How to change server in SAP B1 8.8

Dear All,
I have a problem in using SAP B1 8.8. I have 2 separated server which is one is contain license server and the other server contain database company. My client doesn't want the company database in one server with license server. In SAP B1 2007 that my client used before, this is not a problem. But now, in SAP B1 8.8, it's become a problem because SAP remove "CHANGE SERVER" button in modul change company. I tried to click in the server list but the server that appear is License Server only. I can't find Database Server.
So, How can i choose the database server ?
Pls help

Hi,
before you can add your <server-name>\SQLEXPRESS you must have your SBO-COMMON database available in SQL Server.
If you have the original SBO-COMMON.mdf and SBO-COMMON_log.LDF files just place them under you SQL Server DATA folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA) and Attach from MS SQL Server Management Studio.
Also attach any company databases.
After that you can add <server-name>\SQLEXPRESS as follows:
- open SAP B1 Service Manager
- select License Manager service and click Settings
- click Configure Security (bottom left)
- enter password and click OK
- enter your Connection Settings e.g.
 MSSQL_2008
 <server-name>\SQLEXPRESS
 sa
 <sa-user-password>
- click OK
That will take care of the connection settings but not of your Add-ons registration.
So if you have any add-ons (e.g. Screen Painter, Fixed Assets, etc.) you will have to manually edit the AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file (under C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One) and change any
Name="<server-name>" entries to Name="<server-name>\SQLEXPRESS"
Save the modified file.
Now start the SAP client, press Change Company and set you Current Server to <server-name>\SQLEXPRESS
Done.

Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program

Hi All,
I have a issue related Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program.
Actual issue is as below.
In the selection screen of my program i will give Application Server Path as :
/PW/DATA/SAP/D1S/PP/DOWN/eppi0720*
Then the based on above input it should pick up all the files that are matching eppi0720* criteria.
Suppose if i am having 5 files with above scenario, i have to fetch all those 5 files at a time and place in my SAP Program.
All those 5 file's data should come into SAP at a time.
Can anybody tell me how can we solve above issue.
If any body has come across same issue please provide me with solution.
Thanks in advance.

Does changing server names in an XI environment have any impact?

Hi experts,
can anyone answer the query below ?
what is the impact of changing server names in an XI environment ( what exchange profile parameters need to be changed if any ) what are the risks, what may or may not stop working - can you alias to the old name etc....
regards
madhu

Hi,
I think its possible to change the server names. But ya that would impact on the connected systems and you have to modify the RFC destinations of connected R/3 systems as well as have to update the sender and receiver systems with new XI server information
Have a look at these help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/35/2597d1fee611d184870000e8a57770/frameset.htm

Server in sap management cosnole does not turn into green

I installed this trial version from http://www.sdn.sap.com. with the download, there is a tutorial explaining all steps for installation. In SAP Management Console when I click on NSP "Start" it should change to green but in my case it stays yellow.
I do not have an access key to the server. When I try to log on to this server it asks me for user and a password so I tried to use nspadm with it's password but it did not accept.
as far as i know that in order to let the server turns to green all I need to do is to right click on it and choose starts but even after doing this it does not turns into green.
I want to create another user in order to user it instead of SAP*
The role that I am giving to this user is u201Csystem administratoru201D but after I save it I get this message on screen: u201CNo update server found for Eu201D
despite of this previous message it creates it. I get this if I create a new user with the previous name I wanted to create previously.
In general I need a way to let me create my own users so I can start developing in ABAP.
I can access every thing in this workbench but if I want to do some changes on classes and packages I create it tells me that I can not using SAP* and if I want to create other users sing SU01 and then logon again using using these new users I get a problem in accessing the system using them.
I need to know what is reason for not turning the server in sap management console into green and i why i can not create users.
Thanks

Change server B1 Share

Hi,
i want to change server where is now B1 SHARE.
what is the best procedure to migrate it to new server.
Thanks a lot

Hello.
As the B1_SHR folder cointains all the SAP Business One additional files, such as Microsoft Word and Excel documents, attachments, pictures, scanned documents, etc., you should update the right path in General Settings.
To move the folder location try this:
1. Copy the folder B1_SHR to target server and share it grantting access for all SB1 users.
2. Restore a copy of the Data Base as *** TEST ***, and do the folowing steps on TEST DB.
3. Change the settings under the Tab "Path" in "General Settings", changing all paths to the new folder and subfolder.
4. Save settings and restart the SB1 session.
5. Verify the functionality: Create some PDF's, export to Excel and Word, attach files to activities an messages. The files should be in the new server folder. Check this through some SB1 user accounts.
If all work fine, you could change the folder path in productive DB.
I hope this helps..

