Can I migrate the ZUP file from 5.0 SP1 to NAV 2009 Classic?

AaronG

We are upgrading to client from NAV 5.0 SP1 to NAV 2009 SP1. They want to maintain/migrate the users current ZUP files in order to maintain their system preferences like shortcuts, columns shown, filters, etc.

Anyone ever heard of a way to do this? I could test this to find the answer but it would take a while...upgrading a database just to find this out...but any thoughts on how I could test this quickly would also be much aprpeciated!

Thanks \:D/

You don't need to do a full migration just to test this...

Why don't you try with a Cronus 5.01 and a Cronus 2009 SP1?

Navision will not use the data in the old zup file. Even when you compile an object, Navision no longer uses settings from zup for this object. Updating a database involves switching to new objects or modifying old ojects, so stored values for the objects are not carried over. I did not check wether NAV even rejects the zup in it's entirety or some settings (like Server/Database connection data) is retained.
