Copying Reports in Report Writer

1. Export the SOP Invoice package file using Customization Maintenance.
2. Open the package file using Notepad.
3. Perform a Find/Replace, replacing all the references to 'WORK' tables with 'HIST' tables. (i.e., replace SOP_HDR_WORK with SOP_HDR_HIST)
4. Change the report name in the file.
5. Save the package file.
6. Import the modified package file back into GP using Customization Maintenance.
7. Voila! Your report is modified.

An Error Occurred while using the BCP utility-- data was not correctly copied to the server....

Vaidy Mohan has turn our attention to a very known error these days on Vista operating system related to BCP Utility error:

Normally we used to go to users in control panel, remove "UAC feature" checkbox and wait to restart PC..................

Beside that this cannot be agreed by some of the users, I personally also hate to wait! Vaidy suggested another solution, which is only right clicking on GP shortcut and run it as Administrator :)

Thank you Vaidy for this solution.

Support Debugging Tool Build 10 released

By David Musgrave

Some of you might know that I have been busy working on the next build of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP. If you did not know... well... you do now.

I have a wish list of features based on feedback from colleagues and the partner community as well as my own ideas for enhancements. I have been slowly working my way through this list and even though there is still more work to be done, I wanted to give you the benefit of the work completed already.

So, we have released Build 10 of the tool on PartnerSource. The download links for the pages are below.

Here is a summary of the features and enhancements added:

ScreenShot
ScreenShot is a tool that will capture screen shots of all open windows in the Microsoft Dynamics GP system and email them along with a detailed System Summary Report and optional copies of the Dynamics.set and Dex.ini files.
Security Profiler
The Security Profiler window has been enhanced to provide more information about security issues. It can now be set to automatically open when an error occurs so that you can immediately see the cause. You can print the contents of the window or even better, export to file or email a log of the information. This log can be emailed to your administrator, so they can see the issues and the cause on their system.
Resource Information
The Resource Information window has been enhanced to provide better search capabilities with options for Exact Match, Begins With and Contains searching as well as turning off case sensitivity. A Search Again button has been added so that you can keep searching for resources that match your criteria in all available dictionaries.
Security Information
The new Security Information window can be opened using a right mouse click context sensitive menu or the Security button from the Security Profiler and Resource Information windows. This window will display a full break down of the security status for a selected resource for a specified user and company combination. It can then be used as a launch pad to open the security windows to make changes.
For v8.0 & v9.0: It will show the security settings for the user and the user's class.
For v10.0: It will show the Security Tasks and Roles that the user is assigned to that grant access to the resource and customisation selected from the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID. It will also show the Security Tasks and Roles available on the system that are linked to the selected resource.

Administrator Settings
This new "Advanced Mode" window is used to set default settings for the tool, including the administrator's email address, whether ScreenShot adds the Dynamics.set and Dex.ini files as attachments and whether the Security Profiler window should open automatically when there are errors or warnings.

There have also been a number of minor tweaks to the code to improve functionality and performance. Please download this latest version and get it installed on all your customer sites.

Checklist of Troubleshooting a GP Problem

By Jivtesh Singh

Developer and entrepreneur Leon came up with a Troubleshooting Checklist while developing an application.

Check it out at http://www.secretgeek.net/simple_checklist.asp

Leon's a funny guy - here are some of his Gems

blame the guy who left last week
disable the customer experience improvement program
what would Jesus do?
reboot 3 times
temporarily allow Popup's
remove and then recreate all Bluetooth partnerships

There are 164 items, enough to Keep you busy, if nothing else !

Inspired, here is my list for

Troubleshooting a Common GP Problem

All the items don't apply to all cases, looking at the problem you normally know which ones to look at first. I'll probably update this - but these were all the things I could think of at the top of my mind.

