Microsoft Dynamics GP, the next generation of end-user customization tools?

My new article is out on my Community column blog, In my humble opinion with The Dynamics GP Blogster. This time, I take a swipe at some significant improvements that could be added to the customization and integration tools like Modifier, Report Writer, and Integration Manager, just by switching out the programming environment and scripting languages, Visuals Basic for Applications and VBScript for Visual Studio Tools for Applications and PowerShell, respectively.

Far fetched? Not quite, go on and read my reasoning behind this, over at the Community's website.

eConnect Integration Service for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010

One of the biggest improvements in eConnect 2010 is the addition of the new eConnect Integration Service . The eConnect installer now creates a new Windows Service application named eConnect for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 integration Service . The eConnect Integration Service is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service that replaces the (very unstable) eConnect COM+ object available in previous versions of eConnect. The eConnect Integration Service supports the operations of the eConnect .NET assemblies, the BizTalk adapter, and MSMQ interfaces. In addition, you can use the service directly from an application that adds a service reference to the eConnect Integration Service. If you add a service reference, you do not need to add the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect assembly and namespace to your development project. To add the eConnect Integration Service to an application, you must first add a service reference to the Visual Studio project for that application. To add a servi

Image
Part 3 - Resolving Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client Functional Issues Last week, Part 2 of this series dealt with resolving Web Client implementation issues. The key to remember is any exception condition prior to the Microsoft Dynamics GP login window is treated as an implementation issue and as noted back in Part 2, there are two major processes - steps, if you will - in compiling information that will lead to resolving Web Client exceptions. Just like with the implementation issues, you must compile information related to all application exceptions. Let's see what type of information can be compiled: If the problem involves product functionality, it's always a good idea to record the steps to reproduce the problem. It's also possible that the issues are UI related, i.e., a window does not display correctly (though these issues are less frequent, but certainly possible). Printing and data export issues. In this case, you will want to determine whether th
