Smartlist: Splitter control in Smartlist window doesn’t work

This is a reposting of an article Patrick Roth originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.

Last week, I enumerated several questions that I’ve been asked and have seen posted to the public Dynamics GP newsgroups. These questions are typically of the “Why doesn’t Smartlist..?” variety.

In this post and a few planned future posts, I’ll look at each of these questions individually and give a few thoughts around them and maybe a few solutions as well.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Support Debugging Tool is now GP Power Tools from Winthrop Development Consultants (https://winthropdc.com/GPPT)

I admit it. I broke it …. well, just a little bit.

Yesterday, I found out that the XML Table Import window in the Support Debugging Tool was failing to work. It would just say “0 Tables imported”. This issue was caused by the changes to provide the Profile functionality to XML Table Export in build 12.

Some of you might have had a sneak peak at a few of the new features in build 12 of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP when an early beta version was demonstrated at the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Conference 2009. Since then there have been many other changes and improvements.

After just over 130 hours of development, testing and documenting it is finally ready for release. I have made over 30 significant changes to the tool which will make the existing features more robust as well as adding functionality and some completely new features.

Using the Support Debugging Tool with Function and Procedure parameters

This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.

The Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP has the ability to create triggers against Functions and Procedures (both global level and form level). While this functionality allows us to identify when a particular function or procedure has been executed, it is unable to obtain the parameters used when the call is made.

DDB.exe: The forgotten tool

This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.

Back in the distant past when Great Plains Dynamics only ran on Ctree and Btrieve (which became Pervasive.SQL), accessing raw data was extremely difficult. There were ODBC drivers, but they were difficult to use (Btrieve required DDF files generated and Ctree was read-only).

You may have heard about the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP. A sneak preview of the tool was shown at the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2008 in May and it was extremely well received. The demo was a little premature as the tool’s release to the partner community was still in the planning stage, but the opportunity to show what it can do to the partners at the conference could not be missed.

Not long after I joined Microsoft in May 2001, I found myself working as part of a global development team for Asia Pacific. The team was based in Manila in the Philippines and was involved in a regional research project to check the feasibility of releasing a version of Great Plains eEnterprise v6.0 for China.
