Hands On With Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 RTM: Web Services Installation

Microsoft Dynamics GPNow that Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 RTM is available, I thought I could follow my usual pattern of posting a series of posts on how to install and configure both Dynamics GP, but also the additional products which ship with it. You can find the series index for these posts here.

With the web client, installed and tested it’s time to move onto the next of the additional tools that come with Dynamics GP 2015. As I intend to make use of the Workflow 2.0 I need to have the web services installed to be able to make use of the email actions.

So the next five posts will look at the installation and configuration of the web services. To begin the installation of the web services, open the setup utility and select :

Micvrosoft Dynamics GP 2015

Read and accept the license agreement:

If you’re doing a multi-tenanted installation, enter the required fields on this page. However, this isn’t what I am doing in this post, so I left all options unmarked and clicked Next:

Enter the Server Name and Dynamics GP System Database name of the Microsoft Dynamics GP SQL server.

Choose your authentication method; if you select SQL Authentication you also need to enter the Login ID and Password. Click Next:
