Hi everybody,

I took an old Navision backup, done via SQL as a .bak file and I took it to my development server so I can make changes and do testing without upsetting my users.

After restoring the backup with SQL Management Studio, when I try to connect to the database I get the following error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision
---------------------------
The Session table contains a Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision field data type that is not compatible with the SQL Server data type:

Field: Wait Time (ms)
Type: Integer
SQL type: BIGINT

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I'm running Navision 3.7 (3.70) on a Sql Server 2000 database.

What am I missing? How do I fix this?

Thanks,
Val

In my opinion it is not true. You are trying to open DB on MS SQL 2005 by 3.70 client... check it once again...

My production server is SQL 2000 server but my test server is a SQL 2005 server.

Do you think that is the problem? Is Navision 3.7 not compatible with SQL 2005?

Thanks,
Val

That's right, SQL Server 2005 is supported only for NAV 4.0 SP1 and up.

Officially - but I recommend SP2 + update 1 for using MS SQL 2005. You know...

Hi Val,

Here is the solution for you problem, follow these steps:

1. On the computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server 2005, start the SQL Server Management Studio tool.

2. Expand Databases, expand the new Microsoft Navision database that you created, expand Views, and then expand System Views.

3. Under System Views, right-click dbo.Session, point to Script View as, point to ALTER To, and then click New Query Editor Window.

4. Locate the CAST() function, and then wrap it around the following code in the query:

SP.[waittime]

This code now appears as follows:
CAST(SP.[waittime] AS INT)

5. Press F5 to run the script.

After you follow these steps, you can open the Microsoft Navision database by using the Microsoft Navision 3.7 client.

Cheers

i had no chance!
error continues.

sorry, solved with this, thanks all.

1. Start Management Studio and connect to your SQL Server.
2. Expand Databases, expand the Navision Database, and expand Views.
3. Right Click on the View dbo.Session and in the Drop Down Menu select
Script view as --> Create to --> New Editor Window.
4. Locate "THEN SP.[waittime]" and change the code to
"THEN CAST(SP.[waittime] AS INT)" (without ")
5. As the view already exists you have to change the CREATE VIEW
command to ALTER VIEW.

Thats a great tip sandeep!

ThankQ
