#GPUGAmplify: Amplify your Knowledge with Microsoft and GPUG



Anaheim, California: home of the very famous Disneyland entertainment complex, the celebrated ice hockey team, Anaheim Ducks, and why not, some colorful protesting melees as of late. However, this awesome American city in the Southern California enclave will be the host of the newly minted GPUG Amplify (Twitter: #GPUGAmplify) event, a joint venture between Microsoft and the Dynamics GP User Group.

What is GPUG Amplify?

 Well, let's start by saying what it is not. #GPUGAmplify is not Convergence and it is not a replacement for the new Microsoft Envision conference. Amplify stands on its own as a new conference that seeks to provide insider information to the Microsoft Dynamics GP community product roadmap, upcoming features and overall vision. In that sense, it seeks to achieve the same goals and fill the gap left by Convergence. In addition, Amplify will deliver some very high quality sessions oriented to new functionality and features that will be available in upcoming releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP. In that sense, it differs from GPUG Summit in that the number of sessions will be far less, but highly specific.

When is GPUG Amplify?

 Amplify will be held in Anaheim, California from May 23 - May 25, 2016. Side note: if you time this well, you can book your Memorial Day week in beautiful Southen California. Registrations are currently open with an early bird special ending all the way up to March 25, 2016.

Where to Stay and how to get there?

 For the conference, GPUG has partnered with the Marriott Anaheim offering a group rate of $169/night + tax. GPUG has also partnered with Delta Airlines offering a promotional code for those seeking to get a discount given the rushed schedule.

As always, I may be presenting at this event (yet to be defined) and hope to see you there. Don't let the schedule scare you away from enjoying what may be "The Next Big Thing" to grace the Microsoft Dynamics GP world after Convergence.


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
