GPUG Summit 2014 St. Louis - Day 3


Friday, October 17, 2014

Ok, what just happened last night, ugh! Day 2 was quite the day (and the night!). However, the Summit was coming to an end and it was almost time to close the curtains on what I personally reckon to be a very successful event. This meant participating in the last networking huddle event, which had tables organized by roles; visit the Expo one last time to say bye to ISVs who tirelessly worked to bring some of the best products to market; and attend maybe a session or two going throughout the day.

After the networking huddle, it was time for the Ask the All Stars session which, as its now traditional, is preceded by the GPUG All Star nomination and award. I have to say that this year I was fortunate enough to have been nominated, but felt short by one vote... just messing!

The new All Stars mingled with the previous year crop to take questions from the audience in attendance at the Ferrara theater, MCed by Andy Hafer. Upon conclusion of the Q&A session, it was time to honor the very first recipient of the Richard Whaley Academy Award with the distinction going to Mr. Bob McAdam. Bob has tirelessly worked to provide some of the best end-user Academy classroom training content out there and in doing so, has been recognized by community users as a consummate professional. As you may know, Richard left us all last month after years dealing with personal ailments.

To award was handed to Bob by Richard's daughter Elizabeth "Betsy" Whaley with Rich Beliveau, Academy Director MCing the ceremony.

Of course, no Summit would be complete without knowing where the next event will take place, so it was announced that Reno-Tahoe, NV will be the destination of the next GPUG Summit 2015 event. The following video shows what awaits next year's Summit attendees.




Until next post!

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

Image
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

eConnect Integration Service for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010

Image
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
