Failed Loading MbfPackager Data Element (PD_GP_COMMON) for Install

Whenever you install Business Portal , most of the people will get error in MbfPackager.exe. Main cause of this problem is read/write permission to the folder.

If you get this error then you give the full access to "C:\intepub\wwwroot\". One more thing you run the business portal set up using "Run as Administrator" mode.

The above two methods solved my BP Installation Issue.

I hope this will help to all.

VBA AfterUserChanged Event

Actually I have to Enable or disable the window fields based on Populated window fields data.

I tried to achieve this requirement using VBA AfterUserCahnged Event.

But Enable or disabling field on After User changed event is not worked properly. It Woking based on previously populated data in window.

If I debug the code, it is working fine. If I remove debug , it is not working.

So I have written some VBA warning messgae. Now it is worked after the warning message.

But actually I don't want to pop up unnecessary pop ups. So I tried to suppress that warning message using Window_BeforeModelDialog() event.

But that event only capturing the Dexterity pop ups. So Now I have changed my VBA pop up to Dexterity pop up window.

Dim CompilerApp As New Dynamics.Application

Dim CompilerMessage As String

Dim Commands As String

Commands = ""

Commands = Commands & "warning ""Jeganeedhi's POP up""; "

CompilerError = CompilerApp.ExecuteSanscript(Commands, CompilerMessage)

Now I able to catch this window in Window_BeforeModelDialog() event.

Now my customization is working fine..

It may be not a recommended solution..But it saved lots of time to solve this issue.

eConnect error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL

Most of the client system is not ready to execute the applications developed by Econeect com objects. For Example. Some application will work good in our development environment but when you try to run in Client side it will not work. Some times it will throw COM exceptions..

Error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)

at System.Runtime.Remoting.Activation.ActivationServices.IsCurrentContextOK(Type serverType, Object[] props, Boolean bNewObj)
at CustomerMaster.CustomerMaster.Main()

Cause:
Problem in MSTDC or Some DTC prerequest is not installed in that system.

Resolution:

1.Go To Component services(Start--Administrative Tools-->Component Services)
2.Go To My Computer in Component services
3.Right Click and go to properties of My computer
4.Click MSTDC tab and goto Security Configuration
4.Make sure that following fields are checked in that window AllowInbound.Allow outbound,XA transactions,No authentication
5.Then you restart the Distributed Transaction Service in Services.
6. Some time service restart will through same exception.
7.If DTC throw any exception then you should check the system has installed MSMQ or not.Mostlt DTC throw error due to absence of MSMQ
8.Install MSMQ and restart service
9.Now you execute your application.

Internal error 2908 during eConnect installation

Internal error 2908 .

Cause 1:
This is typically caused by something being damaged in .NET framework in that particular system.
The eConnect .NET bits are all written on the 1.1 framework or There is an invalid version of mscoree.dll on the computer
Resolution 1:
So repairing .NET framework 1.1 would probably be the first step to try to solve this problem.
Repair .NET framework 1.1:
Steps to repair the .NET Framework installation
Step1: Obtain the original installation source. For example, if you installed the .NET Framework from a CD-ROM or from a
DVD, insert that disc. If you downloaded the .NET Framework , download the .NET Framework again. Make sure that you
click save to disk. If you installed the .NET Framework from a network share, reconnect to that share.
Step2: Click Start, click Run, type the following command, and then click OK: Step3:N:\dotnetframework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /i c:\temp\netfx.msi REINSTALL=ALL ReinstallMODE=vomus" Note Replace N:\ in this command syntax with the original installation path.
Important If you do not have a C:\temp folder on your computer, create one before you run this command.
Resolution 2:
Try to delete mscoree.dll from system32 directory and then install .NET Framework (or move it somewhere if you cannot delete it).
Or do the following steps
1.From the desktop, double-click My Computer.
2.Open the C drive.
3.Open the WINDOWS or WINNT folder.
4.Open the System32 folder.
5.Right-click the mscoree.dll file and select Rename. (For Windows 98 and ME systems, this file is located in the system folder instead of system32).
6.Rename the file to oldmscoree.dll and press .
7.Delete the URTTEMP folder. (For Windows 98 and ME systems, this file is located in the system folder instead of system32)
8.Go back to My Computer.
9.Open the WINDOWS folder and delete the Microsoft.NET folder.
Reinstall the Microsoft.NET Framework by removing and inserting the Point installation CD-ROM.
10.When the installation is complete, open My Computer.
11.Open the C drive.
12.Open the WINDOWS or WINNT folder.
13.Open the System32 folder and delete the oldmscoree.dll file.
Cause 2:
This error may occurring in the Microsoft installer and may be caused by either anti-virus or other file detection software.
Resolution:
Disable Anti-Virus / Anti-Spy ware programs as they may be preventing the Microsoft installer from writing to the registry.

PPV Not Displaying with PO Receipt

eConnect, when used with: Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 Microsoft Business Solutions–Great Plains 8.0 Microsoft Business Solutions–Great Plains 7.5

1.When loading a PO Receipt containing items with a FIFO/LIFO Periodic valuation method (standard cost), eConnect is not creating the distributions properly. eConnect is not handling this.

2.When loading a PO Receipt containing Non-Inventory items, eConnect is not creating the distributions properly for PPV.

You should handle this problem in taPOPEnterMatchInvHdrPost event.

Why eConnect use windows authentication

While I am going to talk about eConnect, I would like to disclaim that the explanations are JUST out of my understanding of the concepts of eConnect and the structure. Please do refer to some more articles from Microsoft, Consultants worldwide and others to know more about this and also correct my own understanding in case you find it irrelevant.eConnect use Windows Authentication to converse with GP Databases instead of the traditional SQL Authentication (which GP uses). There could be various reasons why it is designed in such a way.

I am listing some of the important reasons:

1. eConnect does not require GP Application, or precisely, it does not depend on an Instance of GP Application to be running (which is the case with Integration Manager for most of its Integrations). This would mean that, the login credentials for an eConnect integration cannot be inherited from anywhere. We still have to establish a Connection String (ODBC) to the GP Databases to access the data and manipulate it.

2. eConnect is designed to run in the background and access/manipulate the GP databases without anyone's idea of what's going on with the records and database. Apparently, there should be a kind of authentication which is much more stronger than the basic SQL Authentication, which the Windows Authentication provides us.

3. eConnect is the base for almost all the web based features we have for Dynamics GP, such as Webservices, Business Portal, etc. We cannot have a compartively weaker Authentication level when we allow anyone to access GP Databases from anywhere.4. eConnect can utilize MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing), to queue the integrations from anywhere to the Dynamics GP server. In such cases, it has to have a Windows Authentication to pass the MSMQueuing validations.I am still learning more concepts on these two Authentications and its scope with respect to GP and related products. I will update more points with references, so it does not just go in as a theory.
