Integration Manager 10 INI settings

The Integration Manager parameter file, Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.IntegrationManager.ini, provides a few keys that allow the application to perform certain actions according to the values and the sections in which these parameters are initialize . Here is a list of keys for the initialization file per section within the file:



IMBaseProvider section
This section controls the overall behavior of the Integration Manager application.

AutoUpgradeIntegrations= 0/1
Prompts IM to check whether to upgrade an integration or not.

CommandTimeout=30
Time allotted to execute a particular IM operation. If the operation is not successful in the time alloted, the record integration will fail.

HideMsgBox= False/True
Hides IM registration window during the application launch.

UseOptimizedFiltering= False/True
Allows you to maintain the same sorting as the original source. One note that I would make is that the following switch was put in more for performance. If you notice that your data is not coming in the same order as your source file you can set this switch to False and a lot of times that corrects the issue. If you do try changing this setting to false you will want to make sure you are on the latest service pack for version 10.0 of IM which is service pack 4.

IMGPPrv section
This section controls the behavior of the IM Standard integration adapter.

ShowDynamics=False/True
Shows the Dynamics GP interface during the integration process. The user will be able to observ how data is recorded. This feature is particularly useful if troubleshooting a problem record.

DoUIRedraw=False/True
Refreshes the interface when data is being integrated. Works in conjunction with ShowDynamics.

AllowOpenWindows=False/True
Suppresses checking of Dynamics GP windows status, this is, whether they are close or open.

HideMsgBox=True/False
Suppresses any integration status message box during the integration until records are fully integrated.

IMGPeConnect section
This section controls the behavior of the IM's eConnect adapter.

SuppressIntegration=False/True
No information available on this switch.

HideMsgBox= False/True
Suppresses any IM message during the integration until the integration is complete.

Also one other note, on prior versions of IM you may remember a DumpMacro switch that would basically run a trace of what IM was trying to pass in. That switch is no longer used on version 10.0. Instead IM uses the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.IntegrationManager.exe.config file. To create a trace file edit the configuration file as follows:

1. In Notepad, open the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.IntegrationManager.exe.config file.

2. Change the value of the IMTracingOn switch to 1 as follows:

<add name="IMTracingOn" value="1"/>

3. Change the value of the TraceGPDexInstructions switch to 1 as follows:

<add name="TraceGPDexInstructions" value="1"/>

These configuration settings are only used by Integration Manager with the Standard adapter.

Until next post!

DBMS: 12 Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0 error when updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2

Image
Hello all! It's been quite a while since I've actually written anything of remote interest to anyone who follows my blog, but at the same time, you will be pleased to know that I've been quite busy in the consulting front, with upgrades, server migrations, complex multi-instance postings involving 10's of thousands of transactions, wrapping up some Field Service Automation projects, and the list goes on and on. This time around I want to bring to the forefront, an issue I encountered updating  from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 plus the latest service pack. Background My client requested a server migration to a new environment where they wanted to deploy Dynamics GP 2013 R2 web client (plus the latest service pack) and upgrade their relational database management system to Microsoft SQL Server 2014. This is something I'm absolutely comfortable with (for the most part) given also that my client was sitting at Microsoft Dynamics...

Do I have to use those "Z-" currency IDs in GP?

Image
I know this seems like a trivia question, but recently I have come across a number of clients who have been using Microsoft Dynamics GP for a number of years and have been told by their former partners that they *must* use the predefined currency IDs created after adding the sample company, with no real explanation to support these claims. Case in point, my new client in Saudi Arabia, has been struggling for years to understand why they were told to prefix all currency IDs with the "Z-". So they went ahead and setup "Z-SR" for the Saudi Real. If you are familiar with Microsoft Dynamics GP and the sample company, Fabrikam, you may have noticed by now that after adding the sample company (which is not a requirement by any means), you will get a number of predefined currencies such as Z-US$ (US Dollars), Z-UK (British Pounds), Z-C$ (Canadian Dollars), Z-AUD (Australian Dollars), and so forth, accompanied by a number of exchange rate tables. If you are not familiar wi...

Microsoft Dynamics GP Scrolling Windows and Line Sequence Numbers

Image
I thought I would write about something meaningless that no one really thinks about. However, I realized that this is a compelling topic since it makes for some interesting discussion around the ability to insert line items withinin most transaction scrolling windows. Let’s take some time to understand where Line Sequence Numbers come from. A Line Sequence Number is auto generated by Dynamics GP and uses a seed value of 16,384 as a basis for the first line. Each subsequent line in the scrolling window is incremented by this number, so line number 2 would have a Line Sequence Number value of 32,768, line number 3 would have Line Sequence Number Value of 49,152, and so on. Since most GP transaction entry scrolling windows allow inserting rows in between line items, the newly inserted Line Sequence Number value is calculated as an average between the previous and the next line item sequences, i.e., if you were to insert an item in between row 1 and row 2 in the scrolling window -- keep in...
