Restoring a GP Company database when using MR's Datamart

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1

I haven't found any information on this, but since MR's datamart uses SQL Server Change Tracking, we have discovered that it is a problem to restore a Dynamics GP Company database, because then the DDM is no longer in sync with the company.

Does anyone know the proper sequence of steps to follow, when restoring a GP database in an environment that is using MR's DDM?

We have been removing the datamart, restoring the company database, and then restoring the datamart.  However, this makes restoring a database much more interruptive than we would like in a production environment, and I am looking for a quicker method.

Thanks!

    Thank you, Richard.  I hate that answer, though!  Thank you again.

    We actually cover this in our new Management Reporter book.  You are following the correct process.  You must delete the old DataMart and create a new one with the data from the restored database.
