Now that we have eConnect is installed we can move onto installing Integration Manager. Do this by starting the setup utility and then under Additional products click Integration Manager:

Microsoft Dynamics GP comes with a number of different integration tools such as eConnect and Integration Manager. In this post, I’m going to step through the installation of eConnect so that the eConnect adaptor will be available to Integration Manager.
To install eConnect, launch the setup utility, under Additional products select eConnect:

As of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010, Word Templates were introduced as an alternative to the standard reports. The Word templates offer an easier way to format the documents produced from Dynamics GP, such as sales invoices and check remittances. When a new field needs to be added to a Word template, it first needs to be added in Report Writer and then the Word template modified.
To add the field in Word, the Microsoft Dynamics GP Add-in for Microsoft Word needs to be installed. To install it, launch the setup.exe from the download media and select Microsoft Dynamics GP Add-in for Microsoft Word:
Over the last few posts in this series, we have deployed the system database and Fabrikam sample database and created a company. In this post, I’m going to run the dsesktop client for the first time.
When you find GP in the start menu, you’ll notice that it has anew icon; the same dark blue and white as the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 icon, but now it is a combination bar and line chart.
At this stage you can log into Dynamics GP using either the sa or DYNSA accounts; I used the former, but really should have used the latter:
In the last couple of posts in this series, we have deployed the system database and Fabrikam sample database. In this post, I’m going to create a new company using GP Utilities.

With the system database deployed it is now time to deploy the sample company. This is done by launching GP Utilities.

This post is a slight diversion from my Hands On With Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R1 series, but I am posting it as it came up while I was deploying the system database.
Towards the end of the deployment an error occurred while the wfDeployClrAssemblies was being executed (actually there were three error messages produced):
Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities
The following SQL Statement produced an error:
EXEC wfDeployClrAssemblies

Now that we have the first client installed, we can deploy the system database. By default the system database is called DYNAMCIS, but i have chosen to use one called D16R1. To deploy the system database, hit the Windows start button, search for and launch GP Utilities.
While I do try to minimise the use of the sa account as it is the SQL Server system administrator account, the initial implementation of Dynamics GP does require its use. So, on the Welcome to Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities window enter sa in the User ID field and enter the relevant password.
Once done, click OK:

Once you have downloaded the installation media, the first step is to install a client. Typically, I will install a client on the SQL Server itself as this can avoid a number of problems, but this time round I did not and instead installed it on the server which will be my terminal server.
Before starting the install from the media, ensure .NET 3.5 has been installed; this can be done via Programs and Features in the Control Panel. If you have an Internet connection, the relevant files will be downloaded or you will need to specify the location of the files (Windows Server or Windows Client.
To install the desktop client, unzip the media and double click on the setup.exe. This will launch the bootstrapper which will install the remaining prerequisites:

The first step to installing Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R1 is to download the media. Sounds simple doesn’t it?
Yeah, not so much. Microsoft promised the software would be generally available on 1st May, but I checked late last night UK time and nothing was there.
I checked again this morning and still nothing.
Until I checked David Musgrave’s blog and found he had been supplied a direct link by someone at Microsoft.
While Dynamics GP 2016 R1 was downloading, I did a little investigating and I think the reason it doesn’t show up for me is that PartnerSource presents itself as UK for me, whereas the link supplied to David was a northamerican one.
Thinking back I had similar problems when Dynamics GP 2015 came out and I couldn’t find the link on PartnerSource or CustomerSource. That time around I amended the 2013 in the link to 2015 and it worked; this time changing it to 2016 did not work.
Hopefully, Microsoft will get this sorted out to so the downloads for Dynamics GP 2016 are available via the UK sites.
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 RTM can be downloaded here.
