refer to this Microsoft Support page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2645648.

1.4 Verify Windows Operating System Requirements
Use the following steps to verify your operating system requirements for installing the Epicor 10 application.
These steps must be performed on the Epicor Application Server, and not on the machine where you will be
running the Epicor Administration Console.
1. Verify you have one of the following installed on your server:

Windows Server 2008 R2 (SP1)
Windows Server 2012
2. Verify you have one of the following installed on your workstation:

Windows 7 (SP1) x86 / x64
Windows 8 x86 / x64 Intel Architecture
3. If you want to use the Epicor Administration Console to remotely administer machines, you need to enable
the IIS Management Service. To do this:
Using Windows 7: Navigate to Start > Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or
off. In the Windows Features window, navigate to Internet Information Services > Web Management
Tools and select the IIS Management Service check box. Click OK. Click Close.
Using Windows 8: Navigate to Settings > Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows
features on or off. In the Windows Features window, navigate to Internet Information Services >

Management Server (HTTP Traffic-In)" is enabled. To do this, open your Windows Firewall. Locate the
inbound rule named "Web Management Service (HTTP Traffic-in)". Right-click on the rule and select
Properties. Enter the following:
a. In the General tab, select Allow the connection in the Action group box.
b. In the Advanced tab, in the profiles section, clear the Public check box. This option should not be selected.
c. Keep the Domain and the Private options enabled.
Note The inbound rule "Web Management Server (HTTP Traffic-In)" should be enabled, if it exists.
If that rule is not present, then create your own inbound rule that opens port 8172 for TCP traffic.
6. With Windows Server 2008 R2 (SP1), a firewall is installed. The firewall must be disabled in order for
connectivity from other machines to allow for administering of the Epicor 10 Application Servers. Based on
your company practices, you can enable your firewall after the installation process is complete.
1.5 Verify SQL Server Install and Features
Verify that a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server is installed on your database server and that the required
Full-Text Search feature is installed on your SQL Server instance. If necessary, use these steps to install Microsoft
SQL Server.
Note It is recommended that you review the SQL Books Online information in order to become familiar
with the SQL Server administration functionality. The documentation is typically installed with the SQL
Server application. To access it, navigate to Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server >
Documentation and Tutorials > SQL Server Books Online.
1. On your database server, verify that one of the supported SQL Server versions is installed:
SQL Server 2008 R2
SQL Server 2012
If necessary, install SQL Server on your database server using the instructions that came with your SQL
installation. Be sure to install any Microsoft service pack and patch updates related to your SQL version.
2. If your SQL Server is hosted on a different machine than the Epicor 10 Application Server, verify that network
connectivity exists between the servers. To do this, complete the following steps on the two machines:
a. For the Application Server, do the following:

Add a domain account with Administrator permissions.
Log into the Application Server using the domain account with Administrator permissions.
Verify SQL Express 2008 R2 (minimum) or SQL Express 2012 is installed on the server that hosts the
Application Server.
b. For the SQL Server, do the following:

Add the domain account login (with Administrator permissions) to the Administrators group.

Verify the SQL Server service properties specifies "Log On As" that specific domain account.
In SQL Server Management Studio, create the domain account as a SQL login account with sysadmin
rights.
3. Verify that the Full-Text Search feature is installed on your SQL Server instance. Full-Text Search is required
in order to create databases using the Epicor 10 application. To verify if the feature is installed:
a. Open SQL Server Management Studio. Right-click on your server/instance and select New Query.
Enter the following query:
SELECT fulltextserviceproperty('IsFulltextInstalled')
IF (1 = FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled')) print 'INSTALLED' else print 'NOT INSTALLED'
b. Click Execute. If the query returns 1 or INSTALLED it means that Full-Text Search is installed.
Your query results may look similar to the following:
c. If the query returns 0 or NOT INSTALLED, you must install the Full-Text Search component. To do this:
Select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. In the list of programs, right-click MS SQL
Server installation and select Uninstall/Change. Click Add.
Use you MS SQL Server installation media to run SQL setup wizard.
In the Installation Type window, select the option to Add features to an existing instance of
SQL Server and specify the SQL Server instance you want to modify.
In the Feature Selection window, select the Full-Text Search check box. Click Next several times,
then click Complete to finish the component installation.
Note As an alternate method to verify if the Full-Text Search feature is enabled on your SQL Server,
you can review the list of services. To do this, on your SQL Server select Start > Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Services. Verify that SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (SQL Server
Instance Name) service is listed, for example (MSSQLSERVER). Note that if your SQL Server has multiple
instances, you must verify that the service is available for the specific SQL Server instance.
1.6 Verify SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Prerequisites
Use these steps to verify that you have the required components and features installed and configured properly
for using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). With Epicor ERP 10, you use SSRS for reporting functionality.
1. Verify that you are using SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2012.

2. In order to print reports using SSRS, you must download and install a Microsoft SQL Server update
package from the Microsoft Support site. It is a known Microsoft issue that installing the update is required
for the rendering of PDF reports to be successful. For more information, refer to this Microsoft Support
page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2645648.
3. Verify that IIS is installed on the server where Epicor SQL Server Reporting will be installed.
4. Verify that .NET 4.5 is installed on the server where Epicor SQL Server Reporting will be installed.

To do this:
a. Navigate to Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 20xx > Configurator Tools > Reporting
Services Configuration Manager.
b. Click Connect to connect to the report server/instance.
c. In Current Report Server information displayed, verify that Report Server Mode is Native.
Note For more information on installing Reporting Services Native Mode Report Server, review
the Microsoft SQL Server Documentation Online. You can use this link: http://technet.microsoft.c
om/en-us/library/ms143711.aspx
d. Verify that Report Server Status is Started.
e. On the left navigation pane, select Report Manager URL. In the Report Manager Site Identification
section that displays, do the following:
In the URLs field, click the URL to verify that it is valid. Your browser should open the SQL Server
Reporting Services home page.
Open a text editor, such as Notepad, and enter the URL exactly as it is displayed in the URLs field. For
example, your URL may look similar to: http://ServerName:xx/Reports. Save the notepad file. Note
that you will need to enter this URL later when you are adding an Epicor Application Server and
configuring SSRS on the SSRS Configuration > SSRS Base URL field.
f. Click Exit to close the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
6. If you want to create custom reports, verify that you have one of the following installed on the machine
where you plan to customize the reports:
Business Intelligence Development Studio (BI Dev Studio). A component of a Visual Studio installation
that is used to develop reporting service projects.
Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder. A report authoring tool that uses a Microsoft Office-like authoring
environment that is simpler to use than Business Intelligence Development Studio. Note that you should
use Report Builder 2.0 if you use SQL Server 2008 R2 and Report Builder 3.0 if you use SQL Server 2012.
1.7 Verify Temporary Files Do Not Exist

Prior to installing or migrating, use the following steps to clear out any existing temporary folders and files related
to install aware processing. These temporary folders and files may exist due to prior upgrades that were not fully
completed and they may cause your current upgrade to not install properly.

1. Go to your system Temp folder. The location of the Temp folder differs based on your operating system.
To find the location of this folder, you can do one of the following:

process always starts with this base version.
Update Directory. If an update version is available, the application next updates the Epicor application
to use this update.
Custom Directory. The application lastly checks if customizations are available. If custom programs
are in this directory, the Epicor application applies these customizations over the update version and
the base version.
d. Do not click OK yet. You must complete the other tabs before submitting the information. If you click
OK, you may receive a message that your data entry is not complete on the other tabs.
5. In the Application Pool group box, enter the following fields:
a. By default the Application Pool Name uses the value you entered in the Application Name field. You
cannot change this value. This value defines the name of the application pool associated with the new
application server. An application pool defines a group of related URLs that use the same process or set
of processes. The new application server must be placed in an application pool.
b. Use Custom Account. Select this check box when you need to enter a specific user account for the
Internet Information Services (IIS) application pool this application server uses. If you select to use a
custom account, you must also enter the following:
Application Pool Username. Enter the domain and the user account. For example,
MyDomain\UserName.
Application Pool Password Enter the password associated with the user account for this application
pool.
Note If you do not select this check box, the application pool uses a default user account. This
default account depends on whether you use an SSRS server. If you use an SSRS server, the
connection uses the LocalSystem account. This is the default user account available through the
Windows operating system. If you do not use an SSRS server, the connection uses the
ApplicationPoolIdentity account. This is the default user account available through Internet
Information Services (IIS).

