The Dynamics GP Blogster

If you are one of those who love cutting edge Microsoft Dynamics GP stuff, then take a look at fellow Microsoft Dynamics GP MVP Jivtesh Singh showing off Business Analyzer on a Microsoft Windows Touch tablet. Jivtesh emphasizes usability, simplicity, and availability of meaningful enterprise data for information consumers who need solid grounds for quick decision making. Furthermore, Jivtesh shows off how you can add more power by using Microsoft Lync integration. This sure makes selling Microsoft Dynamics GP much easier. Until next post!

Like Mark, a lot of the work I do centers around large and complex systems integration with Microsoft Dynamics GP. It's good to see that Mark addresses some of the glories, pains, and considerations for systems selection and integration to Microsoft Dynamics GP in his new article Dynamics GP Integration Flexibility and Frustration over at his Community column Mad Mark, The GP Road Warrior . In addition, he points out some of the integration tools and methods he's used to get these to happen. And speaking of integrations...

I get this question asked very often and sometimes have to dig up my notes on the subject, so I figured I would just post the SQL script that I use for this. Smartlist favorites are traditionally stored in the ASIEXP81 table on a user-company basis. It's important to keep this in mind, as you can tailor this script to copy favorites from one user to another in the same company or the same user across various companies. However, this script replicates all favorites, across all companies for one user to another user. USE DYNAMICS; GO -- remove any records for the destination user prior to synchronizing DELETE FROM ASIEXP81 WHERE USERID = '<DestinationUserID>' ; -- execute synchronization INSERT INTO ASIEXP81 (ASI_Favorite_Dict_ID ,ASI_Favorite_Type ,ASI_Favorite_Save_Level ,CMPANYID ,USRCLASS ,USERID ,ASI_Favorite_Name ,ASI_Field_Dict_ID_1 ,ASI_Field_Dict_ID_2...

A user recently reported a strange Microsoft Dynamics GP behavior when trying to print any report in to file in PDF format, while simultaneously sending the report to screen. The PDF gets created and the report appears on the screen as it would be expected. However, when she attempts to print the report from the screen to printer, the only printer available is Adobe PDF Writer. While having the report on screen, the user checked the default printer, which remained unchanged, nonetheless the report on screen would only print to Adobe PDF Writer, bypassing the default printer. I suspect what is happening in this case is, when the report is directed to screen and a PDF file simultaneously, the Runtime Engine changes the default printer to the Adobe PDF Writer (Adobe Distiller in some cases) printer in order to write the file in PDF format - after all, Microsoft Dynamics GP does not save files in native PDF format like say, Word or Excel. At ...
