In best case scenario you as Microsoft Dynamics GP customer who is following therecommended version updates and who is currently is on version 9.0 or 10.0. Howeverit is also common, when you have GPS Dynamics, eEnterprise and Dynamics C/S+ forhistorical records lookup and when your old company is now on the shelf . Theseand others situations may require you to search for consultant help in restoring GPSDynamics for the following legacy versions: 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5. Thesementioned versions were available on several DB platforms: Ctree/Faircom, PervasiveSQL 2000/Btrieve and Microsoft SQL Server 6.5, 7.0 and 2000. If you do not havePervasive SQL floppy disks with license key (it is lost through these years) we canrestore GPS Dynamics on Pervasive/Btrieve on single user workstation. Some GPSDynamics on Btrieve reinstallation highlights:1. Btrieve Single User Workstation. Typical Dynamics folder with System andcompanies folders in it mounting in the new environment recommendations are thefollowing try to copy them to old workstation, where OS is Windows 2000 or WindowsXP, don t put these on Vista2. Locations concept. Btrieve technology manages records from workstation incontract with MS SQL Server, where workstation just sends tabular text to the serverand gets response. This is why Btrieve needs to know about where your data (such asGL00100.BTR) files are. Locations are stored in SY02100.BTR normally you findthere records like the following: :C:/Dynamics/. Now let s move on to locationtranslation concept3. Location Translation table: SY03600.BTR. It would be too inflexible if onceinstalled GPS Dynamics on Btrieve could not be moved due to fixed location scenario. This is why Great Plains Software designed location translation mechanism. If youmove your Dynamics from C:\Dynamics to \\Myserver\Dynamics\ you need to giveDynamics location translation command4. Fate of GPS Dynamics. In the end of 20th century Microsoft purchased GreatPlains Software and took over its ERP products: Great Plains successor is nowMicrosoft Dynamics GP, current version is 10.0 (September 2007)5. Great Plains Dynamics legacy version upgrade. This is highly recommended thatyou stay with your historical investment and pay for being reinstalled in MicrosoftDynamics annual enhancement program6. Great Plains Accounting migration to Microsoft Dynamics GP. We do not recommendto do it in house, as it has multiple settings and what-if decisions and fixes
