Business Portal is Microsoft Windows SharePoint 3.0 application and as such it also
requires .Net Framework 3.0. If you plan to install it for test purposes, please
first enter license key in your Microsoft Great Plains, where you have Fabricam test
company installed. In this small article we would like to give you additional
practical Business Portal installation highlights:
1. 64 Bit Windows 2003. At this time BP is not supported and it is simply not
installable on 64 bit Windows server. You will get error message about MS
SharePoint not installed, even if you have just loaded 64 bit version of MS SP 3.0
Services. Microsoft will begin first testing of its BP for GP as scheduled closer
to the end of 2007. We may expect your disappointment as you are reading these
lines, especially knowing facts, when our customers plan to use Sharepoint Server in
64 bit clustered environment, as Business Portal is very good fit for large
enterprises
2. eConnect as connector to GP. eConnect integrations became standard component for
peripheral modules, which are not designed in Microsoft Dexterity. eConnect does
similar to Dex job in creating, modifying and deleting master records, such as
customer, employee, vendor and work transactions, such as SOP invoice
3. Installation process. If you are not reinstalling Sharepoint, installation works
from the first time. In the case when you decide to reinstall or upgrade, we heard
complains about Sharepoint initiation failing (Configuration Wizard step 8)
