Business One SDN improvement suggestions

put the forum link back on the Developer Areas> Business One home page
post the CHM help files for the DI-API 2004 version (not 6.5 that is ancient history now right?)
get rid of the PDF files, i don't want to load a 30 meg 3rd party program to read documentation. maybe only use it in cases where you know someone would be printing.
get rid of the IFRAME pages they are always too long for my screen and so then the scroll bar is off the screen and i cannot read anything further down the page
Post the bugfix list and known outstanding issues list, (especially those related to the sdk tools) so posters don't keep asking about these.
[not trying to complain just trying to make this a more useful resource for all]

maybe some positive notes on recent (last 6 mo) changes too,
i like the new rss feeds of forums
i like the autoemail on watched threads
i like the sap employee indicator
i like that i can login with either my username or email
i like the new code button
i like the post as a question and indicate whether it was resolved

Looking to switch career from Java to SAP Business One

Hi All,
I have around 4 yrs of experience in JAVA/J2EE application development.I am planning to switch my career into SAP(in Technofuctional module).Actually, I want to switch my career from coding to functional domain(in SAP) but i don't know how to get into it.I want to work as close as to the business and get use of my technical background because that's all I got so far. Please guide me which SAP module i would choose to build my career and what steps i should take .
Thank You

Hi SunnyB
SAP Business one is an intergrated solution with all domains in one application. Things like purchasing, materials, finance, crystal reports etc comes into one single application called SAP Business One. Historically SAP Business One developmed by a software firm based in Israel and SAP AG acquired the company and renamed it like SAP Business One. My suggestion would be it is a good application suitable for small and medium type businesses where business processes are not complicated. However, if you want to make career in one specific domain listed below, you need to look into SAP's ERP modules:
1.Materials Management
2.Financials(Financial Accounting)
3.Controlling(Cost & Management Accounting)
4. BI(Business Intelligence is a reporting tool and data mining tool)
5. HR
6. Basis(Technical module where installation and authorisation including system security etc are taken care of)
7. Travel Management(Application for employee/non-employee expense claims)
8. ABAP(Advanced Business Appln.Programming owned by SAP AG)
9. Project Systems
10. Others that I donno at this stage but exists.
My suggestion would be to go for anything as per your interest and not purely financial. Of course you'll be rewarded good with any of the above modules but learn based on your interest.
Good luck!
Mohammed.

"Enable Sap Business One Suggest" what is it?

Hello experts,
On General Settings> Display> there is an option at the bottom that says "Enable Sap Business One Suggest".
Do you know what is for? I can't find any documentation.
I have SAP B1 8.8 patch 19 hot fix
Many thanks

Hi Pam, you are right, there is no help for in Display File Tab help in 8.8 patch 18. This is actually a documenation defect of low priority.
Many in the forum overlook for possible defects though of low priority. Opening defects ensures they get considered for future releases and makes the product so much better.

SAP Business One v8.8 (PL12) - Upgrading

Hello Forum
this is my first post so apologies....
I am trying to establish a SAP B1 v8.8 test environment on a 'offline' server. I am encountering 2 issues when installing/upgrading...
Original environment:
         HP ProLiant Server
         5gb RAM
         Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Server
         (Service Packed and Updated from Windows Update)
Firstly,
    SAP Server Tools / Server / Client will all install using a base of PL05, I can then upgrade this to PL10 (both of which were supplied by our Partner) - I operated on this PL level for a week or so with no trouble what so ever. Later I recieved PL12 on a disc from our Partner and went through the upgrade process from PL10 to PL12.
   This failed showing 'Creatordll.DLL' error straight away when the process started to upgrade the SBO-COMMON database. I could see the Server Tools get upgraded first and then the SBO-Common database getting backed up and as soon as this has completed the error happens. The upgrade then rolls back (Restores) the SBO-Common and then stops advising also that the Server Tools will need a manual restoration.
   MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package was the only reference that I could find on SDN so I followed the instructions here.
Amended environment:
         HP ProLiant Server
         5gb RAM
         Windows 2008 Enterprise Server
         (Updated from Windows Update)
Secondly,
   When attempting to troubleshoot this problem, the directory "C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Server " has only the B1_SHR available in Windows Explorer. When I check this against our LIVE environment using SAP B1 2007a the same directory has "B1_SHR \ DI API \ SAP Business One DI API \ B1iServer \ B1iSetup" listed.
When in the PL05 or PL10 environments SAP operates perfectly fine despite the fact that there is no other directories showing here. The base install and upgrade to PL10 completed without error so I had no need to investigate the SAP Business One directory until PL12 failed.
I'm hoping that someone in the Forums can help me out with these issues.
Thanks

Hi Garry,
I would suggest you to download the latest installation package on 8.8 PL10 which is available on the Service Market Place. In order to solve the issue with 'Creatordll.DLL' please follow the steps from the Note [1408662|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1408662]. Issue could be caused due to missing Microsoft ATL security patch.
hope it helps,

Best Tool to integrate with Business One

Hi there!
I have a customer with SAP Business One implemented.
He'd like to have a BO application implemented, like a BI tool in order to have reports, graphics, and so on, extracted from Business One.
I would need to do some transformation and aggregation to this data...
Which application is the most indicated in this case?
Do you have any suggestion or comment?
Thanks in advance,
Cris.

