# Update Product Engineering

In C/AL-based versions of D365 BC/Business Central, functionality was updated through `*.fob` (or `.txt`) files. As of this release, functionality updates are done by replacing apps. The following steps describe the process.

## Steps

1. Run Windows PowerShell ISE as **administrator**.
2. Load the D365 BC Modules:

```powershell
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"
```
3. List the apps and version numbers currently installed (replace `BC150` with the correct server instance):

```powershell
Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance BC150
```
4. Uninstall the current app (this example replaces Product Engineering Quality):

```powershell
Uninstall-NAVApp -Name "PE Quality" -ServerInstance BC150
```
5. Publish the new app (replace the path and version number):

```powershell
Publish-NAVApp -Path "C:\...\Artifacts\IEMW115.2.38990.0\Lifecycle\app\To-Increase_PE Quality_15.2.xxxxx.0.app" -ServerInstance BC150
```
6. Sync the new app:

```powershell
Sync-NAVApp -Name "PE Quality" -ServerInstance BC150 -Version 15.2.xxxxx.0
```
7. Upgrade the new app:

```powershell
Start-NAVAppDataUpgrade -Name "PE Quality" -ServerInstance BC150 -Version 15.2.xxxxx.0
```
8. Remove the old app:

```powershell
Unpublish-NAVApp -Name "PE Quality" -ServerInstance BC150 -Version 15.2.xxxxx.0
```
