Upgrading to 2013 from 3.7

c_smith

I posted a while back in regard to the best practice in getting our 3.7 native database over to 2013, and I believe we have that nailed down.

What I'm looking for advice on now is on getting the objects over there. We have what I'm assuming is a pretty simple NAV setup: 80GB database, one company, not much in the way of customization (most of our custom objects are 50K objects). We have about 160 "stock" objects showing as having been modified, but I'm not sure how many of those were actually modified, rather than just saved at some point.

We are looking into using the Mergetool app, and would appreciate any reviews/advice on that. Whether it be about the application itself, or whether it would be a good fit for us.

And I'd also appreciate some clarification on whether we can go straight from 3.7 to 2013 using the Mergetool, or any other tool (we're aware that the data needs to go through 2009 first, at least that's what we've been told).

Given that we've just about gotten the data from 3.7 into 2013, our main objective now is getting the objects to 2013 so we can begin working on them.

Thanks in advance!

Read this post on how to upgrade from 3.x to 2009.

From 2009 to 2013, there are additional steps, but it's just running step 1 and step 2 cu.

Thanks. I had read through that thread prior to posting, and it was helpful. This post was mainly in hoping to get some insight on the MergeTool.

Since posting I have been able to gather some information, but would still take advice/suggestions.
