How To Install The Web Services For Microsoft Dynamics GP – Prerequisites

Over the last few days though I’ve had a bit more time so I thought I’d start another series of How To posts. This one will span across a couple of weeks and spawn at least one other series of posts for a related product.

In the first series we’re going to take a look at installing the GP Web Services themselves, but before we can do so we need to make sure all of the prerequisites are in place.

MB3-859 Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Financials Certification Acquired

Microsoft Certified Technology SpecialistWell, I’m just back from the Prometric test centre with an updated Microsoft Dynamics GP certification. I gained the Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 Financials certification a few years back and, as it was about to expire, I’ve just been and passed the GP 2010 replacement.

The new one is MB3-859 Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Financials.

A bit like the GP 2010 Installation & Configuration certificate I passed the other week, I can’t help but feel the timing is bad with the new version about to expire, it is driven by the certiifcation requirements of Microsoft for partners.

SSRS GL Trial Balance Returning No Data

Microsoft Dynamics GPI was doing some testing to compare the SSRS Trial Balance against the standard report version but ran into a problem straight away when I found the SSRS version returned no data.

A quick search online found me this post SSRS: GL Trial Balance Summary report returns no data – Follow Up by Mariano Gomez where he discussed the exact problem I had encountered.

As Mariano says this has been fixed in the upcoming SP3 but for now there is a Knowledge Base article covering a workaround which is to alter the stored procedure (seeglPrintSRSTrialBalance) which is used for returning the data: GL Trial Balance SRS Reports return no data using Microsoft Dynamics GP.
