Updates from #DirectionsNA 2017 Part 1 - NAV 2018 or Dynamics365 Tenerife

Hi all readers,

If you are like me who was unable to attend Directions North America here are updates from Twitter and blogs.

I am missing it so here are some updates via #Dynamics365Tenerife and #DirectionsNA.



1. Product Name - It seems from tweets that NAV will no longer be called NAV, it will be called something else like Dynamics365onprem.

So what changed on Product line - Microsoft decided (as we heard it earlier) that a complete NAV will be released on the cloud which seems to be the new version for on-prem too.

Sources Tweets -

  1. Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business will merge in next release. #DirectionsNA
  2. What will the name be for on-premises #Dynamics365Tenerife? #DirectionsNA
  3. #Dynamics365Tenerife is just a code name.  It will be renamed.  #DirectionsNA


2. Release Date - From the tweets and slides there will not be a release till 2018 so there will be no release as expected in #DirectionsNA.


The Preview is expected to be released in GA Spring 2018.


Sources Tweets -
  1. NO release this end-of-year, only a preview we can play and prepare with. The General Availability of Dynamics 365 “Tenerife” is going to be Spring 2018! #DirectionsNA #Dynamics365Tenerife

"Not decided what licensing models we will launch #Dynamics365Tenerife in". Will it be CSP, SPLA,?  TBD #DirectionsNA

The release of #Dynamics365Tenerife is "spring". #DirectionsNA

Provision a new #Dynamics365Tenerife tenant from scratch in 7 sec, upgrade in 30 sec. "THAT is Hyperscaling!" -  #DirectionsNA

No sign-off and sign in after changing roles in Tenerife #DirectionsNA

Will be able to take your customized solution – as is – to Dynamics 365! #DirectionsNA

Microsoft still recommends Extensions – obviously – but it is not a full requirement anymore. #DirectionsNA

In 7 seconds, Microsoft was able to set up a new tenant and make a new environment operation for the user. #DirectionsNA

The data-upgrade is about 30 seconds per tenant – this is the time that the system will be offline – but it’s fast! But it obviously depends on the amount of data – don’t know anything about that. #DirectionsNA

Dynamics 365 “Tenerife” will come with about 44 pre-defined API’s, which can be used to connect the third-party system to NAV. #DirectionsNA

Common Data Services - CDS is a very key part in whole Microsoft as a company. It’s connecting all these Microsoft products with each other .. through CDS. For all of this software to work together.#DirectionsNA

Will keep you posted as I hear more from the web. Let me know your views. 
We Love NAV, will be able to leave the product or Name? ðŸ˜”

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

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.
