Back in April I did a series of posts on implementing the various products from Jet Global Data technologies (or Jet Reports as they then were before their re-branding).
Jet Global have recently launched new versions of their products and I thought a short series on upgrading might be useful. This post is the series index, and will automatically update as the posts go live (if you’re reading this on a syndicated post, make sure you check back to the original as only that will update).
In this series I will be upgrading both Jet Analytics (formerly Jet Enterprise) and Jet Reports (formerly Jet Professional).

The documentation for Microsoft Dynamics GP is being added to the Microsoft Docs libary. Some of the documentation is already there and Microsoft have announced that more will be added through time. Hopefully, this will be accompanied by the documentation being brought up-to-date as much of it has not been updated since Dynamics GP 2013.
Microsoft have also opened the documentation for contribution by the community. The documentation is available for contribution via a public GitHub repo.
This post is part of a series of posts on implementing Jet Reports and is part of the Jet Professional sub-series. I’m a little late in posting this one, as I forgot to include it with the original series when I posted it.
Jet Professional provides a number of database views which can be used to simplify reporting, rather than using the Microsoft Dynamics GP tables (the structure of which can be confusing to many users of Dynamics GP.
However, the views are not deployed automatically, but need to be deployed after the first client has been installed. To deploy the views, log into Microsoft Dynamics GP and then start the Jet GP Updater which is in the Jet Reports installation folder:

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 was released on the 2nd October. In this series of posts, I’ll be going hands on and installing the majority of the components; some of them, such as Analysis Cubes for Excel, which are little used, I won’t be covering.

The Microsoft Dynamics GP Add-in for Microsoft Word was introduced with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 to allow the Word templates to be amended by adding additional fields (changes to relocate or remove fields do not require the add-in).
It is a nice simple install which is only needed on computers used by the people who maintain the Word templates. To install it, launch the setup utility and, under the Additional Products heading, select Microsoft Dynamics GP Add-in for Microsoft Word:

In an early post of this series, I installed the Microsoft Dynamics GP client; while installing the client isn’t complicated, it is easy to get the wrong features selected during the installation. There is a way of building an installation package which automates the selection of langauges, features and paths.
Creating an installation package is done via the setup utility; select Create Installation Package from under the Install heading:

Now that we have Integration Manager installed, we can run it.
Running Integration Manager as administrator is required to ensure that relevant permissions are correctly set; the license key also needs to be installed.
Launch Integration Manager from the Windows Start menu by right-clicking and selecting Run as Administrator. Once it has started, a Register Now/Later dialog will be displayed. Click Register Now:

In the last post, I installed eConnect on the client to make the eConnect adaptors available to Integration Manager; in this post, I am going to install Integration Manager.
To do this, launch the setup utility and select Integration Manager from under the Additional Products heading:

I already stepped through the installation of eConnect on the server, but eConnect is also needed on the client in order to use the eConnect adaptors in Integration Manager.
To install eConnect on a client PC, launch the setup utility and select eConnect under the Additional Products header:

GP PowerShell can be used to create companies and other actions. The following example shows how GP PowerShell can be used to create a new company:
Add-CompanyDatabase -GPClientDirectory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2018" -SqlAdmin "sa" -SqlAdminPassword "password" -SqlServerName "SERVER\GP" -CompanyName "azurecurve Publishing" -CompanyDbName "A18R2"-SqlMdfFilePath "C:\SQL Server\Data\" -SqlMdfFileName "GPSA18R2Dat.mdf" -SqlLdfFilePath "C:\SQL Server\Data\" -SqlLdfFileName "GPSA18R2Dat.ldf"
The supplied parameters and their values are:
the text between the quotation marks needs to be changed to the values you want to use to create the company.
Enter the cmdlet and parameters into GP PowerShell and hit return and the cmdlet will launch GP Utilities and create the new company; if you have any missing parameters or errors the launch will fail (usually with a less than helpful message).