Note the exact error Message
Search Knowledgebase with exact search on
Search Microsoft GP Groups
Search your system using Google Desktop or Microsoft Desktop
Does the problem occur only on one machine ?
Gather the following information from the machine that has a problem
1. Generate a DexSQL Log and review it
2. Get a copy of Dex.ini and Dynamics.set
3. Check Version of Software (GP, FRx, IM, Biz Portal, 3rd Party, SQL)
4. Check Windows version and service pack
5. What 3rd party products are being used ?
6. Check the ODBC
7. Is the user using named printers ?
8. Does the logged in user have restricted permissions ?
9. Does the user have required permissions in the required folders on their machine and on the network
10. Check Hard Disk Space
11. Are any Anti-virus software's running on the machine ?
12. Have any changes been made to this machine recently ?
13. Check Event Log
14. Create a new ODBC
Check the user's security, try the process with a user with full permissions
Talk to the IT guy to get this view
Try and replicate the problem on the test server for the company
Try and replicate the problem on your test server
Check queries fired in Profiler
Use the Support Debugging tool
Ask a consultant who has used Great Plains in the last millennium
Open a support ticket with Microsoft Support

And then, follow up with the user after a couple of days for small talk, and to make sure they are doing fine.

Victoria Yudin on Reporting on Extender Data

By Mariano Gomez, MVP, MCP

Fellow MVP Victoria Yudin, goes to great lengths to explain how to report on Extender data. Extender can be a valuable time saving customization tool, but data storage can be confusing even to the pros. Remember that Extender stores data in separate tables according to data types and the only way compile the data is by creating Extender Views.
Also don't miss out on her previous article about Extender and SmartList.
Victoria provides great detail on how to accomplish this with screenshots that will help you understand the process from beginning to end. More importantly, let her know what you think about her work by dropping her a comment.

How to determine if a report or a form has been modified??

By Mariano Gomez, MVP, MCP

How many times have you walked into a GP implementation done by a previous VAR and cannot establish what changes have been done on a report, if any? Or how many times have you come across forms and reports dictionaries with tons of objects and cannot tell by simply looking at these if they have been changed or not? Or have you made some changes to a report a few years aback and now cannot remember what these changes were? I get this question every once in a while and finally someone was keen enough to post it on the Dynamics GP public newsgroup. Solution Let me start by saying that ALL modified forms and reports should ALWAYS be backed up in the form of package files, and that ALL these package files should be stored in a source code control repository -- for example, Visual Source Safe -- and versioned if all possible, with notes on all changes done from version to version. However, this is not always possible, especially if the company happens to be a small company with limited technical and software development resources -- unless of course, the business happens to do software development :-) ). In order to establish what changes have been done to a form or a report, without having a source control repository, you can use old fashioned Microsoft Word... well, I will be using Microsoft Word 2007 for this example. In addition, we will use a slightly modified version of the SOP Blank Invoice report.

*Click on image to enlarge

1) Export the modified report to a package file. Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Customize > Customization Maintenance. Highlight the SOP Blank Invoice report and click on Export. Save the file as SOPBlankInvoice_Modified.package

*Click on image to enlarge

2) From a workstation not pointing to the REPORTS.DIC dictionary file containing the modified report or from a standalone copy of GP, say for example the one you carry on your laptop, print the SOP Blank Invoice report to screen. Go to Transactions > Sales > Sales Transactions and choose an invoice. Print to screen. Click on Modify to open the report with Report Writer. Once the report is shown in the Report Layout window, return to Dynamics GP.

*Report with no customizations. Click on image to enlarge

3) Repeat step 1 on your standalone environment, this time saving the file as SOPBlankInvoice_Original.package. Move the SOPBlankInvoice_Modified.package file to the same directory with the SOPBlankInvoice_Original.package file. This will both files easily accessible.

*Click on image to enlarge

4) Open Microsoft Word 2007.

Click on the Review menu item.

*Click on image to enlarge

5) Click on the Compare option. Open your SOPBlankInvoice_Original.package in the Original document column, open SOPBlankInvoice_Modified.Package in the Revised document. Changes can be labeled with markers to allow for easy identification. Word will run the comparison and highlight any changes between the two documents

*Click on image to enlarge

Remember: it's not about the tools, it's about how you use these tools to meet your needs. I hope this article provides a mechanism to quickly and accurately identify changes between original reports and customized reports and help you get a headstart when working at customers and customizations you have not created -- or may have and don't recall :-) .

Until next post!

All about SOP distributions

By Mariano Gomez

Microsoft MVP Victoria Yudin seems to be everywhere in these days. If you have ever wondered how GP calculates all these pesky SOP invoice accounting distributions, wonder no more! Victoria decodes in a very friendly and illustrative manner how GP decides the fate of the accounting distributions to be posted to General Ledger when an invoice is posted in the Sales Order Processing module.

