Remove Posted PJOURNALs

I am having a problem with the PJournal. Several months ago, IT did move GP 2016 to a new server without doing an install. We were told by support that a MS Dynamics GP /Repair/ would load the job. However, we rocked along for roughly 3 months without a problem only to crash with the same PJOURNAL error today. I'm attaching all of the screen prints. I just read the following statement in the doc referenced in this thread https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/dynamics/gp/experience-slow-performance

A PJOURNAL job is also created when you install Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains 7.5 and Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains 8.0. The PJOURNAL job must be turned on manually for the job to manage the PJOURNAL table so that the table does not grow larger and affect performance.

IF I was supposed to manually turn on the job, please tell me how to do that. I can't find anything anywhere.

THANK YOU!!!

Hi Peggy-

I answered this in another forum post, but I am not sure you are getting notifications of replies, so answering here too.

Typically when I have to upgrade SQL Server and it requires moving all of the GP databases to this new server, one of the steps I have always done is to save the job as a SQL script in SQL Server Management Studio and then run those scripts on the new server to get them created again.

To turn on the job, you'll have to use SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your SQL Server, expand SQL Server Agent, expand Jobs, find the "Remove Posted PJOURNALs From All Companies" job, right click on it and select Enable.

I hope this helps.

Joe

Hi Peggy,

As Joe said, your IT teams missed the portage of all the SQL jobs that should have been moved over when the GP Instance was restored to a new SQL server..

When you don't perform a setup from scratch with a new DYNAMICS system DB with GP Utilities, those SQL jobs DO NOT get recreated.. as it's part of the process when setting up a new GP instance with GP Utilities only.

Your best bet (as long the old SQL server is still there) is to save the old SQL jobs by generating the CREATE scripts in SQL Studio Management.. if not, there is a sub-folder in the GP Program Folder called SQL, in which you should find the scripts to recreate the PJOURNAL job... if you can't find it, let us know.