Put some data form the databse of SQL Server into SAP and auto general PR?

Dear all,
Can you tell me how I can put some data from the databse of SQL Server into SAP and auto general PR?
Best regards,
Merryzhang
Edited by: merry zhang on Feb 4, 2009 9:10 AM

Hi Zhang,
If i have understood your question properly, I guess you wanted to create Purchase Requistion automatically right?
Then you have lots of option simpilest one would be create a couple of Z table with all the fields that you require for header and Item.
create a Program and use BAPI function module to create the PR by reading the values from those Z tables. after creation delete the contents from the table. Schedule this program in Background periodically like everyday or weekly once however you would like it to be. So once the table has contents in it and when the program runs it will create the PR's (Purchase Requisition).
You can also use a workflow with the Z table. Once the Z table is filled you can trigger a workflow based on the Table change. I'm not sure like how to do it but I nkow that this process can also be used.
Hope this might have thrown some light upon.
Thanks,
Prashanth

Query on integrating windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV

hi
I have sucessfully integrated windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV. I have query in it regarding the possible validation against the portal Database user. Can we configure such that the user comparison happens for LDAP as well as database user. Have anyone configured such a scenario?
Regards,
Ganesh N

Hi Ganesh,
this should work in principle.
However you would need a user in Active Directory for each user in the portal database that should connect to the file server if you are using the SSO22KerbMap Module as I assume.
In my whitepaper I have mentioned this for the internal user index_service that does only exist in the portal database.

Reg: If changes done in SAP BO Analysis office, then Changes can be done in SAP BW in respective targets. But, is it possible to do the same changes in SAP ECC? How?

Hello Everyone,
If any changes are done in SAP BO Analysis office, then the change can be done in the SAP BW in the respective Targets.
But how can we do the changes in the SAP ECC ? Is it possible to do the changes in the tables ?
Any answer is appreciable
Regards,
Karteek

We are using the "Input ready Bex query", in order to modify the values in "BO Analysis office".
ECC BI BO Analysis office
1 -------------> 1 ----------> 1 ------
 |
 | (Now Data is changed in Analysis office from 1 to 2)
 |
(?) <-------------- 2 <---------- 2 <-----
(Will it be updated in ECC)
(Diagram Explanation)
From ECC we can load the data (Consider Value-1) to SAP BI and from SAP BI we can load the data to BO analysis office.
So, now if we change the data in BO Analysis office (Value-1 changed to Value-2)..
Now the data is changed in SAP BI to Value-2.
So what about the data in ECC ? Whether it is changed or not?
Please provide us a real time business Scenario..
Thanks,
Karteek

How do I change my default "SAP Working Directory" to the one I wish ?

Hello Gurus,
How do I change my default "SAP Working Directory" to the one I wish ?
At the moment default SAP Working Directory to set to the following directory.
"C:\Documents and Settings\T51273\SapWorkDir"
So, when ever I try to download a Report/Table Contents/Spool Request, SAP prompts me to save in the above SAP Working Directory, which is "C:\Documents and Settings\T51273\SapWorkDir". Ofcourse I can change the folder in the dialogue box, but I don't want to change the folder each and every time I download a report from SAP.
I wish to change my default "SAP Working Directory" to "My Documents" Folder. So that from next time,
if ever I try to download a Report/Table Contents/Spool Request, SAP should prompt "My Documents" Folder. That way I don't have to change the folder at the time of saving.
Full Points are assigned for an answer that works...
Thank You,
Nag.

Hello,
A short question about transaction SO21:
Is this a local setting, per GUI?
Or does this affect all users?
I have a problem opening an attachment (Mandates).
SAP wants to save it to C:\Windows\System32\
I see that is stated at SO21.
If I change that to another (accessable) location, does that affect the opening of the attachment?
Thanks!

Need help On Triggers/Change pointers in SAP

Hi Experts,
I Need help On Triggers/Change pointers in SAP.
I have a requirement as soon as an entry is created in one of the Standard SAP table it should check against my Ztable and update and create the corresponding entry in another Ztable.
Can some one help me out on this with the syntax and how to do it

Hi,
Check whether you have any enhancement option (BADI, user exit, Customer enhancement etc) in the program which is used to save the data in the SAP standard table. If so, then try to write your code in that appropriate enhancement.
