Create Addon

Hi all,
I will create an add on by VB 6 and this add on is outside from Add on SBO. It is an application separately from Addon SBO but this data took in SAP by Query SQL. If I have the knowledge of programming about VB 6 and database structures from SQL, what is the addon create separately from SBO ( maybe I do not use Addon from SBO). The add on is read from database SQL
Please anybody can explain about that...?
Regards,
AGung

Problem creating Addons

Hi,
I've probably missed something obvious, but I can't see mto get this to work.
Using the B1DE, I created an Addon project. Made no changes to the code.
Then I also used the B1DE to create an installer for this Addon.
Compiled both, ran the AddonRegDataGen batch file, and then installed the Addon in SAPusing this ARD.
And it worked, no problem.
Now, I made a change to the Addon code.
Then recompiled it.
Then ran the AddonRegDataGen again to get a new ARD file.
Removed the existing Addon from SAP, and tried to install the new version.
It installs fine, but when I try to run it, i get
"wrong executable digital signature for add-on"
I'm sure I missed something, but what?
Thanks in advance!

Hi David,
Thanks for the advice.
That was the problem - I did not realise that I would have to copy the new .exe for the addon into the "AddonFiles" folder in the INSTALLATION project each time I rebuilt the addon (since when you make the installer you point it at the output folder of the addon project).
Anyway, its working now so thank a million!
Regards,
Stephen

Trying to create addon...

Hi all,
I am trying to create an addon for B1 2007 for the first time.
I have created the program.
I have downloaded B1DE and installed it for the installation wizards, but I am using Visual Studio 2003 and doesn't seem to support it.
[Content Deleted]
Visual Studio 2003 support seems to be only for B1 2004 and 2005.
Is there another version available? What other ways are there for creating the addon?

Yoav

Yoav,
The SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation covers "packaging" your solution in very good detail. You should review this. In the SDK Help Center documentation, look under "Package and Deployment". You can also search this forum and there are many posts on this subject.

Create addon under bussiness partner menu

hi,
i already created an addon. i want to install that addon under business partner meni item tab. its urgent.
Regards,
Puneeth S

Hi puneeth,
You can create the menu like this :
SAPbouiCOM.Menus oMenus;
                SAPbouiCOM.MenuItem oMenusItem;
                SAPbouiCOM.MenuCreationParams oCreationPackage = null;
                oCreationPackage = ((SAPbouiCOM.MenuCreationParams)(SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_MenuCreationParams)));
                oMenusItem = SBO_Application.Menus.Item("43535");
                oMenus = oMenusItem.SubMenus;
                // Ajout sous-menu "Gestion des affaires"
                if (SBO_Application.Menus.Exists("IFC_GEST_AFF") == false)
                    oCreationPackage.Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoMenuType.mt_STRING;
                    oCreationPackage.UniqueID = "IFC_GEST_AFF";
                    oCreationPackage.String = ChangeLanguage.GetName_For_SubMenu(SBO_Application.Language, "1");
                    oCreationPackage.Position = 1;
                    oMenus.AddEx(oCreationPackage);
                    oCreationPackage = ((SAPbouiCOM.MenuCreationParams)(SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_MenuCreationParams)));
This create a entry menu in the Business Partners menu.
If you want to create a entry between Business Partners and Banking with sub menu, try this :
            SAPbouiCOM.Menus oMenus;
            SAPbouiCOM.MenuItem oMenuItem;
            SAPbouiCOM.MenuCreationParams oMenuCreationParams;
            string sPath = "";
            try
                sPath = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath;
                oMenuCreationParams = (SAPbouiCOM.MenuCreationParams)SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_MenuCreationParams);
                oMenuCreationParams.Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoMenuType.mt_POPUP;
                oMenuCreationParams.Image = sPath + "
IMG127 new.BMP";
                oMenuCreationParams.Position = 6;
                oMenuCreationParams.UniqueID = "IFC_MENU";
                oMenuCreationParams.String = "Contrats";
                oMenuItem = SBO_Application.Menus.Item("43520");
                oMenus = oMenuItem.SubMenus;
                if(SBO_Application.Menus.Exists("IFC_MENU") == true)
                    return;
                oMenuItem = oMenus.AddEx(oMenuCreationParams);
                System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oMenuCreationParams);
                oMenuCreationParams = null;
                oMenuCreationParams = (SAPbouiCOM.MenuCreationParams)SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_MenuCreationParams);
                oMenuCreationParams.Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoMenuType.mt_STRING;
                oMenuCreationParams.Image = "";
                oMenuCreationParams.Position = 1;

