Upgrading (deleting) objects from addon when going from NAV2009 to NAV2016

Hi all,

I've posted a couple of other questions on the topic of moving from NAV2009 to NAV2016. As many of you know, one of the steps in moving from 2009 to any other version includes deleting all the non-table objects from the database after "Step 1" in the data upgrade process is run.

Our in-house development license includes a third-party addon. However, the license file does not allow us to DELETE many of the addon's forms, pages and XMLPorts.

My personal developers' license does not allow me permissions to this addon, either.

We are doing this upgrade in-house, but I did place a call to our partner, in hopes that their partner license will at least let them delete the addon objects.

So, I am trying take another tack at "how do I delete the old addon objects"? I have played around a little bit with the "Object" table and the "Object Metadata" table in past years. So I'm wondering if I just delete the records from these the Object table where Type > 1 (In the Object table, Type 0 = Tabledata and Type 1 = Table, so everything > 1 = form/report/dataport/xmlport/menusuite/page) and corrspondingly where "Object Type" > 1 in the Object Metadata table.

Has anyone tried this approach to removing objects?

Thanks

Ron