database (new or Demo) to which you are adding an application server:
For a new database, enter manager / manager.
For the Demo database, enter epicor / epicor.
Note The password is stored in an encrypted format.
c. Enter the Operation timeout value you want for the application server. This value determines the wait
time until an incomplete operation is stopped by the application server. The default value is 300 seconds.
d. Select or clear the Validate WCF Certificate check box. This indicates whether the client application
and WCF service need to validate their connection through a certificate. If this check box is selected, a
certificate is required for the client installation to communicate with the WCF service.
e. For DNS Identity value, enter the expected DNS server name. There are two scenarios where you need
to enter a value in this field:
UsernameSSLChannel Selected in Endpoint Binding. When authenticating using message-level
or transport-level Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with X.509 certificates, WCF ensures that the certificate
provided during the SSL handshake contains a DNS or Common Name (CN) attribute equal to the
value specified in this field.

Windows Selected in Endpoint Binding. When the service authenticates using message-level or
transport-level SSL with a Windows credential for authentication, and negotiates the credential, then
the negotiation passes the service principal name (SPN) so that the DNS name can be checked. The
SPN is in the form host/<dns name>.
f. In the Epicor Application Launcher group box, select one of the following options to define how you
want to access the client from within the Epicor Administration Console:

configuration fields open and you can then define how this application server interacts with SSRS.
Note If you are not ready to configure your SSRS functionality now, do not select the Configure
SSRS check box. Later when you want to use SSRS reporting functionality, you can update your
application server. To do this, expand Server Management > [server]. Right-click on your application
server and select Application Server Configuration. You can select the SSRS Configuration tab to
define your SSRS settings.

b. Enter the SSRS Base URL for the SSRS Report Server. This value defines the Uniform Resource Locator
(URL) for the server, so enter the web site location that contains it. When you install SQL Server, you set
up this URL and so this value is typically http://<localhost>/ReportServer.
Note To find the value you need to enter in this field, go to the server machine and launch
Reporting Services Configuration Manager. From the tree view, click the Web Service URL icon.
The value you need displays in the Report Server Web Service URLs section. Copy this value into
Notepad or a text editor so you can later paste it into the Application Server window. For example:
http://HVW12AS09:80/ReportServer
c. Optionally, enter the SSRS Root Folder location. This directory defines the root folder location where
you will deploy the reports. For example, enter Epicor if you want the reports to deploy to the
Epicor/Reports folder. If you leave the field blank, this root folder will be the directory that contains the
report server home page file, and the reports will deploy to the /Reports sub-folder in this directory.
9. In the SSRS Database Connection group box, enter the following:
a. In the Server Name field enter the name of the database for the Report Server. The value you enter in
this field depends on how you have set up your system. This database can be:
The same database used by the Epicor application -- Although this set up is not recommended, your
report server database can be the same as your main database.
A separate database on the SQL Server -- This set up method is most common, as the report data
then populates this separate database on the server.
A database on a different SQL Server -- The report data from the Epicor application is sent to another
server dedicated to SSRS report processing. If you are a larger organization, you may set up your
system in this way to improve performance.
b. Click the Authentication drop-down list and select either the Windows Authentication or SQL Server

import into SSRS are located. Keep the default location or click the Browse button to search and select
a different directory path to locate the reports to import. Note that if you are updating the application
server and you do not need to import the SSRS reports, you must clear the Import Reports check box.

b. For the SSRS Location, select the directory that contains the latest SQL Server SSRS ReportServer
installation. Depending on your SQL Server version, this location is similar to the following example
directories. Your specific directory path will be the name your system administrator assigned to the SQL
Server instance during installation.
SQL Server 2012. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
Services\ReportServer
SQL Server 2008 R2. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
Services\ReportServer
If the SSRS server is on a separate machine, enter the UNC path to the ReportServer directory. The current
user account must have permissions to write to this remote directory. Typically this directory is:
\\<RemotePCName>\C$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Note When adding a task agent, you must select the Endpoint Binding for the task agent. This binding
must match what you previously defined in the Setup Environment screen when adding the Epicor
Application Server.
Task agents run against a specific database. To create a task agent, launch the Task Agent Service Configuration
for x.x.x.x program (Where x.x.x.x is the ICE version installed with the service). Use this program to add task
agents that run on either a local machine or a remote machine.
Note that you can install multiple versions of the Task Agent Service Configuration on the same server. Each
version of the service has the ICE version number appended at the end of the program title. For example, you
can have both Task Agent Service Configuration for 3.0.4.0 and Task Agent Service Configuration for 3.0.5.0

