Navision Developer's Toolkit

I have done the compare and merge process to come up with a new version 4.0 from the old version 3.7. However, when I try to export the objects to a 4.0 database (Cronus), I get errors about the table definitions as if the system can't parse the text generated in the file and the program stops with the message, "Import stopped at line n"

Is this a problem with the output of the compare and merge wizard. Perhaps unresolved conflicts?

May be, in some cases is problem chars // in allowedchar property etc...

If code was commented out by using { and } ( according to the style guide this not allowed anymore, and now you know the reason why) the merge wizard can mess lines up. Check for this and rework the code using //, then try again. Good Luck ( I use Beyond Compare for merging, this leaves you the control you need. There are also good freeware merging tools like Winmerge : http://winmerge.sourceforge.net. )

I use Araxis Merge ... a three way merging tool.

not free, but really GREAT !!

Can it do a automatic merge?
Do you use it?
Does it work well?

kine

Yes, there is automatic merge in the tree-way compare (of course text based, not syntax based or something as in NDT)...

We are using it for 3 years...
It work very well, if you know what you want...

Same comment as kine.

I use it as well. imho you have more control than with the navision compare tool... .
