Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client First Run On A Client

Posted on 10th April 2013 by Ian Grieve

Over the last few posts, I’ve covered the installation of the Web Client Runtime, added the IIS role, created a self-signed certificate, installed the Web Client, ran the Configuration Wizard, and installed the GP Resource Web Cache. Now it is time to run the Web Client for the first time to ensure required components are installed on a client; I’m installing a new demo machine so I know one component won’t be installed.

Navigate to the address if the site hosting the Web Client. In the case when you have a self-signed security certificate (which I would only advise for demo or test systems) you will be presented with a warning that the site may not be safe; this is the one time I will recommend to someone that they go against the browser’s advice and click Continue to this website (like my credit card company, MBNA, who have a site with an invalid certificate, going on for six years now, and have the security team advise people to accept the invalid certificate and proceed);

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Installing The GP Web Resource Cache

Posted on 2nd April 2013 by Ian Grieve

With the Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client installed and configured the Web Client is now available for use. However, there is one final additional product which can be installed from the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility and that is the GP Web Resource Cache which improves performance by enabling web client caching.

On a multi-machine deployment the GP Web Resource Cache should be installed on each Session Host machine.

Launch the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility and under Additional products select GP Web Resource Cache;

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Installing the Web Client

Posted on 20th March 2013 by Ian Grieve

In this series of posts, I’m taking a look at the steps needed to install the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client. In the previous posts I took a look at installing the Web Client Runtime, adding the IIS Role and a self-signed certificate created. With those steps completed, we can now install the Web Client itself.

This is done from the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility by selecting Web Client under the Additional Products section;

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Create A Self-Signed Certificate

Posted on 18th March 2013 by Ian Grieve

Earlier in this series of posts, I took a look at installing the Web Client Runtime and adding the IIS server role. In this post I’ll take a look at installing a self-signed certificate (self-signed is really only a valid option for a demo or test system; on a live system you should really use a real certificate.

To create a self-signed one, open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click on Server Certificates;

Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager - Server Home

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Adding The IIS Role

Posted on 14th March 2013 by Ian Grieve

In this series of posts, I’m taking a look at installing the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client as a single machine deployment. To be able to install the Web Client, we need to have ISS installed. The server I am installing this on is a Windows Server 2012 so this is done via the Server Manager.

To add the ISS Role, click on Add Roles and Features;

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Installing the Web Client Runtime

Posted on 12th March 2013 by Ian Grieve

I’ve been working my way through a number of different products which ship alongside Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013, such as Business Analyzer and Integration Manager, and thought I’d also cover one of the additional products which is brand new: the Web Client.

In this series of posts, I’m going to take a look at a Single Machine deployment (I will look at a Multi-Machine deployment another time). The first step in the deployment of the Web Client is to install the Web Client Runtime on a machine which already has Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 desktop client installed.

This can be done either via Programs and Features in the Control Panel or, as I am doing in this example, via the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility. In the setup utility, select Microsoft Dynamics GP;

Web Services Management Tools Error – Could not access the SecurityService service

Posted on 6th March 2013 by Ian Grieve

While I was working on the series of posts for how to install the Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP, I encountered a couple of problems which I thought it might be worth covering; in the last post I looked at resolving a problem with the eConnect Integration Service not running. The second error I encountered was after I installed the Management Tools on a client machine and tried to start it;

Could not access service: Could not access the SecurityService service. The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found

Prerequisites For Installing Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Services

Posted on 11th February 2013 by Ian Grieve

The next few posts will cover the installation and configuration of the Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013, but, first, I thought it might be useful to give an overview of the prerequisites.

First, the operating system; Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise editions are supported. According the the documentation, Windows Server 2012 is not yet supported although the install does work.

Second, a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or later to host the security database. This could be the same or different SQL Server which is hosting the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 system and company databases.

Third, Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is required and will be installed by the Microsoft Dynamics GP setup utility.

Fourth, a service user account is needed to run as the Microsoft Dynamics GP Service Host which is the Windows service host. If you’re running web services on the SQL Server then you can use a local user account but if the web services are on a different machine to the SQL Server then a domain user account should be used.

Fifth, the is two bits of setup which needs to have been completed in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013:

A Functional Currency needs to be configured in the Multicurrency Setup window (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Setup >> Financial >> Multicurrency)
All currencies need to have a unique ISO currency code (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Setup >> System >> Currency)

The next post will take a look at the installation of the Web Services Runtime

How To Install Integration Manager 12

Posted on 24th January 2013 by Ian Grieve

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 ships with a variety of other software such as Business Analyzer (about which I have posted the installation and configuration steps) and also one called Integration Manager.

Integration Manager is a utility which can be used to load data into Microsoft Dynamics GP on a manually basis. Data can be loaded from text file, XML or directly from a database using an ODBC connection. Integration Manager is a better option that the Table Import (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Routines >> Table Import) routine because it enforces data integrity.

Integration Manager in Microsoft Dynamics GP is available for implementation for 120 days after which it must be purchased as part of the Customization Pack (prior to Dynamics GP 2013 it could be purchased as part of the Integration Suite).

There are a two adapters available for Integration Manager; Dynamics GP and eConnect. The latter adapter requires another Microsoft product to be installed so this how-to will focus only on the former.

Integration Manager is installed from the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility;

How To Install Business Analyzer for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013

Posted on 21st January 2013 by Ian Grieve

In this post, I’ll take a step-by-step look at installing Business Analyzer for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. This is a tool that comes as standard with GP but I’ve never bothered to look at before; this has changed recently because I’ve been dealing with a few clients who are heavy users of SSRS and Business Analyzer gives way to run the GP reports without needing to log into Microsoft Dynamics GP itself.

To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Analyzer start the normal Microsoft Dynamics GP setup utility and select Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Analyzer;
