Will SL run on virtual servers?

7.0 FP1 is supported on Windows 2008 Hyper-V, but prior versions are not officially supported in virtual environments. Refer to the System Requirements document for each specific version of SL to see what is supported.

RE: SL Support for SRS 2008?

If you create SSRS reports using BIDS 2008, they will only run with SQL 2008 RDL. SQL 2008 RS is very different than SQL 2005 architecturally and therefore it is not backwards compatible, nor is there an option to generate reports in SQL 2005 ‘format’ when working in BIDS 2008. This poses a problem with SL 7.0 FP1 because  all of the development was done using 2005. If you want to run SSRS reports in SQL 2005 (which implies SL 7.0 FP1), you must create them using BIDS 2005. This SQL limitation has been written up and is expected to be corrected in SQL 2010.


When releasing batches, some values not saving or receive Sys Msg 818

After applying a systems hotfix to Microsoft Dynamics(r) SL 7.0 Service Pack 1, you notice that certain values won't save unless you tab out of the field. You may also notice a System Message 818 - batch is out of balance message when trying to release a batch. This behavior may appear in a number of screens including:

- Voucher and Adjustment Entry
- Invoice and Memo Entry
- OM Shippers
- Journal Transactions
- Scheduled Billings and Revenue Entry
- Project Controller - Budget Maintenance

This issue is due to bug 18504. There is a hotfix available which can be downloaded from CustomerSource or PartnerSource.
