How does this affect customers with SDK licenses? Last I checked, at least of some of the tools for this were not available in the cloud environment (the SDK Service Designer comes to mind).

All that is offered in SaaS is the “Cloud SDK” which is limited.
New tables and basic CRUD BOs.

How does that differ from the on prem version (which I was shopping for)

The old “on prem” SDK lets you have full business object from end and back end. The new Cloud friendly SDK only supports CRUD BOs (think UD01 table).
While the old one you could write your own entire BO with all related methods and a full client support.

I don’t believe it does. The SDK used to be a lot more back in the day, but that has been long gone. It was stripepd down to custom tables and BO for those tables some time ago. I think that’s mostly parity.

Pity, that’s what I was looking for. Good info, thanks!

I will say everything can still be done but it requires functions and other supplemental things outside of just the SDK.
But I do love and use the new Cloud SDK, however we have 25 custom old SDK BO’s that are effectivelly not supported in SaaS at all which means our multi-million dollar investment needs to be re-done.

We are on prem and our owner is pretty adamant about owning his own data. I wonder how many small companies will buy the on prem SDK license and then stay on 2027.2 and walk away from support. We ran 9.05 for 15 years unsupported until we ran out of MS server 2012 support. I retire in a few years and then its someone else’s circus.

I agree. I am fully in the cloud. I wish their Announcements about outage, updates, etc. contained more detail. They are just general statements that leave us customers wondering if it was meant for us or not. Thanks for pointing this out.

The A&D product from Cre8tive does not address any of these - it’s just some additional functionality within Kinetic.

Can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said above. Just disappointed, we stayed onprem because it was estimated ~$180k/yr cheaper than SaaS cloud last year. $1350/mo for a replication server felt like an insult.

That guy who went off to build his own ERP - he should be done now? Now would be a good time to release it with so many people searching for a new on-prem ERP.

Remember when (3 weeks ago) @josecgomez tracked down the pack slip issue in the newest version at the time (aka the cloud users’ version)?
The way I read that, he could do that only because he was on prem.
I am scared of the day when nobody can see what the problem is and we have to rely on Epicor to figure it out.

He seems to have disappeared. Makes me wonder if Big ERP had him disappeared.

Actually, I just hope they hire @josecgomez and some of the others here.
