Simplanova Dataport Converter (V 2.03)
Dataports were used in versions before NAV 2009 R2 to import or export data. But beginning with Dynamics NAV 2013, Dataports have been replaced with XMLports, a different object type. Dataports no longer exist. When doing NAV Upgrades – any Dataports that are used need to be rewritten as XMLports.

Upgrading Dataports can be quite a difficult and challenging task as its structure has changed completely. All the experience and knowledge that you have in developing Dataports might be not so useful working with RTC equivalent – XMLports. Though both Dataports and XMLports are used for the same purpose – import and export data to and from NAV – Dataports are only able to perform this task with external text files. XMLports, however, have a new feature – they can deal not only with external text files, but also with XML format files.
Upgrading Dataports to XMLports can be a time-consuming and challenging task for developers – luckily, there is a SOLUTION to avoid human mistakes and save time.

Dynamics NAV Dataport Upgrades can be fully AUTOMATED with Simplanova Dataport Converter, which converts automatically Dynamics NAV Dataport to XMLport!

Why Simplanova Dataport Converter?

Automatically transfers all the values of properties and all the dataport triggers code and functions the way it was.
Builds new nodes dataset which is based on Dataport dataset: all tables, fields and captions are added to XMLport nodes structure.
No external software needed. Dataport Converter main working environment is in one NAV page
Simplanova Dataport Converter features:

The converter converts automatically Dynamics NAV Dataport to XMLport.
User interface to access Simplanova Dataport Converter features from NAV plugin.
Builds new nodes dataset which is based on Dataport dataset: all tables, fields and captions are added to XMLport nodes structure.
Transfers all the dataport triggers code and functions the way it was. If a certain trigger is obsolete, but it has code in Dataport – code is moved to a XMLport’s trigger which has the same purpose as obsolete Dataport trigger. Since XMLport structural design is quite different from Dataport – code is redesigned to work with it if needed.
Transfers all the values of properties (e.g. Import property value moved to Direction property, DataItemTableView to SourceTableView, DataItemLinkReference toLinkTable, DataItemLink to LinkFields and so on.)
The newly built XMLport is compatible with all versions from Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 to Dynamics NAV 2017.
In Mibuso You can download Simplanova Dataport COnverter Playground version, where You will be able to see the Converter environment.
