We are migrating from v9 to v10 in order to get the Canadian Payroll tax updates for 2012 entered into the system. The version 9.0386 has been running just fine in the environment for the past 4 years and no major issues have been encountered with this database server in a number of years. We have been keeping them as current as possible - based on their needs, GL, RM, PM and Canadian Payroll.
In preparing for the 2012 updates we recognized we needed to update to version 10. Did this in test, did this on 4 other clients systems with no substantial issues - reports modificiations and security issues - but in all cases all data converted first time.
Steps taken:
Backup of v9.0386 (9.0384 Payroll) Server GP Code folder
Backup of all 15 SQL database file
Backup of Reports and R7131 dictionaries
Installed the v10 from DVD w/ SP5 included
Applied the 2011 Year End Tax UPdate Service Pack to get the system to v10.01779 before running any GP Utilities or GP exe
Encountered the DU6449 Online Services fails on update - removed from the DynUtil.set and Dynamics.set as well as from the Add-ins folder
Restarted GP Utilities
Encountered NO ERRORS in either the Dynamics database or the AOML databases while converting
At the Additional Tasks, selected Launch GP
Entered the necessary Registration Keys – in both GP and Canadian Payroll
NOTE the data in the window indicating valid data from v9 shows in the control window
