Solution

The following steps can be used to resolve the issue.

1. Make a complete backup of the Dynamics and company SQL databases.

2. In the Microsoft Dynamics GP installation directory, rename the slbuild.dic and Application.SmartListBuilder.dll files.

3. In the Addin folder in the Microsoft Dynamics GP installation directory, rename the eOne.Dynamics.GP.DrillDownBuilder.Engine and eOne.Dynamics.GP.ExcelBuilder.Engine.dll files.

4. In the Control Panel, open the Programs and Features window. Find the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 installation and click Change. Remove the SmartList Builder Feature from the installation.

5. In the Control Panel, open the Programs and Features window if it isn't still open. Find the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 installation again and click Change. Add the SmartList Builder Feature to the installation.

6. In SQL Management Studio, run the following scripts to reset the status and version so the update will run again in Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities.

update DYNAMICS..DB_Upgrade SET db_status=0 WHERE PRODID=3830

update DYNAMICS..DB_Upgrade SET db_verMajor=10, db_verBuild=84, db_verOldMajor=10, db_verOldBuild=84 WHERE PRODID=3830

update DYNAMICS..DU000020 SET versionMajor=10, versionBuild=84 WHERE PRODID=3830

7. Launch Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities, log in as 'sa', and run through the Dynamics and company database update.

8. Verify the following scripts run without error in SQL Management Studio

select Extender_Type, Extender_ID from DYNAMICS..DDB10000

select Extender_Type, Extender_ID from DYNAMICS..ERB10100

select Extender_Type, Extender_ID from DYNAMICS..NLB10100
