SAP Business One 8.8 Database

I am using SAP Business One 8.8.
In the middle of working in SBO 8.8, it suddenly shut down. When I tried to log in again, the list of companies dissapeared. Seems like there's no database connection. The server and database (Ms SQL server) seem to be up and running. We turn off and on Ms SQL server and it seemed to work now.
According to our source, it indicated this has something to do with the policy in Ms SQL Server. Apparently, we took some companies within the database online and offline. This somehow trigger to lock the 'sa' access and disconnect the database. How do I prevent this from happening again? If this has to post in a different forum, i.e. Ms SQL Server, i will post there accordingly. Thanks.

Hi Gordon,
I checked the log files and it seems like user 'sa' was trying to access the database numerous times. This somehow trigger the Ms SQL Server policy and completely locked out ALL companies in the database. No one is using sa in the company.
The only thing I can think of is when I test crystal report, it prompted 'sa' by default at the database login screen. I normally select 'integrated security' to bypass that screen. However, I was doing that for the past few months and never had problems until yesterday. The 'blank' screen of company list has happened twice.
In SQL Server, I checked off 'enforce password security' for user sa. Will that be enough to fix the problem?

SAP Business One and Moving Database Issue

We are in the process of moving our PROD system to a new server. The server runs MS SQL 2005. We installed SAP Business One and by default the demo databases went to the C Drive (C:/Program Files/MS SQL Server/..../Data). The SQL Server that exists has data on D partition and logs on E partition. We therefore dettach the database, copy the files to the correct locations, and reattach.
Now, however, the SAP Business One application no longer finds the Company or Demo databases. Is there any way to fix this?
Cheers John

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

Unable to open 2007B database in SAP Business One version 8.8

Hi Experts,
We are in the process of upgrading one of our client from SAP Business one 2007B PL13 to SAP Business One 8.8. While trying to open the client's live database in 8.8, system throws a message "You cannot upgrade company databases from SAP Business One client. Use the Upgrade CD or contact your IT administrator for the upgrade". Plz guide me on how can I open the DBs used in 2007B in 8.8??
Regards,
Madhavan

Hi
I thiink your database is not updated ..Install client in your server and try with opening up ..
It will probably ask you to back up the database and upgrade ...
If not ,uninstall everything thing ..instead of having new installation ,download the upgrade version and see if resolves your issue
Hope this helps

What is the biggest SAP Business One database you have ever seen?

Hi All
I'm trying to determine what capabilities of how big a SAP Business One database can become without it becomming to slow to work with... The reason for this question is that have a customer with a database of 27GB ... The customer have only been in production for one year, but because they roughly place 1500 sales orders each day the growth rate is big...
So the question is simple how many GB is your largest customer and how does the system manage?

Hi Rasmus,
I'd agree with the above, the overall size isn't as important as the hardware that they are using. I've seen a 75GB database system which was suffering badly because they hadn't specc'd the disk I/O correctly although memory and CPU were fine (we didn't spec this, it was a site we were called in to help on when they started having issues). Of course, a larger database is going to have other issues (eg backup and restore times, patch upgrade times etc) and you'd probably want to be more proactive on database maintenance than on a smaller database (eg you don't want to have autogrow kicking in during the day so you'd need to make sure that there is sufficient space in the database at all times).
If you are concerned about database size then one option is to clear the history tables. This can reduce the database up to 50% but, of course, you'll lose the change history.
Database archiving is still rumoured to be coming out in the next version.
Kind Regards,
Owen

"No data" in SAP Business One

Hi,
We have encountered the following issue.
Using the SAP mobile application (version 1.1.3 (Android) - 1.9.6 iOS)), we connect successfully to database but when we try to open the Business Partners and Items, a "No Data" message appears.
If I insert a BP in mobile, the SAP Business One show these BP that I insert, but in the App I have the message "No data".
What could be causing that?
Thank you everyone

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...

