NAV 2013 - Import & Export as XML not supported.

Hi all,

Just an informative post, suggested by +Saheli Mukherjee.

When Navision moved to three tier Architecture (NAV 2009), we had a new File type option during export & Import window, i.e XML.





We used this file type for importing pages that have been converted by Transformation Tool released with NAV 2009.

Transformation tool was introduced to convert Forms into Pages. We use Transformation Tool for converting Customized Forms into Pages.

With Release of NAV 2013, Microsoft Have again removed this File Type Option from export & Import window.


I Found this while doing an upgrade project from NAV 5 to NAV 2013 R2.

I converted forms to pages using transformation tool and tried to import them into NAV 2013 R2 directly but there was no file Type as XML.

So HOW we can import output of transformation tool to NAV 2013 R2.

Resolution -

For this you need to import converted pages, first into NAV 2009/SP1/R2.
Once imported successfully export Pages with file Type fob/txt.
Import the FOB/TXT file into NAV 2013.

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.
