Why are objects missing from the Security Resource Descriptions (SY09400) table?

Dec 20, 2017 Tagged with GP Power Tools, GPPT, Security No Comments

If you want to do any reporting on Microsoft Dynamics GP application level security from the SQL Server level, you need to use the Security Resource Descriptions (SY09400) table to map the Resources Type, Dictionary ID and Security/Resource ID to actual named resources that make sense to humans.

I have often seen questions raised about why some systems have all the resources listed in this table and other systems only have a subset of the resources or the table is empty.

Support Debugging Tool Build 17 hotfix 2 released

Following on from the release of the Support Debugging Tool Build 17 hotfix, I am releasing a hotfix 2 build.

It turns out that some of the changes in the way the Support Debugging Tool adds buttons to the Standard Toolbar were still not perfect. We had a few reports that when the SDT dictionary was installed, newly created users would be missing their menus. The solution was to remove the SDT from the system and recreate the user, or to use SQL to drop the contents of the menu and toolbar tables, which will force them to be recreated.

It has been a while since Support Debugging Tool Build 16 was released back in January 2012.

While I have not been able to invest much time in adding new features to the Support Debugging Tool (SDT), I have been able to fix a few issues which have been reported by the community.