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

SAP Business One on Ipad

Dear All,
I installed SAP Business One 8.81 PL04 (on Server) and SQL server 2005.
My questions are
1) i install B1 integration component, when i am opening the integration framework i am getting a windows security dialog box in which it is mentioned that "The server 127.0.0.0 at B1iP_dummy requires a user name and password.
Warning: The server is requesting that your user name and password be sent in the insecure mannar(basic authentication without a secure connection.
User Name :B1iadmin
Password:xxxxxx
Here my question is that if i provide username and password, Integration Solution for SAP Business One is opened but is not reflecting any data when i am clicking on SLD, Scnarios, Maintaining, Control Centre.......etc.
2) I want to connect to the server through the ipad.
I put the user as mobile user, i have given UDID number of Ipad, phone no of mobile user in SAP Business One.
I have given the server details like IP add: 000.000.000.000:8080 and kept SSL On and given DB Name as SBODemoIN and username as 'ABC'.
When i am entering the password it is reflecting me an error "an ssl error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. [-1200]'.
I want to know where i have done the mistake.
Note: i tried by giving ip with B1 port number like : 000.000.000.000:30000 again its reflecting same error.
Can any body help me out.

Lets try to keep it together ...
1.) in SAP Business One you have to set the following settings for the user you want to connect with
a.) checkbox "mobile user" is checked
b.) mobile-number (must be digit by digit the same as you set it in the settings of the App)
c.) UDID of the iPad/iPhone (this is a 40 (!!!) digit alphanumerical number of the device)
ATTENTION - since SBO App. v.1.6.0, the UDID is no longer in use, now yo have to set the W-LAN MAC Adress here
d.) the User has a limited or a professional user license
e.) the user has a B1i licence
2.) settings in the iPad/iPhone App
a.) Server: IP Adress of the Bi1 Integration Server followed by :8443 (e.g.: 91.55.110.15:8443)
8080 is the http port (unsecure), while 8443 is the https port (secure)
b.) SSL: is on
c.) Company DB: the database Name of the company you wanted to connect to (and where you have made the user setting above) (e.g.: SBODemoIN)
d.) Usercocode: the log in name of the user you made the above settings for (e.g.: manager)
e.) Phonenumber: digit by digit the same as above 1.).b.)
f.) Demosystem: needless to say, this is Off
3.) network settings
a.) certainly the port 8443 must be available from outside the network
b.) VPN connection to the network must be possible
c.) the VPN connection setting has to be set in the iPad(iPhone
If this all is set and done,
1.) you first have to establish a VPN connection with your iPad/iPhone
2.) and now/than you should be able to connect to the company with the iPad/iPhone App
Hope this helps and make it e little bit clearer how this all works.
The SBO App is "nothing else" as an WebService-Call-Interface from the iPad/iPhone to the B1i Server. Every form/view you are filling in the App, is a WebService call/request to SAP Business One. To Send this WebService Request to the B1i Server, you first have to connect into the company network (via VPN) otherwise you call cannot reach the B1i Server ...

SAP Business One iPad Apps Sales Catalog photo problem

Dear all,
I have a question about the iPad SAP Business One Mobile Apps Sales Catalog.
Inside the Sales Catalog, it will show the Item group with pictures and when you look inside the item group, it will show the Item image which is set up in the Item Master.
Can anyone help on this? Thanks very much.

