Following on from my previous post: Solving Performance Problems with Microsoft Dynamics GP and Windows 10 – Part 1, I was still not happy with the performance of Dexterity and Microsoft Dynamics GP on my newly updated Windows 10 development machine.
This article takes you through the steps to get your Dexterity and/or Dynamics system running fast on Windows 10.
Now that I am running Windows 10 and am starting to get back to work with developing for Microsoft Dynamics GP and Dexterity, I have been noticing some serious performance issues.
This article takes you through the steps I used to identify the issue and what I did to resolve the issues. After making the changes listed in this and the next article I am happy with my Windows 10 development environment.
The Database Validation feature was previously demonstrated but never released. GP Power Tools now releases Database Validation for general availability.
Database Validation is a tool designed to ensure that the user, company and table settings at the SQL Server level match what the Microsoft Dynamics GP application says they should be.
One of the most popular features of the now discontinued Support Debugging Tool was the Company based Color Schemes. This feature allowed administrators to specify a different color scheme for each Microsoft Dynamics GP company.
GP Power Tools takes this functionality and enhances it to make it more powerful and easier to use.
GP Power Tools is now released and available via my distribution and support partner, Mekorma.
Continuing on with the What’s New series, today’s article will have a quick look at some of the usability enhancements to the Microsoft Dynamics GP application.
I am so proud and excited to finally release the much anticipated replacement for the discontinued Support Debugging Tool.
Welcome to GP Power Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP for versions GP 2010 (v11.0), GP 2013 (v12.0 including R2) and GP 2015 (v14.00 including R2).
This first release of GP Power Tools will be build 20 and includes many new features, enhancements to existing features as well as rebranding as a Winthrop Development Consultants product.
One request that I have heard a number of times is for a method to expose scripts written using Runtime Execute or SQL Execute to normal users.
Because these windows are Advanced Mode features designed for administrators to use, they require SQL Server sysadmin or dbo privileges as well as application level security and the System password (if used) to access.
The Support Debugging Tool already has the ability to create and execute Dexterity sanScript and Transact-SQL scripts, without needing the Dexterity development environment or SQL Server Management Studio installed.
Now GP Power Tools adds the ability to create and execute Visual C# scripts and Visual Basic.Net scripts, without needing Visual Studio installed.
The Administrator level (Advanced Mode) features of GP Power Tools require application level security, SQL Server sysadmin or dbo status and the System Password (if one is configured) to access them.
So what happens if you want a user to be able access a feature and can provide the security required at the application level and SQL Server level, but you don’t really want to provide them with the Microsoft Dynamics GP System password?
As GP Power Tools approaches release, it is time to continue the What’s New series and explain another of the new features added to the product.
You can now enable Security Activity Tracking to collect statistical data on the usage of the various resources and security objects within the system.
