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

For more information on SQL Server 2014 build numbers, see Microsoft Support kb article 2936603, SQL Server 2014 build versions.

Until next post!