If I may add one more thing about the SOP distribution types, this field is used to categorize the distributions for the purpose of verifying the distributions on a document and can be framed in one of these 23 types:

1 = SALES
2 = RECV
3 = CASH
4 = TAKEN
5 = AVAIL
6 = TRADE
7 = FREIGHT
8 = MISC
9 = TAXES
10 = MARK
11 = COMMEXP
12 = COMMPAY
13 = OTHER
14 = COGS
15 = INV
16 = RETURN
17 = IN USE
18 = IN SERVICE
19 = DAMAGED
20 = UNIT
21 = DEPOSITS
22 = ROUND
23 = REBATE

The corresponding numeric value is stored in the SOP_Distribution_WORK_HIST table (SOP10102).

Identifying Duplicate Transactions

By David Musgrave

http://blogs.msdn.com/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2008/12/05/identifying-duplicate-transactions.aspx

Because Microsoft Dynamics GP is designed to have separate tables for WORK, OPEN and HISTORY transactions, there are times where it is possible for a transaction record to exist in more than one table. This is usually the result of an error or interruption.

These duplicate records become an issue when it comes time to move a transaction from one table to another. For example: when it is posted, fully applied, or paid transaction removal is used. At this time, the duplicate will generate a duplicate key error and the process will be aborted.

Another time when duplicate records can cause problems is when using an Inquiry window which can show data from more than one of the WORK, OPEN and HISTORY tables at the same time. To achieve this, the Inquiry windows transfer data into a single temporary table and use this table for their display. If duplicate records exist, you will get an error when the data is being copied into the temporary table.

An error message that may be generated by several inquiry windows, when there are duplicates, refers to a createSQLTmpTable stored procedure. This stored procedure does not actually exist, but is in fact referring to pass through SQL script called from the Dexterity code. For example: The error message from the Payables Transaction Inquiry window is The stored procedure createSQLTmpTable returned the following results, DMBS: 2627, Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0. Error 2627 is a SQL Cannot insert duplicate key error.

To make it easier to find duplicates, I am providing the following SQL queries to look for duplicate headers in the core Distribution and Financial modules. While these will not find every possible duplicate in every table, they are a great basis for checking for duplicate transactions.

SQL Script to look for duplicate headers in SOP, IVC, POP, RM, PM, IV, & GL modules

Silent Installation for Dynamics GP

Guys,

If you are looking to install GP in silent mode without using packages, you may need to check command below, I found it as an answer to question in Microsoft Dynamics Forum:

msiexec /i "C:\path\bin\GreatPlains.msi" SQL_SERVER_NAME="server that is running Microsoft SQL Server" INSTALLDIR="installdirpath" SELECTED_COUNTRY="country" TRANSFORMS=:Inst0instance;c:\skipdotnetcheck.mst INSTANCE_NAME="instancename" MSINEWINSTANCE=1 /qb+

Along with that command from above, you can use the "ADDLOCAL" command to install certain modules from GP. I found a list of codes for each module and they seem to be valid (at least the several I have tried).

A4 - A4
AA - Analytical Accounting
BM - Bank Management
CPR - Canadian Payroll
CM - Collections Management
DDR - Direct Debit Refunds
PMEFT - EFT for Payables Management
RMEFT - EFT for Receivables Management
EREC - Electronic Bank Reconcile
EM - Encumbrance Management
EI - Enhanced Intrastat
EXTENDER - Extender
FAM - Fixed Asset management
GP - GP
GM - Grant Management
HRM - Human Resources
MFG - Manufacturing
MLCHECKS - Multilingual Checks
PDM - Payment Document Management
PA - Project Accounting
RED - Revenue/Expense Deferrals
SP - Safe Pay
SI - Scheduled Instalments
SLB - SmartList Builder

For instance, if you wanted to install Fixed Assets, Safe Pay, and Smartlist Builder you would put "ADDLOCAL=FAM,SP,SLB"

Programmatically Closing for Dynamics GP

By David Musgrave

If you wish to automatically close Dynamics GP from .Net Application or VBA, just follow steps below:

In your Project, go to references and add a reference to “Dynamics Continuum Integration Library” then use the code below:

Dim CompilerApp As New Dynamics.Application
Dim CompilerMessage As String
Dim CompilerError As Integer
Dim Commands As String