installed on the same machine. Through this feature, you can have multiple versions of the service running at
the same time. In the control panel, each instance of the service displays as a separate icon identified by its version
number.
1. Navigate to the Task Agent folder in the path where your Epicor application is installed. For example, go
to C:\Epicor\[product]\[product version]\SupplementalInstalls\Task Agent.
Note If you have installed an update to the base Epicor ERP 10 application, for example, Epicor ERP
10.0.600.x, you must use the updated installer. For example, go to C:\Epicor\[product]\[product
version]\Updates\[update version]\SupplementalInstalls\Task Agent.
2. Double-click the Task Agent Service Installer.exe file to run it. An Epicor Task Agent Service Setup window
appears. Click Next. Your dialog may look similar to the following:
3. In the Choose Folder dialog, select the folder where the Task Agent should be installed. The default path is

x.x.x.x., where x.x.x.x is the ICE version installed with the service.
5. Select whether to create shortcuts for all users of this computer or only for yourself. Click Next.
6. In the Ready to Install dialog, click Next to proceed. The Epicor Task Agent Service is installed.
7. In the confirmation window, click Finish.
8. Verify that the Task Agent Service Configuration opens automatically. If it does not open, navigate to Start
> All Programs > Epicor Software > Epicor Administration Tools > Task Agent Service Configuration
for x.x.x.x > Task Agent Service Configuration (where x.x.x.x is the ICE version installed with the service).

9. To add a task agent service, from File, select New Task Agent. Your dialog may look similar to the following:
10. In the Add Task Agent dialog, enter a unique Name for your Task Agent. For example, ERP10TaskAgent.

11. Enter the AppServer URL to define the URL that connects the task agent to the application server (AppServer).
To locate this URL, you can open the *.sysconfig file for your application and locate the AppServerURL node.
Copy the value from that node to this AppSeverURL field. For example, your AppServer URL may look similar
to the following: net.tcp://<app server name>/ERP10/
Note A correct URL format in the Add Task Agent dialog must end with a / (forward slash) symbol.
Verify that the / symbol is at the end of the AppServer URL.
12. Use the drop-down menu to select the Endpoint Binding for the task agent. This binding must match
what you previously defined in the Setup Environment screen when adding the Epicor Application Server.
13. Enter the Epicor ERP 10 User ID and User Password that the Task Agent uses to access the Epicor application.
Note In addition to the User ID being a valid user for accessing the Epicor application, it must also
have rights to Allow Session Impersonation. Note that you set up your Task Agent User Id using
the steps in the previous section.
14. Select the Operation Timeout value to define how long, in seconds, it takes a server call to generate an
error and fail.
15. If an error occurs, the task agent will try to send the call back to the server. Select the Max Connection
Attempts value to define how many times the task agent will attempt to send the call again.
16. Select the Max Concurrent Tasks value to define how many calls the task agent can send to the application
server at the same time. Change the value to reflect the capacity of your application server.
17. If you selected UsernameSSLChannel for the Endpoint Binding, the following two check boxes become
active:
Validate WCF Certificate. Select this check box to specify that the task agent service must verify that
the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate is valid. If you use a self-signed certificate, do not select this
check box.
DNS Endpoint Identity. Enter the expected Domain Name System (DNS) identity of the server. When
the system runs X509 SSL Certificate authentication, it uses this identity value to validate the server. If
the SSL certificate contains a DNS Endpoint Identity with the same value, the server is valid and can be
accessed by the task agent.
18. When all the fields are complete, verify that the Enabled check box is selected.
19. Click Save. Your Task Agent is now added and enabled. A green icon indicates it is active. Your dialog may
look similar to the following:

Note If a task agent already exists for this application server and you attempt to save, you will receive
an error. To create a new task agent for this database, you must first delete the existing task agent.
After the task agent is removed, repeat these steps.
8.3 Test System and Repeat Installation
Based on your installation process, you are at one of the following points:
If you completed the Epicor 10 installation in a test environment, you are now ready to test the installed Epicor
10 application in that environment. After your testing is complete, you must repeat the entire installation in
your production environment.
If you completed the Epicor 10 installation in your production environment, you are now ready to use the
installed Epicor 10 application in that environment.
Note that while it is possible to install multiple versions of the Epicor application on the same server for testing
purposes, it is not recommended.

