What to do after Upgrading GP and/or Migrating to a new SQL Server 

Adjusting Dynamic Budgets after a GP upgrade is typically just a 5 minute task, see the steps below.

If a server migration was involved, please send us the name/instance of the new SQL server and we will issue you a replacement license file.

 

Steps to migrate Dynamic Budgets to an upgraded GP SQL Server

  1.  Backup and Restore the Dynamic Budgets database into the new SQL server
  2.  Delete and recreate the SQL user login “dynbud” from each database (db_datareader for Dynamics & each GP Company, db_owner for DynamicBudgets)
  3. For each Dynamics GP company database run the following statement to enable the dynbud user with security rights to export budget details back to GP:

    Grant Insert, update, delete, select, references on GL00201 to [dynbud]

  4.  Replace the license.licx file with a new license for the new named SQL server
  5.  Launch the Server configuration Utility, run the upgrade process (verify that you are pointed to the new server)
