To-Increase FOOD Update Documentation
Update FOOD
In C/AL based versions of NAV/Business Central functionality was updated through *.fob (or txt) files. As of this release functionality must be updated through replacing apps. Below is a description of the steps:
Start Windows PowerShell ISE as administrator
Load the NAV Modules
Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\150\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Apps.Management.psd1"
Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\150\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.psd1"
List the apps and version numbers currently installed (replace BC150 with the correct serverinstance):
Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance BC150
Uninstall the current app (as an example ESHA Genesis Integration is being replaced)
Uninstall-NAVApp -Name "ESHA Genesis Integration" -ServerInstance BC150
Publish the new app (\ ... \ copy the full path from where the Artifacts folder is downloaded and expanded)
Make sure to use the correct version numbers!
Publish-NAVApp -Path "C:\ ...\Artifacts\FOODESHA15.3.41417.0\15APPS\ESHA\app\To-Increase_ESHA Genesis Integration_15.3.41417.0.app" -ServerInstance BC150
Sync the new app
Sync-NAVApp -Name "ESHA Genesis Integration" -ServerInstance BC150 -Version 15.3.41417.0
Upgrade the new app
Start-NAVAppDataUpgrade -Name "ESHA Genesis Integration" -ServerInstance BC150 -Version 15.3.41417.0
As a last step remove the old app
Unpublish-NAVApp -Name "ESHA Genesis Integration" -ServerInstance BC150 -Version 15.2.38860.0
