Hands On With Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2: Web Services Verification

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 was released at the end of May. As I mentioned at the time, I was away from home for work and rather busy otherwise so this series of posts has been somewhat delayed.

However, I am now getting my hands on GP 2015 R2 and thought I would do my usual set of posts on the installation of the various components and also the usage of the new functionality. This is going to be quite a long series of posts, so keep checking back regularly.

Thirdly, open IE and check that the native endpoint is functioning correctly. The path to navigate to is http://servername:port/Dynamics/GPService (port should be, by default, 48620):

Make sure Dynamics GP Web Services is marked and click the OK button:

This will load the security details foir the web services. In the left hand navigation pane, expand Console Root » Microsoft Dynamics Security » Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Services and click on Policy.

You should see a list of policies such as those shown below:

If everything checks out OK, you are good to start using the web services.
