Removing Sample Company Date Message in Microsoft Dynamics GP v10

This one comes courtesy of Leslie Vail, MVP directly from the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift, held in Fargo, North Dakota from May 28 - May 29. Leslie was in awe with a few new tricks she learned from the Dex god -- you need to be around long enough to know who this person is, go Perth!

How many times you wish you could vanish that annoying sample companany date message box? How many times you wished you could set the user date to something else when login in? Everyone knows that a customer demo is crucial and 2017 is not quite what most customers have in mind when you open up a demo environment. The answers are all here now! You are looking at a few new Dex.ini settings that allow you to do just that!

Edit the dex.ini file and include one of the following:

SampleDateMsg=FALSE - will prevent the dialog box from being displayed while leaving the date as April 12, 2017

SampleDateMMDDYYYY=00000000 - will prevent the dialog box from being displayed and to use the current system date.

SampleDateMMDDYYYY=MMDDYYYY - will prevent the dialog box from being displayed and to use a user-specified date (replace the placeholder MMDDYYYY with the month, day, and year. For example, May 15, 2015 would be: SAMPLEDATEMMDDYYYY=05152015)
Enjoy these Dex.ini settings! I know I am.

Until next post!

DBMS: 12 Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0 error when updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2

Image
Hello all! It's been quite a while since I've actually written anything of remote interest to anyone who follows my blog, but at the same time, you will be pleased to know that I've been quite busy in the consulting front, with upgrades, server migrations, complex multi-instance postings involving 10's of thousands of transactions, wrapping up some Field Service Automation projects, and the list goes on and on. This time around I want to bring to the forefront, an issue I encountered updating  from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 plus the latest service pack. Background My client requested a server migration to a new environment where they wanted to deploy Dynamics GP 2013 R2 web client (plus the latest service pack) and upgrade their relational database management system to Microsoft SQL Server 2014. This is something I'm absolutely comfortable with (for the most part) given also that my client was sitting at Microsoft Dynamics

eConnect Integration Service for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010

Image
One of the biggest improvements in eConnect 2010 is the addition of the new eConnect Integration Service . The eConnect installer now creates a new Windows Service application named eConnect for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 integration Service . The eConnect Integration Service is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service that replaces the (very unstable) eConnect COM+ object available in previous versions of eConnect. The eConnect Integration Service supports the operations of the eConnect .NET assemblies, the BizTalk adapter, and MSMQ interfaces. In addition, you can use the service directly from an application that adds a service reference to the eConnect Integration Service. If you add a service reference, you do not need to add the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect assembly and namespace to your development project. To add the eConnect Integration Service to an application, you must first add a service reference to the Visual Studio project for that application. To add a servi
