Hi,
Please find the useful command below for upgradation.Make sure you are hitting right command.

Compare-NAVApplicationObject -OriginalPath ‘D:\Shyam\Original’ -ModifiedPath ‘D:\Shyam\Modified’ -DeltaPath ‘D:\Shyam\Delta’

Update-NAVApplicationObject –DeltaPath ‘D:\Shyam\Delta’ -TargetPath ‘D:\Shyam\Target’ -ResultPath ‘D:\Shyam\Result’

Join-NAVApplicationObjectFile -Source ‘D:\Shyam\Result*.txt’ -Destination ‘D:\Shyam\FinalMergedObjects\all-merged.txt’

Merge-NAVApplicationObject -OriginalPath ‘D:\Shyam\Original’ -TargetPath ‘D:\Shyam\Target’ -ModifiedPath ‘D:\Shyam\Modified’ -ResultPath ‘D:\Shyam\Result’

Adding to this, before executing all these commands first you need to import NAV cmdlets if you’re executing command through powershell.

Import-Module “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\RoleTailored Client\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Model.Tools.psd1” -force

If you’re using NAV 2016 Development shell then no need to import NAV cmdlets it will import itself on opening the development shell.

thanks for reply …

Compare-NAVApplicationObject -OriginalPath ‘D:\Shyam\Original’ -ModifiedPath ‘D:\Shyam\Modified’ -DeltaPath ‘D:\Shyam\Delta’
i used this command in powershell then the error is coming like that i checked in delta folder there it stopped in CaptionMl --property …i removed manually that CaptionML and OptionCaptionML in navision .then it executing fine …

but it take more time to remove all captionMl in manually… so is there any alternate solution to solve my issue

my version is Dynamics.80.NA.1538476.DVD---->(2015)

regards,
DJ

To Update CaptionML…

when you compare two versions of the same object with two different languages, you will see extensive differences.
You can choose to export captions into text files before you compare or merge application objects.

you can use the Export-NAVApplicationObjectLanguage Windows PowerShell cmdlet to export specific languages from the objects before you merge…
You can then use the Import-NAVApplicationObjectLanguage cmdlet to import the captions after the merge.

Also I would recommend you to use Merge-NAVApplicationObject cmdlet instead of Compare-NAVApplicationObject anyway both does the same job but on using Merge-NAVApplicationObject it will create a .conflict files, source,delta and target files in separate folder which you can manually merge later using compare tool by identifying the difference.

Merge-NAVApplicationObject -OriginalPath .\ORIGINAL -TargetPath .\TARGET -ModifiedPath .\MODIFIED -ResultPath .\RESULT

ya merge directly. the command you entered will ask the permission. so go for merge cmd.
