In this small publication we would like to review the mostcommon mistakes and pitfalls with FRx installation in client-serverenvironment: 1. Compatibility with Great Plains Dynamics GP10.0. FRx should be of the version 6.7and you must apply Service Pack 9. Youcan download FRx service pack from Dynamics GP Partner Source, if you are GreatPlains VAR or Consultant. Just to besure, that you will not be able to launch FRx user, if you just have FRx 6.7 CD Service Pack 9 or newer is required. If you are installing not the first FRx workstation, please apply thesame FRx Service pack as you have on other FRx workstations in productionenvironment 2. ODBC name misspelled. Yes, surprisingly enough this is one of themost popular mistakes, especially often done by internal IT people to whomGreat Plains Resellers are trying to entrust FRx installation job. Before calling to Microsoft Business Solutionstechnical support (if you are not on unlimited cases per year in your Deluxesupport plan), please open FRx, cancel logging to the company and follow thisroute: company, information, click on the intended company, switch to systemspecific information and write down Data Source Name. Then, open control panel, administrativetools, ODBC, System DSN and compare the name in FRx with the ODBC System DSNname (including spaces). If you now seethe difference, please do not change the Data Source Name in FRX (if you dothis all the other, old FRx users will lose the connection to the companyfrom their FRx workstations), instead create new system DSN on the new FRxworkstation 3. Other support cases are about changing Naturalsegment to be different from Dynamics GP first account segment, detail level,rebuilding FRx specification set (with catalog, row format, column layout,reporting tree), consolidation, where you eliminate intercompany transactionsin P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement
