To install the Great Plains sample application, complete the following procedure.

A message may be displayed asking whether you want to include new code. Click Yes. When the Login window appears, log in as the System Administrator (sa), or DYNSA.

You must log in as the System Administrator (sa) or DYNSA the first time after installing the sample, so the application’s SQL tables will be properly created.
