HI,

how to decide which code merge using Compare tool in time of database migration.

Hi Akkrahul,
I prefer and have using Araxis Compare the last 15 years, but Beyond Compare is also good.

But it depends what you need to use it for. I’ve never been using it for data migration, but don’t you mean application code upgrades?

And when I do upgrades, then I use Mergetool.com. Only use the compare tools to support this process from within Mergetool. The actual compare/merge is done by mergetool.
Or that was how I have been doing the last many years. After NAV 2013 R2 I’m mostly using Microsoft’s standard tools for doing it (PowerShell).
