Microsoft Dynamics GP backups with Windows Azure Blob Storage Service - Follow up

As a follow up to my post yesterday (see Microsoft Dynamics GP backups with Windows Azure Blob Storage Service), an issue has been identified with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 running on SQL Server 2014 when choosing Microsoft Azure storage as the destination for the backup.

You will receive the following warning message:

The SQL Server version that you are using does not support backing up or restoring your database from Microsoft Azure storage.



I have traced the issue back to the logic in the '(L) RGRestoreBackupOption' of window BackupRestore of form syBackupRestore field change script, which seems to compare the build number even after it has determined the version number is greater than SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2 (11.0.3339). Of course, the build number for SQL Server 2014 CU4 is 12.0.2430. Since 2430 is not greater than 3339, the script sets the validation flag to false, causing the script to abort with the message indicated above.

This problem is exclusive to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 RTM (14.00.0524) running on SQL Server 2014, and cannot be replicated if you are running Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 or Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 on SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2 or greater. Microsoft is currently aware of this situation (at least via the Dynamics GP Online Partner Technical Community Forum), but if you are

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

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane

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. All Purchasing Transactions list error - Purchasing Navigation List The name of the global temp table - in this case, tempdb.dbo.##2093338- varies in almost all cases, but the end result of the error is the same. The issue has been identified running Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 RTM, SP1 or SP2. Upon further review, the issue is due to bad data in the Vendor ID (VENDORID) column in the Purchasing Receipt History table (POP30300). In summary, if you have a purchasing receipt with a blank vendor ID or a vendor ID that doe

#PowerApps: Numeric Up/Down control with persisted button press event using components

Image
I just recently returned from the Microsoft MVP Global Summit 2019 where I had a chance to meet some of the top minds in the Microsoft PowerApps and Flow space. This was a truly exciting moment as I have been learning from the very same MVPs I met - yes, we do learn from each other! In one of my hallway discussions, I ran into my buddy Mehdi Slaoui Adaloussi , Principal Program Manager at Microsoft, who I first met at Microsoft Build 2018. I had read Mehdi's recent article on reusable components and, in particular, that I had been playing with his version of the Numeric Up/Down Control. See 10 Reusable Components: tab control, calendar, dialog box, map control and more . I must start by saying that the components Mehdi put in place expose some very clever implementation techniques, so I highly recommend you download the msapp files and load them up in your environment and study them. The Numeric Up Down control in particular, caught my attention as it required multiple and
