Recommended Database Maintenance

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 62

Hello, 

What is the recommended database maintenance procedures for GP2018 R2. I've noticed that the DBMaintenance.exe is missing and we are running into issues with SSRS. Would creating a scheduled index rebuild cause any issues?

Thank you

    The Database Maintenance Utility actually is only used to re-create objects such as indexes, stored procedures, triggers, functions, it really doesn't do database maintenance, if that is what you're truly looking for.

    (FYI, you can copy a DBMaintenance.exe from a GP 2018 install, and copy/paste it into a GP 2018 R2 directory and it will work fine. You can't copy it from a prior version of GP, such as GP 2016, as the application version won't match the GP version, thus will throw a version error)

    I'd recommend the following:

    These links have information on a database maintenance plan to use with Dynamics GP, as well as performance information on maintaining and optimizing a Dynamics GP environment.

    Thank you,
