Press Release Body: According to Microsoft Dynamics GP technical support, today on
November 16, 2007 MBS release Service Pack 1 for GP 10.0, and by doing this ended
long lasting GP upgrade path problem: if you were on GP 9.0 higher than SP2, then
you had to wait with upgrading to GP version 10.0. In this small article we would
like to stress some of the known issues fixed in 10 SP1:
1. IV10200 upgrade freezing. According to MBS technical sources, if you had over
several hundred thousand records in this table, the chances were high that upgrade
will fail. In our practice we have upgrade example, where number of records in
IV10200 is below one hundred thousand, and it was still crashing at this step
2. GP 9.0 to 10.0 upgrade performance issue. From various sources we had the story
that upgrade from 9.0 to 10.0 took a way longer than upgrade from 7.0 to 10.0. This
issue is fixed in GP 10.0 SP1
3. Security migration 9.0->10.0 failure issue. As you might know if you follow
upgrade wizard and select default path for GP 10 workstation installation, security
migration should fail. And this is due to the spaces in "Microsoft Dynamics GP"
path. In the past what you had to do is supersede default installation path with
the one without spaces
4. Upgrade recommendations. If you are on version 9.0, then install GP 10.0 and
apply service pack 1 prior to launching GP utilities
5. Security upgrade workaround. In GP 10.0 Security architecture was completely
redesigned and now it represents nice tasks and roles. However for you it means
that you will have to come through homework and review existing security settings,
especially former 9.0 user classes and then base GP security roles on GP modules
specific assignment: GL, Project Accounting, Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order
Processing, Inventory Control, etc.
