This 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. The next few posts are going to cover the installation of the Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Before we start the installation itself, there are some prerequisites to make sure are sorted out. The majority of them will be installed by the setup utility, but there are others to consider.

Firstly, the Web Services should not be installed on either the SQL Server or an end-user accessible machine. If you’re going to make the Web Services externally accessible, they should be installed on a web server or similar machine.

Secondly, a Domain account is required for the Web Services service to run under. During installation, this service should have local administrator permissions.

Thirdly, all companies which will have the Web Services deployed, needs to have a Functional Currency set. This is needed even if you are not using Multicurrency; in this case, you will need to configure it for use anyway.. When you do so, if you have a lot of hsitorical transactions, plan ahead and allow a lot of time to run Check Links.

With the web client working correctly, the final element required for installation is to install the GP Web Resource Cache on the session host machine(s); this can help to improve performance.

Do this by launching the Microsoft Dynamics GP setup utility and, under Additional Products select GP Web Resource Cache:

Over the last few posts, I’ve installed the Microsoft Dynamics GP web client and it is now time to test it to ensure it is working correctly. To do this, open your web browser and navigate to the fully qualified URL you set during the installation.

In my example, as I am using a selg-signed SSL certificate, this is the fully qualified domain name of the server on which the session central service is installed:

This 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 a Microsoft Dynamics client with the Web Client Runtime installed, we can install the web client server components.

There are two types of web client deployment which can be done:

1. Single machine – this is where all of the web client components are installed on one server.
2. Scale-out – where there is one session central server along with multiple session host machines.

in this series, I will perform the first type, a single machine deployment. To do this, launch the Microsoft Dynamics GP setup utility and, under Additional Products, select Web Client:

This 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 the last post of this series, I covered the prerequisites which need to be installed. Before installing the main web client components, we need to add the Web Client Runtime to a server based client installation of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

You can either do this by installing a new client, or updating an existing one, assuming you have one. In my case, I am working on a VM with all components installed so already have a client installed which I will update.

If you are installing a new client, you can just install the required feature then; there is no need to amend the client after install.

To add the feature, launch the Microsoft Dynamics GP setup utility and, under Install select Microsoft Dynamics GP (alternative you can use the Programs and Features Windows Control Panel applet):
