Extensions between versions (2016/2017)

Hey there !

I was testing extensions in the Nav 2016 (Cronus Database) and couldn't achieve what I wanted to do. So I decided to download Nav 2017 (Downloadable here if you fill a little survey). Then I thought "Nice ! I will be able to install my 2016 extension on 2017 !".

I got an error :

This wasn't a big extension, but I had to add a field in "Sales Header" Table in it. Understanding how the .DELTA files were generated (here you have a pretty good example, made by Ashwini Tripathi) I decided to check the differences between "Sales Header" 's table in those versions, using WinMerge :

(Just in case, all the yellow/grey zones are added/missing code lines)

I got sad, this was blinking more than my Christmas Tree ! When Microsoft announced this new feature, I directly thought about the migrations, like right click, copy, right click, paste.

Can I only use my extensions in the Navision version I developped it ?

Many thanks in advance,
