Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 Developer's Preview: Loading the VHD image - Part 1

Now that you are beyond the initial excitement of the preview release announcement and have downloaded the RAR files with the links provided by Kevin Racer, Sr. Program Manager Lead with the Microsoft Dynamics GP team (See Microsoft announces Developer Preview for Dynamics GP 2015 for links to the rar files), it's time to get the VHD image loaded.

Note: you can use WinRAR or WinZip to extract the virtual hard drive image from the rar files downloaded from PartnerSource. The extracted file is 29.1GB.

Part 1 will focus on the traditional Hyper-V method of loading the file. Click here for direct access to the video on YouTube.


Until next post!

Are these RAR files for this GP 2015 exclusively for Hyper-V or do you know if they will work in VMware (ver 10)?

RLMcVicar,

To my knowledge, VMWare has the ability to import VHD files. Please follow the instructions on creating a VMWare instance and attaching a virtual hard drive file to it.

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

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.

Upon further review, the issue is due to bad data in the Vendor ID (VENDORID) column in the Purchasing Receipt History table (POP30300).
