Original KB number:   871699

Symptoms

When you create a company by using Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities, you may receive the following error message:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PKSY60100'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.SY60100'.

Additionally, you may receive the following error message in the Dexsql.log file:

/*

BEGIN
DECLARE @stored_proc_name char(34)
DECLARE @retstat int
DECLARE @param2 int
set nocount on
SELECT @stored_proc_name = 'Database_name.dbo.smGrantAccessForDboAndSa'
EXEC @retstat = @stored_proc_name Number, @param2 OUT SELECT @retstat, @param2 set nocount on
END

/* [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PKSY60100'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.SY60100'.*/

/* [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The statement has been terminated.*/

Cause

This problem occurs because the database owner of the DYNAMICS database is not DYNSA. Additionally, the database owner may be the same as the current user. The smGrantAccessForDboAndSa stored procedure inserts two records into the SY_User_Company_Access_REL (SY60100) table. One record refers to the current user, and the other record refers to the database owner. Typically, the two users are sa and DYNSA. If the database owner for the DYNAMICS database is the same as the current user, the stored procedure tries to insert the same user two times. The second Insert statement generates the error message about the primary key violation.

Resolution

1. Start the Support Administrator Console, Microsoft SQL Query Analyzer, or SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, use one of the following methods depending on the program that you are using.

   • For SQL Server 2000

     If you are using SQL Server 2000, start SQL Query Analyzer. To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Query Analyzer.

   • For SQL Server 2005

     If you are using SQL Server 2005, start SQL Management Studio. To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

   • For SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2

     If you are using SQL Server 2008, start SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

   • For SQL Server 2012

     If you are using SQL Server 2012, start SQL Management Studio. to do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2012, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

2. Verify that the DYNSA user is the owner of the correct databases.

   To verify that the DYNSA user is the owner of the correct databases yourself, follow these steps:

   1. Run the following statement and make sure that DYNSA is listed as the owner for the DYNAMICS database and all Microsoft Dynamics GP companies.

      sp_helpdb
      

   2. If DYNSA is not listed as the owner of the Microsoft Dynamics GP databases, run the following statement against the databases that have to change the owner to DYNSA.

      sp_changedbowner 'DYNSA'
      

3. To delete the company from Microsoft Dynamics GP or from Microsoft Great Plains, follow these steps:

   1. Run the following statement.

      SELECT * FROM MASTER..SYSDATABASES
      

   2. If the database is listed in the results, delete the database by running the following statement.

      DROP DATABASE **XXX**
      

      Note

      Replace XXX with the database name.
