I've been fairly busy recently so I've largely settled for osting the GP 2013 Feature of the Day posts. Over the last few days though I've had a bit more time so I thought I'd start another series of How To posts. This one will span across a couple of weeks and spawn at least one other series of posts for a related product.
In the first series we're going to take a look at installing the GP Web Services themselves, but before we can do so we need to make sure all of the prerequisites are in place.
The eleventh feature they've announced is Tenant Services.
Tenant Services enables multi-tenant deployments of select Microsoft Dynamics GP applications which will improve the efficiency in delivery as a hosted solution to multiple customers.
I typically like to see rollups come out as they tend to fix bugs and add new features but yesterday I advised a customer to install rollup 1 for Management Reporter.
Hopefully, I can catch them first thing in the morning and get them onto rollup 2 instead, of which Sivakumar has just announced the release on the Dynamics Partner Technical Services team blog.
Rollup 2 can be downloaded from here (CustomerSource or PartnerSource login required).
This one adds support for SQL Server 2012 as well as other bug fixes and enhancements to the currency translation.
Well, I'm just back from the Prometric test centre with an updated Microsoft Dynamics GP certification. I gained the Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 Installation & Configuration certification a few years back and, as it was about to expire, I've just been and passed the GP 2010 replacement.
The new one is MB3-861 Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Installation & Configuration.
Way back in February I did a post on how to deploy the SSRS reports to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2 and meant to follow up with a post on how to deploy the Excel Reports, but got sidetracked and then forgot. Well, I'm correcting that today.
This is another mea culpa post; I've been doing enough of them I'm thinking of giving them their own tag.
I'm taking a slight detour away from posting the series of how to's on the Professional Services Tools Library to highlight an installation error that I've recently seen when installing PSTL.
I'd sent them the PSTL download along with the instructions on how to install it without realising that there was a missing part to me instructions (which has now been added).
When installing PSTL into a company for the first time, you must log into Microsoft Dynamics GP as the sa user as there are some tables which get created (covered in KB Article 861564 which is actually a retired article but does mention the issue and the resolution).
