Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 performance benchmark results

The long awaited Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 performance benchmark results are out. The Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has the scoop on the new testing outcome. A couple highlights: a) concurrent users have been reduced from the previous 1,000 to 500 with the Product Management team citing "real-world customer feedback" as the reason for this decision; b) enphasis was made in testing the Microsoft Dynamics GP web services components along with heavy transaction processing.

The downside... now you cannot compare these results against the previous ones as the testing variables are different.

The full results of the test can be downloaded here (CustomerSource/PartnerSource access required).

Until next post!

It's actually hard to compare any of the previous results because the hardware usually changed for each test (always for the better of course). However, I noticed when comparing the total results of this 500 user + Web Services test vs. the GP 10 test with 1000 users and noticed that the new test actually exceeded the total transaction line count. Pretty impressive really when you consider there were 500 less users throwing data at the system.

James,

Thanks for the input. Hardware definitely plays a significant role in comparisons too, but let's put it this way... if we were to compare apples to apples transaction wise, then at least we could measure the delta of better better hardware and better software (yes, a newer version of SQL Server also counts). However, with these new application testing parameters we would have to wait for a similar test to occur with a future release to establish how much more efficiency you gain from improved hardware or software platforms -- though it's implied as you mentioned.

Good points Mariano. I agree it is good to keep a consistent user count moving forward, so hopefully this 500 test sticks.

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

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

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane

Moving on from my previous article on a similar subject - see Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BASEUOFM' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane , I recently came across this error,  Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' when clicking on the All Purchasing Transactions list under the Purchasing Navigation Pane option, after performing an upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2. All Purchasing Transactions list error - Purchasing Navigation List The name of the global temp table - in this case, tempdb.dbo.##2093338- varies in almost all cases, but the end result of the error is the same. The issue has been identified running Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 RTM, SP1 or SP2. Upon further review, the issue is due to bad data in the Vendor ID (VENDORID) column in the Purchasing Receipt History table (POP30300). In summary, if you have a purchasing receipt with a blank vendor ID or a vendor ID that doe
