Microsoft is King of Computer Software

Software was all complicated when it initially stormed the market. Only computer nerds were associated with it, but a lot of things have changed today. Thanks to Microsoft, they have made everything very simple for users. Software has also evolved a great deal when it comes to daily usage.

A lot of things in the software field happened only because of Microsoft. Even though there have been many competitors in the field, they have ruled the roost. They have been least perturbed by the entry of other software corporations when it comes to software. Every day they are constantly working towards giving the world better software to use.

They made the whole world understand what software was all about. This is the greatest invention of the world till date, as it has made life very easy for everyone. From running businesses to shopping and other facilities, software has made everything possible. And Microsoft is responsible for all this.

They have made the world a smaller place, though there have been inputs from many other corporations. However one drawback that most users have with software is that it keeps changing often. This has also lead to piracy of software in a big way. Not much effort is being taken about this, as it seems pointless.

The piracy industry is so vast that Microsoft is unable to keep a check on what is going on entirely. The software ranges from simple to complicated applications. However they serve the industries of the world in a big way. Software is also expensive, and this is one way that the company made money.

Software has revolutionized the ways of the world in many ways, and this has made life very easy for many millions of people around the world. A lot of intelligence is however required when it comes to development of software. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is known to have begun and grown the strength of the software he provides to the world, purely on merit.

Daily tasks can be handled with the help of software, from accounts to appointments. The whole aspect of the facility is very interesting. This will provide a great opportunity for people to make their lives systematic. People should contribute back by buying original software and killing piracy.

Software is also a very important part of many industries in various ways. All of this, thanks to Microsoft.

Microsoft Great Plains 10.0 and 9.0 Upgrade – Technical Notes

At this time (fall of 2007) Microsoft Dynamics GP customers are actively upgrading to GP version 9.0 and initial upgrades are performed to Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0. Version 10.0 will be in more active upgrade mode, when Microsoft will release GP 10.0 Service Pack 1, as current GP 10.0 upgrade path is limited to 8.0 SP5 and 9.0 SP2. Having reasonable number of GP version updates performed, we would like to share experience. Lets’ start with the most popular upgrade to 9.0.

1. As versions 8.0, 7.5, 6.0, and earlier are discontinued for Microsoft Dynamics technical support, you should consider this bell as strong signal to walk away from these older versions. Versions 7.5 and older were available on MS SQL Server as well as on Pervasive SQL 2000 (former Btrieve) and Ctree. In the case when you are on non-MS SQL Server DB – you will have to undergo migration step to SQL Server based version. Assuming that your case is straight forward, let’s move on and review known version upgrade issues

2. Purchase Order Processing tables problems. If you are using POP module, then you must check you Purchase Orders and Receipts work and historical tables on the subject of so-called orphan lines. These tables should be verified: POP10110, POP10310, POP30110 and POP30310 – they store purchase orders and receipts lines. Microsoft recommends doing checklinks, prior to upgrade process, however we saw situations, where potentially check links don’t do all the orphans cleaning job. If check links doesn’t help, please construct the script which will give you orphans in lines table, similar to the following: select a.* from POP10110 a left join POP10100 b on a.PONUMBER=b.PONUMBER where b.PONUMBER is null. And again, prior to rescuing to scripting, you should try check links approach.

3. If after check links, upgrade failed on POP tables, you will have to restore DYNAMICS and all Companies DB to initial version and try data repair with scripting. Then design delete scripts with your DBA person. Microsoft partner should be able to apply failed company rolling back script, so you do not have to start from initial version for all the databases, however this script is confidential.

4. Other potentially problem tables. We’ve also seen the problem with IV10200 table. In version 9.0 inventory valuation formula was revised and it now relies on IV10200 to higher extent. In some cases this table conversion script fails and upgrading application freezes. The remedy is roll back to initial version, be sure that you did check links

If you like us to help you with GP upgrade, integration, software licenses, reporting, please give us a call

Let us give you the likely Great Plains data recovery, customization, reporting, consulting scenarios:

1. Great Plains Accounting for DOS walk away scenario. GPA is still in use, even considering the fact that Great Plains Software discontinued GPA support in around 1999. If you are on GPA and would like your respected business to face the future, please consider migration from GPA to Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Ready

2. Great Plains EDI or Electronic Document Interchange. EDI is known battle field for in-house programmers. However in our opinion EDI could be formalized and easily or at least quickly implemented for such Microsoft SQL Server based MRP applications as Microsoft Great Plains

3. Great Plains Dynamics GP version update considerations. Great Plains Utilities do the upgrade job, you should be aware and plus research GP upgrade path – this will allow you not to expose your company to the ERP using suspension risk

4. Chicago downtown services: upgrade, integration, customization, reporting, and data conversion scenarios. If you are in Chicago suburbs, please give us a call on service options and rates

5. Great Plains Dexterity customizations and software programming scenarios. GP Dex or current name is Microsoft Dexterity is semi-proprietary IDE and programming language. If you are programmer or software developer, you should be familiar with Dex architecture, if you plan to support GP internally for your company

6. GP Industries. Great Plains can automate accounting and so serve as ERP systems in the following industries: Wholesale & Retail, Transportation & Logistics, Recruiting & Placement.
