RTC Report Error The provided metadata is not valid.

Hi all,

While trying to open the Report Layout of a Report I faced a strange error that says.
---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic
---------------------------
The provided metadata is not valid.
---------------------------


I searched on the web and after finding the solution, I was kind of felling angry.

At one end Microsoft says that when you are trying to run any application in windows 7 try RUN AS Administrator. I had set most of my application to default RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Microsoft says the resolution of the issue I was facing is-

This error can happen when the following conditions are true:
  • You are using Windows Vista and User Access Control (UAC) is turned on.
  • The executable file that runs the Visual Studio development environment (devenv.exe) is set to run as an administrator.
  • The executable file that runs the Classic client with Microsoft SQL Server (finsql.exe) is not set to run as an administrator.

To resolve this issue, set both finsql.exe and devenv.exe to run as an administrator.

Here is the post where i found the solution

Thanks & Regards,
Saurav Dhyani

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions. After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.
