Hi everyone!
In a short time, I'll probably have to do a migration for a customer, as I've said in the tittle, fron 2009r2 to 2017. I know that in this case, I should first migrate to NAV2013, and after that, to the last version, the 2017.
But, I'm thinkings a few possibilities, that will make the job easier, and I will appreciate your point of view about this issue.
The changes in the NAV aren't critical, a few new fields in the tables, and nothing else really important. The most important issue is to migrae the data from the customer. So, I'm thinking to install a NAV2017 version in a machine, and just migrate the data, without merging the application data. Of course, I'm pretty sure that al least I should merge the tables, because of those new fields, that will be represented in the SQL tables. Is this possible? In summary, the procedure will be the next:
-Merge the table from 2009 to 2013, and after to 2017.
-Replace the tables from he 2017, with the merged ones
-Restore the SQL database in the new version, with the backup done in the old one.
Is this possible, or am I freaking out a little, and should make the whole migration process?
I will erally appreciate your opinion with this issue.
Thank you very much!
