Table Maintenance

As third-party products are not included in the Dynamics GP upgrade process, Mekorma provides its own unified table upgrade system for all your GP companies. Table Maintenance must be run anytime you install or upgrade. You must also run table maintenance after a new company is created in GP. This process serves to either create tables in the SQL database upon a new install, or to update them when there has been a software upgrade.

This window below will appear automatically after you install or upgrade:

!Only the system administrator is prompted to run the table maintenance process, so be sure to log in as ‘sa’ after installation. This is true whether you are creating tables for the first time or upgrading.

*To manually access the Table Maintenance window, Login as ‘sa’ and go to the Mekorma Area Page > Setup > System > Table Maintenance. If you are not a system administrator, a warning message displays and the window will close.

Requirements

• Individual companies can be upgraded at the same time or separately within the Table Maintenance window.
  

• No one should be working on a Mekorma product while the upgrade process is running. For example, no one should be selecting AP or Payroll batches or processing payments via Print Mekorma Payments, the Action Board, or Remote Payment Services.

• Registration keys are obtained automatically, so when the table update process is complete, Mekorma Products should be ready to use. If any registration error occurs, see the section on product registration for more details.

New Mekorma Installation or Product Upgrade:

1. Select the companies that need tables created or updated, and click Process & Enable Selected Companies. (You do not need to update all companies at the same time).

2. When the process is finished, close the Mekorma Products Table Maintenance window.