How to create addon exe

Hi All,
I have created some addons presently i am genereating .ard files and registering those in sap but client is asking for exe he is saying if he run that exe on client server it should come in evry client machine but how to create such type exe for addons kindly help me as soon as posible.
Regards,
Sri

Hi Sri,
it is very simple to use. I don't know if there is a documentation.
After you have installed B1DE, you should have the wizard in Visual Studio. Just create a new project and select the SAP B1 AddOnInstaller .NET Wizard template (listed under Project Types -> Visual Basic). Then you have a GUI where you can define several parameters (Addon name, duration of installation, version, files, ...) On the files tab you have to select the exe which was generated by Visual Studio when you build / debug your solution. It then selects automatically the needed API dlls. You can also select more files like images, config files and so on.
After the creation you can find in the bin folder of this project the exe and ard file.
Regards,
Sebastian

Create Addon Setup

Hello Guys,
Does anyone know how to create an SAP Add on installer using Inno Setup 5.1.5? If you can provide an example *.iss file, it will help. Thank you.

Hey Gilbert,
We use inno setup to complete this. We had to create some methods to receive the parameters from business one and set them during the installer.
Here is a sample of one of the methods we created:
function GetSBOParam(Ignore: String): String;
var
Param: String;
SeparatorPosition: Integer;
RegFilePath: String;
begin
Param := ParamStr(ParamCount());
SeparatorPosition := Pos('|', Param) + 1;
if SeparatorPosition > 1 then
begin
RegFilePath := '"' + Copy(Param, SeparatorPosition, Length(Param) - SeparatorPosition + 2) + '"';
end else
RegFilePath := '';
Result := RegFilePath;
end;
During the installer we also call a command line app to except the params from Business one and complete the rest of the registration calls as executed in the Sample installer included with the SDK.
Hope this helps

Creating addon installers for SBO 9.0 64-Bit (AddOnInstallAPI_x64)

Hi guys,
I experience some challenge getting my addon to install successfully on a 64-bit SBO 9.0
I noticed there are a couple of discussions touching on this very subject.
So I have successfully installed my addon on the 32-bit edition of SBO 9.0
My addon is built using VS2010 C# and the addon installer(setup) is built using InstallAware.
I use the very same setup script for my 64-bit compatible addon (btw, i can manually launch and run this addon successfully in 64-Bit SBO 9.0)
When I run the addon setup, it runs through to the end but i get an SBO system message 'Add-on XXX : Installation failed'
During the setup debug, I saw the commandline coming from SBO points to the 32-bit AddOnInstallAPI.dll instead of the 64-bit AddOnInstallAPI_x64.dll
Could this be the cause of the 'installation failed' message?
If so, how can I get the commandline pointing to the 64-bit AddOnInstallAPI_x64.dll?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Esau

Hello,
In the end, i used the 32-bit dll in a 64-bit installer and it worked ok.
Another point to remember is to call the EndInstallEx function (in my case, i was calling EndInstall)
Your installer should work ok after this.
Kind regards,
Esau

B1DE (AddOn Installer) for 64 bit server

Hi All,
I have a problem. One of my client has a 64 bit server. AddOn installation created with B1DE for SAP 2007 doesn't work on that server. After running SAP AddOn is trying to install, and then there is an error. Is there any way to create AddOn installation files that work on 64 bit server?
Regards
Hmg

Both Robin and Owen are right... You need to run your code as forced 32 bit.
The reason is the following:
- A default project in Visual Studio is compiled as "Any CPU"
   - Any CPU means that you code will be executed as 32bit on a 32bit machine, and 64bit on a 64bit machine.
   - The Any CPU option is great for pure .NET (since all parts of it can run 32bit and 64bit)
   - In case of the SAP SDK and the AddonInstaller.dll, these are COM-based unmanaged code
      - If such unmanage code is not written to work with 64 bit, problems like yours can occur (this happens not only for SAP SDK... Tons of API out there have the same problems)
- If you change the Any CPU option to the x86 option, you will force 64 bit mashines to run your code in "simulated" 32bit (Don't worry.. it is quite fast and gives no problems)
We are you this with our 64 bit customers and without any problems...
Lastly, if you wish to know more about this please hear the following podcast that describes the issue in detail (A good listen): http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=341
