as-is but Due to some Reason the Migration Process did not process Record Links To New Version. The Table 2000000068 Record Link Which we are discussing in This Article, have different architecture in NAV 5.0, 2009 and 2013 Onwards. That Might be one reason. All Thanks To  +Suman Maharjan  , For Raising the Issue To me.

Hi All, As we all know that there is Document Shipped with every product DVD of Navision which list down the steps for Data Migration. In some new version it was not shipped in product and was released later in Microsoft Team Blog. What we do is we follow the steps listed in the Document and do the data migration, but in certain cases we face issues for which we don't have any reference in the document shipped from Microsoft. The Reason of Issues can be data related, Hardware Related & Service Related. In this article i will try to add some of my findings during data migration and will keep of adding points in future whenever i stuck with issues. This article will act as checklist for data migration to NAV 2013 R2. #Saurav - Added on 07-04-2015
