INTERNAL - How to re-synchronize Audit Trail codes in a Multilingual installation for Microsoft Dynamics GP

I upgraded one of my companies with the secondary code folder, so now my Audit Trail codes are not in sync between the company SY01000 table and the Dynamics..Messages table.  How do I re-synchronize the Audit trail codes for this company?

Error messages include::

"The audit trail code cannot be assigned. Information is incomplete or missing"

A get/change operation on table ‘SY_Transaction_Source_MSTR’ could not find a record. 

*Always make a backup of the company and Dynamics databases prior to making any changes. All changes should be tested when no users are in the system*

Use these steps to resynchronzie the Audit Trail Codes with the Primary code folder:

1. Clear the MESSAGES table in the DYNAMICS database:

DELETE DYNAMICS..MESSAGES

2. In the Dex.ini file in the Dynamics GP code folder for the secondary language code folder (ie. for ALL language code folders being used in the Multilingual environment), edit/add this switch:

Synchronize=TRUE

3. Launch into GP Utilities as ‘sa’ first with the Primary language code folder. An easy way to ensure you are launching into GP Utilities with a specific code folder is to simply drag and drop the DYNUTILS.SET file over the DynUtils.exe file within that specific code folder.

4. While in GP Utilities (accessed via the primary code folder), click on the ‘Launch Microsoft Dynamics GP’ button to launch into the company. This will synchronize the audit trail codes with the primary code folder.

5. Next, launch into GP Utilities via secondary language folder. (Be sure that SYNCHRONIZE = TRUE in the Dex.ini file) Again, a simple way to do this is to drag and drop the DYNUTILS.SET file over the DynUtils.exe file within that specific code folder:

6. While in GP Utilities (accessed via the secondary code folder), click on the ‘Launch Microsoft Dynamics GP’ button to launch into the company database(s). This will synch the audit trail codes in the MESSAGES table to those created when the company was installed with the primary code folder.

An effective way to verify the audit trails are synchronized between the primary and secondary code folders is to run the following SQL statement against the DYNAMICS database:

SELECT * FROM DYNAMICS..MESSAGES WHERE SQL_MSG LIKE '%GLT%'

 --------EXAMPLE--------------------------------------------

Dynamics ..Messages table show:

Language ID     MSGNUM    SQL_MSG    DEX_ROW_ID

0                       183               GLTHS          183

0                       184               GLTRX          184

1                       183               GLTHS          14905

1                       184               GLTRX          14906

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*For Payables Management, you would get either PMTRN or PMTRX.

In the example above:

• Language ID 0 = United States Install
• Language ID 1 = United Kingdom Install

Overall, the SQL_MSG’s should match across Language ID’s when the Multilingual environment has been set up correctly.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all secondary code folders.
