Comparing Customized Nav 5 with another Customized Nav 5

pradk

Hi !
I have two databases
Company A - Nav 5
Company B - Nav 5

Now i want to port all the modification of Company A onto Company B.
NOTE : Company B has it's own set of modifications.
How do i do it ?
What should i use
if Develioper toolkit then which version and from where to download ?
Anyother software - How ?

Thanks
Pradeep

It's a normal merge-job. You can use NDT with this. I prefer Araxis Merge (if there are not too many changes).

You need to have the default db of company a and company itself. If you compare those, you can easily track the customisations that have been made. Transfer them into the db of Company b.

When you're using NDT, then you need 3 versions (again):
CustomDB: DB of Company A
Old Base Version: Default DB (5.0)
New Base Version: DB of Company B

Why do I like a manual merge more?
- the three way merge tool of Araxis is much more clear
- You got everything under control (leaving certain things out, ...)

my two cents...

Some prefer this tool: http://www.mergetool.com which is made purely for C/AL merging.

Just to throw another one in the mix: I personally like Beyond Compare, which you can download at www.scootersoftware.com
