  • 1.  Is there a way to tell what integrations will need to be installed during upgrade?

    Posted 10-21-2024 21:03

    Is there a file ( or files ) that you can look in during an upgrade that would show which 3rd party integrations must be re-installed before Sage 100 data can be converted after migration? 

    Here's an example of the error that you receive when an 3rd party solution needs to be reinstalled. It'd be nice to have a handy way of knowing which of these integrations must be reinstalled in order to convert without having to walk through migration and then attempt data conversion ( which is what issues the notice below ).

    Is there a Sage data file ( or files ) that would display the names of the integrations that require reinstallation before data can be converted?

    As a rule of thumb, I reinstall everything on the Installed Module listing.  At a bare minimum you need to install Module based enhancements before the migration, but I usually do everything before and after.

    This applies to system migration only.  If you later redo company migration without the system you don't need to reinstall.

    @Wayne Schulz, that sounds like maybe a different issue, because one or more screens that appear during the Migration inform of the products that may need to be re-installed.  Did the Migration not mention In-Synch?  I typically proceed with re-installation tasks just based on my current knowledge and experience, otherwise I ping the vendor ahead of time.  I certainly agree with @Kevin Moyes about using the IML as a guide, keeping in mind if any unowned 3rd Party are still listed and/or a product is not listed at all.

    Totally removing Sage 100 third-party integrations can be difficult, you are likely to run into customers who have old unused enhancements still showing on installed application listing. Those enhancements have long stopped being used which makes obtaining an update for migration purposes difficult. And in most cases the customer doesn't want the unused enhancements brought over and to show on their installed applications. And there are third-party vendors who appear to leave the Sage ecosystem ( quiet quitting ) where their enhancement suddenly isn't available at the current level yet they prompt for reinstall. Which is why I think it would be easier to know up front which of the existing enhancements are going to need a reinstall after migration so that you can plan -- especially since the VAR is the "throat to choke" on these technology upgrades once the 3rd party is out of the picture....
