Everything went well during Upgrades.

Hi Readers,

With Release of Business Central 2019 Wave
2, there is a lot of wave of questions about upgrading to Business Central 2019 Wave 2.

I thought of writing about it to clear a few confusion.

As we all know with MSDYN365BC 2019 Wave 2, Windows Client and Development Environment were retired.

We can still upgrade to Business Central 2019 Wave 2 from any version of Dynamics NAV. Based on the current version there can be one or multiple levels of data migration to reach Business Central 2019 Wave 2 (15.X).

Hi Readers,

Hi Readers,

In this article, we will discuss Upgrading a database to Business Central Wave 2 from Business Central Spring 2019 Release (14.x).

This all is for a Business Central Spring Database that does not include any C/AL Code Customization. The database can only include Third Party and Custom Extensions.

With this upgrade, we will replace the C/AL base application with a new Business Central 2019 release Wave 2 base application extension.

Prerequisite - Upgrade to Business Central Spring 2019 Cumulative Update 4 (version 14.5). If your current deployment is less than Cumulative Update 4 (14.x) then Upgrade to CU 04.
