Thanks for the article. Two caveats about using the eConnect Pre and Post stored procedures. 1. The Pre and Post stored procedure parameters can vary between Dynamics GP minor versions. So if you develop and test the proc on GP 2010 SP 3, it may cause errors if deployed in a GP 2010 SP 1 environment due to a different number of parameters. The safest way to deploy is to script the Pre or Post procedure from the client's server first, and then copy your procedure code into that script. 2. Related to the above, the Pre and Post stored procedures are removed and recreated during GP upgrades. So make sure to have backups of the procedure scripts, and after an upgrade, review all of the parameters of the new procedure, comparing them to the old procedure, before re-deploying the procs. Invariably, this is forgotten, the custom pre and post scripts are removed, and clients wonder why certain eConnect data have problems after an upgrade.
