Object renumbering tools...

radek.bb

Hi,

I have found two tools to run renumbering objects:
- Compare/Renumbering Tool from 1996 placed in 102150-102165 object range - I think it is part of official Navision tools
- Renumber Objects & Fields - I have it in 99000 object range - so I am guessing that it is partner solution

But there are two issues:
- Neither of them is up-to-date (supporting Pages)
- Second tool is super-extra slow (I am renumbering TXT file of 175MB containing over 8,000 objects of which over 4,000 are changing ID) - it reached 25% after 20 hours (while first one finished same process in 10 min).

So the questions are:
Is there any never version of Compare/Renumbering Tool than W12.50 (report 102150)? (since this is much faster solution I would prefer to stick to this one)
Or maybe some partner updates/corrections?
Some other tools you can recommend?

Something simple (less than 10 NAV objects)...
I don't want to reinstall my whole PC just to runt this renumbering once 8)

Thanks... but once again - my renumbering is probably a bitt too much for this little one
Considering the fact that no output file has been created after over an hour of running it - I understand that it loads everything into memory and than do some replacements...
Like I said earlier my TXT file is 175MB - so playing with this in memory is not very wise idea.
Not mentioning the fact that in mapping file I had

Table12345=67890000

But in command prompt I saw something like:

Table 12345 renumbered 12345000000000000000000000000

Well - anyway - I think I will just improve old Navision solution as the code looks quite simple with an open architecture allowing to add new object types...

This one in MINE

so... 80h (eighty hours) to get the same results which the other tool gives within 4min (four minutes)...
I would not be so eager to sign myself under this slower one 8) \:D/

It has a hardcoded check for certain user names and adds some delays here and there.. Otherwise you woudn't appreciate it

But seriously - sent me exported text version to my private email and I'll have a look.. I've used it many times for batches having 400+ objects (like Time Recording & Billing module + things using it for example) and it was never running longer than few minutes..
