Error creating user defined tables: Ref count (-1120)

Hi all !
I have to create user defined tables per code, so I wrote 2 main functions, first to create a table (with TableName,TableType and TableDescription properties)and and second to add fields (to a certain table which is sent as parameter).
I call these functions to create multiple tables. For the first 6 tables it works totally ok. But beginning from the 7th table it gives that "Ref count for this object is higher then 0. " (-1120) error. All parameters are ok just as the first 6 tables.
Found such an explanation like below in help files.
The DI API allows only one instance of a meta data object at a time. This maintains data integrity by preventing any manipulation of a business object while modifying the object's user fields. Therefore, verify that no other DI object is active except the meta data object.
But why do I get such an error after sixth call of the function (but not beginning from the second table )?

Gül,
Have you tried doing some grbage collection?

What the best way to create User defined table with ADDON purpose

Hi folks, how are you ?
I´m beginner in development to business one, and I m studying to develop ISV addons.
But, during my exercises and analisys, I learned that have two ways to create tables and fields in business one. One way is throght by wizard in business one using Tools Menu > Configuration Tools > User Defined Tables >
Obs: I ´m using Business One Patch Level 9.
Other way, is create the tables and fields using DI API
But, my question is. When I develop one addon, or one UDO form that uses one set of user defined tables or used defined fields that where created by the first way (by wizard in B1), how I deploy this in other business one installation ? The package process will ensure the creation of this tables in another enviroment or I must implement the creation of user defined tables using DI API so that this code is called during the installation?
If in cases of addon develop I must use DI API to create user defined tables, How can I use my classes with this responsibility in package process ?
Thanks my friends.

Hi Renan,
You just need to put your logic in to the startup of your application, after you've established your connection to the UI API and DI API. All this will be triggered in the constructor of your main class.
namespace MyNamespace
public class MyAddon
bool runAddon = true;
bool initialised = false;
const string ADDON_NAME = "My Addon";
public static void Main()
        MyAddon addOn = new MyAddon();
        if(runAddon)
              System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run();
        else
         Application.Exit();
public MyAddon()
        // Connect to SBO session for UI
        if(!SetApplication()) runAddon = false;
private bool SetApplication()
        // Code goes in here to establish UI API and DI API connections
        // See SDK samples for examples
        // You should also define and filter the UI API events your addon will trap at this stage and create any menus
        // Call your routine to check if the required UDFs/UDTs exist on this company
        initialised = CheckInitialisation();
        if (!initialised)
           // AddOn not yet intialised on this company so prompt the user to run the intialisation process
          int iResponse = app.MessageBox("The " + ADDON_NAME + " addon will now create all required fields and tables."
                                         + System.Environment.NewLine + System.Environment.NewLine
                                         + "WARNING: It is strongly recommended that all other users are logged out of this company "
                                         + "before running this process. Are you sure you wish to continue?", 2, "Yes", "No", "");
          if (iResponse == 1) initialised = InitialiseAddOn(); // Call your routine to create the objects
        return true;

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.

Creating user defined table

how make new table as i need in sap b1 and also tell me how to insert update data in that table
thanks and regards
Parag

If you need to add table using a program, you have to use the UserTableMD object. Once table is created you can add fields using UserFieldsMD object.
Help is available with SDK help center.
Once table is created, you can add data using RecordSet objects, UserTables Objects etc.
You can also create table and fields using SBO (Tools->Customization Tools->User-Defined Tables - Setup...) and
(Tools->Customization Tools->User-Defined Fields - Management...) etc.

Problem creating User Defined Table

Thanks,

Hi Gopal,
Please note that GetByKey on a meta data object already makes it necessary to release the object (in your case "m").
In general you should use .NET's ReleaseCOMObject (see here:
SBO-SDK Consult : Releasing COM Object in .NET) to get rid of the "reference", but note that you most likely will have to set the object variable to null.
Alternatively setting the variable to null + a call to GC.Collect() might could do the trick, but GC.Collect() apparently works asynchronously! So, the COM object might not really have been released yet when you try to reuse the variable. GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers might work better.

Error while linking user defined table to user defined field using vb6.0

Hi,
I am creating a userdefined field on a SAPB1 table(PDN1) using vb 6.0
I am trying to link this field to a user defined table.
When i do that i get the following error:
"The field 'Related table' should consist of 8 alphanumeric chracters with no valid or default values"
When i try to do the same thing from SAPB1(not using code) there is no such problem.
My vb code is as follows:
Set oUserFieldsMD = oCmp.GetBusinessObject(oUserFields)
oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "PDN1"
oUserFieldsMD.Name = "OB_Locn"
oUserFieldsMD.Description = "WH Location"
oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha
oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 30
lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add
If lRetCode <> 0 Then
 oCmp.GetLastError lErrCode, sErrMsg
 MsgBox sErrMsg
 GoTo Err_
End If
If Not oUserFieldsMD.GetByKey("PDN1", 0) Then
 MsgBox "Error"
 GoTo Err_
End If
oUserFieldsMD.LinkedTable = "OB_TEST"
lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Update
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Great Sébastien!
Looks like we could not survive here one day without your contribution
Best regards,
Frank
PS: For readers of this thread who don't understand why
EditSize
must be "8":
This is the size of the
Code
field in the user-defined table to which the new field OB_Locn (in the DB it will be U_OB_Locn) is linked to...
So, it should be preferrably of the same size.

