Have you ever tried to publish an app-file using the Publish-NavApp PowerShell Cmdlets on a on-premises Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and was stopped by errors like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems illogical, but it is fixed by running symbol generation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- In the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central administrative console you should set the parameter Enable loading application symbol references at server startup in the Development group.
<\/li>- Then you should go to the Program Files (x86) installation folder for the Role Tailored Client (typically C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\\<version>\\RoleTailored Client) and run this command:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
finsql.exe Command=generatesymbolreference, Database=\"<application sql database>\", ServerName=<sql server host name>, ntauthentication=no, username=<sql server username>, password=<sql server password><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNote: The finsql.exe command will start a background finsql.exe process (you can see it in Windows Task Manaer). When it finishes it will write one or two text-files in the Role Tailored Client directory – one with status (filename navcommandresult.txt) and the other one if any errors happens (filename naverrorlog.txt). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two steps fixed it for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
