Industry = Computers

Press Release Summary = In this small article we would like to give guidelines to
Great Plains IT support people, who is trying to troubleshoot Microsoft Dynamics GP
in-house, sometimes appealing to Microsoft Business Solutions support. GP IM is
using several technologies, however the most popular is Great Plains workstation as
OLE server - this technology comes back to 1990th when Microsoft was parading with
its OLE, OLEDB, ODBC and other technologies and is tightly linked with Microsoft
Data Access Components (MS DAC). In general you may think about processes this way
- when you launch traditional IM it hides Microsoft Great Plains workstation and
uses it behind the scenes to validate GP business logic

In this small article we would like to give guidelines to Great Plains IT support
people, who is trying to troubleshoot Microsoft Dynamics GP in-house, sometimes

this technology comes back to 1990th when Microsoft was parading with its OLE,

. IM Known Bugs. This is when you are getting error messages, related to MDAC
libraries, such as TTGErrors. You have to look for the exact remedy in Microsoft
Dynamics techknowledge database, but general rule is this - try to clean up MDAC
installation, uninstall IM and then install newest MDAC and reinstall IM
. IM Registration issues. Since version 7.5 Microsoft requires IM to have separate
reg key. Known issue with entering reg key is if you do not install IM properly,
but simply copy GP workstation folder and IM program files - in this case Windows
registry has no info about IM and it "forgets" about registration. You need to
reinstall IM and apply recent IM service packs accordingly
. eConnect. This should be IM future, it is in process of being rewritten in
eConnect. eConnect doesn't have performance obstacles and doesn't use OLE server.
With this new technology IM will be capable to import unlimited number of records in
"real time"
. Old versions of IM. Some versions of Great Plains Dynamics/eEnterprise were
released with IM, which needed immediate service pack application - otherwise it
simply was not functional. If you are on GP version 7.0 - please do not install IM
from CD - look for the service pack