8.4 Verify SQL Search Services for Full-Text Search
Use these steps to verify that the Microsoft SQL Search Services are started (running) in order to use full-text
search functionality.
Microsoft Search Service uses Full-Text Catalogs to perform word searches on specific fields in the database.
Full-Text Catalogs are separate files of proprietary data structures, established for the purpose of evaluating
Contains and FreeText queries. These files are not automatically updated along with the rest of the database.
1. To verify that Microsoft SQL Search Service is running on the server, select Start > Control Panel >
Administration Tools > Services.
2. Confirm that the following Services are set:

SQL Server > Started (or Running) > Automatic
SQL ServerAgent > Started (or Running) > Automatic

draft to active for all transaction types being imported. To specify to activate individual XML files instead,
you can select the Activate check box for each file.
9. Select the Import into all companies check box if you want to import the posting rules into each company.
Note that newly created revisions are automatically set to Active in all companies.
10. Click OK to begin the import.
11. You may be prompted with the Book Mapping dialog if any imported revisions contain books with IDs that
do not exist in the company to which you are importing rules. Do the following and click OK:
Specify the mapping to select which book in the company should receive rules from which book in the
import xml file. The import program verifies if the imported rules use segments that don't exist or are
defined with a different name in the receiving book's Chart of Accounts (COA). If such segments exist,
you must either manually select the correct segment of the receiving COA that should be used or specify
that these segments should be assigned new values during the import.
If you want to map the selected book identifier to all transaction types, select the Use for all transaction
types check box.
12. Click Save to save your imported financial data.

Note To copy the rules from one book to another, you can use GL Transaction Type Maintenance.
You create a revision, and then copy both the header and detail rules one at a time into a new book.
Then activate the revision.
11.3 Uplift ODBC Epicor 9.05 Crystal Reports to Epicor ERP 10
All reporting development for Epicor ERP 10 is provided using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS),
and the Epicor provided reports are only shipped for SSRS. But, the Crystal Reports functionality is still available

with Epicor ERP 10. After migrating your Epicor 9.05 database to Epicor ERP 10 you can uplift your Epicor 9.05
Crystal Reports for use with your Epicor ERP 10 application.
Note If you continue to use your Crystal reports be aware that the .rpt (report) files are no longer supported
or maintained in the base Epicor ERP 10 application. Contact Technical Support if you require guidance in
loading the .rpt files into your Epicor ERP 10 application or pointing your custom report styles to your
Crystal forms.
Use the following steps to uplift your existing ODBC Epicor 9.05 Crystal Reports to Epicor ERP 10.
1. Open a Crystal Report .rpt file in Crystal Designer.
2. Create a database. To do this:
a. Click Database Expert from the Database menu.
b. Browse to OLE DB(ADO) and select Make New Connection.
c. Select SQL Server Native Client 11.0 in the provider list. Click Next.
d. Enter Server, User ID, Password, and Database to specify your Epicor ERP database. Click Finish.
3. Set your database source location. To do this:
a. Click Set Database Location.
b. Select a table in the Current Data Source section.
c. In the Replace with field select the datasource that you created in the above steps. Expand the dbo =
Views tree. Verify if the selected table in Current Data Source is listed in the Views tree.
If it is listed, select that table and click Update. Notice that in the Current Data Source the table is
moved to the new Data Source tree.
Note If you click Update and nothing happens, close Crystal Designer and reopen it again.
If it is not listed, expand erp = Tables and select the matching table that you previously selected in
the Current Data Source. Note that in some cases, Crystal cannot map a column and the Map Field
window opens and you have to manually map the column. If the column does not exist, make sure
you did not select Match type. You may need to try several times to match an unmapped field.
Note Typically you must match with the View before you match the table since the View includes
all the Extended Columns. If you are matching against a table and the next table name has the
exact table name plus "_UD", you are matching against the wrong table. In this case you should
match against a View.
d. Repeat the above steps until each table is moved to the new datasource.
4. Click on Preview the report. View the report

Note If you are prompted with a message that "Boolean is required here" change 1 to true and 0
to false to match the datatype used in Epicor ERP 10.

