Business One add-on and Netweaver

Hi all,
I am developping an add-on for SAP business One and I would like to know if it is possible to use Web Services (via NetWeaver) to connect a Client to this add-on.Is there any documentation which deals with this topic?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
f b

Hi f b,
I am not sure what you try to do?
I understand that you develop an Add-On for SAP B1.
I understand that you want to use whatever Web Service in addition to that.
The second question has IMHO nothing to do with the fact that you use an Add-On - or I am missing something.
In case your question is related to integration between SAP B1 and SAP NetWeaver, I would suggest that you ask the question in the new forum about the new "SAP Business One Integration ...":
Busines One Integration Technology (B1i) forum!!!!
In case your question is to directly access some Web Service through SAP Netweaver you might consider to find the appropriate forum in that area.
Regards,
Frank

Cannot start widget - Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started

Dear Experts .
I'm trying to enable widget for my company db but getting the following error :
Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started; then wait 1 minute and try again
I can connect to the B1iF locally and remotely .
I have the db configured in the SLD and connects successfully .
I have the event sender service and proxy started and configured for the company db.
I can access the Dashboard web portal and login with database sap credentials (but I see nothing there)
I've checked that there are no duplicate entries in the SSLD table for SBO common (note : 1619422)
I've also tried to re-activate the xelcious from the B1iF->control.
My Setup :
I'm runing SBO server, B1iF installed locally and B1iSN installed on a 3rd party server.
I'm using B1iF as even forwarder for B1iSN.
I know this has been discussed many times through out the forum and I've tried most of the stuff other than clean install.
I would appreciate any input before removing B1iF completely and re-installing.
Thanks in advance ,
Nadav.

Business One T-Installation and Contract differences

Dear All,
What are the differences between Business One T-Installation and Contract ? Where could I find the file explain about it ?
TIA
Rgd,
Steve

I am sure that there is no specific different that will give bad influence for the customers of SAP B1.
I suggest you to ask the sales or marketing dept. It seems that they could know it more detail about it or asking SAP support can also be helpful

Business One, Terminal Server, and SQL Server on the same machine

Hi,
We have a customer who has a machine with Win Server 2003 R2. They are using it as a Terminal Server with Business One for multiple users and as a SQL Server. The have memory leakage issues which they believe are caused by our add-on, which, when it fails, has over a gig of ram allocated to it. Our add-on was created using VB .NET 2005 and should be able to depend on the GC to prevent memory leaks. Is there something about this approach that is problematic? Should they have SQL Server on one machine and terminal server with Business One on a different machine?
Thanks,
Mike

we have many customers that have this situation. all on one server.
the only thing that i recommend is that the server has POWER !
4 Gigabyte RAM should be minimum and the server should have 2 quadcore processor. -> this results in 8 cores and enough power.
regards
David

Business One user license and connected users

Where in Business One, either application or SQL database, can I see all the license assignments for all the companies? If a user exists in one company but not another I have to search through both (or multiple) companies to see who has what type of license. License assignment spans companies, right? So is there a table in SBO-Common where this info is stored?
Also, where can I see current users logged in to what companies? Is a value set in the company database in ousr or someplace else.
TIA
-Cindy Lange

Hello Cindy,
There is no specific table to see the license assignment either in common database or not. you could consider to use this path :
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\B1Upf.xml
to see the current user logged in to a certain company.

& also RG 23C account is to be determined in Purchase--> Tax tab in same path.
Also if you have not made the Item in Item Master data as excisable then you cannot use excise code for that item in either Purchase or Sale.
if you have made the item as excisable & not selected tax code as excisable then also it will prompt that you have not selected excisable code for excisable item.
The Error No Matching records found in G/L means all accounts in G/L Account determination has not been defined.(the path is given above)
These answers are relevant for SAP B1 2005B PL 05 as in Indian Localization

Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

Dear community,
I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
- The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights. As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
- End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator. This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
Question 1:
Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
Question 2:
Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
Question 3:
If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
Thank you
Best regards
Jan Ruzarovsky
SAP Business One Product Management

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
@Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
Questions:
If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
- Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
- Can you configure such a shared directory?
From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
2. Automatic update:
- Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
- If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
Best regards
Jan

SAP Business One in SAP NetWeaver Portal?

Hi,
We have a customer that will implement SAP Business One for their backoffice.
They want a package solution for their internet and extranet (clients and suppliers). The extranet will access SAP Business One.
We are considering to implement SAP NetWeaver Portal for the extranet.
Do you think this is possible? What about SSO?
Tahnk you all,
Olivier Marques.

Olivier,
I am not sure about the SAP NetWeaver Portal. You may want to ask that question in the NetWeaver Discussion Forum.
With respect to the SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver product ... this technology is not providing a portal in which to access SAP Business One from a web interface. The SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver is a technology that seamlessly integrates SAP Business One with mySAP with respect to the integration of transactions and master data flow between the two systems from a headquarters/subsidiary(s) standpoint.

