GP2013 Upgrade - Dexterity Customization

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

We are planning to upgrade GP for one of our customers from GP2010 to GP2013. They have one dexterity customization and we have the chunk file for it. Please help us in how to upgrade this customization for them.

Look forward to hearing for you all soon.

Kind Regards,

Renjan

    Hi Renjan,

    Did you ask your dexterity developer to check the Extracted Dictionary whether the code fully encrypted ? If suppose, the code is not encrypted you could save a good amount of time in not recreating the customization from the scratch. It is just a thought.

    Hi Bill,

    We contracted a dexterity developer to develop the customization from the scratch.

    Best Regards,

    Renjan

    Renjan, before you go over and try to recreate the customization - can you get the person or company that developed the customization for your customer and see if they have an update they can provide for the latest version.

    If you can not find or don't know who built the customiztion, then the advice provided before is solid, but I would try to find the original developer if possible.

    Hi,

    Assuming from your post that you have a dexterity customization which is installed on the client environment and you don't have the source code of the customization. If you have the source code it is straight forward to use the Dexterity Utilities to upgrade your customization and it is depends upon how complex it is. If you have any modified form or reports all those needs to be reworked on the 2015 version.

    Assuming, if you don't have the source code(dexterity code), the first option is to check the extracted dictionary of the chunk file(GP Installed folder) to check whether the code is encrypted. If it is encrypted(No Source) is displayed for your customization then you don't have other options and the customization has to be started from scratch in GP 2015.

    Note: In order to upgrade the code using dexterity utilities use the utilities help file.

    Renjan, Can you bit explain the dexterity customization details?  Do you have any GP forms or report modified?
