Sage, Power, Virtual Servers

For S100C users that log into the Sage Server, usually to launch the Sage Database Admin tool to run the Tune Up, Archive a prior Fiscal Year, or to Archive Payroll (coming in a few months!), the Sage tool that checks the power seems to be missing a few lines of code.

The Database Admin program does not correctly read the power plans on the virtual machines (VM’s) in the Azure hosting environment. Sometimes you’ll see a warning telling you about a power issue and asking you to take action.

Azure VM’s in our hosting environment are ALWAYS configured with high performance, always on a power plan. Answering ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the pop-up notice doesn’t actually do anything. We get this question from users with Database Admin access. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Sage is mis-reading the info; your environment is safe and fully powered! – CMW
