Microsoft Dynamics GP v10 displays new OS compatibility badge!

It's official! A few days aback, I announced that Microsoft Dynamics GP v10 compatibility with Windows 7 and Windows 2008 was going to be made formal with the public availability of the RTM versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 - click here for the article. Apparently, the Product Management team could not wait anymore and have decided to go public with the announcement.

If you go to v10's System Requirements page (CustomerSource, PartnerSource) you will now see that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are now a part of the client and server operating systems' compatibility list, respectively -- see pictures below.























The good news? You will not be required to install any new service packs or hotfixes! On the otherside, as mentioned in my previous post, v9 will remain compatible with the current OS platforms with no announcements made to support Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Word of caution: before planning to upgrade to Windows 7 and/or Window Server 2008 R2, check the System Requirements page for other product compatibility requirements. If you are using any third party product that interacts with the OS, such as special printing add-ons or bar code reader programs, check with the corresponding ISVs.

Congratulations to the Testing, Product Management, and Development teams for this accomplishment.

Until next post!

What I found odd was GP 10 before SP2 is supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 (NT 6.1) while GP 10 needs at least SP2 to be supported on the earlier version of Windows Server 2008 (NT 6.0).

My assumption would have been GP 10 would have needed at least SP2 to be supported on the later Windows Server 2008 R2 (NT 6.1) and not needed on Windows Server 2008 (NT 6.0). From the GP system requirements on Partnersource this does not seem to be the case.

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

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