How to run SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows and use MaxDB on linux/W

Good day,
As the subject shows we have SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 and I want to find out how to use it in combination with MaxDB instead of MS SQL. I find a lot of MaxDB stuff on the net but no guides on how to setup SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows workstations and connect them to MaxDB.
Is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it ?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated .

Hi,
I suggest you to check the supported server for B1 in this link:
http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/platforms
You will know the sap b1 supported platform.
If you really want to use maxDB on linux/W as B1 server, you can send a development request to SAP AG.

Business One 2005 in the US and license model

Hello,
I'd like to know if there is a difference between Business One in Europe and Business One in the US.
As far as I know it's the same cluster (A) so it's the same version right ?
is there a difference on the license mechanism ? it it license per seat (10 licenses = 10 user) or license sequential (10 licenses = 10 people can use at the same time, but it can be more than 10 users)
Thank you

Sébastien
The Licensing is based on Named Users. 10 licenses = 10 users.
I don't think there is any difference in licensing between US and Europe.

Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
Let's start with the software versions:
- Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
- SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
- Windows XP SP3
(SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
- I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
- I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
- I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
- I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
Logon Failed.
Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
(On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

Hi,
When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
Best regards,
Darius

Business One Client - Automating DB login..

Hi, my apologies if this is the wrong area to post this, please feel free to move to the correct section if here is incorrect.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to setup the SAP client so that a new user doesn't have to enter (or have entered) the Database server, and SA username/password before they get the choice of companies.
Currently, we are running the client on a terminal server, yet if a new user connects, someone has to configure/enter the db servername and username/password.
I'd like to be able to set it up so that when a new user logs in (and their profile is automatically created), that they are automatically connected to the correct database server within the Sap Business One client.
I've had a look in the %userprofile%\Local Settings\Sap... folder, and a quick poke around in the registry, but I can't find where it saves the information so I can either replicate it for the default user profile, or add a regmerge on login to enter it.
Can anyone help?

I'm not sure what you mean, the checking feature is a fairly standard thing for script files, to ensure it's only been run once. Ie, you don't want it running every time they login in case it modifies something unexpectedly.
As for it needing security proceedures, as far as I can tell, there are none, that automatically configures the Database Server it will connect to, and enters automatically the SA username and password for every single new user that connects to the server.
If I was going to have my security hat on, I'd be concearned about it, but since we limit access to the terminal server by usergroup, it's only authorised SAP users that are able to log on in the first place, and since our SAP consultants usual proceedure is to then enter the SA username and password for them manually, and configure the DB server, this is no different. (Except now she doesn't have to anymore).
Anyway! for those that are interested, I changed it slightly, now there are no manual xml creation steps.
I simply take a generic XML file, and modify it with a vbs script using a batch file that runs on user login.
Here's the batch file:
SET Logfile="C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\SAP\SAP Business One\SB1Customised.log"
IF EXIST %Logfile% GOTO END
ECHO DATE /T >> %Logfile% & Time /T >> %Logfile%
cscript "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\SAP\SAP Business One\replace.vbs" "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\SAP\SAP Business One\b1-current-user.xml" "%%Username%%" "%Username%"
:END
Heres the vb script:
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
strFileName = Wscript.Arguments(0)
strOldText = Wscript.Arguments(1)
strNewText = Wscript.Arguments(2)
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFileName, ForReading)
strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, strOldText, strNewText)
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFileName, ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close
Save that as "replace.vbs" and put it in the Default User -> Sap Business One directory.
And thankyou for all your help!

Know more detail about the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One ?

SAP Business One 9.1 is about to release this year and we can see in the feature enhancements that a significant update is planned in the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One, more commonly known as RSP. Let’s have a quick look what update is planned for RSP in version 9.1:
Enhancements planned in Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One 9.1
RSP is planned to support both SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server as well as SAP Business One on HANA Database
RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both   on SQL Server and HANA.
But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
Company Database Backup and Restore options
Regular fixes of Company Database inconsistencies
Check, Download and Install regular updates in SAP Business One
Upload Logs and required files to SAP Support or to Partner Support on regular basis
Some details about RSP Backup Management
Schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups
Perform differential and full database backups
Back up transaction logs
Back up files to shared folders on a network
System Status Report through RSP
From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from Remote Support Platform (RSP) for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etc).
Database uploads only via RSP
From June 1st 2013 SAP Business One Support will only accept database uploads to SAP via remote support platform for SAP Business One. In certain exceptional circumstances STFP may be used but this will constitute a minority of cases.
Microsoft Windows PowerShell Scripting
In the remote support platform studio, you can create tasks using Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting. PowerShell enables you to perform remote administrative tasks on customers’ Microsoft Windows operating systems, by providing full access to Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).Some Network Prerequisite for RSP
To achieve the internet connection test, you must allow port 80 for the RSP external communication
Disabling antivirus firewall or add the RSP to the trusted zone of the antivirus
Set the correct proxy
Disabling Windows firewall in the TP_link Wireless Configuration Utility
