I saw some articles on export-navdata and import-navdata (on an empty sql database).  
I presume it must be possible to do and export-navdata with all options enabled (application, application data , global data etc…) and when i understand it right  
you could import in 2 steps; first import only with the option -Application on an empty sql database.  
This should give me a copy of the application; After that you could import the application data etc (except the application) and then getting a local copy of the BC Database.  
I can’t get however this working on a BC 22 environment with a default Cronus database.  
Was this something that only worked until BC14 or should this be working with BC22 also.  
If it should work, what are the proper steps
