Applies to:   Microsoft Dynamics GP
Original KB number:   943966

Symptoms

When the Validating Product Version Information process is run in Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities, you receive the following error message:

The stored procedure verifyVersionInformation() of form duSQLInstall Pass Through SQL returned the following results: DBMS: 468, Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0.

Cause

This problem occurs if the collations and the sort orders of the DYNAMICS database and of the company database do not match the collations and the sort orders of the Microsoft SQL Server system databases.

To compare the collations and the sort orders of the databases, see the More Information section.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, correct the collations and the sort orders so that they are the same for the DYNAMICS database, for the company database, and for the SQL Server system databases. To do this, use one of the following methods.

Method 1

Contact your partner of record or Microsoft Advisory Services for information about a billable service to correct the collations and the sort orders. To do this, use one of the following options, depending on whether you are a partner or a customer.

Method 2

Change the collations and the sort orders of the DYNAMICS database and of the company database by using the Bulk Copy Process (BCP) feature of SQL Server.

For more information about scripts when you use the BCP process to change the SQL Server sort order, see How to use the Bulk Copy Process (BCP) to export Microsoft Dynamics GP data from one database and import data into a new database.
