This article will contain help on troubleshooting SBA

Grrr.

When running the March Hotfix on Dynamics GP 2015, I get the message 'Unable to upgrade SBA from RTM. Please remove the SBA feature before running this patch.

Details below.

This article will be the overview for the process of installing Service Based Architecture for Dynamics GP. There are several steps, we'll break them up to make it easier to understand.

 

In order to install Service Based Architecture, you'll need to create some Active Directory Components. This article discusses that process.

Installing Service Based Architecture for Dynamics GP is a series of steps that need to be coordinated. Be sure that you're using our guide located here

This article assumes that you've just installed Service Based Architecture for Dynamics GP, and you need to test it. If you're looking for help on installing SBA, we have that too,here.

 

We're setting up Service Based Architecture here, and it's going well. Now we need to get it working on another machine. The second machine is giving us a bunch of errors that seem to point to security:

Internet Explorer gives you There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

If you click on the 'certificate error', you'll see this:

This CA Root certificate is not trusted. To enable trust, install this certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

  

Chrome will give you a 'privacy error', and tell you that 'Your connection is not secure'

 

Visual Studio will report:

The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

Using the WADL Generator for Project Siena, I get this error:

Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: T. Path '', line 0, position 0

and

The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

This article will discuss the fix for all that.

This article contains sample code for getting a Site (Location/Warehouse) from Dynamics GP using Service Based Architecture.

 

This article contains sample code for getting a Generic List of Sites (Locations/Warehouses) from Dynamics GP using Service Based Architecture.

 

When querying Service Based Architecture for Dynamics GP, you might get a 'Service is not available' error, it looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Have you ever had multiple lines appear for an Extender window you created?  You are not alone.  Two simple reolutions for a fix.

This is a Consultant-Level definition of Service Based Architecture, without all the techno-geek speak <smiles>

SBA is a web service (for our definition, I'm going to say web site. That's not technically correct but it's really very close and it's a better mental image)

So, SBA is a web site (service) that you can use to view and update data from Dynamics GP 2015. Why bother? Can't we just use eConnect, SQL queries, Integration Manager?

You access SBA from a URL, like this: https://vmgp2015.devshed.local/GPService/Tenants(DefaultTenant)/Companies(Fabrikam,%20Inc.)/Dynamics/Inventory/Items(100xlg). This URL returns (in a browser, or to whatever tool you use) all the data on the TWO 100XLG item. Cool, right? It's that simple.

One advantage is that the SBA web site (service) can be called from apps, which have a hard time running complicated data access code. Since it is accessed via a URL, apps can easily manage it. Here's an app that I coded in a few hours:

  

In about 50 lines of code I retrieved the Location Codes from TWO and displayed them. Imagine the possibilities.

Here's Mariano Gomez on hooking up SBA to Microsoft's new Project Siena (Consultant-level tools to build apps. Really. )

http://www.gpug.com/gpugsummit/participate-summit/ourlibrary/viewdocument?DocumentKey=4fd4f5f5-ce9d-472e-a318-aafde09c141e&tab=librarydocuments&CommunityKey=a2dad28f-23bb-4426-adda-04f9e22d61d4

Microsoft says that with eConnect they have to maintain two code bases, and by going to SBA they'll only have to maintain one code base.

I'd love to hear your comments.

 

This might be a little obscure, but it's the path that I'm going down right now, so it is what it is.

This is a code example for returning a list of sites using the Telerik Kendo model to build a phone app. It's a one page demo that returns a list of sites (warehouses) from the TWO company. The resulting page looks like this:

This is an interesting piece of code, it took me a day to write it and I don't want to lose it so I'm going to blog it here.

The code uses reflection to populate an eConnect class (taSOPHdrIvcInsert... but it'll work for any class) with data from a stored procedure... by iterating through the class.

Reflection is cool.

I have the task today of copying a SOP Order. The user supplies the order that needs to be copied, I need to make a complete copy.

I have the standard SOP code documented here but I know that there is going to be a ton of manual typing to get all the 150 or so fields in each of the SOP header and lines eConnect documents populated. So, in order to avoid that hour of work, I spend a day working on .NET Reflection. <smiles>

My initial foray into reflection is here. The code is simpler and easier to understand if all you're looking for is Reflection.

The resulting code is below. Basically, we get a query of the SOP Header and then (using Reflection) loop through the eConnect taSOPHdrIvcInsert object and populate all the fields with the data from the order to be copied.

Then we repeat that with all the lines, and create the order.

Installing MR, I'm getting this error:

Management Reporter: An error occurred while configuring the 'Management Reporter Application Service'. check the deployment log for details.

The deployment log says:

 *** The target databases schema provider could not be determined. Deployment cannot continue.

Then on the next line is says to check the deployment log. <smiles> I'll just leave that alone.

This is a step by step instruction on how to install Business Analyzer for GP 2013 & 2015.  This is standard and can be done at the time of installing GP or at a later time.

 

 

This is the first screen you will see when you log into Business Analyzer for the first time

So, you're thinking 'what??'

Why would you want to create a table from the parameters of a stored procedure?

Well, I've got a good reason. I've struggled for years with a way to pass parameters into eConnect code, and to have a piece of eConnect code that is portable between clients. That's really important for me, I work at a different client every day. So, code portability makes me money.

The idea is that I take the eConnect stored procedures and create tables that mirror the procs. The sending code populates the table and then calls the eConnect library which knows to pick up the data from the tables and run.

I still have to edit some of it... but a majority of the work is done. And there is no need to reference any eConnect objects in any code except the eConnect library.

This code loops through the parameters of a stored procedure and creates a table.

I get the error

A problem occurred creating a session. Please try again later or contact your administrator

I'm currently testing through Service Based Architecture. I can get the help URL to work:

https://vmgp2015.devshed.local/GPService/Tenants(DefaultTenant)/Companies(Fabrikam,%20Inc.)/help

This returns the expected help files. However this does not work:

https://vmgp2015.devshed.local/GPService/Tenants(DefaultTenant)/Companies(Fabrikam, Inc.)/Dynamics/Inventory/Items(100xlg)

it returns "An error occurred during script processing."

Anyone have a clue?

In the inventory item transaction entry window: Is it possible to make copies of a transaction inventory? If yes please tell me how?

I am currently looking to read budget data from Great Plains Analitical Accounting. I already do this well for standard GL Budgets stored in GL00200 and GL00201 but the AA structure is somewhat different.

Do you have access t the standard linkages between the AA tables used specifically for the checking of Budgets?

Thank you

My client needs to update messy, home grown GP ITEMNMBRs to standardized UNSPSC codes.

Is there a way, maybe a tool, to help set up all the mappings external to GP, and then subsequently bulk process the updates?

So, two questions:

1) Is there a tool/process to aid in the mapping of old ITEMNMBRs into new UNSPSC codes?  I understand we will have to use a different field for the new codes.

2) Is it possible to run a bulk modify script to change records to reflect the new codes?

Client has Inventory and Purchasing GP modules.

Thanks in advance,

Ken