According to the B1if sap.GetItemPicture Scenario, the path to the picture is looked up by the following query.
SELECT BitmapPath AS 'bitmappath' FROM OADP
The PictureName is passed into the GetItemPicture web service as a parameter.
This leads me to my next question:
What do you have the Pictures Folder (BitmapPath) set to in General Settings?
I am guessing you have it set to C:\Program Files\SAP\..........
The problem with this is that it save the picture to your local client computer and B1if is running on the server. You will want to change the path to a network path that looks something like this:
\\server\b1_shr\Pictures
Why?
If the Pictures Folder is set to C:\Program Files\SAP\.....
1. When a user attaches an image, SAP Business One client places the picture in C:\Program Files\SAP\..... path on the client workstation, not on the server.
2. B1if is usually run on the server and does not have access to a client workstation
If Pictures folder is C:\Program Files\SAP\......., B1if looks up the Pictures Folder set in the database and appends the file. In this case, B1if is reading C:\Program Files\SAP\.....\<imagefile>.jpg on the server in which B1if is running.
3. The only time using a C:\Program Files\SAP\...... would work is when the client, server and B1if is running on the same machine and the permission to the C:\Program Files\SAP\..... folder is set up to allow B1if to read from the directory and the client to write to the directory.
Using UNC notation
if the Pictures Folder is set to a UNC path \\Server\b1_shr\Pictures
1. When the user attaches an image, SAP Business One client places the picture on the server
2. B1if will read the picture from the server from the shared folder on the server
Conclusion
You need to use UNC notation to identify the path of the Picture Folder so that all pictures are placed in the same location.
What is your path set to for the Pictures Folder in General Settings?

Setting Non-perpetual Inventory in SAP Business One

Dear SAP partners,
Do you know how to setup non-perpetual inventory in SAP Business One?
I have tried to uncheck "Use Perpetual Inventory" in Administration > System Initialization > Company Details > Basic Initialization but SAP shows "item cost cannot be base price origin for gross profit calculation".
I also have tried to uncheck "Calculate Gross Profit" in Administration > System Initialization > Document Settings > General but SAP still shows "Item cost cannot be base price origin for gross profit calculation".
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Jimmy

Dear Jitin,
I am able to change anything under the dropdown of the 'Calculate Gross Profit'
i can change Base Price Origin, choose option button of calculate % Gross Profit.
I am sure to uncheck Perpetual Inventory, but SAP's still showing "Item cost cannot be base price origin for gross profit calculation, even though i already uncheck "Calculate Gross Profit".
There is also no transactions entered in the database.
What should I do then?
Thank you.

Issue running a report from SAP Business One

I have an issue running a particular report from SAP Business One. I am using Crystal Reports Add-On, all of the reports are working fine except one. When accessing the last page of the report or any page from inside the report the followiong error appears in the dialog box:
Error in the File CollectionDate_Branch_wise {609BA059-89AF-41E9-9AEB-28CB16D13852}.rpt:
The request could not be submitted for background processing.
Edited by: Iqbal Faisal on Feb 22, 2010 6:03 AM

Hi,
Do you mean you have a Main report that is written based on SQL Command and there are 8 subreports linked to the main report?
If that is the case, I assume when user select 'Document Type" eg invoice, it will pass that to the subreport and retrieve information?
This is how I will approach it.
1. Make sure the connection is consistent, if you are using ODBC(RDO) then make sure that is the same for main and subreport. You can check that in Set database connection. Right click on the connection, look at the Properties. Don't assume that the name is the same, eg: SBO_DemoUS, they are all ODBC(RDO) for instannce.
In Crystal, when you are using different connection, it will just prompts you a warning message and it will still run.
2. Delete all and only keep one subreport, example AR invoice and see it will still give a problem.
Replace the parameter with a set value in Record selection in subreport and see what happen.

Upgrade to SAP Business One 8.8 - Legal List Format

Hi All,
I am currently experimenting with the upgrade process from 2007A PL46 to SAP Business One 8.8 PL5.
On some company databases that I try I get the error Legal List Format - Failed during the database upgrade process. Does anyone know what this refers to and how it can be fixed?
Many thanks,
Damian

No it's a very clean installation in the sense that it is a database that has only run against the core SAP Business one. the only add on that would have been used during the original set-up would have been copy-express and DTW.
The company data i am using is a copy of our own corporate data, nothing fancy as we are an SAP partnership so no real inventory even.

In the Installshield the length of the combobox for selecting SQLServer name is limited to 24 charactes.
For example if the server name is PRODUCTIONSERVER\PRODUCTIONDATABASE.
Since the instance name is exceeding 24 characters the full server name will not be provided.
Please use(local)\PRODUCTIONDATABASE OR .\PRODUCTIONDATABASE, instead
