Merging cumulative updates into your own Microsoft Dynamics NAV solutions has become a lot easier with the new merge utilities. They are based on the concept of three-way merge to reconcile two sets of changes made (independently) to a given base version. For example, when applying Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Cumulative Update 1 to a customized database, the customized database and the cumulative update are both derived from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 RTM, which is the shared based version in that case.

Merging Application Objects using Windows PowerShell
Upgrading a Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution is time consuming. You have to identify which changes you have to make, you have to upgrade the application objects and the application code, and you might have to move the existing data around so that it fits the new database schema. In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2, we started delivering Windows PowerShell cmdlets and sample scripts that can help you automate different parts of the upgrade process. In the latest cumulative update, we introduce a new set of Windows PowerShell cmdlets that can help you through the code upgrade.
