Business One Client installation issue

Last Friday we upgraded our SAP Busness One to 8.81 from 8.8 and the update launched for the client installation on XP Pro box, but the installation got interupted and did not complete. I was faced with the problem that I can't uninstall the old client with Add/Remove programs as it has an error that files are missing. the same is if I click on the Setup.exe in the Client shared folder, it wants to uninstall the old version, but bombs as it is missing files.
The question is how do I manually uninstall the old client so I can do a new install of the new version?
As a bandaid, I was able to upgrade another XP Pro box and copy the directory into the probelm one and it lets SAP Business One run. However, I am missing a couple of registry entries.

Same happen to me month back , it was unable to uninstall or remove registry from the system and when we start the new setup it says you already have SAP B1 installed in your system. I check the Program Files folder and there is no SAP folder in it .
Solution but not a professional one...
Just copy the SAP folder from other system which has client installed and working properly and paste it into Program Files .
Now you can run SAP

Installation error of SAP Business One Client after server disconnection

Hello,
While installing the SAP Business One Client to my laptop, the SAP server network connection accidentally interrupted and my installation breaks off. I did cancel the setup and try to remove the SAP Business One DI API using uninstaller. After removing the corrupted application I tried to run again the setup.exe from the server but I got this error:
Previous version of SAP Business One DI API uninstallation failed:
sapserver\B1_SHR\Client\SAP DIAPI Installation\setup.exe
SAP Business One Client installation will be aborted.
I also tried to remove the registry files using some registry cleaner but still I got the error.
Encountered something like this before? Need some help, thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ren

Hi All,
Sorry to re open this thread, but I am having a similar issue in attempting to upgrade a 2007 installation to 8.81.
When attempting the upgrade Server Tools, SDK, and even Client wont uninstall from either the upgrade process or manually from control panel.
I have conducted all the mentioned solutions as well as running registry cleaner all to no effect.
I have even attempted re installing the 2007 application but this returns a 1612 install shield error.
Any advice would be higher appreciated.

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

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

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!

SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP: Own client needed for SRM?

Hello experts,
i've a question concerning the SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP4 as Add-On.
Is it possible to use SRM and ERP funtionality in a single client e.g. 001?
Or do we have to use different clients on the system like for SUS?
I haven't found any information regarding this topic in SAP ressources. I'm currently using CG "SAP SRM on One Client in
SAP ERP" Release date 2008 (found on marketplace/srm-inst --> srm7.0); SRM - Technical Basis Configuration (BuildingBlock S00/S03). I'm facing problems while going through the following customizing steps:
Assign logical System to Client [both logicall systems are on the same client (001)] ==> error while trying to reference the second logical sys. because client (001) cannot be used again (own presumption: error message differs)
I've seen that some of you have successfully installed and customized this szenario. If someone could provide me any helpful information or guideline how to proceed in general... would be great...
Best regards,
PATRICK

Thanks for your reply. I've checked the offline documentation because i've no access to solman.
There is a document which describes the steps for configuring one-client customizing on marketplace.
Link: [SAP SRM 7.0: SAP SRM on One Client with SAP ERP|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001201562009E]
The problem is that its impossible to cofigure the system like it's described in the document.
Let me explain why...
SRM Addon is installed and customizing is done in client 001 (same client as erp)
overview about defined logical systems:
-ONECLNTERP (for ERP is defined)
-ONECLNTEBP (for SRM is defined)
When I try to assign the logical system to client 001 it works for the first entry
for the second log. system it shows up an error message.
-->I assume because client 001 has been already assigned. I cant use client 001 again.
But One-Client szenario schould be possible in a single client or is SAPs One-Client more like One-System with differnet clients for SRM and ERP on the same machine?
Because of the above mentioned problem I assume that it's impossible to run ERP and SRM in the same Client number.
Am I right? Do I have to use two Clients on One System for proper Customizing?
Or if it's possible to use a single client on one machine for both ERP and SRM how is it possible to assign two log. systems to one client number?
I'm totally confused. Any help would be appreciated - any tips/hints/experiences from someone who has customized One-Client?
BR, Patrick

Please wait while windows configures SAP Business One Client

Hi
I have just upgraded to SAP B1 8.8 PL16
All is fine apart from when I run vb 6 to compile some early programs of mine I get the following window which you can't seem to easily cancel
Please wait while windows configures SAP Business One Client
Can anyone suggest anything please ?
Thanks

Hi,
You may check this: SAP 8.8 PL13 - Client keeps getting Configuring Client dialog box.
Have you searched the forum or web? There are quite a few discussions regarding the possibility for this.

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

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

Different language when installing SAP Business One client

Hello
I live in Mexico City and we are using SAP Business One in Latin american Spanish. When i install a new computer with the client of SBO, and i run it.

Thanks

Cisco Jabber client installation issue

I am trying to install Jabber Client 9.6(1) with this installation command
msiexec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi /quiet CLEAR=1 AUTHENTICATOR=CUP CUP_ADDRESS=1.2.3.4
but it didn't set account type as cisco IM & Presence instead it stays in Automatic
Is there any correct property to set it to Cisco IM & Presence as account type. Thanks for your help.

That is the correct, documented structure of the command so I'm unsure why it didn't work. Have you considered doing DNS SRV records instead? It's both the recommended and far easier way to get this done.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_6/InstallConfig/JABW_BK_CDFE9752_00_installation-and-configuration/JABW_BK_CDFE9752_00_installation-and-configuration_chapter_0100.html#JABW_CN_S8703698_00
If DNS really isn't an option for you, you could also consider creating an MST file using ORCA and using that instead of manual CLI switches.
If CLI switches are really your only option and no one has a better idea, try an older release (e.g. 9.2.6) just to see if it ever works. Depending on the outcome, it may be time for a TAC case.
Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

CyberPower PowerPanel Business Edition client installation

In case there's anyone out there that is trying to install the cyberpower power panel client software to manage the interaction between a cyberpower ups agent and a solaris box, here are the instructions to get it working.
Basically, the software uses a prepackaged version of Linux Java, and the main problem with getting the software to run on Solaris is that obviously java compiled for Linux will not work on Solaris. So you need to point the software to your correct version of Java and it will work:
tar xvfz ppbe200-linux-esxi-setup.tar.gz
sed -i -e 's:bin/unpack200:/usr/java/jre/bin/unpack200:' -e 's:$app_java_home/bin/java:/usr/java/jre/bin/java:' ppbe200-linux-esxi-setup.sh
sudo ./ppbe200-linux-esxi-setup.sh
sudo chown root:root /opt/ppbe
sudo chmod a+rX /opt/ppbe
sudo /etc/init.d/ppbed stop
sudo mv /opt/ppbe/jre /opt/ppbe/jre_backup
sudo ln -s /usr/java/jre /opt/ppbe/jre
sudo /etc/init.d/ppbed start
Also, before you install make sure you've installed java ("sudo pkg install java") and the X11 libraries ("sudo pkg install xterm xauth" was enough for me).
Hopefully this will help someone out there.

This thread was a great help in pointing me in the right direction, but there were some modifications for my configuration (Solaris 10 and ppbe version 2.1.1).
1) The jre used must match the one bundled with ppbe, which is 1.6, so download and install 1.6. Mine is in /usr/jre/latest for the example below.
2) My version of sed does not support the -i option, so I used perl as follows:
perl -nw -e '$_ =~ s:# INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=:INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/usr/jre/latest:;$_ =~ s:bin/unpack200:/usr/jre/latest/bin/unpack200:;$_ =~ s:\$app_java_home/bin/java:/usr/jre/latest/bin/java:; print $_;' ppbe211-linux-x86.sh >ppbe211-solaris-sparc.sh
3) Run the newly created installer
4) Likewise, add the jre path in /opt/ppbe/ppbed, by adding the following line at the top:
INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/usr/jre/latest
4) Add links to the start/stop scripts
# ln -s /etc/init.d/ppbed /etc/rc0.d/K99ppbed
# ln -s /etc/init.d/ppbed /etc/rc1.d/K99ppbed
# ln -s /etc/init.d/ppbed /etc/rc2.d/S99ppbed
# ln -s /etc/init.d/ppbed /etc/rc3.d/S99ppbed

Upgrade Error Failed to upgrade SAP Business One Client

Hi All,
I have upgraded one of our customers from SAP 9.0 to 9.1 PL5.
Everything upgraded successfully through the wizard. When launching the client, the 32 bit client upgraded with no errors. When attempting to open the 64 bit client I get the error above. I have also uninstalled the 64 bit client and re installed from the B1-Shr folder with the same result.
This is a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. Log files are not showing any errors.
Has anyone never ran into this?
Sincerely,
Chris Sorensen

Chris
I just had this happen with PL06.
It gave me this message for both 32 bit and 64 bit client
When I checked - even though it said it had not upgraded the 32 bit client it already had.
With the 64 bit client I had to 100% reboot and go directly to the client upgrade and then it worked.
You might try that. Seems like something was interfering with it.

SAP Business One Client Stuck While upgrading

Hi Experts,
I have successfully run the upgrade 8.8 patch leve 8 on the server(windows 2003). The server also had the client installed.
As usually we opened up the client for autoupgrade, it seems like it was taking too much time to upgrade and it looked like the client upgrade got stuck.
So we ended the task(The client icon on the desktop disappeared the next moment. ) and tried to upgrade the client using the B1share folder.
We get the messages like Error 1605: This action is valid only for currently installed products . when i say okay
Error:Number:0*80040702
Description: Failed to load Dll; Creator dll
Next i have also tried to uninstall from add\remove programs, then it says
error 1628: failed to complete installation.
Please let me know how to solve this problem.
Regards,
Chidamber.
