How to install the Cumulative Update files

APPLICATION

The APPLICATION folder includes the following files:

• AccumulatedChangeLog.<Locale>.<Build No.>.txt
• Changelog.<Locale>.<Build No.>.txt
• URObjects.<Locale>.<Build No.>.fob
• URObjects.<Locale>.<Build No.>.txt

To install the application files, follow these steps:

• Unmodified databases:
  1. Import the URObjects.<Locale>.<Build No.>.fob file into an unmodified Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 database.
  2. Replace the existing objects in the database with the Cumulative Update objects.
  For more information about how to import objects, see How to: Import Objects.
• Modified databases or local databases for which local Cumulative Updates are not released:
  1. Import the URObjects.<Locale>.<Build No.>.fob file into the Import Worksheet in your modified database.
     For more information about the Import Worksheet, see Import Worksheet.
  2. Replace the objects in your database that have NOT been modified.
  3. Use the URObjects.<Locale>.<Build No.>.txt file to compare and merge the Cumulative Update objects with the objects in your database that have been modified.
  Or, you may use the Changelog.<Locale>.<Build No.>.txt file to manually apply the changes to the objects in your database.
  
  Note If a table in the Cumulative Update has a new field and the same table in your database has been modified, use the Merge: Existing<-New or the Merge: New<-Existing options in the Import Worksheet to import the new fields. For more information about these Import Worksheet actions, see Options for Merging Objects.
