After visiting with a group of Partners who attended the Technical Airlift this past week in Fargo, it became clear that the design intent behind the Named System Database feature and the perception of how it could be used in the field were not on the same page. With that, I decided that we really need to clear this misconception up and walk though the details of what the Named System Database feature can and can’t do for you.

With the newly announced release of Microsoft Dynamics 2013 Beta to all partners, what better time to begin talking about the Dynamics GP Web Client since there is HUGE excitement around this feature.  With the “BUZZ” floating around the Fargo campus this week, now is the time to start sharing the foundation of what GP Web Client really is, what are those required and deployed components and how does this product actually function. Over the next few posts, I will be covering these dependencies attempting to get you to started thinking about the GP Web Client as much as you think about Dynamics GP today. We all realize that in order to have a successful deployments, the single most important component in any deployment is the pre-planning and coordination effort. We want to help you in that planning and coordination and will do the best we can through documentation and videos. With that said, everyone’s focus right now is getting the GP Web Client up running in your environment and begin understanding the requirements so you can position and sell it to our customers.

I recently joined Microsoft as a Partner Consultant for the Global Partner Services team. I have been associated for more than 8 years in the design, development and implementation of Microsoft Dynamics GP in India, Middle East and US. This is my first post in this blog and it feels great to be posting alongside community experts like David Musgrave, Patrick Roth and others.

Microsoft Dynamics GP offers the Account Level Security option to restrict the access of GL accounts to specific users. There is no specific report (or) Smartlist which is available for viewing the details of the accounts which each user has access to.

The Connector for Microsoft Dynamics provides a powerful integration platform that can be customized and extended with the CRM Connector SDK and Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP SDK tool sets.  The CRM Connector for Microsoft Dynamics GP page in PartnerSource has various downloads to get you started with the CRM Connector including the SDK download.   You can find the GP Web Services SDK download here.  Additionally, the Dynamics GP Web Services SDK page on MSDN contains the same reference information found in the download page and is available to those without accessing PartnerSource or CustomerSource and can be helpful for quick access.

I ran across an issue a while back that a developer was running into after installing Dynamics SL 2011 on a machine with Dynamics GP 2010 (and Dynamics GP 10).  Then in the next few days we had two more cases of the same issue (and again here, here, and here).  But I’m getting ahead of myself in that we didn’t notice that was a common thread until the third case.

Should I write this integration using eConnect or Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP?   This is often a question we receive at conferences like Convergence or in support cases from both Customers and Partners.  Like most questions in our field, there really is no concrete answer to this one.  The answer is usually the dreaded “Well, it depends on…”.   What I hope to do here with this post is point out some of the differences of the two integration platforms, give you my opinion on what I like about them, and then you can decide how you would leverage them in your own projects.

In a recent case of mine, the ISV was running into a common issue that I’ve run into before more than a few times.  Actually something I’ve done a few times myself.

The ISV was attempting to use pass through sanScript to populate a SQL temp table.

In this post I will talk about the changes made to the API for eConnect for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 and how developers can take advantage of these changes to affect their custom application.   If you have been using eConnect 2010 you have already realized that there is a new Windows service running called the eConnect for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Integration Service.   This is a change from the version 9 and 10 days where there was a COM+ application for eConnect that appeared under Component Services.  Like the eConnect COM+ application, the eConnect 2010 service runs under a Windows user that requires DYNGRP role access in the DYNAMICS and company databases.  I will breakdown some of the other changes in the following sections.

If you are working with a specific report in report writer, and you are also using a word template to print the report, one thing that you have to keep in mind is that the report writer fields have to be in synch with the content controls on the word template.  If they are not in synch what happens is that nothing will print in the content control on the word template, not even XX’s.  So you need to go through a process to get the report writer report synched up with the word template.  Here is that process.

I recently worked on a PDFWriter printing incident with a Customer and we ran into a format problem when choosing the PDF File format.

The Problem

Since performing an upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010, the Customer was having an issue when printing a single page invoice, in this instance, the SOP Blank Invoice Form.  When choosing the PDF file format as the report destination, the invoice was splitting over 2 pages for a single page invoice i.e. the standard report prints with the vertical lines extended past the border in the footer or with the Customer’s modified report, the page is moved up and report was splitting to multiple pages.
