Dynamics GP Technical Training: Integration Manager, Dexterity, Crystal Reports

January 17th, 2010

If your organization requires custom Microsoft Dynamics GP training in such fields as Modification, Reporting, Integration, Data Conversion, ecommerce programming, eConnect, we would like to give you initial highlights on Dynamics GP technology architecture and tools.  Advanced technical training is probably recommended for large organization, where you have to develop unique in-house ecommerce website, automate supply chain management processes (automatic packaging, barcode scanning in picking and delivery), advanced Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) integrations.  Some of the tools, such as Microsoft Dynamics GP Dexterity is recommended for outsourcing to GP Technology Partner and if you absolutely need Dexterity customizations – these are not easy and not ready for quick learning curve for in-house developers.  If you have huge internal Dexterity development project, then you may consider training your own programmers in Dex.  Let’s begin tools review and training methodologies:

1. Integration tools.  GP Integration Manager is recommended to all GP customers, as it could be considered as end user friendly plus it has advanced integration even driven scripts and other methods to create very complex and sophisticated integration.  Usually we train you programmers to build integration on SQL Views and Advanced ODBC integration on Microsoft ODBC Text driver (where you can unionize, group, weed out records from original text file), plus give them directions on VBA scripting for Integration events: Before Integrations (setup integration variables, such as dates), Before document commit (to alter the document), After Integration (where you can update related records in custom tables via Microsoft ADO technology).  Second integration tool we would like to mention here is eConnect SDK, which is optimal for accessing GP objects from such applications as Microsoft Visual Studio project for custom eCommerce.  If you are experienced C# or VB.Net programmer with good exposure to XML and SQL Stored Procedures, eConnect should be simple enough for you, assuming that you are reasonably familiar with Dynamics GP objects: SOP Invoice, Customer, Inventory Item, GL Account, etc.  For EDI integrations to GP we recommend you to process EDI files directly in Integration Manager (you can specify there custom field separator, if required) or parse EDI file in SQL Server Linked Server (with precisely formatted SQL Select Statement) and then deploy Integration Manager Advanced ODBC Query as a base

2. Customization Tools.  Two traditional tools are Dexterity and Modifier with VBA scripting.  Modifier is targeted to simple GP screens customizations and custom buttons animation with VBA event driven scripts.  Dexterity is more fundamental and it was introduced in earlier 1990s as Great Plains Dynamics architecture.  Dex has its own Integrated Development Environment and Sanscript programming language (built as the shell in C++).  We provide Dexterity training via web sessions to dedicated developers in your organization – often we provide training having your specific project as a study model, as the whole tables structure is too broad for being covered in the training.  There are also relatively new tools, such as Extender, where you can extend GP with new screens not being programmer (also you can add Dexterity Sanscript scripts to Extender objects, if you use Enterprise version of Extender)

3. Reporting Tools.  We need to mention FRx Financial Reporting, it is perfectly formalized and if you are professional accountant you should be able to build reports (Balance, P&L, Cash Flow, plus consolidated versions).  For Industry reporting you usually chose either Crystal Reports, or Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).  Both methods typically require you to abstract report itself from its database query – or in other words, good idea is to base report on SQL View or Stored Procedure versus trying to use directly Report Wizard.  Please, find Dynamics GP Tables Structure in GP SDK (CD#2) or directly via GP user interface: Tools->Resource Descriptions->Tables.  There also are Dynamics GP ReportWriter reports, such as SOP Blank Invoice Form (where you usually want to place your company graphical logo), Sales Aging Report with Buckets (where you often want to change buckets or add new one).  RW requires some training , which is typically provided directly by your Dynamics GP Partner or Consultant

4. Data Conversion training.  Here you typically need to accurately prepare your data sources (often in Excel) and have several attempts in GP Integration Manager, every time to improve integration quality.  We will help you in Integration setup and verification

Top Romantic Vacations in Canada

January 16th, 2010

Though Canada is known for its large share of deep winter freeze, it is also among the most popular places with spectacular natural vistas. It is also one of the most sought after honeymoon destinations, because of the sensual delight associated with cities such as Quebec City, Vancouver, and Niagara Falls.
Those who assume that Canada is just another version of the USA, are greatly mistaken. The country’s wild northern frontier has successfully etched itself into the national psyche. Its distinct patchwork comprising different people has shaped a country that is decidedly distinguishing from its neighbor.
Canada’s three-dimensional character edging between the nation’s indigenous tradition, and that of a mix of British and French traditions, make it both remarkable and complex. This, together with a plethora of traditions brought by the migrants and by the continuous infusion of US culture, make up for the nation’s multicultural society.
Romantic Vacation in Quebec City
Quebec City offers a blend of aristocracy and the charm of Montreal, and is easily accessible from Montreal. Visitors can travel to Quebec City either by road (takes two hours and a half) or take a plane or train, all of which are comfortable. This city with its backdrop a distinct European charm, makes the perfect setting for a romantic interlude in the winter, lighting or rekindling the flames of love in hearts.
In Quebec City, you can spend the day exploring boutiques and shops, riding the romantic calèche (a horsedrawn carriage) through the old Quebec City, relaxing in a spa, strolling hand-in-hand with your loved one through the streets admiring the gracious old buildings and forts. Take up to any activity, the aura of the city is such, that there is got to be romance everywhere.
During your visit to Quebec City, you have to savor its dining experience that is amongst the finest in North America. The intimate tête-à-tête with your beloved will surely set the mood for love. If you enjoy crafts and art, you will be delighted to know that the city often takes up to hosting cultural shows, exhibitions, as well as performances by musicians and dance troupes. Whichever time of the year you visit Quebec City, you will have something to enjoy.
Romantic Vacation in Vancouver
Vancouver with its fresh ocean air, green mountains, variety of eateries and accommodation facilities, and abundant recreation is simply great for romantic vacations. The most unique aspect of Vancouver is its location, surrounded by spectacular natural beauty. Besides breathtaking sceneries, the city offers great sports such as golfing, hiking, skiing, and sailing to its visitors. One can drive down to Whistler easily, within an hour and a half, and a ferry to Victoria takes only a 30 km trip southwards. There is plenty to enjoy in beautiful and romantic Vancouver.
Romantic Getaway to Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is renowned as the honeymoon capital of the world with its dramatic views and scenic tunnels. The first thing to do on a romantic Niagara Falls getaway is to focus on the falls themselves. This is where the romance and magic lives. It is not possible to describe the feeling of wonder that comes over you when standing on the “Maid of the Mist” boat and seeing all that water cascading over the falls, and no there is better way of seeing it than with the person you love. It truly is an unforgettable experience and romantic way to start your getaway.
Apart from the great natural wonder of the falls, the Niagara area also has tons of restaurants and hotels. There are shows and casinos to keep you busy not to mention lots of scenic trails and even day trips where you can visit some of Ontario’s major wine regions. Close by is the beautiful quaint town of Niagara on the Lake. If you still need more to do, there is always the IMAX theatre where you will be hanging onto your seat, and a host of additional museums and Niagara Falls exhibits to meander through.
