SQL SA password restoring GP databases from production to test

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Linda_AGI 67

I would like to restore my test GP SQL databases with my production GP databases for some testing we would like to do.  I'm curious if the Dynamics db should be one of the databases I restore?  My concern is that the SQL sa password on the test system is different than the SQL sa password on the production system so if I restore the Dynamics db will the sa password now be out of sync on the test system between the SQL server and the GP application?

    'sa' passwords are part of SQL not individual databases. You will be fine. There is a note index in the DYNAMICS database that you will need for your companies so it good to this databases along with your other companies.

    Dear Linda,

    The sa password in one system or the other will have no effect on your ability to log into Microsoft Dynamics GP with the sa account. You can use the instructions in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/878449 to create an exact copy of your production environment in your test environment. To your question, this also involves the system database - DYNAMICS in your case.
