SQL script to create dimension entry NAV2009 to NAV2016

Hi all,

We're testing our planned NAV2009->NAV2016 upgrade, and we have a large database (180GB approx). The first data upgrade test was done on a database that was shrunk down by date-compressing several of the large ledger files. The data upgrade ran in about 50 hours, which doesn't fit into our planned time-window of a weekend conversion (this does not include the other data upgrade steps which take additional time.)

In addition, we have several custom ledger tables that I have not yet converted to dimension set entries, so I know our next full test will take even longer.

We are investigating more server resources, but our test server is brand-new, enterprise-class, lots of RAM, high-speed SAS drives and is only being taxed to about 20% usage during the data upgrade.

I have seen a few references about some people using SQL scripts to create the dimension set entries instead of the Data Upgrade codeunit. But I haven't seen any sample scripts. Has anyone seen any actual SQL script code that I could reference? I'm just trying to avoid having to reverse-engineer everything.

Thanks

Ron
