We have been using FRx for over 6 years and works beautifully. I've just discovered that FRx will not work with Dynamics GP 2013. This is horrible news. From what I've researched we have to use "Dynamics Management Reporter" whatever that is, yet I see it listed under our reg keys, but no license key for it.
I checked the downloads page for this on Customersource, yet Dynamics GP 2013 is not listed as compatible. So we use nothing??? I've also read of many features not available such as row linking, which maybe 50% of our hundreds of reports use.
We paid over $14,000 for FRx and annually pay enhancments on it (around $2k). Where did all that money go if it hasn't been changed in over 2 years??

Yes it will work, but it will not be supported, as long as it is using a 32bit ODBC to the SQL data. I was "told" that it really should be run on a 32bit server as well but I have not tested the differences.
You also need to make sure it is not installed on your 2013 server, it has to on a different server for it to work correctly, but again this is NOT supported.
Chad,
Could you please elaborate? I'm on GP2010 and have FRx installed on a 64-bit server & it's running fine. Are you saying it will still work after upgrading to GP2013? That would be good since trying to get MR working properly has been a complete failure for me.
Also just an FYI.
Although it is not "supported" FRX WILL integrate with GP 2013 and be fully functional.
BUT it must be installed on a 32 bit sever and needs to use a 32bit ODBC.
Hi mebenz.
I just wanted to do a quick check if you are still active and still facing the same problem? My suggestion would be to look at BI360, an Excel-based reporting tool with LIVE integrations to Microsoft Dynamics AX/NAV/GP/SL. BI360 has functionalities such as automatic report distribution, self-service reporting, drill-throughs etc. It can also run on the same server without any problems, and it is just a quick client install and you are up and running within the hour.
BI360 is a self-service reporting tool with 500+ customers that also can be used as a planning tool in your budget & forecast process.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or if you want a quick demo:

We only have 1 client (a citrix server that all users log into) so I'm confused as to what these unique topologies are.
If it's not required that the MR services be installed on a dedicated server, where does Microsoft recommend it be installed? What's the relationship between the MR Client, the MR service and the actual MR database and the Dynamics company databases (we have over 20)?
If the MR database is NOT on the same sql server as the Dynamics' databases, then those clients have to purchase multiple licenses for SQL ($$$$). How big does this MR database get? Does it not just hold the building blocks of each report? The data for the reports actually resides within each Dynamics company DB.
It's not required that the Management Reporter services be installed on a dedicated server. Each of your clients will have a unique topology and can decide how they want to deploy Management Reporter. In many cases we see customers that have the Management Reporter database alongside their ERP database on the same SQL Server.
Jill
For customers that have a SQL Server, Domain Controller plus terminal servers (citrix) as their clients, does it really need a separate server for the Management Reporter Services? How much processing can they possibly use? I'd like to avoid having to have yet another server configured for this.
Hi G1, I have to agree with you there, not having row link is big disadvantage.
