NAV Object Compare
This tool will help you to compare and merge objects from different databases.

Before using the tool you need to open to Navision Clients and point them to the databases you want to compare.

After having filled the path of your preferred tool to compare txt files (compare software path), and pointed to the two databases press COMPARE and the software you selected will open up with the two objects already extracted as text files.
Now you can merge one into the other save and close the program, you can now import and compile the merged file back into the Database.
Enjoy!

Hi Hanen,

I'm afraid I didn't write any help file but what you need to do is just to open the two NAV clients you want to compare then open my tool and read the tooltip that will appear on the buttons when you hover with the mouse...
Just try on a CRONUS before so you understand how it works....also you need to input the path of the executable you want to use for the merging...as WinMerge for example....
Let me know if I can help you more!

Ciao!

Hi,

In the "Compare Software Path" field you have to insert the path of the executable software... for example you could install this free software http://winmerge.org/ and then insert the exe path...
In database name just put the name of the db without the path...

let me know if you have any problems...

I'm having some trouble using the tool.

When I hit the compare button, I get an error that says
"PUIGMAJOR NAVSQL01
The system can not find the specified file"

It is correct, PUIGMAJOR is my secondary DB Servername, and NAVSQL01 is the database name.
In fact if I switch the primary and the secondary DB, I get the same error with TEIDE OHSJDNAVSQL.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Hi Laura,

Have you opened both databases with a NAV client?
You need two sessions open to the specified databases.

Cheers

Hi Laura,

I think there is a bug in my code the problem is the lowercase name of the database... I'll fix it when I've got a moment but in the meantime you could try to change the name of the database to NAVSQL01...and let me know if it works....

Thanks for reporting the bug!

Ciao

I tried with another server, with an uppercase DB name and it works just fine.

Another question: Does it just works with DB running under SQL, or can I use your tool with a NAV Server? What about a DB with no server?

You asked for suggestions to improve the tool: it would be great if you could compare more than one object at the same time. Be able to say Object ID=3..23 or any other filter. Even better if you could compare multiple objects from multiple objects type at the same time.

Salut!
