Microsoft Dynamics GP: Running System and Company Databases on Azure SQL - Part 2

In Part 1 of this series, I showed how to create the Azure SQL server and initialize the shell databases needed to move a set of existing Microsoft Dynamics GP on-premise databases.



This video shows the first set of problems you will run into, in order to support Microsoft Dynamics GP on Azure SQL, namely:
  • You cannot deploy CLR assemblies on Azure SQL. Both the Workflow and Document Attach architectures rely on CLR assemblies to facilitate some of the functions they perform. 
  • Some schema objects are blocked from creation on Azure due to references to system objects that are only available to the on-premise version of SQL Server. 
  • Some SQL JOIN operations can create significant performance bottlenecks and would need to be refactored to improve performance.
Part 3 of this video will allow you to see how far we got with this experiment.

Until next post,

MG.-
