Hi.
I am trying to import a full "backup" from a .navdata file into an empty NAV database, but I get an error:

Import-NAVData : Tenant default in database NAV_2015 is not operational
. The tenant can be brought to operational state by a call to Sync-NavTenant.
At line:1 char:1
+ Import-NAVData -ServerInstance NAV_2015 -IncludeApplicationdata -ALLC
omp ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~

What is this? I do not have any tenants, this is an empty NAV2015 database with a service that has the "tenant" check box empty. The PowerShell command I am using is as follows (I am not sure if this is correct, because I cant get pass of this tenant error):

PS C:\Windows\system32> Import-NAVData -AllCompanies -IncludeApplicationdata -IncludeGlobalData -ServerInstance NAV_2015 -FilePath C:\temp\NAV_CRONUS_2015.navdata

How difficult would it have been to integrate this PowerShell Cmdlet in GUI of the Admin tool or the Development Environment...

    Did you try to "Sync. Schema for All Tables" with Validation under Tools of development Environment?

    No, I did not. But I did not have any objects in the database (except the system tables in 2000000000-series), do you think that still might have had an effect? I will have to test that.

    I would really like to know what is going on here, but in the meantime I can tell you my workaround. Instead of using the parameter ServerInstance I used parameters ApplicationDatabaseName and ApplicationDatabaseServer. After the sript was run there was still nothing in the database even though the script did not show any errors. I then imported all objects from a fob-file and ran the script again, this time without the IncludeApplicationdata and I finally had a new working db with the data from the navdata file.
