Customised SAP AddOn

Our teams has been developing and installing Customised SAP AddOns on client sites for testing.
However, we always encounter 2 common problems:
(a) "Another version of the program has been installed" - when trying to uninstall from SAP B1 AddOn Administration.
I notice there is SAP Notes that suggest removing 'AddOnsInstall.sbo' and 'AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo' . However, this solution requires reinstalling all AddOns after the removal.
Is there a particular reason this happen that we can include in our program as a fix?
(b) Sometimes, after uninstalling from SAP Business One, we still see that the AddOns hangging in Control Panel--> Add/Remove Program. If we try to uninstall the AddOn from Add/Remove Program, we receive an error "Object reference not set to an instance".
Any advice on this?

Hi,
For the first one, instead of deleting the files, open them with the notepad, and delete the XML nodes regarding your addon.
I think this would solve the second too, but I´m not 100% sure. If not, have a look at the SARI table in the SBO-Common database.
Hope helps,

Customise Sap Report -- Add logo and change report layout

Hi All,
I have a requirement to amend sap standard report to add logo and change layout, could some one pls point me to teh right direction. Should we .1 Create a new smartfrom if yes -- how to to create smartfroms
2. Should we create new Zreport...3. Is Adobe Interactive forms any good---- cld you please share the steps to create Adobe Ine Form 4. is sap script any good way in my situation
Thanks
Smith

Changes to SAP Standard are always a bit tricky, specially if we are talking about legal reports. If the standard report uses smartform, you can change the standard form without needing a SSCR key, so no need to create a Z report or smartform even, but like every change on SAP Standard, if further changes are made by SAP through Support packages you will always have to replicate them yourself everytime this happens. I would suggest creating a new Z report by copy of standard and new Z smartform, that way you can always recurr to the standard and see what was changed and then replicate them in you Z reports.
To create smartform, go to TCode smarforms and you can create one by copy of an existing smartform.
Adobe Interactive forms is more complex then smartforms and unless the standard uses a print form, i would not suggest you creating one as it will envolve a bit more knowledge.

Layout problem for Customised SAP Script ZQM_QCERT_01

hey guys,
i need to generate a customised layout for QM_QCERT_01 used in QC21 tcode.
I had copied QM_QCERT_01 INTO ZQM_QCERT_01 but after making changes in the HEADER,the table goes to second page and the alignment of all the fileds in table also gets changed. What should i do in this regard ??
Pls reply ,,,,<removed by moderator>
Thanks in Advance,
Ajay

With the information you provided, I think the easiest thing to do is to create a new copy. Or then you could check the differences by comparing the old and new smartform.

Error in customised SAP script for F-58

Hi experts,
I'm facing one strange error.
While doing F-58 transaction along with any Z-sapscript , the values are getting populated into fields of table REGUH (Settlement data from payment program).
One field REGUH-ZADNR (Payee's Address Number) the value coming as 'XXXXXXXXXX'.
while processing this value ...It results in runtime error as "CONVT_NO_NUMBER"
Unable to interpret "XXXXXXXXXX" as a number.
What could be the reason.
Any useful inputs on this will be rewared points.
Thanks
Lakshmiraj A

Well it is actually the functional guys task. For the payment run transaction F110 they have to do many configurations to maintain the payee, bank, cheque lot, company details etc. So better ask them to check the configuration of payment run, in that check if the payee has the correct address.
Hope it helps.
Please inspire by rewarding points.

Try these below steps:
In Business One from the main menu go to Administration -> License -> License Administration.
Select the user you wish to connect to the XL reporter.
Assign the user the SAP AddOn License.

SBO ADDON 绑定 SAP

ADDON在连接SBO的时候，怎么可以实现单一绑定SBO呢？以避免同时开启多个SAP的时候，ADDON开启多个，但是只在最后开启的SAP，或者第一个开启的SAP出现，也就是有没有方式使得
       Set SBO_Application = SboGuiApi.GetApplication(X) 中的X能自动修改，而不是：
      Set SBO_Application = SboGuiApi.GetApplication(-1)
     或
       Set SBO_Application = SboGuiApi.GetApplication(0)

Dear Matrix hu,
UI API 的ADD-ON 是通过Connection String 连接到当前运行的B1客户端的：
    '// connect to a running SBO Application
    SboGuiApi.Connect sConnectionString
SboGuiApi.GetApplication() 只是得到当前运行B1的一个运行实例，并不能用来区分多个B1客户端。

SAP system hang when start the addon.

Dear Expert,
I just upgrade one of the SAP B1 server from 2007A to SAP B1 8.8 PL15, everything going smooth both server and clients.
Except one client (new laptop with Win 7 Pro x86), this laptop fail to start the addon.
Others clients with same specs Win 7 Pro have no problem to start addon.
Addon started manually.
After click start button for that addon, the system hang. If without the addon system working fine.
If anyone have ideas to check much appreciate and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mat

Hi Bala,
I did try your steps, but no luck. System still hang when start the addon.
But, I can start SAP addon , example i try Screen Painter, and can start successfully. Only our addon cannot start.
I'm not suspect our addon because others client working smooth, even the server also working fine.
I did re-install DIAPI, even re-install SAP client a few time, but still fail to start addon (delete SAP client folder before install).
Any one face this problem?
Regards,
mat

How to add check box in SAP B1 grid controls..

hi all,
Anyone know how to add check box in SAP grid control?
It will be great if you could show me some sample code.
thanks.
regards,
sohch

Hi Sohch,
1. First of all you should define the Column in a matrix as it_CHECK_BOX. Like
        oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
        oColumn = oColumns.Add("chk_YesNo", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_CHECK_BOX)
        oColumn.TitleObject.Caption = "YesNo"
        oColumn.Width = 60
        oColumn.Editable = True
2. Bind it with a DBDataSource as defined
        oColumn = oColumns.Item("chk_YesNo")
        oColumn.DataBind.Bind("UDTable", "U_YesNo")
3. Make Sure that the value that is being put into the Database is either 'Y' or 'N'.
Hope this Helps

Hi hari,
I suggest you create you user tables, fields, keys, permissions through XML.
Here's a sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<BOM>
     <BO>
          <AdmInfo>
               <Object>153</Object>
          </AdmInfo>
          <OUTB>
               <row>
                    <TableName>TABLE_ID</TableName>
                    <Descr>TABLE_DESCRIPTION</Descr>
                    <ObjectType>1</ObjectType>
               </row>
          </OUTB>
     </BO>
     <BO>
          <AdmInfo>
               <Object>152</Object>
          </AdmInfo>
          <CUFD>
               <row>
                    <TableID>@TABLE_ID</TableID>
                    <AliasID>FIELD_NAME</AliasID>
                    <Descr>FIELD_DESCRIPTION</Descr>
                    <TypeID>A</TypeID>
                    <EditType></EditType>
                    <Dflt></Dflt>
                    <EditSize>100</EditSize>
               </row>
          </CUFD>
          <UFD1>
          </UFD1>
     </BO>
</BOM>
If you have already created the fields before (through code or through B1 UI), you can query the OUTB, CUFD and UFD1 tables to check what values you need to put in the XML file.
You can use the following function to process a single XML file with the definition of tables, fields, keys and permissions.
    Public Function LoadBDFromXML(ByRef oCompany As SAPbobsCOM.Company, ByRef oApplication As SAPbouiCOM.Application, _
            ByRef Directory As String, ByRef FileName As String) As Boolean

                BarraDeProgresso = oApplication.StatusBar.CreateProgressBar(UpdatingDB, 1, False)
            End If
            sXmlFileName = Directory & "" & FileName
            iElementCount = oCompany.GetXMLelementCount(sXmlFileName)

                            TranslateStr(oApplication, ErrUDO) & ", " & ex.ToString)
                        Finally
                            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oUDO)
                            oUDO = Nothing
                            GC.Collect()
                        End Try
                End Select
            Next iCounter
            If Not BarraDeProgresso Is Nothing Then
                BarraDeProgresso.Stop()
                BarraDeProgresso = Nothing
            End If
            LoadBDFromXML = True
        Catch ex As Exception
            If oCompany.InTransaction = True Then oCompany.EndTransaction(BoWfTransOpt.wf_RollBack)
            oApplication.MessageBox("LoadBDFromXML(" & FileName & "): " & oCompany.GetLastErrorCode.ToString & ", " & ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Function
Note: BarraDeProgresso is my progress bar.
You can also register UDO's through XML, but I prefer to do it by code.

How we can use the stored procedures in sap b one -pld,

HI , actualli i m a fresher in PLD and want to add a new field in preiview ofr which we have to bind the data using stored procedure which is the inbuilt given option for the properties of any field (in contents).Is anyone help me egarding this .
then pls mail me the solution at:[email protected]

Hi Premraj,
PLD only supports User Defined Queries generated through the Query Wizard or the Query Generator in the Reports Module of SAP B1. Though I would personally recommend NOT to use Stored Procedures since they are not supported by B1 solution certification guidelines. Instead take a look at PLD Tutorials available on the SDN Site and formulate a query accordingly.
