#MSDynGP The Knights of GP – Commitment beyond 2031

David Meego - Click for blog homepageWinthrop Development Consultants is fully committed to the continued support of Microsoft Dynamics GP and its ecosystem. Our ISV products are only compatible with Dynamics GP and have been created to solve pain points and missing features as requested by the GP community.

While Microsoft has stated that they will cease support for Dynamics GP in 2031, it is important to note that “End of Support” does not equate to “End of Life”. There is plenty of life left in the product and, with the support of the community, GP will live on well past the official end of support. A driving force in the community support will be the Knights of GP.

#BPST #GPPT Automatically Posting Batches with Batch Posting Service Toolkit and GP Power Tools

David Meego - Click for blog homepageI have been meaning to write this article for quite a while. The Batch Posting Service Toolkit (BPST) is a product created by Winthrop Development Consultants to provide a variety of methods for posting, maintaining, transferring batches, etc.

The API’s (Application Programming Interface) can be called externally as a Service Based Architecture (SBA) Web Service (for GP 2015 or later), or from inside the Microsoft Dynamics GP application using Dexterity, Visual Studio Tools (via C# or VB.Net) or via GP Power Tools.

The Batch Posting Service Toolkit is exactly that, a toolkit designed to be called by a developer and so it does not have an interface (except for testing the API). However, you can use the Scheduling functionality in GP Power Tools to post batches on a scheduled basis, read on for more details ….

David Meego - Click for blog homepageA couple of weeks ago, we had an unusual support case: upgrading two of our products, Visual Studio Integration Toolkit and GP Power Tools, was failing with a SQL Server error I had never seen before.

The errors only occurred on the customer’s live system, but the install worked fine on their development system. Eventually the cause for the issue was identified.

Today, my good friend Beat Bucher, had the same error and I was able to tell him the cause straight away. Read on for a full explanation.

Uninstalling Winthrop Products and Removing previous versions from Programs and Features

David Meego - Click for blog homepageThis article covers how to uninstall Winthrop Products and also how to remove previous versions showing in Programs and Features in the Control Panel.

Winthrop Products use a two-step uninstall process and will not uninstall from the Programs and Features applet in the Control Panel until they have first been uninstalled from the Microsoft Dynamics GP application. This allows the products to clean up all the settings, tables and other SQL objects from the SQL Server as well as removing themselves from the application installation before the files are removed by uninstalling from the control panel.