What is Business one ?

Hi Guys,
I am basically PI developer and our company is planning to use the business one. Can somebody give an over view of this product.
For what purpouse it is used and what are the skills required to work on this ?
any links or suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Raj

I believe the difference between two systems are more than similarity. Check the SAP documentation:
u2022 SAP Business One is the right solution for smaller businesses, typically with
fewer than 100 employees and 50 users, that are looking for a single system to
cover their basic needs.
u2022 SAP Business ByDesign is the right solution for midsize companies that are focused
on improving common cross-industry processes while minimizing their IT
costs and resources. For these customers, SAP Business ByDesign combines
the benefits of integrated, end-to-end business applications with the low risk and
low total cost of ownership of a u201Csoftware as a serviceu201D solution.

Do we need a SAP Business One & Business Objects Forum?

Hi all,
We have made the Crystal Reports Add-on for SAP Business One available in the [Knowledge Center|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessone?rid=/webcontent/uuid/807d22cb-cb1d-2b10-8794-fb76d7feca88]
For all discussions arround SAP Business One and the new Add-On Crystal Reports we have at the moment one [Thread|SAP Business One and Crystal Reports; with very high contribution.
So we would like to ask you, if a new Forum is needed and if yes where to put it (beneath the SAP Business One Forums or the Business Objects Forums)?
Thanks for your feedback,
Richard and Darius

Richard/Darius,
Having experience both SAP Business One and Business Objects, I would suggest that all reporting aspects of Crystal Reports should stay in Business Objects Forum.
I would still agree to create a sub-forum for Crystal Reports in SAP Business One, as long as the topics are more of the integration of Crystal Reports with SAP B1.

The Time Limit Implementation SAP Business One Starter Package

Dear Expert,
I have read in portal SAP that SAP suggest to implement SAP Business One Starter Package with 2-10 days. Until day, i am not believe that it can do.
Can anyone give me reference about methodology implementation SAP Business One Starter Package for implementation 2-10 days ?
Thank's before to Expert who share me many experience.
Regards,
-Anggy-
Edited by: Anggi Rinaldy on Jun 23, 2011 5:08 AM

Hi Angy ,
This is not a situation to get worried about how much days it will take for starter Pack .
For a starter Package , it signifies the VANILA Implementation which is of-course possible in 2-10 days .
Even after 1 day of installation of the product with a standard SAP Chart of Account
And 4-5 Days of system initialization , you can definitely start making the Master and Start working on it.
Even if you need the more precise Answer, you should visit the below link , Which will Give you the Clear idea about the Time Consumption requires for SAP Implementation with Full Functionality.
BUT Always keep in mind that the Time may Vary as per your Requirement , which are different from SAP Standard Functionality.

介绍一个新发布的工具 - SAP Business One Custom Help Mapping

英文简介：With this Custom Help Mapping add-on (B1HM) you can improve knowledge transfer at the point of use. You can attach custom help to windows, tabs, and fields in the core as well as to user-defined fields and to add-ons that run within SAP Business One. Thus, users can access add-on-specific, industry-specific, and company-specific help in the same way that they access the context-sensitive SAP help. This add-on runs with SAP Business One 2007 A. No official support is provided.
中文翻译：Custom Help Mapping add-on (B1HM) 这个工具可以帮助制作定制化在线帮助，从而使用户在使用B1的同时获得定制化的帮助。你可以为B1的窗口/标签/字段/自定义字段等控件甚至addon编写定制化的在线帮助。正因为如此，最终用户可以像访问B1标准在线帮助一样访问针对特定addon/特定行业/特定企业而定制的在线帮助。这个addon在2007 A/B版本上运行，属于开源形式，SAP不提供官方支持。

我自己简单的试用了一下，功能可以说比较简单，运行这个addon之后，可以把指定的控件和多种格式的文件关联，比如html或者PDF。如果你的客户系统有用addon的话，可以针对addon做一套在线帮助，感觉应用前景还是不错的。
同学们有用过的，不妨发表一下高见

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

Dear ,
ALL SAP forum members,
Iam Using SAP Business One 8.81 PL 06, Micorsoft SQL 2008 R2
In SLD B1DI and JDBC, the connections were tested successfully.
Whenever I log into SBO, I am getting "SAP Business One Integration Services Authentication Failed" error message. I did extensive research on all possible SBO documents dating 1 year back especially in B1ic Troubleshooting Document (New and Old) and searched the length of the SBO forums, but I could not a solution.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the B1f package many a time. The integration services we re also restarted many times and the connections were all tested successfully. Firewall, AntiVirus also checked.
In the B1f, in the Monitoring Window, the login is "Ok" but the AuthCheck is "Failed". I checked Authent.Monitor->Authentic Info and I found the following message under Action message "Wrong Usrname and Password".
I debugged and i found again "/com.sap.b1i.vplatform.scenarios.authen/sap.Xcelsius/Authenticate_Check.bfd

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.
Regards,
Bala