Commands = ""
Commands = Commands & "local integer l_file_id; " & vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & "local string pathname; " & vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & "pathname = Path_GetForApp(1) + ""TEMP.MAC""; " &
vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & "l_file_id = TextFile_Open(pathname, 0, 0); " &
vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & "TextFile_WriteLine(l_file_id, ""CommandExec form

BuiLtin command cmdQuitApplication; " & vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & "TextFile_Close(l_file_id); " & vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & "if File_Probe(pathname) then " & vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & " run macro pathname; " & vbCrLf
Commands = Commands & "end if; " & vbCrLf

' Execute SanScript

CompilerError = CompilerApp.ExecuteSanscript(Commands, CompilerMessage)
If CompilerError <> 0 Then
MsgBox CompilerMessage
End If

An available update may be required for your computer, but the update process couldn't verify information.

Sometimes when you setup client updates functionality in GP 10.0 and do not specify the correct information, the message above will appear upon login and the system will shutdown.

I found this question on the Dynamics Newsgroup and realized that it should be solved somewhere, the solution for this is only by going to Dynamics database, locate “SYUPDATE” table and delete the records saved there.

Hope this helps.

How To Delete GP Company

I got allot of questions on how to delete company from GP, script below is the answer:

CAUTION: Do not delete the company from Enterprise Manager first (step 2). If this
is done, you will need to run SQL scripts to delete database tables individually. You
will need to delete any references to the company in several DYNAMICS tables. The
example below shows a list of some of the tables that might need to be removed.
Example:
Use DYNAMICS
Select * from DYNAMICS…SY01500
The result set shows you the CMPANYID and INTERID fields for your company. Run
the following script, replacing "-1" with CMPANYID and "TWO" with INTERID with
your company’s information:
Use DYNAMICS
go
delete MC60100 where CMPANYID = -1
delete MC60200 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY00801 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY01500 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY01900 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY02000 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY02100 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY05200 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY40500 where CMPANYID = -1
delete SY60100 where CMPANYID = -1
delete UPR10300 where CMPANYID = -1
delete UPR10304 where CMPANYID = -1
delete W200002 where CMPANYID = -1
delete DU000020 where companyID = -1
delete DU000030 where companyID = -1
delete DB_Upgrade where db_name = 'TWO'

Number to Words in Report Writer

By David Musgrave

One of the Report Writer functions added to v7.00 onwards (see Using the built-in Report Writer Functions) was the RW_ConvertToWordsAndNumbers() function to convert a currency amount into words. After the code was added, it was realised that Report Writer calculated fields of return type string are limited to 80 characters. This means that if your amount in words is longer than 80 characters, only the first 80 characters will be returned and the rest will be truncated and lost.

This example using the "Check with Stub on Top" report was created to provide a method of using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to overcome this 80 character limitation. The code uses the Continuum Integration Library to execute Dexterity sanScript code and also uses the Dynamic User Object Store (DUOS) to allow the Dexterity code to return its results to VBA. The DUOS is used because the DUOS table (SY90000) is easily visible to Dexterity as the SY_User_Object_Store table and to VBA as the DUOS objects.

The VBA code creates a Collection and creates 3 blank DUOS records to store 3 string properties. Then the code uses pass through Dexterity to call the RW_ConvertToWordsAndNumbers() function and then uses the RW_ParseString() function to split the returned result into 3 lines of 50 characters which are then stored into the SY_User_Object_Store table. When the code returns to VBA, it reads the DUOS records and displays the results to the report and finally removes the records in the DUOS.

NOTE: This customization uses a method of executing Dexterity sanScript code from VBA which is unsupported by Microsoft.

Example code for v8.0, v9.0 & v10.0 is found under the following link:

Filter Dynamics GP Lookups Using VBA

Guys,

A got allot of mails requesting to have Item Security functionality to distribute sites items and show only certain items for the warehouse keeper.

For those who are looking for such functionality, you need to follow the steps below:

1. Create a new table in the database that contains “User ID”, “Item Number” fields. This table will hold the items that will be mapped to each user.
2. Add “Items Lookup” form to VBA and include Item Number field.
3. Get the current connected user from Globals.
4. Loop the following code on all the items returned for the logged user:

Private Sub Grid_BeforeLinePopulate(RejectLine As Boolean)
If ItemNumber.Value “Does not exist in our table” Then
RejectLine = True
End If
End Sub

Please let me know if you may need any help, this code is applicable for all lookup forms and details windows.

