MR 2012 Missing transactions

Posted on by 75,848 Moderator
Client is using MR 2.1.6041.36. Suddenly in the past few days they have noticed that transactions to certain accounts are missing from the MR 2012 reports. Is the only solution to rebuild the datamart? What are the correct steps to rebuild the datamart?

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for responding to the forums with your updates. I'm glad you were able to identify the issue with the newly added companies due to the missing functional currency.

    Once they told me about the two companies being added I quickly realized what was the issue. When I went and checked the datamart logs I saw that for these two new companies the functional currency was not assigned. So I did these three things:

    1) Assigned Function Currency (Z-US$) to new companies

    2) Ran Check Links on Multi-Currency setup in each company

    3) Enable Change Tracking

    Right after doing that, the log file now shows records coming and going in the datamart.

    Richard, I have the two books, MR and Posting Flow, sitting in my cart. I have an old coupon from last year from a GPUG meeting which I am sure is of no use now. If there are any current promotions going on right now please feel free to send me a coupon code via PM. Thanks again.

    I just found out that the night before this started they had added two companies to GP. I do not know if this is normal but it is a clue.

    Richard, as usual, you are always most kind. I need to get onto your web site and order not only this book but also the one about GP data flow.

    Rich, The data mart can get out of sync.  Also, if the reports are not built correctly, new added accounts may not be covered by the ranges displayed in the reports. As for rebuilding the data mart, this is covered starting on Page 218 of our Management Reporter book. But, since it is you.... Recreating an existing Data Mart or adding new ones require several steps. Unless you understand the operations below completely, consult with your MS Dynamics partner. But in any case...MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! If there is an existing Data Mart, steps 1-4 need to be executed to remove the original relationships. The steps are detailed here. Removing An Existing Integration Open the Configuration Console from the server. Select the Dynamics Data Mart ERP Integration from the left panel. In the right panel click the Remove link, and then click yes to confirm it will be deleted. Removing Companies In the left panel, select the Companies option to display the list. Select each of the Data Mart companies, one at a time, and click the Delete Company button at the bottom. Dropping the MS-SQL Database In the left panel, select the Companies option to display the list. Select each of the Data Mart companies, one at a time, and click the Delete Company button at the bottom. Recreating the Data Mart and MS SQL Database Open the Configuration Console from the server. From the menu, select File . Configure Select the Add Microsoft Dynamics GP Data Mart check box and click Next. Configure MS SQL Server connections. The Dynamics GP connection area defines the MS SQL Server instance where the Dynamics GP companies reside. The Data Mart connection area of the window defines the MS SQL Server instance where the DDM database will be created. In many cases, the Dynamics GP company database(s), the Management Reporter and the data mart (DDM) databases all reside on the same MS SQL Server instance. The data mart database can reside on a separate server from the Dynamics ERP system, as demonstrated in the screen shot. Click next to proceed to the summary window and click Configure at the bottom to create the new data mart. Enable the Integration Open the Configuration Console from the server. Select the Dynamics Data Mart ERP Integration from the left panel. In the right panel click the Enable Integration button. The setup and initial data mart propagation takes a few minutes. The Status section will update periodically. When complete, the Last time everything was fully integrated field will automatically update. Refreshing the Companies List In the left panel, select the Companies option to display the list. Select the Refresh Companies button at the bottom to refresh the list. Ensure the data mart companies appear. The Source System column will display the type of connection. Testing the Connection Open the Management Reporter Report Designer. Select Company . Companies from the menu bar. Highlight the newly created data mart company and click the Set As Default button. Click the Modify button and assign the proper Building Block Group. New companies inherit the Default Building Block Group, however the right reports may reside in a different one, so use the drop down to select the proper group. Close the open windows, select a report from the Report Definitions list and generate it. Compare the report totals to the general ledger to ensure accuracy. Review and adjust user security as required and begin using the new data mart for reporting. Review Security Select the Security section in the Report Designer. Review the Generator and Designer user access to the recreated DDM companies. For additional information regarding user security, refer to page .
