Sage 200 On Premise
Minimum supported specifications
These are the
minimum
specifications for each client and server machine in a Sage 200 On
Premise deployment. Users with large databases or high numbers of concurrent users will require higher specifications.
Due to the wide variation of companies that use Sage 200, it is not possible to give exact specifications for each system. Factors such as the concurrent number of users, size of the database and estimated growth should all be taken into consideration when sizing a server.
When tasks are processed, CPU and memory resources are used on both the client and the server.
Therefore, the specification of both machines will affect the overall performance of the system.

Sage 200 On Premise
General considerations
Before you install Sage 200,you must also consider the following: n
If you are upgrading, you must uninstall your previous version of Sage 200.
n
If you are installing Sage 200 on Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 or a server that also hosts other web based applications, such as Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Terminal
Services Gateway, you must run the
Sage 200 64bit Web Service config.bat (v6.4)
before installing Sage 200. This file can be found on the Sage 200 DVD or downloaded from the support area of the sage website.
n
If you are using Small Business Server 2011 as your Domain Controller, then new users including the Sage 200 Secured Services and Sage 200 Service users should be created using the SBS Create User Wizard and applying the users template.
See
Installing Sage 200 with other 64-bit web services on page 26 .
n
Sage 200 is designed to run in a domain based network environment. The only scenario where Sage is supported in a workgroup network environment is where all elements of Sage
200 are installed on a single server and accessed by clients on the local area network.
14

If you have an application that already uses the ports listed above you must manually install the Sage 200 pre-requisites first. Then you must install Sage 200 from a command line using the following parameters:
For example if
d:\
is your DVD drive and ports
11443
,and
11444
are you desired ports:
Msiexec.exe /i “d:\sage200.msi” SAGE200ADMINWEBSITEPORT=11443
SAGE200SELFSERVICEWEBSITEPORT=11444
Take care when assigning port numbers as many port numbers are already assigned to other
Windows services or applications.
The following table shows the names of the SSL Certificates bound to these ports:

:10443 (https) Sage 200 Application Services SSL Certificate_wixCert_1
:10444 (https) Sage 200 Self Service SSL Certificate_wixCert_1
15
Sage 200 On Premise n
The
Sage 200 Self Service
web site is only accessible from your internal network. This is because the SSL certificates used to secure these sites are based on the machine name and are not accessible externally. Additional configuration is required to make the site accessible externally.
For more information, see
Install Sage 200 Self Service on an external facing web server on page 58 .
n
Sage 200 CRM
is installed to the default website. This is not configurable. By default, the website is published using
http
and this is not a secure connection. Additional configuration is required to use CRM over a secure external connection.

Database configuration and maintenance on page 41
Note:
Sage 200 2013 contained changes in the way that SQL logins are maintained.
If you want to continue to use an older version of Sage 200, you should use separate instances of
SQL for each version of Sage 200 that you deploy.
17
Sage 200 On Premise
Sizing your system
A typical deployment of Sage 200 consists of all elements residing on the same server, which also hosts the SQL server instance.
For larger sites with higher user counts and larger transaction volumes this deployment model is not always suitable and may not offer the best performance.
The following diagram shows four different sized deployments of Sage 200 and gives some suggested ‘ball park’ figures for sites that may fit into these scenarios. Due to the diverse nature of businesses that use Sage 200, it is impossible to give exact recommended specifications for each scenario but these figures are based on data gathered from sites already successfully running Sage
200.
18
3 | Deploying Sage 200 across a network
Small deployments
Recommended for sites: n
4 to 12 concurrent users n
Database sizes less than 2GB.
n
Not running Sage 200 CRM or Business Intelligence
Recommended Specifications
Dual core processor
4GB RAM
Notes
The operating system will use one core with Sage 200 and Microsoft
SQL Server sharing the other core.
No configuration around setting processor affinity is required and in practice the operating system, SQL and Sage 200 will share the cores, along with other running applications, but a dual core system should give users acceptable performance.
n
2GB for the operating system, n
1GB for SQL n
1GB for Sage 200.
No configuration around setting memory allocation is required and the operating system, SQL and Sage 200 will share the available memory, along with other running applications.
A minimum of 4GB server memory should give users acceptable performance in this scenario.
7.2K RPM SATA Disk Should be sufficient for databases less than 2GB.

As Sage 200 CRM is a browser based module that can require high levels of server CPU when synchronising data or processing multiple user requests at the same time. The server should have a minimum of a dual core processor but as user count and data size increases towards the top end of this bracket, a quad core processor may be preferable n
2GB for the operating system, n
1GB for SQL n
1GB for Sage 200.
n
For BI: 1GB for each data warehouse / analysis services cube.
Sage 200 Business Intelligence uses Microsoft SQL Server Analysis
Services which can be a very memory intensive process. For each data warehouse and analysis services cube created, we recommend allocating at least 1GB Ram
In a RAID configuration to allow for failover.
Sage 200 CRM and Sage 200 BI will benefit from additional memory and faster access disks
Medium Deployments
Recommended for sites: n
12 to 25 concurrent users n
Database sizes less than 10GB.
Where sites have more than 20 concurrent users accessing Sage 200 CRM with similar levels of users accessing Sage 200 Accounts at the same time, it is recommended to split out Sage 200
CRM onto a second server to improve performance.

Recommended specifications for client machines
In addition to calculating the system requirements for the servers running the Sage 200 Suite, you must also consider the client machines that will be running Sage 200. The application footprint on each of the Sage 200 client machines can be large.
Processing of tasks is carried out using CPU and memory resources on both the client and the server, and the specification of both machines will affect the overall performance of the system. The following table gives an example of this.
Profile Running Year End with 1 million Nominal Transactions
Server A / Client A 3 hrs 24
Server A / Client B 5 hrs 07
Server B / Client B 8 hrs 11
The server and client specifications were as follows;
Server A = 2 x Quad Core 2.4GHz Xeon, 8GB Ram, 15K SAS Disks, Gigabit Network
Server B = 1 x Dual Core 2.6GHz, 4GB Ram, 7.5K SATA Disk, Gigabit Network
Client A = 1 x Dual Core 2.6GHz, 4GB Ram, 7.5K SATA Disk, Gigabit Network
Client B = 1 x Single Core 2.8GHz, 2GB Ram, 7.5K SATA Disk, Gigabit Network
Client machines used to run long batch processes such as Update Waiting Postings and Month and
Year End processing should be dual core processor machines with 4GB Ram.

Sizing your database
The Sage 200 database size will depend on a number of factors, not just the number of transactions included within the database. The following examples can be used to estimate a rough minimum expected database size given a specific number of records but be aware that with SQL database padding this size can increase 10 fold. Use these examples to calculate minimum disk requirements only.
The following record sizes are calculated using Sage 200 demonstration data for 8 financial years.
Record Type
Sales Ledger Record
Purchase Ledger Record
Nominal Ledger Record
Stock Record 4K
SOP Order (based on 4 item lines) 44K
POP Order (based on 4 item lines) 47K
Record Size (in KB)

This gives an estimated database size of 1.4GB. The actual size of the database used in this example was 1.2GB. The difference was made up of a variety of factors, such as not all records were fully populated, not all orders had 4 item lines etc.
For further guidance, the following table gives record numbers and associated database sizes for real Sage 200 databases. As you will see, some fit the calculation but some, such as the 6GB and
10GB database examples, are considerably larger than would be expected. This is largely due to database padding and you should allow at least 2 or 3 times more disk space than the minimum calculated to allow for padding and future growth.

Installing Sage 200 on Microsoft Small Business
Server 2011
If you intend to install Sage 200 on Microsoft Small Business Server 2011, you must consider the number of other services running on the server. Any installation of Sage 200 should be restricted to low user counts (6 – 8 users) and to small to medium size databases (~2GB). This is to make sure that performance is acceptable. To increase performance and for higher user counts and database sizes, use a separate server joined to the same domain.

Installation options for virtualised platforms
All elements of Sage 200 are supported in a virtualised environment if the following conditions are met: n
The underlying virtualisation platform has been accredited by the Microsoft Windows Server
Virtualisation Program. See http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/svvp.aspx
for further details.
n
The host operating system is one of the supported operating systems outlined in the system requirements. See
Supported operating systems on page 4 .
Sage 200 is also supported when running in a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualised environment which is running one of the supported operating systems outlined in the System Requirements.
You must ensure that the server hosting the virtual machines is of sufficient specification to run both the underlying operating system, and the virtual machine that Sage 200 is running on.
Client hosted virtualisation
Sage 200 clients are supported when running in a client hosted virtualised environment, provided that the virtualised environment is running a supported version of Windows. For example: n
Sage 200 Client running in a Windows 7 VM hosted on Mac OS.
n
Sage 200 Client running in a Windows 8.1 VM hosted on Linux.
Due to the large number of virtualisation platforms it is not practical or feasible for Sage to test them all. If you encounter issues while running client software in a client hosted virtualised environment, you may be required to reproduce the issues in a standard (non-virtualised) environment. Refer to the Products and Services Terms and Conditions here: http://www.sage.co.uk/legal/termsconditions/product-services-terms.html
.
Hosting
Sage 200 is only supported in a hosted environment where the entire solution is hosted and users connect to the system via a Microsoft Terminal Services, Remote Desktop Services or Citrix connection.
Sites considering a hosted solution may wish to consider Sage 200 Online as an alternative method of deployment.
31
Sage 200 On Premise
Installing Sage 200 using Citrix or Terminal
Services
Sage 200 is designed around a ‘rich-client’ architecture that is best suited to deployment over a local area network. Sage 200 is supported in a Microsoft Terminal Services, Microsoft Remote Desktop
Services and Citrix Presentation Server environment with the following considerations: n
As Sage 200 is best suited to deployment on a local area network, where possible, we recommend that you run large batch processes, such as
Update Waiting Postings
, on a high specification client joined to the local area network.
If the entire solution is hosted remotely, large batch process tasks should be run ‘out of hours’ when more bandwidth and server resources are available. Alternatively, you may want to consider deploying Sage 200 Online.
n
For Terminal servers, Remote Desktop Services or Citrix servers hosting Sage 200 client sessions, you must allow: l
At least 600MB memory per user on the Citrix/Terminal Server, for each client session running occasional or one-off tasks, such as an account enquiry or price check.
l
At least 1GB memory for each client session processing for any prolonged period of time, for tasks such as checking in stock, or creating purchase orders.
l
You should run large batch processes and updates on the local area network, or out of hours.
l
For Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2, the application must be deployed using
'Session based desktop deployment' with a published remote desktop. 'Virtual machine based desktop deployment' is not supported.
l
If you are using form launching for Sage 200 CRM, the Task Launcher Service: o
Needs to be enabled and set to start 'Automatically'.
o
Must be set to run in multi-user mode for each user.
o with Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 you must enable the .NET 3.5 and
.NET
Extensibility 3.5
features in IIS.
For information on setting up the Task Launcher Service, see
Set up Form Launching on page 178 .
n
We do
not
support running Sage 200 over Citrix or Terminal Services on Microsoft Small

Install Sage 200 CRM on multiple servers
If you're running a Sage 200 site with a large implementation of Sage 200 CRM, you may want to consider enabling the load balancing features of the application. This allows you to balance user sessions over multiple servers.
Sage 200 CRM can be implemented in a distributed environment, where a single Sage 200 CRM database is accessible through multiple web servers. The main benefit of the multi-server CRM solution is to provide efficient session balancing for sites with high numbers of concurrent CRM users. The balancing can be performed by Sage 200 CRM or by a dedicated load balancing application.
Prerequisites
n
Decide which server you want to act as your primary Sage 200 CRM web server.
Note:
If you are hosting Sage 200 CRM externally, this will need to be the web server with your externally accessible IP address. This server will act as the initial entry point for all Sage 200 CRM connections.
n
A valid license that includes Multi-server Sage 200 CRM. The same Sage 200 CRM license key can be used on all of the Sage 200 CRM servers.
Installing multi server CRM
To install Sage 200 CRM across several servers:
1. Install the Sage 200 CRM Server on the server that acts as your primary Sage 200 CRM web server.
a. Follow the installation instructions as you would for a typical Sage 200 CRM installation.
b. Make a note of the installation name you specify in the
Installation name
field. This name is required when you are installing the other servers in the multi-server Sage 200
CRM environment.
c. Specify a separate SQL server to host the Sage 200 CRM database. If you are hosting Sage 200 CRM externally, this SQL server should be behind a firewall.
34
3 | Deploying Sage 200 across a network
2. Install the CRM server on your other web servers.
a. Follow the installation instructions as you would for a typical Sage 200 CRM installation.
b. Make sure that the name you enter in the
Installation name
field is the installation name you specified during the original Sage 200 CRM installation.
c. Change the name in the
Database Server
field to the server on which the Sage 200
CRM database was previously installed .
d. When you see the follwing message
The database already exists for the Multi-
Server install. If you wish setup can reinstall the database
, click
No
.
Continue with the installation e. Install all of the other web servers in the same way.
Configure your servers
Database configuration settings are set up automatically when you install multi-server Sage 200
CRM.
1. Log into Sage 200 CRM as an administration user.
2. Open
Administration > System > Database
.
3. Select
Change
.
Check your settings are as follows:
CRM Server
Names

DTLS Server
Name
The names of all the Sage 200 CRM Web Servers separated by semi colons
Set this to

to make sure load balancing is performed by Sage 200
CRM.
If you want to use a specialized application to perform the load balancing, set this to
False
.
Delayed Table Level Script server name.
This is the server that you want all Table Level Scripts performed on.
When all the servers are set up, the
Default database
is the same on each of the web servers.
How changes are made
Sage 200 CRM is set up on multiple servers, any changes you make on any Sage 200 CRM server are reflected on all of the other Sage 200 CRM servers in the cluster. Metadata is refreshed on all the servers if any customization is carried out.
How load balancing works
When a user logs onto Sage 200 CRM:
35
Sage 200 On Premise
1. The list of all available servers is obtained from the
custom_sysparams
table.
2. The number of users logged onto each server is calculated.
3. The CRM Logon page for the server with the lowest number of logged on users is loaded.
4. Once logged on, the name of the server can be seen in the URL.
Load Balancing Example
The following example shows happens when four users log onto Sage 200 CRM.
In this example: n
Load balancing has been configured with a cluster of three web servers, with Web Server 1 acts as the primary web server and is externally accessible.
n
The URL for Sage 200 CRM is the same for all four clients, and points to Web Server 1.
n
The Sage 200 CRM database resides on a separate SQL server, behind a firewall.
n
All web servers can access the SQL server.
1. User 1 logs on. None of the web servers currently have any logged in users. Because the load is equal amongst the servers, Web Server 1 processes the request and User 1 is logged onto the CRM Database.
36
3 | Deploying Sage 200 across a network
2. User 2 logs on. Web Server 1 already has one active connection so it balances the load by passing the request to Web Server 2. User 2 is logged onto the CRM Database with a URL pointing to Web Server 2.
3. User 3 logs. Web Servers 1 and 2 already have 1 active connection each, so Web Server 1 passes the request to Web Server 3 to balance the load. User 3 is logged onto the CRM
Database with a URL pointing to Web Server 3.
4. User 4 logs on. All web servers have 1 active connection each so the request is handled by
Web Server 1 and User 4 is logged onto the CRM Database.
Tip:
Make sure your users close their browsers once they have logged out of Sage 200 CRM.
This is to ensure accurate load balancing. When a user does not close their browser window after logging out, they will be logged back into the same server the next time they log in and this can result in unbalanced servers.
37
Sage 200 On Premise
Security and firewall settings
Sage 200 uses a combination of Windows security and SSL certificates to secure communications between the Sage 200 server and client machines.
Windows File Permissions
Domain
When deployed in an Active Directory Domain environment the central Sage file share (e.g. c:\Sage) and associated files and subdirectories have their permissions set to restrict access to specific
Sage 200 user and admin groups.
Workgroup
When deployed in a Windows workgroup environment the central Sage file share (e.g. c:\Sage) and associated files and subdirectories have their permissions set to Everyone | FullControl. We recommend that you set the Share and Security permissions as follows: n
Set the Share permissions to
FullControl/Change/Read
for these users: n
Sage 200 Administrators group n
Sage 200 Users group n
Sage 200 Services user n
Sage 200 Secured Services user n
Set the Folder Security to
Modify/Read&Execute/ListFolderContents/Read/Write
for these users: n
Sage 200 Administrators group n
Sage 200 Users group n
Sage 200 Secured Services user
Note:
Once you have installed Sage 200, restart the machine before you access System
Administration . This is so the security permissions are set correctly.
Required Firewall Settings
Sage 200 runs a variety of programs and services that can be affected by security firewall settings.

Database configuration and maintenance
Once you have sized your system, you can start looking at optimising access to the database to ensure maximum performance. For smaller databases this is not so essential but as the database increases in size, especially once it starts getting over 4GB, real performance improvements can be obtained by having appropriate database configuration and maintenance plans in place.
Setting up a Database Maintenance Plan
We strongly recommended that you set up a database maintenance plan as part of your Sage 200 deployment. You should include both the Sage 200 and CRM databases in the maintenance plan.
For detailed information on setting up the tasks and plan for SQL Server please refer to the manufacturer’s web site but we recommend the following:
To set up a new database maintenance plan for Microsoft SQL Server
1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance of SQL that hosts your Sage 200 and CRM databases.
2. Right click
Management > Maintenance Plans
and select
Maintenance Plan Wizard
.
3. Follow the steps in the wizard until all the tasks have been defined. We recommend that you include the following: n
Check Database Integrity
– We recommend that you run this nightly for both the
Sage 200 and CRM databases.
n
Shrink Database
– Avoid this option for large or rapidly growing databases. see the following section on
for further advice on database size.
n
Reorganize Index
– We recommend that you run this nightly for both Sage 200 and
CRM databases.
n
Rebuild Index
– We recommend that you run this weekly for both Sage 200 and
CRM databases.
n
Update Statistics
– We recommend that you run this nightly for both Sage 200 and
CRM databases.
You should only run maintenance plans ‘out of hours’ when no users are on the system. We recommend that you run the plan once initially to ensure the plan completes successfully and then schedule the tasks to run automatically overnight.
Before any maintenance tasks can be run, check that the SQL Server Agent is running.
Disk Management
If you have a large Sage 200 Suite deployment, the databases for Sage 200 and Sage 200 CRM can grow rapidly as large numbers of transactions are recorded. Rather than letting SQL Server adjust the size of your database as it grows, we recommend that you pre-empt this growth manually by
41
Sage 200 On Premise disabling the
Auto Shrink
and
Auto Grow
options within SQL Management Studio and manually padding the database to accommodate future growth.
To Disable Auto Shrink
1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance of SQL that hosts your Sage 200 and CRM databases.
2. Right click
Databases > <
Sage 200 database name>
, and select
Properties
.
3. Choose the
Options
page.
4. Set
Auto Shrink
to
False
.
5. Repeat for your Sage 200 CRM database.
To manually grow your database
1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance of SQL that hosts your Sage 200 ERP and CRM databases.
2. Right click
Databases > <
Sage 200 database name>
, and select
Properties
.
3. Choose the
Files
page.
4. For both the MDF and LDF files, click the browse button in the
Autogrowth
column.
5. Set the
File Growth > In Megabytes
value to an amount of disk space that will allow for plenty of growth.
For example, if your current database is 2GB, you could set this value to 6GB. Increasing this value does not increase the size of your SQL backups.
6. Repeat for your Sage 200 CRM database.
Other Disk Management Tips
n
Separating the operating system and database onto their own separate drives is best practice for large databases to make sure that Windows and system disk don't compete with SQL IO requests.
n
Make sure that the space you’re allocating to the MDF/LDF files is largely contiguous and kept defragmented.
n
The Sage 200 database must remain synchronisied with the Sage 200 CRM and Sage 200 BI warehouse and analysis services databases.
Make sure you backup or restore Sage 200 CRM and the Sage 200 BI warehouse and analysis services databases at the same time as your Sage 200 database.
Database management for Sage 200 Business Intelligence
For Sage 200 BI, if you need to recover to a specific point in time (i.e. just before the disaster happened) and wish to avoid hard disk space issues, we recommend that you:
1. Set up a disaster recovery model.
2. Reduce the size of the log file.
42
3 | Deploying Sage 200 across a network
This is because the data warehouse’s database log file grows when the data warehouse is upgraded and cubes refreshed using the Sage200 BI Admin tool. This growth is usually proportional to the number of record updates performed on the data warehouse.
If you have a relatively large Sage 200 database, the data warehouse’s log file will grow significantly every time the data warehouse is updated.This can lead to disk space problems on the database server fairly quickly for large datasets, and over a longer period of time for smaller datasets.
However the log file contains information about all the changes made to the data warehouse required for the database administrator to perform any required disaster recovery procedures.
Set up a disaster recovery mode
The disaster recovery mode that you choose for the data warehouse database depends on how you use BI.
When 'As At' cubes are updated, data is pulled down from Sage 200 to provide a typical snap shot of your data for a specific point in time. The recovery mode that you choose depends on whether you need to recover your data this specific point in time or whether the accuracy of the as 'as at' data is not crucial, i.e. the snap shot is out by one day.
You can choose one of the following modes: n
Full - choose this to recover data to a specific point in time.
This uses full, differential and transaction log backups to provide the best protection against failure. It allows the database to be restored to the point of failure or to a specific point in time.
n
Simple - choose this if the accuracy of the “as at” status of the BI reports is of low importance.
This recovers data to the most recent successful full database or differential backup. The underlying transaction logs are truncated each time a checkpoint is issued for the database.
This mode restricts the database log file growth.
To set the data recovery mode
1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance of SQL that hosts the Sage 200 BI databases.
2. Right click
Databases > (data warehouse database name)
, and select
Properties
.
3. Choose the
Options
page.
4. Select the required
Recovery model
.
Reduce the database size
1. Set the data warehouse database to “restricted user” mode.
This prevents new connections being made to the database for users who do not have appropriate roles assigned.
43
Sage 200 On Premise
This will be blocked until users are already connected to the database have close their connection. This ensures that no transactions are rolled back unexpectedly (i.e. a user in the middle of updating the warehouse).
Follow the steps below or run the following SQL script:
[ALTER DATABASE database-name SET RESTRICTED_USER]
.
a. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance of SQL that hosts the Sage 200 BI databases.
b. Right click
Databases >
<data warehouse database name>
)
, and select
Properties
.
c. Choose the
Options
page.
d. In the
Other options > State
section, set
Restrict Access
to
RESTRICTED_
USER
.
2. Backup the transaction log and database.
a. Right -click the data warehouse database and select
Tasks > Backup
b. Make a
Full
backup if you don't already have one, otherwise skip to the next step.
c. Run the SQL command [checkpoint] against the data warehouse database. This flushes the contents of the transaction log into the main database files.
d. Make a
Transaction Log
backup. Make sure that
Truncate the transaction log
is selected on the
Options
page. This is only be available if your database is in
Full
Recovery
or
Bulk Logged
mode.
e. Make a
Full
backup of the database.
3. Shrink the database.
a. Right -click the data warehouse and select
Tasks > Shrink > Database
.
b. Verify that the database log file is now reduced in size.
4. Remove the
Restricted user
set in step 1 by either reversing the steps or by running the following SQL script:
[ALTER DATABASE DATABASE-NAME SET MULTI_
USER]
.

If you are experiencing intermittent delays starting the Sage 200 application then reducing the timeout period could help. To reduce the timeout period:
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you take a backup copy of any config file before making any changes.
1. Ensure all Sage 200 users are logged out. Then:
Open:
c:\inetpub\Sage 200 App
Services\Sage200SecuredServices\web.config.

Sage 200 On Premise
Using BI with Microsoft SQL Server v2012
If you want to use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 you must configure your SQL Server in the following ways:
1. We recommend that you use the default accounts set up by the SQL server installation wizard. (In previous editions of Microsoft SQL Server, we recommended running SQL Server as Local System Accounts.)
2. The
SQL service start-up
account for SQL Server Analysis Services, created as part of the
SQL 2012 setup wizard (the NT Services\MSSQLServerOLAPService user in the above example), is not set up as an SQL login on the database instance. A manual setup is required.
To create the SQL Login and assign the correct admin privileges: a. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager.
b. Select
SQL Server Services
for the instance you are installing to.
c. Right click
SQL Server Analysis Services
and select
Properties
.
Make a note of the
Account Name
.
d. Close the
Analysis Services Properties
and
SQL Server
Configuration manager
.
e. Open
SQL Server Management Studio
. Connect to the database instance which will host the data warehouse.
f. Navigate to the
Security > Logins
area.
g. Right click
Logins
and select
New Login
.
h. Make sure
Windows Authentication
is selected and choose
Search
next to
Login Name
.
i. Enter the account name noted in Step c.

start-up
user account of the SQL
Analysis Services in SQL server login to the minimum required level.
The minimum required permissions to access the BI Admin Tool are: l
A domain user, as long as they are an administrator in Analysis Services (see
Microsoft SQL Server security settings).
l
A member of the Sage 200 Administrator's group, with access to the relevant Sage
200 company in System Administration.
l
A domain user that has a 'dbcreator' SQL server role assigned (needed for creating a new data warehouse).
To set the minimum required permissions for the SQL Analysis Services
start-up
user account in SQL server: a. Open
SQL Server Management Studio
and connect to the database instance which hosts your data warehouse(s).
b. Navigate to the
Security > Logins
area.

Configure Microsoft Excel to use the Sage
Business Intelligence add -in
You must enable the Sage BI Excel Add-in to use it with Microsoft Excel.
The BI reports use macros. If your Microsoft Excel security settings are set too high, some of these macros will not run and you will see a warning on the report. To make sure the macros run without a warning, we recommend that you set up a trusted location for your BI reports in Excel.
If you do change your Microsoft Excel security settings, potentially unsafe macros may run when you open other workbooks created outside BI. Therefore we recommend that when you use
Microsoft Excel without BI, you disable the Sage BI add-in. This resets the Microsoft Excel security settings and Excel will start more quickly.
To enable the Sage BI Excel add-in for Sage 200
1. Choose
Start > Sage Tools > Sage 200 > Enable or Disable Sage BI
.
l
To use Microsoft Excel with Sage BI, select

Sage 200 On Premise
Set up the BI Administration tool
Before you start Sage 200 BI for the first time, you must use the Sage 200 BI Administration tool to build the cubes required for each Sage 200 company.
A cube holds every different available view point that can be used to analyse data. This means you can quickly and easily change the values displayed on a report.
To set up the Business Intelligence Administration tool, you must: n
Apply your report settings. This sets up the way Sage 200 BI works.
n
Build your cubes.
Note:
You must be a member of the Sage 200 Administrators group to access the BI
Administration tool.
Set up windows users for the BI Admin tool
You must install and use the BI Administration tool on the Sage 200 Server to create and maintain your BI cubes. The BI cubes data is refreshed regularly. This data refresh is performed by Windows
Scheduled Tasks.
Required permissions to access the BI Admin Tool
Sage 200 BI uses your Windows user account details to access the BI Administration tool. To access the BI Administration tool, your windows user account must be: n
A domain user as long as they are an administrator in Analysis Services (see
), n
A member of the Sage 200 Administrators group.
n
Have access to the relevant Sage 200 company in System Administration.
n
A domain user that has 'dbcreator' level permissions in SQL Server.
Create a Windows user account for the scheduled task
You must specify a windows user account that will run the scheduled task for BI to update the cubes.
We recommend that you create a windows user account specifically for this task. The user specified to run the Windows Scheduled Task must: n
Have a secure password that never expires.
We recommend that you keep a note of the password for this account until you have set up the BI Administration tool and the scheduled task is running successfully.
92
7 | Set up Sage 200 Business Intelligence n
Have the following privileges: l

l
Be an administrator in Analysis Services.
l
Be a user in SQL Server with sysadmin access.
Note:
If this user does not appear in the user list in the BI Admin tool, we recommend that you create a new user in Active Directory. This is due to the Windows user not having a
User
Principle Name
. A User Principle Name is a part of the Active Directory user information. This information is sometimes missing on older user accounts, especially if they have been migrated from an older version of Active Directory and the domain administrator account.
As the BI data is generally refreshed overnight it is important the Sage 200 application server is powered on overnight so the Windows Scheduled Tasks can run.

Set up BI in Sage 200
1. On the Sage 200 Navigation Bar, click
Business Intelligence
. The Sage 200 BI report folders appear at the top of the Navigation Bar.
2. Double-click on a report to open it in Microsoft Excel.
Set up Project reports
You can set up Sage 200 Project Accounting to use terminology that is familiar to your business, such as
Job
rather than
Project
.
Business Intelligence automatically uses these configurable terms when you create or update the
Project Accounting cubes. This is to make sure that your reports match the terms that have been set up in Sage 200.
However, the standard project reports in BI have been created using the default terminology from
Sage 200. Before using the standard project reports in BI, you must amend them to match the terminology you have set up in Sage 200.
To change the configurable terms
For each project report:
1. Open the report.
2. Select each item that has used a configurable term.
3. Re-select the item using the new term.
For example, if you have used
Job
as the label for your
Projects
, you must re-select
Job
for each incidence where
Project
is currently specified on the report.

Sage BI Admin tool takes a long time to open on a PC with no internet access
If you are running the Sage 200 BI Administration Tool on a machine that does not have internet access, it can take up to two minutes to open.
This occurs because the BI Admin tool needs to run with administrative credentials. In order to ensure a secure connection, the tool attempts to checks for revoked certificates online.
To speed up opening the Admin tool, it is possible to turn off this check.
Important
: This setting should only be changed on a PC that does not connect to the internet. If the
PC is later connected to the internet, the original setting must be restored.

Data not populating 'As At' date when creating a Data Warehouse
When the data warehouse is populated (either via a data warehouse update or a refresh), a
'snapshot' of that data is recorded and stored for the Sales Order and the Stock Level cubes.
If the date of the data extract is not in the financial year defined for Sage 200, the data warehouse will not be populated with Sage 200 data.
A message will be written to the data warehouse audit trail (in the AuditHeader and AuditDetail tables) to inform you that the update has failed.
BI Excel Add-in

You open a standard BI report from the Sage 200 menu bar and save a modified copy.
n
Next time, you open the modified report in Excel.
The company name and time information on the modified report will not be refreshed in the version displayed in Excel. The report will still show the company, date and time information from the previous time that the report was created.
Note:
The data in the report will be correct.
To avoid this problem, we recommend that you run your modified reports from the Sage 200 menubar.
103
Sage 200 On Premise
Profit & Loss and Balance Sheets layouts with the same name
If you have Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet layouts with the same name: n
You cannot refresh your data cubes.
n
These reports will show the same categories (i.e. they will show the same information).
To display the correct information, the default financial statement layouts in Sage 200 must have different names.
You set up this name in the
Report Settings >Nominal
tab.
The filters do not display on the report
This can occur if you have entered conflicting criteria for your filters using attributes from the same dimension. For example, you have a filter for both country code and country name on the same report. You select a country code and then select a different country name.

Whilst loading a new or customised report, BI will display the data that was current when the report was created or customised. This may not reflect the current accounts data.
Once the report has been fully loaded, this situation will be corrected and BI will display the most upto-date information.
Report layout screen appears by default
The Report Layout Screen may appear when a report is loaded. Close this screen if it is not needed.
This does not affect the data in the report.
Adding filters to reports

BI Reports
Can I run the same report in different companies?
You cannot do this if the companies have a different nominal ledger structure or different sales analysis codes. If you have selected a field, such as
Customer
, for one company and you then select a different company that does not have that field, the report will reset itself.
How do I send reports to non Sage 200 BI users?
You should:
1. Change the report type to
static
.
2. Save the report then send it to the user.
How do I change my report type?
There are two types of report: Dynamic and Static. All Sage 200 BI reports are dynamic - they consist of a range of formulas and styles. A static report has no formulas, styles or formatting.
However, you can apply Microsoft Excel styles and formats to a static report.
106
7 | Set up Sage 200 Business Intelligence
To change the report type to static
n
Right-click any cell in the report and choose
Report Type > Static
.
To change the report type to dynamic
n
Right-click the report title cell (the top left cell of the report) and choose
Report Type >
Dynamic
.
How do I save or change a report?
The Sage 200 BI standard reports are read-only. You can make changes to the reports and save them using the Microsoft Excel
Save As
command.
Note:
There is no guarantee that any customised reports will work with future versions of the software. This is because the structure of the cubes may change.
You must save an edited report with a unique name.
How do I add analysis codes to reports?
Report criteria appear at the top of the report underneath the report title and company name.
By default, analysis codes do not appear on standard reports as report criteria. You can, however, add them using the
Field List (to select from)
pane on the
Report Layout
panel.
n
To place the analysis codes on the report as report criteria, select the check box next to relevant code.

To add the codes to the report, click
Apply
.
Note:
For more information about the
Report Layout
panel, please refer to the Sage 200 BI help topic
Report Layout
.
How do I change from fixed to variable rows and columns?
A report can have variable or fixed rows and columns. When a report has variable rows and columns, the report is redrawn each time it is changed. When a report with fixed rows and columns is changed, the report is recalculated but not redrawn. Some of the standard reports have fixed rows and columns. You can change these to variable rows and columns as follows:
1. Open the
Report Layout Options
window.
l
If you are using Excel 2007: On the
Sage BI
tab, click the
File Group
window launcher.
2. On the
Report Layout Options
window, select the
General
tab.
3. Select
Variable Rows & Columns
.
Tip:
To expand or hide report row or column data, double-click on the headings and select
Allow drill down on Report
.
4. Click
OK
.
How do I change row and column referencing?
Usually, in a Microsoft Excel worksheet, rows are numbered from 1 upwards and columns are lettered from A upwards.
Some worksheets use the ‘R1C1’ method of cell referencing where both rows are numbered from 1 upwards.
108
7 | Set up Sage 200 Business Intelligence

Accessing Graphical Planner
Before you begin
Ensure that you have set up access paths in Sage 200 as follows:
Open: Sage 200 > Planning > Utilities > System Setup > Planning Settings |
Graphical Planner
.
l
Enter the
Path to Program
as the path used when installing Graphical Planner. For example,
C:\Program Files\Preactor International\Preactor 12.0\Preactor.exe
by default.
l
Enter the
Configuration
path. This should include the path and file name. If you have a single standalone user licence for Graphical Planner, this could be
Public
Documents\Preactor Configurations\Graphical Planner
. However, if you have a concurrent user licence (even the standard single concurrent user licence), enter a network share path for this. Then the configuration file will be accessible by multiple client computers.
Note:
These settings only apply to the computer that the instance of Graphical Planner is installed on. You should enter these settings on each machine that Graphical Planner is installed on. This is because Graphical Planner may be installed on different locations on different machines.
Tip:
If you are using a 32 bit PC and a 64 bit PC to access the same Graphical Planner data, the
Path to Program
will be different on the two PCs. You will not be able to save the planning settings until you do one of the following: n
Create the Preactor.exe file in the different directory.
n
Re-install Graphical Planner on the 32 bit PC into the program files (x86) path and create the directory there.
You can access Graphical Planner in the following ways from within Manufacturing: n
Works Orders > Graphical Planner
.
n
Planning > MRP > Processing > Graphical Planner
.
You can access Graphical Planner from outside Manufacturing:
Open: Start > Programs > Preactor International > Preactor 12.0 > Preactor 12.0
.
l
Select the correct .prcdf from the
Preactor Configuration Selector
window.
In almost all cases, this will be

If you want to run Graphical Planner across a network using a Network license, you must install the
Network License Manager
on the server. Using a Network licence for Graphical Planner makes it easier to add additional Graphical Planner users.
The
Network License Manager
installation file is in the directory containing the Graphical Planner installation files. If you selected the default path when installing Sage 200, this is

To upgrade Report Designer from v2011 and below
Sage 200 v2013 included a new version of Report Designer.
All standard reports, layouts,letters and labels in the new Report Designer have a different file extension: .report, .layout, .letter or .label.
133
Sage 200 On Premise
If you have created your own reports, layouts, letters or labels in Report Designer, prior to Sage 200 v2010, these will have a .srt, .sly, .slt or .slb file extension. These files cannot be opened using the new Report Designer.
You must convert these files to the new file types before upgrading.
To do this, convert your reports and documents using the
File > Import
option in the new Report
Designer or use the Legacy Report conversion tool. This is included as part of the BP tools and can be downloaded from the support area of the Sage website .
Upgrading reports and documents
From Sage 200 2013 reports and documents are also stored in a new location on your server;
Sage\Reporting
. Within this folder, reports and documents are also stored in three location levels: n
Sage\reporting\default
for the default reports and documents supplied with Sage 200.
n
Sage\reporting\custom
for reports and documents you have customised.
n
Sage\reporting\company\<company name>
for reports and documents that you have customised for a specific company.
n
Note:
For company reports and documents you must create the required folders first.
When a report is run from Sage 200, the company specific reports and documents are checked first, then the custom reports and documents and finally the default reports and documents. The first report located is then used.
Once you have edited or created a report or document, you must save it to a custom or company folder using the same folder structure and the same name as the default report or document.
When you upgrade from a previous version of Sage 200, all the default Sage 200 reports, documents, letters etc are added to the
Sage\reporting\default
folder and sub folders.
If you have reports and documents that you have previously customised, you must move these reports and documents to the required folder using the new folder structure.
For more information see the Sage 200 Help .
To upgrade BI from v2010 and above
Use the instructions here to upgrade BI for v2009 and above. To upgrade BI from v5.1, see
Upgrade from Sage 200 v5.1(all modules) on page 141
.
To upgrade BI
1. Make sure the Windows user accounts for users that will access the BI Administration tool are:
134
9 | Upgrading Sage 200 n
A domain user as long as they are an administrator in Analysis Services (see
Microsoft SQL Server security settings ),
n
A member of the Sage 200 Administrators group.
n
Have access to the relevant Sage 200 company in System Administration.
n
A domain user that has 'dbcreator' level permissions in SQL Server.
2. Create a windows user account for the scheduled task that updates the BI cubes.
You must specify a windows user account that will run the scheduled task for BI to update the cubes. In previous versions you could use the Local System account, this is not possible for 2015.
We recommend that you create a windows user account specifically for this task. The user specified to run the Windows Scheduled Task must: l
Have a secure password that never expires.
We recommend that you keep a note of the password for this account until you have set up the BI Administration tool and the scheduled task is running successfully.
l
Have the following privileges: o
Be a member of the Sage 200 Administrators group.
o
Have access to the relevant Sage 200 company.
o
Be a local administrator on the Sage 200 server.
o
Be an administrator in Analysis Services.
o
Be a user in SQL Server with sysadmin access.
Note:
If this user does not appear in the user list in the BI Admin tool, we recommend that you create a new user in Active Directory. This is due to the Windows user not having a
User Principle Name
. A User Principle Name is a part of the Active Directory user information. This information is sometimes missing on older user accounts, especially if they have been migrated from an older version of Active Directory and the domain administrator account.
3. Back up all Sage 200 databases (including data warehouses and analysis services databases).
4. Uninstall Sage 200.
5. Choose to install the Sage 200 BI components when you install Sage 200 2015.
For information about installing Sage 200, see
Install Sage 200 on your server on page 50
.
6. Make sure the scheduled task is on the Sage 200 Server machine. Each company that uses
BI must have a separate scheduled task.
In previous versions, the scheduled task could be installed on a separate machine with SQL
Server. See
Configure the scheduled task on page 96 .
135
Sage 200 On Premise
7. Change the user account used to run the scheduled task to the windows user account that you have created: a. Open the Sage 200 Business Intelligence Administration Tool.
b.
Schedule tasks
. The
Task Scheduler
appears.
b. From the left-hand pane, select

.
d. Select the Windows user account that you have created for the scheduled task.
e. Make any other required changes to the task and click
OK
.
8. Upgrade your Sage 200 databases for all companies that also use BI, using the Sage 200
System Administration tool.
Note:
You
must
upgrade your Sage 200 databases to 2015 before you upgrade your BI data warehouse.
9. Upgrade the data warehouse: a. Open the Sage 200 Business Intelligence Administration Tool.
b. Select
Upgrade warehouse
for each Sage 200 company that uses BI.
136
9 | Upgrading Sage 200
Project Accounting Reports
You can set up Sage 200 Project Accounting to use terminology that is familiar to your business, such as
Job
rather than
Project
.
Business Intelligence automatically uses these configurable terms when you create or update the
Project Accounting cubes. This is to make sure that your reports match the terms that have been set up in Sage 200.
However, the standard project reports in BI have been created using the default terminology from
Sage 200. Before using the standard project reports in BI, you must amend them to match the terminology you have set up in Sage 200.
To change the configurable terms
For each project report:
1. Open the report.
2. Select each item that has used a configurable term.
3. Re-select the item using the new term.
For example, if you have used
Job
as the label for your
Projects
, you must re-select
Job
for each incidence where
Project
is currently specified on the report.
Aged Debt and Aged Credit Cubes v2010 and prior
In v2010 and before, the
Aged Debt
and
Aged Credit
cubes only contained information about invoices.
In the newer versions of BI, these cubes have been updated to include all transactions. In previous versions of Sage 200, when you added the
Value
on your aged debt and aged credit BI reports, you could only choose to use the
Outstanding Value
or
Invoice Value
.
In current versions, the
Invoice Value
has been changed to
Transaction Value
. This is because this now includes the value of credit notes, receipts and payments as well as invoices.
If you have existing BI reports that use the
Invoice Value
, you must amend these reports after you have upgraded to Sage 200 2015.
1. Open the BI report.
2. If
Invoice Value
is used as criteria on the report, re-select
Transaction Value
.
3. If
Invoice Value
has been used on the rows or columns, open the
Report Layout
.
4. Select
Value
on the
Columns
or
Rows
, where applicable.
5. Select
Transaction Value
.
6. Click
Apply

To upgrade Manufacturing from v5.1
If you are using Sage 200 Bill of Materials, you must use the Sage 200 Data Migration tool to upgrade to Sage 200 v2013.
Important: If you are using Bill of Materials with Manufacturing
Manufacturing is being extensively redeveloped and this process is not yet complete.
Consequently, some of the information that you can enter and use in the Bill of Materials module now, cannot be used yet in the Estimating, Planning and Works Orders modules.
If you are using, or plan to use all Manufacturing modules, you must follow these guidelines for operations that you add to the BOM record.
Note:
If the BOM record has been created by converting a one-off works order into a BOM, an operation resource is added to the BOM record automatically. Do not rename this operation. If you do, you will not be able to update information between the BOM and the Works Order.

. Graphical Planner will allow you to move operations that use any resource in group
Missing
to any other resource in the same group.
Upgrade Graphical Planner
Sage 200 2015 uses Graphical Planner version 12.0 SP1.
You must enter a new 30 day licence key for your existing version of Graphical Planner, before you upgrade to version 12.0 SP1.
1. Request a licence for version 12.0 SP1 of Graphical Planner. To do this, please complete the licence request form located on Sage.co.uk.
See
Register as an end user on page 118
.
2. Open your existing License Manager and request a licence update. This generates an email request which you must send to Preactor. Preactor will send you a response file.
3. When you receive the response file, apply it to your existing installation of Graphical Planner.
This applies a 30 day licence.
Note:
You must upgrade your Graphical Planner to v12.0 SP1 within this 30 day licence period.
4. Uninstall your existing version of Graphical Planner.
5. Install Graphical Planner version 12.0 SP1 and activate your new v12.0 SP1 licence as per the installation and activation instructions. See
Install Graphical Planner on page 119
.
Important!
There were substantial differences between Sage Graphical Planner v9.4 and v11.01.
For this reason, if you are upgrading from v9.4, you must re-create all of your calendar information in
Graphical Planner v12.0 SP1 once it is installed. Refer to
Preactor's help
system for guidance on the differences between the versions.
Note:
Any changes you have made to the workspace within Graphical Planner (for example, the arrangement of toolbars, the colours assigned to product categories, shift patterns or calendar exceptions) are not included in the upgrade. You will need to recreate these changes in the upgraded version of Graphical Planner.
To upgrade BI from v5.1
Follow the instructions in this section to upgrade Business Intelligence from 5.1.

9 | Upgrading Sage 200
To upgrade BI
1. Make sure the Windows user accounts for users that will access the BI Administration tool are: n
A domain user as long as they are an administrator in Analysis Services (see
Microsoft SQL Server security settings ),
n
A member of the Sage 200 Administrators group.
n
Have access to the relevant Sage 200 company in System Administration.
n
A domain user that has 'dbcreator' level permissions in SQL Server.
2. Create a windows user account for the scheduled task that updates the BI cubes.
You must specify a windows user account that will run the scheduled task for BI to update the cubes. In previous versions you could use the Local System account, this is not possible for 2015.
We recommend that you create a windows user account specifically for this task. The user specified to run the Windows Scheduled Task must: l
Have a secure password that never expires.
We recommend that you keep a note of the password for this account until you have set up the BI Administration tool and the scheduled task is running successfully.
l
Have the following privileges: o
Be a member of the Sage 200 Administrators group.
o
Have access to the relevant Sage 200 company.
o
Be a local administrator on the Sage 200 server.
o
Be an administrator in Analysis Services.
o
Be a user in SQL Server with sysadmin access.
Note:
If this user does not appear in the user list in the BI Admin tool, we recommend that you create a new user in Active Directory. This is due to the Windows user not having a
User Principle Name
. A User Principle Name is a part of the Active Directory user information. This information is sometimes missing on older user accounts, especially if they have been migrated from an older version of Active Directory and the domain administrator account.
3. Back up all Sage 200 databases (including data warehouses and analysis services databases).
4. Make a copy of the
settings.xml
file found in the following folder:

9. If you have created custom reports or connections, you must make sure that they are copied from
C:\Program Files\Sage\Sage 200 IALibrary\
to the
Sage 200 BI
folder for each user's roaming profile.
10. Make sure the scheduled task is on the Sage 200 Server machine. Each company that uses
BI must have a separate scheduled task.
In previous versions, the scheduled task could be installed on a separate machine with SQL
Server. See
Configure the scheduled task on page 96 .

Aged Debt and Aged Credit Cubes v2010 and prior
In v2010 and before, the
Aged Debt
and
Aged Credit
cubes only contained information about invoices.
In the newer versions of BI, these cubes have been updated to include all transactions. In previous versions of Sage 200, when you added the
Value
on your aged debt and aged credit BI reports, you could only choose to use the
Outstanding Value
or
Invoice Value
.
In current versions, the
Invoice Value
has been changed to
Transaction Value
. This is because this now includes the value of credit notes, receipts and payments as well as invoices.
If you have existing BI reports that use the
Invoice Value
, you must amend these reports after you have upgraded to Sage 200 2015.
1. Open the BI report.
2. If
Invoice Value
is used as criteria on the report, re-select
Transaction Value
.
3. If
Invoice Value
has been used on the rows or columns, open the
Report Layout
.
4. Select
Value
on the
Columns
or
Rows
, where applicable.
5. Select
Transaction Value
.
6. Click
Apply
.
Project Accounting Reports
You can set up Sage 200 Project Accounting to use terminology that is familiar to your business, such as
Job
rather than
Project
.
Business Intelligence automatically uses these configurable terms when you create or update the
Project Accounting cubes. This is to make sure that your reports match the terms that have been set up in Sage 200.
However, the standard project reports in BI have been created using the default terminology from
Sage 200. Before using the standard project reports in BI, you must amend them to match the terminology you have set up in Sage 200.
To change the configurable terms
For each project report:
1. Open the report.
2. Select each item that has used a configurable term.
3. Re-select the item using the new term.
For example, if you have used
Job
as the label for your
Projects
, you must re-select
Job
for each incidence where
Project
is currently specified on the report.

200 company database and the Sage 200 Accounts forms.
If these users do not need to access the Sage 200 desktop, create a
Remote Users Access only
role. This allows CRM users to launch Accounts forms without using an Accounts license.
To set up your users:
1. Make sure that the Windows user accounts for your CRM users are members of the Sage
200 Users group.
2. In System Administration, make sure these users have access the Sage 200 company you want to integrate with.
a. Open System Administration
> Companies > Properties
.
b. Assign your CRM users on the
Users
tab.
3. Create a role for your CRM users and authorise the features for the relevant Sage 200 forms.
a. Open System Administration
> Companies > Roles
.
b. Create a role and assign your CRM users.
c. If your CRM users will not access the Sage 200 desktop, select
Remote User
Access only
.
Once selected, these users cannot access the Sage 200 desktop.
d. Right-click the role and authorise all the features.
Set up Sage 200 CRM in Sage 200 Accounts
In Sage 200 you set up the following:
1. Enter the CRM integration and webservice settings.
2. If required, choose to automatically generate order numbers in the SOP settings.
3. If required, choose to use segmented addresses in the system settings.
4. If required, set up a customer account in Sage 200 for prospect quotations.
Set the CRM Integration Settings in Sage 200
You must now enter the integration settings. These settings allow you to:
163
Sage 200 On Premise n
Make the profitability information available to all users when entering web orders.
n
Choose the amount of data that you wish to synchronise with Sage 200.
This determines the length of time taken to complete the initial synchronisation. We recommend that for the initial synchronisation you do not choose to synchronise all Sage 200 data. Once the initial synchronisation is successful, you can change the
Integration Level
to include further data if required. Once further data is included, the next synchronisation will take longer.
You can choose to synchronise the following data: n
Customers and suppliers only n
Customers, suppliers and products.
n
Customers, suppliers, products, quotes and sales orders.
You can also choose the number of sales orders and quotes to synchronise. This is done by date. You specify a
Date From
date. All quotes and orders with a
Document
Date
on or after this date are synchronised with Sage 200 CRM.
Open
Accounting System Manager > Settings > CRM Integration Settings
.
For more information, see the Sage 200 Help .
Choose to use auto numbers in the SOP settings
If you want to use Sage 200 CRM web orders to enter sales order and quotes via Sage 200 CRM, you must choose to automatically generate numbers for your sales orders and returns in Sage 200.
This is to make sure a Sage 200 order number is assigned to all quotes and sales orders created in
CRM.
Sage 200 CRM and Sage 200 use different numbering systems. If sales order numbers are not automatically generated in Sage 200, any orders created using web orders in CRM will not appear in
Sage 200. This is because they do not have a sales order number assigned to them.
Open: Sage 200 > Sales Order Processing > System Set Up > SOP
Settings|Document Numbering
For more information, see the Sage 200 Help .
Choose to use segmented addresses in the system settings
We recommend that you use segmented addresses in Sage 200. This is to make sure your customer and supplier addresses synchronise to the corresponding address fields in Sage 200
CRM.
Once selected, this creates separate address lines for
City
and
County
when entering customer and supplier addresses. This allows the synchronisation to match the
City
and
County
address lines in Sage 200 with the corresponding
City
and
County
address lines in Sage 200 CRM.
If you do not choose to use segmented addresses in Sage 200, the city and county address information is entered on the third and fourth address lines in Sage 200. When the data is
164
10 | Install and set up Sage 200 CRM synchronised, the city and county information will be on
Address lines 3
and
Address Line 4
in
Sage 200 CRM. This makes it harder to search your addresses in the Sage 200 CRM database.
Open: Sage 200 > Accounting System Manager > Settings > System Settings
.
For more information, see the Sage 200 Help .
Set up an account for prospect quotations in Sage 200 Accounts
If you want to use prospect accounts within CRM, you also need to create a customer account in
Sage 200 for your prospects. You can create a new customer account, or alternatively you can use an existing customer account.
If you create a new account, you can see the prospect accounts that have been raised on your Sage
200 CRM system and sent to Sage 200.
Once you have created a customer account for your prospects, you must set this as the default account in the Sales Order Processing module in Sage 200.
To create a prospect account in the Sales Ledger:
Open: Sage 200 > Sales Ledger > Customer Accounts > Enter New Account
.
For more information, see the Sage 200 Help .

n
The specifications of the system you are using and the resources available on your system when the synchronisation is running.
Note:
Do
not
use Sage 200 CRM while the synchronisation is taking place.
Once the initial synchronisation is complete, subsequent synchronisations only process records since the last synchronisation and are therefore much quicker.
Integration Log Files
Both Sage 200 CRM and Sage 200 have log files that can be used if problems are encountered when synchronising Sage 200 CRM and Sage 200. If the integration fails, check the CRM log files first.
CRM Integration Log Files
The CRM integration log file provides details of the synchronisation activity. By default only error information captured. This is set on the
Logging
tab of the integration screen in Sage 200 CRM.
The log file shows you where the synchronisation has failed. It shows the reason the synchronisation has failed and the relevant entity. Where possible additional information is included to help identify issues, such as the CRM record ID, the Sage 200 record ID, the document number, the warehouse name, the contact name and so forth.

Troubleshooting
The first time you launch an Accounts form from CRM, the form may take some time to open.
If you cannot launch Accounts forms from CRM, check the following:
Does the user have access to the relevant Accounts database?
Does the user have access in Accounts to the form you want to launch?
Does the user have access in CRM to the form you want to launch ?
Is there is an error on the webpage?
If so, check the error details in your browser.
Does the port number match the port number specified in the ERP Form Launch settings?
Are there other applications running on the port specified for the Task Launcher? If this port is already in use, change the port for the Task Launcher.
Is the Task Launcher running?
To check this, stop and re-start the Task Launcher, by right-clicking the icon in the system tray.
Do you have pop-up blocker enabled in your web brower?
181
Sage 200 On Premise
Are you using Internet Explorer? Is
Protected Mode
turned on?
If so, add the CRM website to the list of trusted sites for each CRM user.
The CRM website is in the Local Intranet zone. This has the protected mode enabled when
UAC is turned on. When you attempt to launch forms, the CRM website posts a request to the local machine. This is blocked by Internet Explorer. Adding the CRM web server to the list of trusted sites will allow CRM to launch forms on the user's session, as trusted sites do not have protected mode enabled by default.
To do this: a. Open Internet Explorer and select
Tools > Internet Options
.
b. Select the
Security
tab.
c. Select
Trusted Sites
.
d. Click
Sites
.
e. Enter the URL for CRM in to the box.
For example, if your CRM URL is
https://myserver/CRM/eware.dll
, enter the URL as
https://myserver
.
f. Click
Add
and the URL will now appear in the trusted websites list.
Note:
You may be prompted to have a secure URL; clear the
Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone
check box, if you are not using https for your CRM site.
g. Click
Close
on the
Trusted Sites
window.
h. Click
OK
to apply these changes.
If you opened the Internet options from within Internet Explorer then you should restart
Internet Explorer to ensure the changes are applied.
If you run Internet Explorer again and navigate to the CRM website, the status at the bottom right of Internet Explorer is
Trusted Sites: Protected Mode Off
. You can now launch Sage
200 forms from CRM.

Upgrading Sage 200 CRM
Use this chapter if you are upgrading from Sage 200 CRM 7.2 d hotfix 1 integrated with Sage 200 2013 R2.
To upgrade from earlier versions of Sage 200, please see the Upgrading CRM Guide.
IMPORTANT
You
must
upgrade your existing installation of Sage 200 in a test environment before upgrading live data.
This section is designed to be read prior to starting the upgrade process.
Testing an upgrade prior to going live is critical to minimise any impact on your customer. By following the steps in this section you will have clear documented steps and an audit of events should any problems occur either during the test upgrade or at 'go live' with the customer.
Do not dispose of your test environment until the live upgrade has been performed and the end user is satisfied that the upgrade has completed successfully.
Should problems be encountered during the test stage or at go live, technical support will assist in identifying the root cause provided that evidence of the pre-checks are available as outlined in this document. If it is evident that the pre-checks have not been carried out, we would endeavour to assist, however this would be on a chargeable basis.
If you are unsure about anything outlined in this section, or during the upgrade process please contact
Sage Technical Support. It is better to address issues as they arise in the test environment than afterwards when an issue may impact the end user.
Key facts for upgrading Sage 200 CRM:
1. You must upgrades all parts of Sage 200 at the same time. If you upgrade Sage 200, you must also upgrade Sage 200 CRM and vice versa.
183
Sage 200 On Premise
2. Your existing installation of Sage 200 CRM
must
be v7.2d hotfix 1.
You can check the version of Sage 200 CRM that you are using from the CRM log on window.
3. Your existing installation of Sage 200 must be Sage 200 2013 R2.

Checklist to upgrade from 2013 R2 to 2015
This is designed to be used as a printable checklist of the steps required to upgrade Sage 200 CRM from v7.2d HF1 to 7.3. For more detailed information about the required steps, see
200 CRM - detailed steps on page 188
.
To upgrade from earlier versions of Sage 200, please see the Upgrading CRM Guide.
Create a test environment
You
must
upgrade in a test environment first.
The environment must be as close to the live system as possible. This includes the operating system and SQL set up. You must also ensure that the customer system and test environment comply with the current Sage 200 CRM system requirements.
See
System requirements and prerequisites on page 3 .
Important
Consider the impact of bulk changes to the data (such as Data Uploads or File Import routines) in the period between the test upgrade and the live upgrade. Such procedures may introduce data anomalies which could prevent an integration from completing successfully. If you must perform such a process, you should also create a new test environment to include these changes and retest the WHOLE upgrade process outlined in the checklist.
Install the customer’s current Sage 200 and CRM applications into the Test Environment.
Take a complete backup of the customer's live Sage 200 Sage CRM system, including:
Registry files
Program files
Database
Attach the backup to the CRM application within the Test Environment.
Complete a backup of the Sage 200 database.
Attach the backup to the Sage 200 application within the Test Environment.
Copy the
WWWROOT
folder from the live site into test environment.
Ensure the
CRM Integration
service is disabled.
185
Sage 200 On Premise
As you have moved the CRM database to a new test location, you must change the URL for the integration in the CRM database. This makes sure that the test integration uses the correct address.

Upgrading Sage 200 CRM - detailed steps
Follow the steps in this section if your current installation of Sage 200 CRM is 7.2d hotfix 1 and your current version of Sage 200 is 2013 R2.
To upgrade from earlier versions of Sage 200, please see the Upgrading CRM Guide.
For a printable check list of these steps , see
Checklist to upgrade from 2013 R2 to 2015 on page
Entity Mappings
Before you upgrade your data you
must
check your Entity mappings are correct.
The integration between Accounts and CRM processes any changes to each CRM entity in a specified order.
You can see how CRM handles each mapping on the
Administration > Integration > Integration
List Entity Mappings
tab in CRM. This shows the direction that data is synchronised and whether the information in CRM or the information in Accounts takes priority.
Changing these settings may adversely affect how the data is synchronised and can cause the synchronisation to fail.
Note:
Sage 200 CRM is
not
supported when the Entity Mappings have been changed
See
Step 2: Check that your Entity Mappings are correct on page 191

Important Note for users of Sage 200 CRM where Sage 200 is
NOT synchronised
If you have turned off the synchronisation between Sage CRM and Sage 200 and both programs are run as standalone systems and are not integrated with one another, you
must
complete the following additional steps.
When upgrading Sage 200 CRM, a synchronisation is applied to the system. The customisations, included in the upgrade, will not be applied if the synchronisation is not run.
In this case you must complete the following steps:
1. Create a new Sage 200 company. This creates a new company with a blank database.
2. Set up an integration with this new Sage 200 company.
3. Run a synchronisation between CRM and the new blank database.
This applies the customisations.
4. Disable the integration between CRM and the database and remove if required.
This applies the customisations to the blank database. This ensures that account entities are linked to a company. If you do not do this, you will not be able to enter quotes and orders against the company after installing Sage 200 CRM 7.1.
Step 1: Create a test environment
The test environment must be as close to the live system as possible. This includes the operating system and SQL set up. You must also ensure that the customer system and test environment comply with the current Sage 200 CRM system requirements.
Note:
When setting up a test environment for your site, we recommend that you either use a separate system or a Virtual Machine. CRM is not supported when it is installed more than once on the same server.
Important
Consider the impact of bulk changes to the data (such as Data Uploads or File Import routines) in the period between the test upgrade and the live upgrade. Such procedures may introduce data anomalies which could prevent an integration from completing successfully. If you must perform such a process, you should also create a new test environment to include these changes and retest the WHOLE upgrade process outlined in the checklist.
To install Sage 200 CRM in the test environment:
189
Sage 200 On Premise
1. Install the customer’s current Sage 200 and CRM applications into the Test Environment.
2. Take a complete backup of the customer’s live Sage 200 CRM system, including: l
Registry files l
Program files l
Database
3. Attach the backup to the CRM application within the Test Environment.
4. Complete a backup of the Sage 200 database.
5. Attach the backup to the Sage 200 application within the Test Environment.
6. Copy the
WWWROOT
folder from the live site into test environment.
7. Ensure the
CRM Integration
service is disabled.
8. As you have moved the CRM database to a new test location, you must change the URL for the integration in the CRM database. This makes sure that the test integration uses the correct address.
To update
ERPIntegrations
:
UPDATE
ERPIntegrations
SET
ERPI_ERPURL = 'https://<your server name>:10443/Sage200Services/Sage200CRMSyncService.svc'
WHERE
ERPI_IntegrationID =
NN

ERPIntegrations
SET
ERPI_ERPUser = '<Your Domain name\Username>'
WHERE
ERPI_IntegrationID =
NN
UPDATE
ERPIntegrations
SET
ERPI_ERPPassword = '<your password>'
WHERE
ERPI_IntegrationID =
NN
(
NN
is the correct ID for your live integration).
9. Re-set IIS.
10. Re-enable the Integration Service.
11.
Ensure that the Max Errors value within each CRM Integration is set to 1 at all times during the integration process. Failure to do so can cause anomalies in the integrated data.
12. Test the integration in the customer’s current version of CRM.
Ensure that it completes correctly. If it does not, you must resolve any issues before proceeding. Take thorough notes of any steps taken to rectify problems at this stage, as these changes must also be made to the live data before performing an upgrade

Customers and suppliers only.
n
Customers, suppliers and products.
n
Customers, suppliers, products, sales orders and quotations.
You can also select which sales orders and quotes to synchronise. This is done by date.
We recommend that for your initial synchronisation, you do not synchronise all your data, as this may take some time depending on the amount of data in your Sage 200 database. Once the initial synchronisation is successful, you can change the
CRM Integration Settings
to include further data.
Open: Sage 200 Accounts > Accounting System Manager > Settings > CRM
Integration Settings
.
Step 12: Install Sage 200 CRM 7.3
The install file is located in the

CRM Escalation Service
n
Jspel Spell Checker
Step 14: Confirm the IIS application pools used by CRM are started
There are two application pools used by CRM. You must make sure these are started in IIS Manager
(
inetmgr
), before you synchronise your Sage 200 CRM data. The two application pools are:
196
11 | Upgrading Sage 200 CRM n
CRM App Pool
n
CRMRewriter App Pool
Step 15: Configure the CRM web site
You must configure the CRM web site to use the application pool identity and change the CRM application pool user. This is to allow the Pricing Service and Real Time Data Views to access the
Sage 200 Accounts, and to make sure that you can access the
Progress
tab on the integration.
To change the application pool identity
1. Open
Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
.
2. On the
Connections
pane, select
Sites > Default Web Site
.
3. Select the web site for your installation of CRM.
This is the
Installation name
that you entered in step 5 of the Sage 200 CRM installation process.

Step 16: Reset IIS
Step 17: Enable your table level triggers.
You must enable your live triggers after you have installed the upgrade. Use one of the following methods: n
Use a SQL script: a. Run the following SQL script to enable
all
triggers.
sp_msforeachtable 'ALTER TABLE ? ENABLE TRIGGER'
b. Manually disable the now live triggers that were previously disabled. These are the ones you made a note of in Step 6.
n
Manually enable your live triggers: a. Expand each relevant table in your SQL database.
b. Select the trigger and click
Enable
.
See
Step 6: Disable your table level triggers on page 193
.
Step 18: Run the Synchronisation Reset utility
The first synchronisation that occurs after you upgraded Sage 200 and Sage 200 CRM should only include database changes made in the new versions and not data records. This utility makes sure that only changes to Sage 200 CRM integration are included in the synchronisation, when a new version of Sage 200 is installed.
1. Download the
CRM Synchronisation Reset
tool from the Sage website.
2. Open the tool and click
Next
on the welcome screen.
3. Enter the name of the SQL server instance where the Sage 200 database in installed, or select it from the
Select SQL Server Instance
drop-down list.
4. Click

to load the available databases.
5. Enter the user name and password for the SQL Server instance and click
OK
.
6. Enter or select the name of the Sage 200 database and click
Next
.
7. To proceed with the updates to the oplock values, click
Finish
.
See
CRM Synchronisation Reset application on page 207
.
Step 19: Additional steps for customised CRM
If you have added your own customisations to Sage 200 CRM:
1. You must re-apply the following customisations
before
you run the synchronisation: n
Customisations made to Views, where you have received a warning about the View during the upgrade process.
199
Sage 200 On Premise
Note:
Customisations made to the
vOpportunity
view must re-applied to the view created by Sage 200, after the first synchronisation.
n
Customisations made to the Sage 200 CRM database.
Step 20: Re-index your CRM database
This can reduce the time it takes the first synchronisation to complete after upgrading.
Step 21: Synchronise your Sage 200 CRM data
You must correct any errors that occur during the synchronisation process. Take thorough notes of any changes you make as you will also need to make these changes to the live environment. You should only continue with the rest of the upgrade if synchronisation is successful.
1. Log on to Sage 200 CRM.
2. Start the synchronisation (
Administration> Integration> Integration List >
Integration
Name
> Immediate Synch
).
The upgraded integration details are still displayed.
The synchronisation begins. The synchronisation may take some time depending on: n
The size of your Sage CRM and Sage 200 Accounts databases.
n
The amount of Sage 200 data you have chosen to include in the synchronisation.
n
The specifications of the system you are using and the resources available on your system when the synchronisation is running.
Note:
Do
not
use Sage 200 CRM while the synchronisation is taking place.
The
Progress
tab shows the number of records remaining to be synchronised for each entity.
Use the
Refresh
button to update this page.
The synchronisation is finished when the
Synch Status
shows
Success
or
Failed
and the
Last Synch Time
and
Next Synch Time
are completed.
Step 22: Check the Sage 200 customisations have been applied
To confirm that the Sage 200 CRM customisations have been applied by the synchronisation, make sure you have a
Sage 200 Groups
tab in
My CRM
.
Step 23: Re -apply customisations
You must
re-apply
any customisations that you have made to screens that have been changed in the new version of Sage 200 CRM.
For more information and to see the list of the screens that have been changed in each version of
Sage 200 CRM, see on page 1 .
200
11 | Upgrading Sage 200 CRM
Step 24: Test the functionality in Sage 200 CRM
Important
In the time between performing the test upgrade and the live upgrade do not make any customisations to the CRM or Sage 200 Application. If you must do so, you should also create a new test environment to include these changes and re-test the WHOLE upgrade process outlined in the previous pages.
1. Make sure that all functionality performs as expected and that all records synchronise successfully. Pay particular attention to areas of the software that have been customised.
2. Make sure the end user has an opportunity to use and review the test environment before performing the live upgrade.
201
Sage 200 On Premise
Upgrading customised CRM
This chapter provides additional information about how to upgrade Sage 200 CRM if you have added your own customisations.
There are three types of customisations: n
Customisation of screens n
Customisation of Views n
Customisations to the database.
Upgrading customisation of screens
When you upgrade Sage 200 CRM, the first synchronisation after installing the new version adds all the Sage 200 CRM customisations that have changed in the new version.
These customisations can be new screens or changes to existing customised screens.
If you have added your own customisation to one of the screens that has changed in the new version of Sage 200 CRM, you will need to re-apply that customisation after you have upgraded and synchronised your data.
Each of the Sage 200 customisations XML files has a version number. When the synchronisation is run, the web service method only applies those customisations with the higher version number. For
2013 R2 , the customisations version number is 17.2.1.
For a list of the screens that have changed for each version, see on page 1 .
Once you have installed upgraded:
1. Synchronise your data.
2. Check which screens have changed.
See on page 1 .
3. Re-apply any of your customsiations that have been made to screens that have changed.
Upgrading customisations of Views
The Opportunity view, (
vOpportunity
,) is customised by Sage 200 CRM and this customisation is applied as part of the first synchronisation. Therefore, any customisations you have made to the
vOpportunity
view must be re-applied to the view created by Sage 200, after the first synchronisation.
Sage 200 CRM checks the remaining Views to see if they need updating as part of the upgrade process. If you have customised a View that requires updating, the customisation will be overwritten. In this case, a log file is created and a warning is displayed during the upgrade process.
202
11 | Upgrading Sage 200 CRM
If you receive any of these warnings during the upgrade process, you must re-apply the customisations to these Views
before
you run a synchronisation.
Upgrading Database customisations
If you have made customisations to the Sage 200 CRM database, these customisations must be reapplied
before
you run a synchronisation. This is because the synchronisation may be reliant on these customisations.
Customisations of tables and columns
Any customisations you make to tables or columns in Sage 200 CRM must be alphanumeric and must not contain any special characters.
When non-alphanumeric characters are included the synchronisation may fail and the data may not display properly in CRM.
Custom Triggers
Custom triggers in the CRM database may cause the upgrade scripts to fail.
When this occurs, the script completes with errors and the trigger name can be found in the script results.
To resolve this: n
Remove the trigger.
n
Run the script.
n
Re-apply the trigger.
Using the Component Manager to re-apply customisations
If your customisations have been recorded using the CRM Component Manager your existing screen may be replaced with a new version of the screen. In this situation, you must manually reapply any changes to the screen. You should not run any customisation scripts you have created using the Component Manager. Running a customisation script created in a previous version of
Sage 200 CRM will delete the Sage 200 CRM upgrade changes.
Tip:
You can use the Component Manager to transfer customisations from the test system to the live system. To do this:
1. Re- apply your customisations to test system.
2. Make a list of all the screens that you have changed.
3. In the Component Manager, start a new component.
203
Sage 200 On Premise
4. Open and save each customised screen.
5. Stop and script out the new component.
6. Apply the new component to the live system.
For more information about using the Component Manager, see the CRM Developer Help.

CRM Integration tools
We have provided some additional tools to be used as part of the upgrade process. However these tools are not version specific and can be run at any time.
n
The
CRM Integrity tool
is a module of the Sage 200 Support tool. It runs a series of checks against your CRM data and provides information about your CRM data that could cause problems with your upgrade.
n
The CRM Synchronisation Reset application is designed to improve the speed of your synchronisation.
The CRM Integrity tool
This tool runs a sequence of data validation checks against a selected CRM database. It then provides information about your CRM data that could cause problems with your upgrade.
If any problems are reported, the tool directs you to additional information and/or a SQL script on the support area of the Sage website. This will help you to resolve potential issues before proceeding with the upgrade.
Note:
Before running any of these scripts, you must make sure that you have backed up your
CRM database, disabled the integration and that no users are logged onto Sage 200 CRM.
This tool is not version specific and can be run at any time. We recommend that you always run this tool before and after upgrading Sage 200 CRM, to check your data.
Using the CRM Integrity tool
1. Download the tool from the Sage 200 CRM support area of the Sage website: www.sage.co.uk/Sage200CRMSupport/Tech Support .
2. Open the tool and select the relevant SQL instance and CRM database.
a. Click
Run
.
205

11 | Upgrading Sage 200 CRM
CRM Synchronisation Reset application
This utility is designed to improve the speed of the synchronisation when upgrading Sage 200 and
Sage 200 CRM. It can be used with any version of Sage 200 CRM.
Every time a record is added or changed in Sage 200. The record is stamped with an incremental number. By stamping the record the system knows in which order the records were added or amended. The field that is used to hold this information is called
OpLock
.
When a synchronisation with CRM takes place, the integration service needs to know which records have been amended since the last synchronisation. To do this, the integration service stores the last oplock value for each entity that was included in the synchronisation. The next time a synchronisation is run the integration service requests all records that have a higher oplock value than the last one stored.
When you upgrade to a new version of Sage 200, changes are made to the database tables. The oplock values are then updated for all records in that table. If these tables synchronise with Sage
200 CRM, all records in these tables will be included in the next synchronisation with Sage 200
CRM. This can then make the next synchronisation considerably longer than usual. For example, if changes are made to the sales orders tables, then all sales orders will be re-synchronised with Sage
200 CRM, even though no data values have changed.
The CRM Synchronisation Reset application updates the oplock values on these records. This prevents them from being included in the synchronisation.
To use the CRM Synchronisation Reset application
1. Synchronise your current data, prior to upgrading Sage 200 CRM. Do not make any amendments to the Sage 200 data or the Sage 200 CRM data.
This makes sure that your Sage 200 and Sage 200 CRM data match and are up to date.
2. Upgrade Sage 200 and Sage 200 CRM.
The oplock values in Sage 200 will be updated for all tables that have been changed for the new version of Sage 200. Sage 200 CRM is not updated.
207
Sage 200 On Premise
3. Run the CRM Synchronisation Reset utility.
The last stored oplock value in CRM, for each entity that synchronises with Sage 200, is updated.
The Sage 200 oplock values now match the Sage 200 CRM oplock values. To ru the utility: a. Download the following file from the support area of the Sage website:
CRM Synchronisation Reset.exe
.
b. Open the file and click