Any help would be highly appreciated...
Thanks

Hi
1. In the 2nd table call the field of the 1st table which is a primary key.
2. Give the same field and dataelement name.
3. Select that field and then click on the foreign key field icon which is beside Search Help button.
4. Then give short text, and the 1st table name.
5. Then in the below box give the 2nd table name and 2nd table field name which you have called from 1st table.
6. Then click on copy, then u will be able to see Check table name and check table field name beside foreign key table name.
7. Then again click on copy.

DI error when binding user defined table

Hi,
I am using matrix. Im binding a User defined table '@NEW' to a Datasource
oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("@NEW")
I also bind the fields to column of the matrix as given below
oColumn = oColumns.Item("CodeNo")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@NEW", "U_CodeNo")
When the table @New contains no records i get error while binding the fields to the matrix.
I tried the same using STANDARD SAP tables.I am not getting any error and it works fine.
Can anyone help me?

8i personal : error when Create user defined aggregate function

Hi,
I have problem on creating user defined aggregate function.
I try to create the sample aggregate function "SecondMax" from 9i developer guide(append at the end of this post).
It's work to create object type and the type body, but
there is error when I create the aggregate function..
"CREATE FUNCTION SecondMax (input NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING SecondMaxImpl;"
I am using 8i personal now.. is that the syntax of create function in 9i is different from that in 8i?
Example: Creating and Using a User-Defined Aggregate
This example illustrates creating a simple user-defined aggregate function SecondMax() that returns the second-largest value in a set of numbers.
Creating SecondMax()
Implement the type SecondMaxImpl to contain the ODCIAggregate routines.
create type SecondMaxImpl as object
max NUMBER, -- highest value seen so far
secmax NUMBER, -- second highest value seen so far
static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT SecondMaxImpl)
return number,
member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl,
value IN number) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN SecondMaxImpl,
returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl,
ctx2 IN SecondMaxImpl) return number
Implement the type body for SecondMaxImpl.
create or replace type body SecondMaxImpl is
static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT SecondMaxImpl)
return number is
begin
sctx := SecondMaxImpl(0, 0);
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl, value IN number)
return number is
begin
if value > self.max then
self.secmax := self.max;
self.max := value;
elsif value > self.secmax then
self.secmax := value;
end if;
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN SecondMaxImpl, returnValue OUT
number, flags IN number) return number is
begin
returnValue := self.secmax;
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl, ctx2 IN
SecondMaxImpl) return number is
begin
if ctx2.max > self.max then
if ctx2.secmax > self.secmax then
self.secmax := ctx2.secmax;
else
self.secmax := self.max;
end if;
self.max := ctx2.max;
elsif ctx2.max > self.secmax then
self.secmax := ctx2.max;
end if;
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
end;
Create the user-defined aggregate.
CREATE FUNCTION SecondMax (input NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING SecondMaxImpl;
Using SecondMax()
SELECT SecondMax(salary), department_id
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING SecondMax(salary) > 9000;

This could be a x64/x86 problem. Try following this thread
[GetCompanyService|GetCompanyService] and recompile your code for the platform you need.

UDT and UDF - User-defined Tables and Fields

Dear All,
I am writing a Query to permit the Cashier to check her Cash entries and balances on a Daily basis.
Basically, it's a General Ledger, but I want the Query - Selection Criteria window to display only a few GL codes namely GL codes 1240601, 1240602, 1240603 etc.
I don't know if I am doing it right. This is what I did (SAP B1 8.8):
UDT
I created a UDT called TEST2 using:
Tools -> Customization Tools -> User-defined Tables - Setup
UDF
Then I created a field in the UDT called GlCod using User-Defined Fields - Management
Title : GlCod
Description : GL Code
Type : Alphanumeric 30
Field Data
In the Field Data window, I ticked the Set Valid Values for Fields checkbox and filled in the blanks as follows:
# Value Description
1 1240601 Cash in Hand (Rs)
2 1240602 Cash in Hand (USD Notes)
3 1240603 Cash in Hand (Euro Notes)
etc...
Query
Then I wrote my Query (see below).
When I run it, I get the Selection Criteria screen as I wanted:
Query - Selection Criteria
GL Code ............... (arrow here)
Posting Date ...............
[OK] [Cancel]
When I click on the GL Code arrow, I get a window with the exact choices I need. It looks like this:
1240601 - Cash in Hand (Rs)
1240602 - Cash in Hand (USD Notes)
1240603 - Cash in Hand (Euro Notes)
Executing the Query
The Query seems to run normally, but nothing is generated on the screen, and there's no Error Message.
What can be wrong about this query?
I suspect that the GL codes in JDT1 and TEST2 are not of the same data type, so that INNER JOIN returns nothing.
Thanks,
Leon Lai
Here's my SQL
declare @TEST2 TABLE
(GlCod varchar(30))
declare @GlCod nvarchar (30)
set @GlCod =/*SELECT T0.U_GlCod from [dbo].[@TEST2] T0 where T0.U_GlCod=*/ '[%0]'
declare @refdt datetime
set @ref=/*SELECT T1.RefDate from [dbo].[JDT1] T1 where T1.RefDate=*/ '[%1]'
select
t1.Account as 'GL Code',
t1.RefDate as 'Posting Date',
t0.U_GlCod as 'Restricted GL Codes'
from JDT1 T1
INNER JOIN @TEST2 T0 ON T0.[U_GlCod] = T1.[Account]
WHERE
t1.RefDate <= @refdt
and
t0.U_GLCod = @GlCod