Chapter 12: Resolving Errors
Use this section for information on resolving any error messages.
12.1 Review Error Message Resolutions
Use this section to review error messages that may occur during your Epicor ERP installation and possible resolutions
to those errors.
Error Message Possible Resolution

Access to path is denied During the installation, you may receive this error if the attributes
of the file being processed are read-only.
Assembly binding warning is turned OFF When adding a new application server, you may receive this error
if your server does not have the required roles configured. Refer
to the section "Getting Started > Perform Pre-Installation Steps >
Configure Server Roles" for instructions on configuring your server
roles.
MSDTC on server 'servername' is unavailable Error occurs when a stand-alone instance of Microsoft SQL Server
exists in a cluster environment and is set to start automatically. If
the host node is re-booted, you may receive this error, as the

consider using the 64-bit client since it uses more than 2GB memory
which should avoid memory issues.
System Configuration problem. No default As a post-installation step, you must install and configure the Task
agent defined. Agent.
The authorization credential is expired While performing a search from a client workstation to the Epicor
Web Access server, the time values that are set on the client and
server are not accurate according to the time zone. To resolve, on
the client workstation, go to Start > Control Panel > Date and
Time. Verify that the time is accurate according to the time zone.
On the Epicor Web Access server, go to Start > Control Panel >
Date and Time. Verify that the time is accurate according to the
time zone.
12.2 Create Electronic Interface for Intrastat Reporting
If you use the Intrastat export processes, such as Generic or Iris, you need to create an Electronic Interface for
Intrastat Reporting defining the format.
Note If you are installing either UK or German Country Specific (CSF)Functionality Pack, and want to use
the new specific export formats provided for those countries, see the CSF guides for separate instructions.

1. Navigate to Financial Management > Accounts Payable > Setup > Electronic Interface.
2. From the New menu, select New Interface.
3. Enter an Interface name. For example, enter Intrastat.
4. In the Type field, select Intrastat Reporting.
5. Click the Program button to search for your Intrastat file. Navigate to the \server\ERP\ei folder and then
select one of the following report files:
Generic format: \IntraStatExport_GENERIC\IntraStatExport_GENERIC.cs
Iris format: \IntraStatExport_IRIS\IntraStatExport_IRIS.cs
6. Enter a Description. For example, enter Intrastat.
7. Click Save and exit Electronic Interface Maintenance.
12.3 Verify Specific Folders are Not Read-Only
Use these steps to verify that the Client, ClientServer and Server folders are not read-only. These folders need to
have write access so that files can be added to them during the installation.
1. Go to the location where your Epicor 10 application is installed. For example, go to C:\Epicor\ERP10.
2. Right-click on the Client folder. Select Properties.
3. On the General tab, clear the Read-Only check box. Click Apply.
4. The Confirm Attribute Changes dialog appears. The Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and
files option is selected by default. Click OK. Click OK to exit the Client Properties folder.
5. Repeat the previous steps for the ClientServer and Server folders.
Note For 64-bit installations, the ClientServer folder is located in the \Epicor\ERP10\32 directory.
12.4 Transaction Failed Due to Processing Time Out
During transaction processing, if you receive an error in your transaction log similar to "Transaction Failed;
Processing Time Out" it means your transaction was not processed because it exceeded the maximum amount
of time allotted for processing. This error may happen if you attempted to process too much data at one time
and the processing time exceeded the default setting of five minutes. If you need to process large amounts of
data, you may consider editing the web.config file to increase the time allowed by modifying the configuration
setting that defines time out values for processing transactions.
1. Open your web.config. file. To do this:
a. Start IIS Manager.
b. Navigate to your Epicor application server virtual directory. For example, ERP100600.
c. Right-click on the folder and select Explore to open Windows Explorer.

d. Open the web.config file in the root of the folder that opens. For example, go to
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ERP100600\Server.
2. Locate the <system.transactions> node in the <configuration> section. Your file may look similar to the
following:
<system.transactions>
<defaultSettings timeout="00:05:00" />
</system.transactions>
</configuration>
3. Edit the <defaultSettings timeout="00:05:00"> which defaults to five minutes. You can increase this
value up to ten minutes (00:10:00).
Note This maximum transaction length value is superceded by the value set in the machine.config
file. By default, the value in the machine.config is 10 minutes.
4. If you require more time than 10 in the <system.transactions> value, you can modify the machine.config
file. But be aware that modifying the setting in the machine.config file changes the maximum timeout values
for all transaction processing on the server. To do this:
a. Log onto your server. Your User Id must have elevated administrator privileges.
b. Navigate to the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config or to the

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config folder.
c. With a text editor, open the machine.config file.

