The Selected Company is not configured as a company of the current Microsoft Dynamics GP system database

I did a backup and restore today of a Dynamics GP database to a test company (like I've done many times before) and got this message:

 

The Selected Company is not configured as a company of the current Microsoft Dynamics GP system database. Grrr. My friend Steve Groh from S2Technology helped me with the answer.

This knowledge base article addresses the issue:

 But for documentation's sake I'm going to post the main part of it here:

After you complete the restore process, the COMPANYID information and the INTERID information in the test company match the COMPANYID information and the INTERID information in the live company. This information must be updated to reflect the COMPANYID information and the INTERID information correctly in the test company. Run the following script in Support Administrator Console or in SQL Server Management Studio against the test company to update the COMPANYID information and the INTERID information

if exists (select 1 from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME = 'SY00100') begin
  declare @Statement varchar(850)
  select @Statement = 'declare @cStatement varchar(255)
declare G_cursor CURSOR for
select case when UPPER(a.COLUMN_NAME) in (''COMPANYID'',''CMPANYID'')
  then ''update ''+a.TABLE_NAME+'' set ''+a.COLUMN_NAME+'' = ''+ cast(b.CMPANYID as char(3))
  else ''update ''+a.TABLE_NAME+'' set ''+a.COLUMN_NAME+'' = ''''''+ db_name()+'''''''' end
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS a, '+rtrim(DBNAME)+'.dbo.SY01500 b
  where UPPER(a.COLUMN_NAME) in (''COMPANYID'',''CMPANYID'',''INTERID'',''DB_NAME'',''DBNAME'')
    and b.INTERID = db_name() and COLUMN_DEFAULT is not null
 and rtrim(a.TABLE_NAME)+''-''+rtrim(a.COLUMN_NAME) <> ''SY00100-DBNAME''
  order by a.TABLE_NAME
set nocount on
OPEN G_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
begin
  exec (@cStatement)
  FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
end
close G_cursor
DEALLOCATE G_cursor
set nocount off'
  from SY00100
  exec (@Statement)
end
else begin
  declare @cStatement varchar(255)
  declare G_cursor CURSOR for
  select case when UPPER(a.COLUMN_NAME) in ('COMPANYID','CMPANYID')
    then 'update '+a.TABLE_NAME+' set '+a.COLUMN_NAME+' = '+ cast(b.CMPANYID as char(3))
    else 'update '+a.TABLE_NAME+' set '+a.COLUMN_NAME+' = '''+ db_name()+'''' end
  from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS a, DYNAMICS.dbo.SY01500 b
    where UPPER(a.COLUMN_NAME) in ('COMPANYID','CMPANYID','INTERID','DB_NAME','DBNAME')
      and b.INTERID = db_name() and COLUMN_DEFAULT is not null
    order by a.TABLE_NAME
  set nocount on
  OPEN G_cursor
  FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
  WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
  begin
    exec (@cStatement)
    FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
  end
  close G_cursor
  DEALLOCATE G_cursor
  set nocount off
end
 

Verify that the owner of the TEST database is DYNSA by executing the following script against the TEST database in Support Administrator Console.

 

sp_changedbowner 'DYNSA'