Try this:
declare @GlCod nvarchar (30)
set @GlCod =/*SELECT T0.U_GlCod from [dbo].[@TEST2] T0 where T0.U_GlCod=*/ '[%0]'
declare @refdt datetime
set @refdt=/*SELECT T1.RefDate from [dbo].[JDT1] T1 where T1.RefDate=*/ '[%1]'
select
t1.Account as 'GL Code',
t1.RefDate as 'Posting Date'
from JDT1 T1
WHERE
t1.RefDate <= @refdt
and
T1.[Account] = @GlCod
(There is no need to declare the memoria table @test2 if you already created one table with this name.
And there is no need to a join.)

Attach User define tables and view table need add to database into my add-o

Hi there,
I want to deploy an addon, there are User define tables and view table need add to database.
I need some advice on some issues..
1. Can I attach User define tables and view table need add to database into my addon.
2. I wonder which chance is properly to add them, if add these user define objects in time of install and I can't get the enough information that connect to SQL server
Thanks for any help.

Hi Weerachai,
Here's an example of how to create a user-defined table in code. My suggestion would be to check if it exists when your add-on starts up and then if not, create the tables, fields and objects.
'User Table
 Private Sub CreateTable(ByVal sTable As String, ByVal sDescription As String, ByVal oObjectType As SAPbobsCOM.BoUTBTableType)
 Dim oUserTablesMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserTablesMD
 Dim iResult As Long
 Dim sMsg As String
 oUserTablesMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserTables)
 If Not oUserTablesMD.GetByKey(sTable) Then
 oUserTablesMD.TableName = sTable
 oUserTablesMD.TableDescription = sDescription
 oUserTablesMD.TableType = oObjectType
 iResult = oUserTablesMD.Add()
 If iResult <> 0 Then
 oCompany.GetLastError(iResult, sMsg)
 MessageBox.Show("Error Creating Table: " & sTable & " Error: " & sMsg)
 End If
 End If
 System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oUserTablesMD)
 End Sub
'User Field
 Private Sub CreateField(ByVal sTable As String, ByVal sName As String, ByVal sDescription As String, _
 ByVal iSize As Integer, ByVal aFieldType As SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes, _
 ByVal aSubType As SAPbobsCOM.BoFldSubTypes, ByVal sLink As String, _
 ByVal bMandatory As SAPbobsCOM.BoYesNoEnum)
 Dim oUserFieldsMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
 Dim oTable As SAPbobsCOM.UserTable
 Dim iResult As Long
 Dim sMsg As String
 Dim i As Integer
 Dim x As Integer
 Dim bFound As Boolean = False
 Dim oField As SAPbobsCOM.Field
 oTable = oCompany.UserTables.Item(sTable)
 For i = 0 To oTable.UserFields.Fields.Count - 1
 oField = oTable.UserFields.Fields.Item(i)
 'MessageBox.Show(oField.Name)
 If oField.Name = "U_" & sName Then
 bFound = True
 End If
 Next
 System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oTable)
 If Not bFound Then
 oUserFieldsMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields)
 oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "@" & sTable
 oUserFieldsMD.Name = sName
 oUserFieldsMD.Description = sDescription
 oUserFieldsMD.Type = aFieldType
 If aFieldType = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha Or aFieldType = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Numeric Then
 oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = iSize
 Else
 oUserFieldsMD.SubType = aSubType
 oUserFieldsMD.Mandatory = bMandatory
 End If
 oUserFieldsMD.LinkedTable = sLink
 iResult = oUserFieldsMD.Add()
 If iResult <> 0 Then
 oCompany.GetLastError(iResult, sMsg)
 MessageBox.Show("Error Creating Field: " & sTable & "." & sName & " Error: " & sMsg)
 End If
 System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oUserFieldsMD)
 End If
 End Sub
If you want to create a View I think you would have to use the RecordSet object. This will ensure that you don't have to log in to the database again
Hope it helps,
Adele
