Hello Thomas,
Make sure that all components of SAP have the same Patch Level to avoid any conflict in the future. If you use SBO2005 PL02, then all the DI API, DI Server etc must also be in PL02. Hope this helps...

SBO-Common error when Using oRecordSet = oCompany.GetCompanyList

Good Day
Experts:
I am having a bit of trouble running the code in the COM DI\05.OrderAndInvoice sample.
On the line --> oRecordSet = oCompany.GetCompanyList
An error appears "Connection to SBO-Common has failed".
I would like to do the same thing in one of my screens but I cannot even get the sample to work. I am not sure
what connecting to SBO-Common does but appearently I need that since the sample or my application does not work.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
EJD

Add-On connection for Journal Entry - Failed to Connect to SBO Common

We have a customer (SAPBO 2005A SP01 PL29) with some specific requirements that required an add-on running in the background to monitor the addition of Goods Receipt PO's to the system. When the GRPO is successfully added, the Add-On will (behind the scenes) create an appropriate Journal Entry through the SAP DI. One of the issues that we encountered during the development of this functionality was that when it was tested by users, they weren't authorized to access the Financials module or the Journal Entry screen. What we ended up doing was creating a secondary connection (vCompany) in the DL pulling the information from the encrypted user information from SAP the Add-On used to connect, but utilizing a management level user ID and password. Once that connection has been made, the Journal Entry is added through the DI and that secondary connection is disconnected.
The problem that we're encountering is this. When the users are logged into SAP Client with an regular user, and the GRPO adds, the secondary connection fails and returns a message of "Failed to Connect to SBO-Common". However, if the user is logged into SAP as an adminitrative level user and the GRPO is added, the secondary connection is successful and the Journal Entry is created. The secondary connection is strictly used for the JE. Here's the code (VS.Net 2005) for the secondary connection:
vCompany = New SAPbobsCOM.Company
vCompany.UseTrusted = True
vCompany.language = SAPbobsCOM.BoSuppLangs.ln_English
vCompany.CompanyDB = oCompany.CompanyDB
vCompany.UserName = "XXXXX"
vCompany.Password = "YYYYY"
vCompany.Server = oCompany.Server
vCompany.DbServerType = SAPbobsCOM.BoDataServerTypes.dst_MSSQL2005
lRetConnect = vCompany.Connect()
Where "XXXXX" would be the appropriate management level SAP User Name and "YYYYY" would be that users password.
Has anyone else had this kind of issue where you needed a secondary connection with management level access behind the scenes to accomplish something in SAP and had problems getting it to connect? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dennis,
what you can try is to make a untrusted connection
oCompany.UseTrusted = False
and set the DBUser and Pwd
oCompany.DbUserName = "sa"
oCompany.DbPassword = "insertpwd"

SBO Common Failed Error

Hi
Am facing the SBO Common Failed (-111)(fff)Error while connecting the Server thru DI API Connection Object form my Add on.

You should also check the OBSCommon user in the SQL Enterprise manager. This error also pops up when the OBSCommon user's loginname is not the same as the Name. Both should be OBSCommon. If this is not the case delete the OBSCommon user and add it again with the right name and loginname. Just make sure that you also give this user the db_owner role.
Hope this helps...

Hi,
Please check:
1.Ensure you have the correct DB Type selected under the Login options.
2.Verify that all connection information is correct (for example, the correct user name and password or the user has enough right to connect to the database server in case Windows Authentication is used).
3. Check whether the database is running properly, make sure that the COMMON and company databases are not suspended or stopped.
4. Ensure there is no DI API version mismatch.

2007 B Upgrade - Cannot connect to SBO-COMMON db

Hi,
Trying to upgrade SBO 2005B PL43 to SBO 2007B PL07.
The SBO -Common database exist
The SQL Express <TCP and Pipes> enable
In the SBO Common Upgrade, when I enter the correct server name, user, password and press OK, i get the follow error:
"The Connection to the specified server has failed"
"Check your password and the that server exist on the network"
Any idea?
Tanks

Hi Marcio
In 2007 you must specify the server type as SQL or SQL_2005 (Type 1 or Type 4). There are also limitations in 2007 with respect to SQL Express. The best is to check the supported databases on the portal or check with your local SAP office.
Kind regards

Creating user defined table in SBO-COMMON

Hello experts,
I'd like to create a user defined table in SBO-COMMON. I'll tell you why:
I have successfully created a SAP B1 addon which adds freight costs to an order if the total amount is under a certain threshold. We have 2 administrations running, a live one and a test administration. We have put the connectionstring to determine the expense code of the freight costs in the exe.config-file of the addon.
We want to be able to point the addon from one administration to the other by modifying only one value, a centralized value, independent of SAP administration. The most proper way to do that in my opinion is to put it in SBO-COMMON and the only logical way to do that is a user defined table in SBO-COMMON.
Is there such a way?
My alternative is to abuse another database on the server and just add the info there, but I'd prefer to store it in SBO-COMMON.
Thanks for your time!
Vincent

UDT cannot be created in sbo-common. You may create new db and work with table in this db (but it will be not UDT, but standard sql table), or create new company db only for this purposes and create UDT there.

Truncate or Shrink the SBO-COMMON Database in B1.

Hello everybody!!
I need to know if it's safe to either truncate or shrink the SBO-COMMON database. I kow all recovery trail will be lost, but that doesn't matter much, since I'm planning to switch from "full recovery" to "simple" recovery model. The database is backed up on a daily basis, so only the last back up of the databse is relevant.
In notes 625546, 783183 and 548772 SAP clearly states that truncating or shrinking a production database is a safe procedure, but what about the SBO-COMMON? I guess one can follow the same rationale as in the production databases, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any valuable help.
Emilio Méndez.

Ross:
Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm still triyng to get official word from SAP through a message in the Market Place. Anyhow, I'm going to take your adivce as a "best practice" for a reasonable maintenace plan to the databases used by B1.
I'm only waiting for some other comments before I mark the thread as "answered".
Thanks a lot for the help,
Emilio Mendez.

License allocation table in SBO-COMMON database

Hi all,
Does anyone know which table in SBO-COMMON database stores the information regarding the license allocation?
This would help me a lot 'cause I need to update that table in order to rescue a license that was blocked when I deleted a company database.
Please advise.
Victor

Hi Victor.
This info is not saved in any tables. They are in B1upf.xml which under licensing server. You can backup and recreate the file by reassign all licenses.
Thanks,
Gordon
