Tips & Tools - SYSPRO 

Have you ever wondered how to change the record retention settings in SYSPRO? In the setup on each module (on the History tab) within SYSPRO, you can change settings for how long SYSPRO will retain data.  This can be used to automatically purge old records from your database, which can help to speed up your system and to only save timely information that is still relevant.

Are you considering upgrading to SYPRO 6.1? The SYSPRO 6.1 Readiness Check program enables you to verify whether or not a company is ready to upgrade from SYSPRO 6.0 Issue 010 SP2 to SYSPRO 6.1. The program is downloaded by updating Port 99 on your SYSPRO 6.0 Issue 010 SP2 system. The download can be found at http://support.syspro.com/dealer/downloads/index.php. See ASI’s previous Tip & Tool on How to Install S

When installing the Syspro Client on a Windows 7 or Vista workstation, you might experience problems, especially with Syspro Reporting Services, due to the User Account Control (UAC). UAC is a Windows security feature that limits privileges unless the user is an administrator.

In order to prevent these problems the Syspro client should be installed with UAC turned off. Once it is installed it can be turned back on and it will work fine.

When running certain SRS reports you may receive a “Verify Database” error. This is due to the report being replaced by a newer port/version of SYSPRO and no longer exists. It should then be removed from your menu. In most cases there is a replacement report; for a complete list please visit the support zone FAQs.
