2007A Install - Cannot connect to SBO-COMMON db

Towards the end of the Server install, after building the databases, a message displays that the Install is testing the connection to the SBO-COMMON db. It then tells me that it is unable to connect and displays the MSSQL log on screen for me to enter the sa password. When I enter the correct password and press ok I get the "Cannot Connect" message again.
Before running the Install I have made sure that the required MSSQL services are running (MSSQL, Agent and Browser)

Hello Tony,
Please take a look at SAP Note 979081, it may be related.
Hope it helps,

2007 B Upgrade - Cannot connect to SBO-COMMON db

Hi,
Trying to upgrade SBO 2005B PL43 to SBO 2007B PL07.
The SBO -Common database exist
The SQL Express <TCP and Pipes> enable
In the SBO Common Upgrade, when I enter the correct server name, user, password and press OK, i get the follow error:
"The Connection to the specified server has failed"
"Check your password and the that server exist on the network"
Any idea?
Tanks

Hi Marcio
In 2007 you must specify the server type as SQL or SQL_2005 (Type 1 or Type 4). There are also limitations in 2007 with respect to SQL Express. The best is to check the supported databases on the portal or check with your local SAP office.
Kind regards

Add-On connection for Journal Entry - Failed to Connect to SBO Common

We have a customer (SAPBO 2005A SP01 PL29) with some specific requirements that required an add-on running in the background to monitor the addition of Goods Receipt PO's to the system. When the GRPO is successfully added, the Add-On will (behind the scenes) create an appropriate Journal Entry through the SAP DI. One of the issues that we encountered during the development of this functionality was that when it was tested by users, they weren't authorized to access the Financials module or the Journal Entry screen. What we ended up doing was creating a secondary connection (vCompany) in the DL pulling the information from the encrypted user information from SAP the Add-On used to connect, but utilizing a management level user ID and password. Once that connection has been made, the Journal Entry is added through the DI and that secondary connection is disconnected.
The problem that we're encountering is this. When the users are logged into SAP Client with an regular user, and the GRPO adds, the secondary connection fails and returns a message of "Failed to Connect to SBO-Common". However, if the user is logged into SAP as an adminitrative level user and the GRPO is added, the secondary connection is successful and the Journal Entry is created. The secondary connection is strictly used for the JE. Here's the code (VS.Net 2005) for the secondary connection:
vCompany = New SAPbobsCOM.Company
vCompany.UseTrusted = True
vCompany.language = SAPbobsCOM.BoSuppLangs.ln_English
vCompany.CompanyDB = oCompany.CompanyDB
vCompany.UserName = "XXXXX"
vCompany.Password = "YYYYY"
vCompany.Server = oCompany.Server
vCompany.DbServerType = SAPbobsCOM.BoDataServerTypes.dst_MSSQL2005
lRetConnect = vCompany.Connect()
Where "XXXXX" would be the appropriate management level SAP User Name and "YYYYY" would be that users password.
Has anyone else had this kind of issue where you needed a secondary connection with management level access behind the scenes to accomplish something in SAP and had problems getting it to connect? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dennis,
what you can try is to make a untrusted connection
oCompany.UseTrusted = False
and set the DBUser and Pwd
oCompany.DbUserName = "sa"
oCompany.DbPassword = "insertpwd"

AHHHHHHH! Install cannot connect to database error!

I am so frustrated with application server install...
I'm trying to install SOA 10.1.3, advanced option, 1st option
When it asks me for database account, host name, service name I enter all this info in then i click next...
This is when I get the Install cannot connect to database error even though db i'm trying to connect to is on same machine!
Anyone have any ideas other than laying off medication as to what the problem is?

Check the requirement chapter in the Installation Guide, but it should be similar to:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.88 yourserver.domain.com yourserverHowever, I don't think you should change any of this after a installation...

Connection to SBO-Common has failed

Hi!
I have a application that use SAPbobsCOM.dll version 6.7.0.0 togheter with SBO2005. Ihave no problem to read data but when i try to update i have this error "Connection to SBO-Common has failed".
What shall I do?
/Thomas

Hello Thomas,
Make sure that all components of SAP have the same Patch Level to avoid any conflict in the future. If you use SBO2005 PL02, then all the DI API, DI Server etc must also be in PL02. Hope this helps...

Hi,
Two "Maybe"'s:
1. DbPassword = "sa"; - please verify this info is correct in your DB.
2. CompanyDB="SBODemo_US"; - please note that it might be SBODemoUS (without the "_" char).

Sbo common error - test connection

Hello, Im trying to connect the B1DI in SBO common, but I can't:
This error appears:
XCE001 Nested exception: java.rmi.RemoteException: com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: java.net.MalformedURLException: invalid authority: rmi://license_server_name:2099/DiaAdapterProxy_XXX
If I write the IP address, is another error: -8012... I checked the note "Troubleshooting on B1ic Version 8.81" but the patch level are correct...
Can somebody help me??
Thank you!
Sorry for my english!!
Paulina

Hi Paulina,
You cannot successfully connect to SBO-Common via the B1DI test connection since its actually not like a normal Business One database. Therefore you should only test connections to normal B1 databases. If they do not exists in the SLD then you can create one.
Cheers,
Lisa

I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets on the network have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer. Yet Network control panel says I am connect to the modem, and Network Diagnosis says I am connected to the Internet. It's like the blind man who has eyes that cannot see. BTW, I am not some newbee. I have been a Machead since the early nineties and set up a half dozen networks, including the one I am using at home to which the iMac mysteriously is there but not. This has me stumped! I am considering going back to 10.7!

Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.

Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.
I have attempted all the regular trouble shoots such as resets, complete restore and reinstallation of ios 8. no change.

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.
