Transitioning from Codeunit 1 to System Codeunits

  • Artikel

Note

If you're coming from version 13 or earlier, Business Central Spring 2019 (v14) is a required step to upgrade to the latest version of Business Central. However, mainstream support for version 14 ends in October 2023, and minor updates to the version are no longer available. New customers can't use version 14 in production, but only as a path for upgrading to latest version. Existing customers on version 14 remain supported by Microsoft as defined in the Fixed Lifecycle Policy.

With Business Central, codeunit 1 Application Management has been removed and replaced with new System codeunits. No functionality has been removed by this change. All system method triggers, event publishers, and their code have been moved to other codeunits.

However, this change will affect the upgrade process from Dynamics NAV and how you develop from now on.

Overview

The foundation of this change is events - publishers and subscribers. System codeunits don't contain code. They only contain event publishers. Instead of running codeunit 1 and calling respective functions, Business Central Server runs system codeunits. The system codeunits will in turn raise published events. There are various management codeunits that subscribe to these events. Like codeunit 1, these subscriber codeunits contain method triggers and integration event publishers. They can call application functionality and raise events. The following figure illustrates the process:

System event publishers.

About system codeunits

  • They have IDs in the 2 billion range.
  • You can't modify them.
  • Currently, we don't recommend that code subscribes to the events in the new system codeunits 2000000001..2000000010 directly. Although not blocked, it might be in a future release. Instead, you should subscribe to one of the integration events.

Mapping Codeunit 1 method triggers to events

The following table lists the mappings between the codeunit 1 triggers and the new method triggers/publishers in the management codeunits.

What does this mean for upgrade?

Full upgrade - application code and data

Move custom logic from the old codeunit 1 to the management codeunits and methods. Change custom code that call into codeunit 1 to call or subscribe to the new methods. You can do this step as part of the application code upgrade.

Technical upgrade

After you convert the old database to the Business Central platform, import and compile the replacement codeunit 1 object. You get the replacement object from Codeunit 1 Replacement.