Filling Missing Transactions Numbers in GP

If the end user created any kind of transactions in GP that holds let’s say the ID 9 and another one that holds 10, then deleted 9; the next number will be 11 and 9 will be ignored.

For the clients that do not accept these gaps, and since almost all of GP transaction tables have setups for loading next ID number, I have created the following solution:

Create a trigger on your transactions table For INSERT and DELETE that perform the following actions:

UPDATE “Setup-Table” SET “Next-ID” =

(SELECT TOP 1 Covert(BIGINT, A.Number) + 1 As NextID From Table As A LEFT OUTER JOIN Table As B on Covert(BIGINT, A.Number) + 1 = Covert(BIGINT, B.Number) WHERE B.Number IS NULL)

WHERE SETUPKEY = XXX

Replace the “Number” with column name and Table with your table name.
Now each time a transaction added or deleted, your trigger will get the next available number and update the defined next number.

Dynamics GP, AX, SL, NAV into one ERP called Project Green?

Project Green is Dead!

Project Green started making headlines in late summer 2003, a few months before Microsoft made the formal announcement of what was supposed to become a horizontally integrated ERP suite. Project Green would do for ERP applications what bundling did for Office: put together disparate but related applications in a tidy, integrated package and eventually bring them to a single code base.

But Project Green seemed doomed right from its conception, with the horizontal-bundling task running into logistical and management problems. What looked good in concept proved harder to execute, and the channel may have been one of the major reasons.

DEX.INI Commands Explanation

Interested to learn more about DEX.ini file and what does it effect? I found a post under (http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2007/09/weekly-dynamic-dexini-settings.html) and found it interesting, below the parameters definition for DEX.ini File:

SuppressChangeDateDialog=TRUE - Turns off the Date Change dialogue that opens at midnight
Synchronize = TRUE - Forces a synchronization of the chart of accounts format
OLEPath=\\server\folder\ole - Sets the path for linked and embedded files. This is often set up inconsistently in the initial setup. You'll need to include your path in place of file://server/folder/ole
NoPrintDialogs=TRUE - Suppress the print dialogue box
ShowResids=TRUE - Make resource ID's visible in Dexterity
SQLLogSQLStmt=TRUESQLLogODBCMessages=TRUESQLLogAllODBCMessages=TRUE - Turn on Dex SQL Logging (all 3 lines)
ShowAdvancedMacroMenu=TRUE - Turn on the Advanced Macro Menu
C:\DPS1\DEX.INI DPSInstance=1C:\DPS2\DEX.INI DPSInstance=2C:\DPS3\DEX.INI DPSInstance=3 - Run multiple process servers on a single machine. Specifics on CustomerSource here. (One line for each process server)
AutoInstallChunks=TRUE - Add CNK files without the "Add New Code?" dialogue
ExportOneLineBody=TRUE - eliminate line wrapping when exporting reports to comma or tab delimited files.
IMPath=C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Great Plains\Integration Manager\IM.EXEIMExecPath=C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Great Plains\Integration Manager\IMRun.EXE - Set the path to Integration Manager so it will launch properly from the menu. (2 lines)
WindowMax=TRUE - Open the GP main window full screen
SampleDateMsg=FALSE - prevents the sample company dialog box from being displayed
SampleDateMMDDYYYY=00000000 - Prevents the sample company dialogue box from displaying and sets the date to the current date.
SampleDateMMDDYYYY=MMDDYYYY - Prevents the sample company dialogue box from displaying and sets the sample company to the date defined. (5/1/08 would be 050102008).

Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Row Level Filtering (Row Level Security)

Guys,

David Musgrave the Microsoft Dynamics GP Specialist proofed that the GP could have Row Level Security customized by developing the tool for the sample company, the tool is great and contains all what we need to filter GP rows.

You can find this tool under the following link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2008/08/13/row-level-filtering-proof-of-concept.aspx?CommentPosted=true

But unfortunately the tool is still proof of concept, and not officially released, lets hope to have it one day as one of GP modules!

Auto login for Microsoft Dynamics GP

I found the below idea in one of the forums and liked it!

1. Create new text file in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP” call it Login.mac
2. Paste the code below inside it and save.
3. Replace “sa” with your username.
4. Replace “123” with your password.
5. Replace “1” in “'(L) Company Names' item 1 # ''” with the company order of your companies selection list
6. Save the file.
7. Go to GP shortcut, right click and properties.
8. Change the target of the shortcut to include “Login.mac”

Old: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP$OULABI\Dynamics.exe" Dynamics.set
New: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP$OULABI\Dynamics.exe" Dynamics.set Login.mac

9. Open GP from this shortcut.

Logging file 'macro.log'
CheckActiveWin dictionary 'default' form Login window Login
MoveTo field 'User ID'
TypeTo field 'User ID' , 'sa'
MoveTo field Password
TypeTo field Password , '123'
MoveTo field 'OK Button'
ClickHit field 'OK Button'
NewActiveWin dictionary 'default' form 'Switch Company' window 'Switch Company'
ClickHit field '(L) Company Names' item 1 # ''
MoveTo field 'OK Button'
ClickHit field 'OK Button'
CommandExec dictionary 'default' form 'Command_System' command CloseAllWindows
ActivateWindow dictionary 'default' form Toolbar window 'Main_Menu_1'

Fix for Slow Correcting JE Lookups

I found the following post @ Mark's [MVP] blog and thought it will be helpful!

When you do a correcting Journal Entry in GP, the lookup to find the entry to correct can be brutally slow. it's so slow because it's looking up every journal entry you've done in, like, forever. It's so torturously slow that that the CIA is considering it for use at Guantanamo.

Well, today Jivtesh points us to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article that can help fix that. KB 925326 provides a small SQL script that adds a non-clustered index to the GL20000 and GL30000 tables.

That should help speed things up a bit. Of course, if you simply never made any mistakes, it would never be a problem.

How to search all columns of all tables in a database for a keyword?

BY http://vyaskn.tripod.com/search_all_columns_in_all_tables.htm

This procedure accepts a search string as input parameter, goes and searches all char, varchar, nchar, nvarchar columns of all tables (only user created tables. System tables are excluded), owned by all users in the current database. Feel free to extend this procedure to search other datatypes.

The output of this stored procedure contains two columns:

- 1) The table name and column name in which the search string was found
- 2) The actual content/value of the column (Only the first 3630 characters are displayed)

Here's a word of caution, before you go ahead and run this procedure. Though this procedure is quite quick on smaller databases, it could take hours to complete, on a large database with too many character columns and a huge number of rows. So, if you are trying to run it on a large database, be prepared to wait (I did use the locking hint NOLOCK to reduce any locking). It is efficient to use Full-Text search feature for free text searching, but it doesn't make sense for this type of ad-hoc requirements.

Create this procedure in the required database and here is how you run it:

--To search all columns of all tables in Pubs database for the keyword "Computer"
EXEC SearchAllTables 'Computer'
GO

Here is the complete stored procedure code:

CREATE PROC SearchAllTables
(
@SearchStr nvarchar(100)
)
AS
BEGIN

-- Copyright © 2002 Narayana Vyas Kondreddi. All rights reserved.
-- Purpose: To search all columns of all tables for a given search string
-- Written by: Narayana Vyas Kondreddi
-- Site: http://vyaskn.tripod.com
-- Tested on: SQL Server 7.0 and SQL Server 2000
-- Date modified: 28th July 2002 22:50 GMT

CREATE TABLE #Results (ColumnName nvarchar(370), ColumnValue nvarchar(3630))

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @TableName nvarchar(256), @ColumnName nvarchar(128), @SearchStr2 nvarchar(110)
SET @TableName = ''
SET @SearchStr2 = QUOTENAME('%' + @SearchStr + '%','''')

WHILE @TableName IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SET @ColumnName = ''
SET @TableName =
(
SELECT MIN(QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME))
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) > @TableName
AND OBJECTPROPERTY(
OBJECT_ID(
QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME)
), 'IsMSShipped'
) = 0
)

WHILE (@TableName IS NOT NULL) AND (@ColumnName IS NOT NULL)
BEGIN
SET @ColumnName =
(
SELECT MIN(QUOTENAME(COLUMN_NAME))
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = PARSENAME(@TableName, 2)
AND TABLE_NAME = PARSENAME(@TableName, 1)
AND DATA_TYPE IN ('char', 'varchar', 'nchar', 'nvarchar')
AND QUOTENAME(COLUMN_NAME) > @ColumnName
)

IF @ColumnName IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #Results
EXEC
(
'SELECT ''' + @TableName + '.' + @ColumnName + ''', LEFT(' + @ColumnName + ', 3630)
FROM ' + @TableName + ' (NOLOCK) ' +
' WHERE ' + @ColumnName + ' LIKE ' + @SearchStr2
)
END
END
END

SELECT ColumnName, ColumnValue FROM #Results
END

Finding Table and Field Information in Microsoft Dynamics GP

By David Musgrave

To get information about tables and fields in Microsoft Dynamics GP, you can
use any of the following 10 methods:

1.
Open the Microsoft Dynamics GP window that contains the data you are
interested in, and then select Tools -> Integrate -> Table Import to see the
tables associated with the Dexterity Form.

2.
Open the Microsoft Dynamics GP window that contains the data you are
interested in, and then select Tools -> Customise -> Customise Current
Window. Once you’re in Modifier Layout mode, look at the window object
properties. Usually the most important table for a form is linked as the
AutoLink table. Then close the layout window and look at the Tables tab of
the Form Definition window to see the attached tables (these will be the same
as shown in method 1).

Note: Using this method can create additional windows in the Modifier that
have not actually been modified. You should check whether the window already
exists in the Modifier before using this method. That way, you will know
whether the window can be deleted.

3.
Try using SQL logging by adding the following lines into the DEX.INI file:

SQLLogSQLStmt=TRUE

SQLLogODBCMessages=TRUE

SQLLogAllODBCMessages=TRUE

Then delete the DEXSQL.LOG just before performing the actions you are
interested in and look at the DEXSQL.LOG file immediately after.

4.
Load the SDK (Software Developers Kit). The kit contains transaction flow
documents that show which tables to use for specific transactions. It also
contains PDF E-R (Entity-Relationship) diagrams that show the tables and
their relationships.

5.
Select Tools -> Resources -> Tables, and use the Table Resource window to
look up tables.

6.
Use a tool such as SnapShot (available from the Development page of
Winthrop Dexterity Consultants). This tool can display and export information
about tables. However, its main function is to provide platform and account
framework independent data transfer, backup, and migration.

7.
Load Dexterity (from the Tools folder on the second Microsoft Dynamics GP
CD), open the dictionary, and look at the form definition to get the attached
tables. This will be the same list as provided in methods 1 and 2.

8.
Open the window and print the associated report to the screen. Next select
Tools -> Customise -> Modify Current Report. Then look at the tables attached
to the report from the Report Definition.

Note: Using this method can create additional reports in the Report Writer
that have not actually been modified. You should check whether the report
already exists in the Report Writer before using this method. That way, you
will know whether the window can be deleted.

9.
This is probably the most powerful of all the methods listed and is
normally available only to the Dexterity developer. Add the following lines
into the DEX.INI file in the application folder to turn Debug mode on.
(Please do not use these settings for live systems.)

ScriptDebugger=TRUE

ScriptDebuggerProduct=0

The zero represents the product ID for Microsoft Dynamics GP (as shown in
the DYNAMICS.SET launch file). If you are interested in another product, you
can use the product ID for that product.

Launch Microsoft Dynamics GP. You should now see a Debug menu on the right
side of the menu bar. Get to where you want to start logging and profiling.
Select Debug -> Profile Scripts, Debug -> Clear Profile, Debug -> Log Scripts
and select a filename. Then perform the actions you want to log. Next select
Debug -> Log Scripts to stop the logging, Debug -> Save Profile to save the
profile, and Debug -> Profile Scripts to turn off profiling.

Now look at the script log and the script profile files. The script log
shows all the Dexterity calls with their parameters and hierarchy. The script
profile shows you the scripts called, how many times they were called, and
how much time was spent inside the call. Here is the trick: The bottom half
of the script profile shows all the tables that were touched and what actions
took place.

Note: This step only logs Dexterity-based table actions. If a stored
procedure is called, Dexterity cannot see what is happening. Therefore,
Dexterity will not log those table actions.

10.
As a final option, you can turn on SQL activity tracking from Enterprise
Manager to see what actions Microsoft SQL Server is doing.
