Step 1 – Removing / converting the obsolete NAV objects Microsoft 2009 R2 has Dataport & Form objects which are not supported by versions from NAV 2013 and later, this objects can be converted to supported versions by using Upgrade Toolkit & Transformation toolkit by Microsoft Step 2 – Deleting Old Objects Objects that are converted from Forms to Pages, Dataports to Xmlports, next should be deleted from 2009 Version to make it compatible with upper version. Step 3 – Converting Database Once step 1 & 2 are completed, the database of 2009 R2 version can directly be opened in upper version which should be Nav 2013 in this case. Step 4 – Compiling objects in Nav 2013 During step 3 the inbuilt process of the upper version software will automatically alter, update all the formats supported in upper version and will provide a summary of conversion. Once Converted Compile all the objects. Step 5 – Fixing CAL Code by Removing Form References This is the main step for developers, once the database is converted, there could be uncompiled objects with message of unsupported form reference, This “Form::” references should be replaced by Page references, as “Form Objects” are not supported in any upper version.
