Project Server and Business Portal…let the fighting begin!

Categories:

by

I recently upgraded a client from SharePoint v2.0 to v2010.  The upgrade was successful, and the Business Portal implementation on SharePoint Server 2010 was also successful.  Then, we installed Project Server on the same web application that Business Portal was installed on.  After the Project installation, SharePoint stopped working and threw up the generic error …

I’m sure all of you have read and thoroughly enjoyed my blog post on manually changing the SysData location.  Well, today I was doing a server move and ran into the same issue, so I followed my own advice but it still wouldn’t update properly!  I was stumped, until I realized that, sometimes, there is …

Manually changing SysData location

Categories:

Recently, after installing FRx 6.7 with the media for GP 10 (the media that includes SP9), I ran into an issue changing the SysData location.  Typically, when trying to change the location through the back end, I would modify the FRx32.cfg file and make the change in here.  However, when trying to do it with …

Failed to start service SPSearchServiceInstance on this server after completing upgrade. Please start it manually.

Categories:

Came across an interesting one yesterday.  We had a client getting ready to upgrade from Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010.  The only problem with doing the straight database detach and attach upgrade was that WSS 3.0 was still on SP1.  So I downloaded SP2 to the WSS server and went through …

Categories:

If you’ve ever updated Microsoft Dynamics GP, whether it be an upgrade from v9.0 to v2010 or from SP1 to SP2, you’ve no doubt encountered the frozen screen with (Not Responding) added to all the windows.  Traditionally, this means that the window has stopped responding and will probably not come back.  What is our first instinct …

GP Client Installs but Doesn’t Launch

Categories:

by

I ran into weird problem recently.  Twice in fact.  Doing a new install of Microsoft Dynamics GP on a client workstation, it installs just fine, but then when I try to launch GP Utilities, nothing happens.  No error messages, nothing in the event viewer, no stalled process, nothing. Upon further investigation and revelation by the client, I find …

GP Upgrade Fails at Table

Categories:

Picture this scenario.  You’re cruising right along through a Microsoft Dynamics GP upgrade, when all of a sudden you get to table updates and the whole upgrade bombs out on you.  You relaunch Utilities, and same thing.  Of course, the errors the UI gives you are definitely explanitory in telling you what’s wrong… Thankfully, there …

HRM Self-Service Workflows Not Submitting

Categories:

by

Recently, I’ve had some issues with Microsoft Dynamics GP –  HRM (Human Resource Management) workflows.  Specifically, whenever users submit timecards, they say they’re submitted, but they don’t flow through to the user’s manager.  And it’s not just one user, it’s everyone in the system.  What’s happening? Well, the first thing you want to check is …
