With the Web Services installed, the next step is to configure them for use. If you marked the checkbox on the final step of the installation the Configuration Wizard will start automatically otherwise it can be started from the Windows Start menu. Click NExt to start the configuration:

The next few posts are going to cover the installation of the Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Before we start the installation itself, there are some prerequisites to make sure are sorted out. The majority of them will be installed by the setup utility, but there are others to consider.

Firstly, the Web Services should not be installed on either the SQL Server or an end-user accessible machine. If you’re going to make the Web Services externally accessible, they should be installed on a web server or similar machine.

Secondly, a Domain account is required for the Web Services service to run under. During the installation, this service should have local administrator permissions.

Thirdly, all companies which will have the Web Services deployed, needs to have a Functional Currency defined (this is needed even if you are not using Multicurrency; in this case, you will need to configure it for use anyway. When you do so, if you have a lot of hsitorical transactions, plan ahead and allow a lot of time to run Check Links).

Once Integration Manager has been installed, we can run it for the first time. When launching it for the first time, make sure you do so using right click and Run as Administrator to make sure it has the elevated permissions necessary to create the required registry changes.

Integration Manager is a commonly used integration tool which can be used to import card and transaction data into Microsoft Dynamics GP. One of the, optional, prerequisites for Integration Manager is eConnect; eConnect provides a second set of adaptors for integrating data through Integration Manager.

Launch the setup utility and, under the Additional Products heading, select Integration Manager:

With eConnect installed, we can now configure the Incoming Queue; I always do this as I have a number of clients using eConnect in this mode.

As the configuration required hasn’t changed, I’m going to link back to the three posts I did when Dynamics GP 2018 RTM was released:

1. Configure eConnect Service
2. Configure eConnect Incoming Queue
3. Set eConnect Incoming Queue Permissions

Before installing the eConnect Runtime, make sure you have the prereqisites installed. The launch the setup utility and select eConnect from under the Additional Products heading.

This post is part of the Hands on with the Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2020 Release series where I am hands on with the newly released Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2020 Release.

One of the main integration tools used with Microsoft Dynamics GP is eConnect; however, before eConnect can be installed, there are two prerequisites which need to be installed. I’ve posted about these prerequisites before and they haven’t changed, so I’ll link back to the original posts; while the version of Windows Server may have changed, but the process is the same.

The first prerequisite, is to set the service account as a local administrator on the server. Without doing this, the eConnect services will not start correctly.

Secondly, you need to install the MSMQ Triggers Windows feature. Without this, the Incomging/Outgoing eConnect queues cannot be installed.

Once these two prerequisites are met, you’ll be ready to install eConnect on the server.

With the GP Web Management Console confirmed as working, we can now verify the web client itself. Navigate to https://FQDN/GP/ (replace the highlighted section with the fully qualified domain name you used during installation) and log in using your Windows credentials:
