To replace the files, follow these steps.
- Identify the folder where the BA Configurator for SQL 2008 is installed (that is the configurator.exe file). There is no standard location for this file but our documentation recommends that these files be created in a subfolder called "BA" in the folder where the Microsoft Dynamics NAV client is installed.
- Backup and delete all the contents of the folder that was identified in step 1.
- Copy all the contents of folder that is named "Business Analytics Configurator 4.0.0.31 (SQL Server 2008 Edition)" in the hotfix download into the, now empty, folder that was identified in step 1.
After you apply this hotfix, the value in the
MaxColSupport property is set to 5000 when you run the BA Configurator.
