Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release: Web Client prerequisites

Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release series where I am going hands on with the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. Over the next few posts, I’ll be stepping through the installation of the Microsoft Dynamics GP web client.

Before we start on the installation of the web client components themselves, we need to sort out the prerequisites. These prerequisites are all around the Windows feature if Internet Information Services (IIS). As the installation sand configuration of these is the same as 2018 RTM, I am linking back to the three relevant posts I have previously published:

  1. Install Internet Information Services
  2. Create Self Signed SSL Certificate
  3. Bind SSL Certificate to IIS Web Site

In addition you need to create and assign two domain groups:

  1. Web Client Users group which should be assigned to the users who will log into the web client.
  2. Web Client Administrators group which should be assigned to the users who administer the web client.

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release series where I am going hands on with the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. With Integration Manager installed there is one last thing which you need to do, and that is run it as administrator and enter the registration key.

Find Integration Manager on the Windows Start menu and right click and select Run as Administrator. When it starts, click the Register Now button:

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release: Integration Manager prerequisites

Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release series where I am going hands on with the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. In this post, I’m going to take a quick look at the prerequisites for Integration Manager.

Integration Manager has two adaptors available for integrating data into Microsoft Dynamics GP.

The first adaptor is the Microsoft Dynamics GP one which requires you to have the Dynamics GP client open and logged into the company into which you want to integrate data.

The second adaptor is the eConnect one; this requires eConnect to be installed, although it doesn’t need the Incomging/Outgoing queues installed within eConnect which is different to the earlier post on installing eConnect; it also does not require Dynamics GP installed.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release: Configure eConnect

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release series where I am going hands on with the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. With eConnect installed, we can now configure the Incoming Queue; I always do this as I have a number of clients using eConnect in this mode.

As the configuration required hasn’t changed, I’m going to link back to the three posts I did when Dynamics GP 2018 RTM was released:

  1. Configure eConnect Service
  2. Configure eConnect Incoming Queue
  3. Set eConnect Incoming Queue Permissions

Translating a ClassicPress plugin with GlotPress: Export translations

ClassicPress PluginsThis post is part of the sub-series on Translating a ClassicPress plugin with GlotPress which is part of the Translating a ClassicPress plugin with GlotPress series.

Once you have translation sets created for your plugins or themes, you will, at some point, need to download them. You can do this one at a time or in bulk depending on why you’re downloading them; if downloading to make a new version package, you can do the bulk download, or a user can do a single download to get a new translation which isn’t part of the current released package.

To download a single translation set, open the project, drill into the required translation set and scroll to the bottom of the page. Click the Export button to download the translation set:

Download single translation set

If translations have been created outside of GlotPress, perhaps by a user of your plugin, they can be imported into GlotPress. Do this by opening the project, selecting the translation set you want to update and then clicking Import Translations.

Choose your file to import, set the Format and click Import:
