Before completing this task, complete the prerequisites in the Great Plains connector or Microsoft Dynamics GP connector topic.

Procedure

  1. Stop the eConnect service if it is currently running.

  2. Edit the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.Service.exe.config file.

    The location of this file is in the Service folder of the eConnect installation. For example: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\<eConnect_Version>\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.Service.exe.config.

  3. Within the <bindings> element, add a <basicHttpBinding> element:

    <basicHttpBinding>
    	<binding name="eConnectBasicHttpConfig" closeTimeout="00:10:00"
    		sendTimeout="00:10:00" allowCookies="false" maxBufferSize="2147483647"
    		maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
    		<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
    			<transport clientCredentialType="Basic" />
    		</security>
    	</binding>
    </basicHttpBinding>

  4. Within the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.service <service> element, add a new <endpoint> element.

    <endpoint address="EntityOperations" binding="basicHttpBinding"
    	bindingConfiguration="eConnectBasicHttpConfig" name="eConnectServiceBasicHttpEndpoint"
    	contract="Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.IEconnect">
    	<identity>
    		<dns value="localhost" />
    	</identity>
    </endpoint>

  5. Within the <baseAddresses> element, add a new <add> element.

    <add baseAddress="http://localhost/Microsoft/Dynamics/GP/eConnect/" />

  6. Start the eConnect service.

  7. Import your Profile.

    Changes take effect after you import the profile.
