Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
Thanks.

Hi Alejandro,
That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
Thanks

Addon not loading - B1 Usability Package for all users in SAP Business One

Hello, I am a new admin to SAP B1 and am about to go live in a few weeks. We are running SAP Business One v. 8.80.227.
Envirorment details: Dedicated server for SAP database, and Terminal Server for remote connections.
I have a demo group of users in Active Directory that have permission to Remote Desktop to the TS and load SAP. For now, theses users are local admins on the TS. ( Permissions to be revised once addon issues are worked out ). I am the companies tech, and we have a SAP implementation company leading the project development.
Currently the addons that we are running are CRSB1Addon SAP 8.8 and B1UP from boyumit.
For one of the users in the Active Directory Security Group all the addon's work great. However the other users get the error below;
When logging in the system message window shows the following:
Failed to assign SAP Business One user license to SAP Add-ons. The Add on is configured to automatically load on startup, yet once I get the error, I open the Add on Manager and I don't see the B1UP in either tab at all.
The error on the TS in the log is here:

hello Ken - Boyum IT has its own License Administration - path of Administration > Add Ons > B1 Usability Package > License Administration...
Do all of the users have a checkmark to give them access???
When a user has only the Main Menu window open, select the "Form Settings" icon and follow the same path on the Form Settings window that is diplayed and make sure they have checkmarks next to the B1 Usability Package to be "Visible".
Are all of the user set to display Boyum IT on their machines???
LOL - I am not technical so I have no idea what that other stuff means...
Hope that helps...

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

Set up a template for sales quotes in SAP Business One.

I would like a sales quotation template to contain the same 10 items so that I do not have to enter the items each time. What is the best way to do this? Is there any sales quotation template in SAP for this?
I am using SAP Business One 2007A SP0 PL49 and B1UP.

You may use Draft function to make your own template for Sales Quotes.

How to create Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007

Hi,
When I create my Add-On into SBO I have some issues.
Which program do I use to create an Add-On into SBO?
Is there a URL or Path where I find the program?
I am using a 2003 program which is built by my colleague.
I assume SAP provide the Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007
Thank you,
Rune

Rune,
At a high level ...
1) VS2005
2) Compile your program
3) Generate and Add-on Identifier
4) Create a registration datafile
5) Create the setup program consisting of your .EXE and the .ARD file
6) Add-On is created and running in SBO
Again ... the details on deploying and packaging your add-on can be found in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation and the SDK eLearning.
Also, you can use B1DE using the Simple Installer or Professional Installer will do most of the work for you after you have coded the add-on.

How to add drop down list for query manager report in sap business one

Hi Every one,
I need drop down list for parameter selection in sap business one Query Manager.I have two Parameters 'Sales Order','Invoice'.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards
DEV

Hi,
you need to use this :
/*select from [dbo].[OINV] T2*/
DECLARE @Invoice varchar(100)
/*where*/
set @Invoice =/* T2.DocNum */N'[%2]'
you can change the tables and the parameter number but you have to write it exactly that way.
when you run the query within the SBO you will get list of objects ( in this case list of invoices)
hope it was helpful

Cannot reinstall SAP Business One 32 Bit Client program

Hi Everyone,
I started with a computer which had SAP Business One Clients (32 & 64 Bit versions) installed, along with the DTW (Data Transfer Workbench). I have since uninstalled both Business One clients, and am now wanting to reinstall the 32 Bit Client (only).
When I double click on the Setup.exe file I am presented with the message below -
I don't understand why I am presented with this message given that I have uninstalled the software.
In addition to uninstalling the software through the Windows (7) Control Panel, I have also manually deleted all files and folders related to Business One (using a Windows Search), with the exception of those files related to the DTW, and finally deleted all TEMP files.
If I click on Cancel the setup stops, but if I click on OK I see the following -
When I click on OK, above, I see the following -
What can I do now to fully remove all traces of the previous Client installations so that I can reinstall the 32 Bit Client?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Hi Everyone,
Firstly I now have an 'S-User ID', so I have access to SAP Resources.
Secondly, thank you Sridharan for posting the information to this thread, it is a great help (particularly given that I wasn't sure how long it would take my provider to organise an S-User ID).
Thirdly; these are the actions I have taken - none have helped!
Attempted installation in the 'hidden' Windows Administrator account
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/
THE FOLLOWING COME FROM THE OFFICIAL SAP 'FIX' (as shown above in Sridharan's post)
1). Tried both points, a), and b), in the InstallShield link -
http://consumerdocs.installshield.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q108474&sliceId=1
However I could not proceed with point 3), because by my reckoning the SAP Business One Client that I am using relies upon Installshield 17 (and there is no link available for this version!).
If I am incorrect about the above can somebody please let me know which version of Installshield was used, and I will then return to point c) of the Installshield 'Q108474' link.
2). Microsoft C++ 2005 is not installed on the computer.
3). Registry entries did not exist, and I am going to assume where removed when I performed a registry clean with Registry Mechanic (before posting this thread).
I have downloaded a trial version of Installshield Enterprise, and I am hopeful that it will contain a version 17 driver file, in which case I will return to 'Q108474'.
In the meantime however if anybody has any further suggestions can you please post?
I really don't want to reinstall Windows just because one program will not load.
Kind Regards,
David

SAP Business One 8.8. Report doesn't show and workstation doesn't respond.

Hi all,
We have a customer with:
SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.237) PL: 19 HOTFIX1.
Sql Server 2005
Crystal Reports 12.1.3.1028
We have done some reports wich run under server machine but not under workstation.
Even i've done a dummy report without any data connection and it doesn't run under workstation (server machine works perfectly). This dummy report only show a label with static text "Hola".
We don't receive any error message, SAP Business One client doesn't respond and in task manager you can see "not responding" message.
SAP support connected to our customer installation and they suggested us formatting workstations computers. We did it but the problem persists. Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Nauzet Díaz

Hi,
In this case, why you not responded to SAP for their suggestion of formatting the workstation?
If you unfortunately closed the old support ticket, then just raise a new support ticket with reference of the old one too.

Bala

Package for InCopy and Email

I am having trouble with "Package for InCopy and Email" in CS6 on a Mac 10.6.8. My default email is Outlook 2011. I get a blank message window when I try use this option. I end up manually creating the assignment and emailing it. But I would prefer for the email window to open with the package automatically attached. It started happening when I upgraded to CS5.5 and also upgraded from Entourage to Outlook email app. Any thoughts to resolve this issue?

Adobe didn’t say anything, I did. And I didn’t say it was Microsoft, I said it sounded like an issue with the email program.
Where does that leave you? Looking for the cause.
Does any other program cause this? Do you have Acrobat installed? Try to attach a PDF to an email and see if it works.