Note The machine.config file only lists settings that differ from the pre-defined defaults. If a
setting is not listed, it means the default is being used. If you want to change a default, you will
need to add the key element and specify the value.
d. With a text editor, open the machine.config file.
e. Locate the <configuration> section.
f. In the <configSections> section, locate the system.transactions section group.
g. Add the allowExeDefinition="MachineToApplication" ending in the machineSettings section name

element. Your file may look similar to the following:
</sectionGroup>
<sectionGroup name="system.transactions"
type="System.Transactions.Configuration.TransactionsSectionGroup,
System.Transactions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, Custom=null">
<section name="defaultSettings"
type="System.Transactions.Configuration.DefaultSettingsSection,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, Custom=null"/>
<section name="machineSettings"
type="System.Transactions.Configuration.MachineSettingsSection,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, Custom=null" allowDefinition="MachineOnly"
allowExeDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
</sectionGroup>
h. In the <configuration> section, add the <system.transactions> section if it does not exist.

i. In the <system.transactions> section, add the <machineSettings maxTimeout > element if it is not
already listed. The default maxTimeOut value is "00:10:00", which is 10 minutes. Change the default
max timeout to the appropriate value needed for your transaction load. For example, to change the 10
minutes to 3 hours, use maxTimeout = "03:00:00". Your file may look similar to the following:
<system.transactions>
<machineSettings maxTimeout="03:00:00"/>
</system.transactions>
j. Save and close the file.
k. Open the web.config file. Set the <system.transactions> value to match the timeout value that you
just set in the machine.config file. Save and close the web.config file.
12.5 MRP Processing and Job Scheduling Fail Due to WCF Operation Timeout
If you cannot run an MRP process or schedule a job, it means your WCF operation exceeds the maximum amount
of time allotted for processing. This error may happen if you attempt to process too much data at one time and
the processing time exceeds the default timeout setting. If you need to process large amounts of data, you may
consider increasing the time allowed by modifying the configuration setting that defines time out values for WCF
operations.
Important Modifying this setting changes the maximum timeout values for all WCF operations on the
server.
1. Use a text editor to open the *.sysconfig file. In a standard installation, the file is located in the
C:\Epicor\ERP10\ERP10.0.xxx\ClientDeployment\Client\Config directory. In the file, locate the
<appSettings> section.
2. in the <appSettings> section, locate the <Timeout for WCF operations> entry and change the value to
7200. Your file may look similar to the following:


<OperationTimeOut value="7200" />
3. Save and close the file.
4. In the root of the Epicor application server virtual directory, locate the web.config file. Use a text editor to
open the file.
5. In the <customBinding> section, change the sendTimeout and receiveTimeout values to 12:00:00. Your
file may look similar to the following:
<customBinding>
<binding name="TcpCompressedUsernameSslChannel"
receiveTimeout="12:00:00" sendTimeout="12:00:00">
<CompressionEncoder>
<binaryMessageEncoding>
<readerQuotas maxDepth="50" maxArrayLength="2147483647"
maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" />
</binaryMessageEncoding>
</CompressionEncoder>
<security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport" />
<sslStreamSecurity />
<tcpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
maxBufferSize="2147483647" transferMode="Buffered" />

</binding>
<binding name="TcpCompressedWindows" receiveTimeout="12:00:00"

sendTimeout="12:00:00">
<windowsStreamSecurity />
</binding>
<binding name="TcpCompressedUsernameWindowsChannel"
receiveTimeout="12:00:00" sendTimeout="12:00:00">
<security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport"/>
<windowsStreamSecurity/>
</binding>
</customBinding>
6. Save and close the file.
12.6 Known Issue with Turkish Format Culture Display

When the Format Culture is set to Turkish, several items display incorrectly and you may get an unhandled
exception error that causes the application to become unstable. To resolve the unhandled exception error, you
can set the Format Culture to German in order to use the formats for that language instead. To do this:
1. Open your Epicor 10 application. Navigate to System Management > Company Maintenance > User.
2. Enter or browse for a specific User.
3. In the Format Culture field, select German. Keep the Language set to Turkish.
4. Save the record. Close the application.

Note While this change resolves most of the issues, it also causes a minor issue with a Crystal Reports
tool bar that cannot be resolved. The reports are now formatted and displayed correctly in Turkish
culture, but the issue may appear in the report tool bar where several icons and text are displayed in
German.
