GP 2015 Performance Optimization

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Upgraded recently from GP 10 to 2015. Went from a physical server to a VMWare environment. I have recently begun looking into doing some performance optimization. 

Using this as my guide:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/898982

First thing I noticed was that I don't have PJOURNAL cleanup job. 

https://community.dynamics.com/gp/f/32/t/142342

According to this I should be looking for smCleanupCompanyPostingJournalEntries.  All I have is smCleanupPostingJournalEntries? I then looked in the GP/Utils folder only to find grant.sql? So the question becomes should I have the SPROC installed, and if so why didn't it get installed with the upgrade and patch I installed?

What else may be missing?

    I was able to pull the job from a backup and add it to my production environment.

    OK,

    Did you do a backup of your previous GP10 program folder ? basically the SQL script hasn't changed over the course of the various GP Releases... I just found it strange that it is missing in your GP 2015 program folder...

    I checked my TEST GP 2015R2 server, which is an upgrade from GP2010R2 and the file is in the SQL\Util folder too.

    Even if you don't have another instance of installed GP client, you could extract the 3 SQL scripts from the GP.CAB file that is located on the ISO DVD image of GP (any version).

    The .CAB file is located in the sub-folder \Bin on the DVD and when opening the GP.cab file with 7-Zip or windows explorer, locate the files starting with SqlUtil_xxxx. Extract them and rename them based on their content (should be fairly easy to identify). One file will be the dex_req.sql, another Grant.sql and the last one PJJob.sql.

    Hope this helps.

    As I said before no script in the SQL\Util folder.

    I was able to run a restore of my old SQL server and found the job.

    Could this be something M$ forgot to add to the build? I would think the standard install would check for this?

    Hi Matt,

    Typically if this job doesn't exist in the SQL Agent job task schedule, than you should recreate it..

    There is a SQL script readily available in the your GP client folder. Look for the sub-folder SQL\Util for the file PJjob.sql. Run this against your Dynamics GP SQL instance (msdb database) and it will re-create the task.

    The task will then periodically run against the DYNAMICS database and execute the smCleanupCompanyPostingJournalEntries stored procedure. Nothing else..

    Just looked again, no job.

     

    The PJOURNAL table has 23000 records in it…

    How did you made the GP 2015 setup ? the PJOURNAL cleanup job is part of the regular GP installation and only gets a SQL Agent Job entry on your SQL server... there is no maintenance task created.. just a job.

    Open your SQL management console and jump to the SQL Agent job window. You should see a scheduled job that runs every x-minutes (If not mistaken, it's every 30 minutes).
