Error Starting XL Reporter - Unable to connect to SAP Business One DI API

Hi Experts,
I am getting the error message...
Unable to connect to SAP Business One DI API
[SAP Business One DI API]
Internal error (-8006) occurred [131-183]
...when trying to start XL Reporter on one client PC.  Until today, it has been working OK.
What needs to be done?
Thanks
Greig

Hi Gordon,
I thought that might be the answer.  Are there any set instructions for a 'clean' client uninstall?
Thanks
Greig

  • XL Reporter error Unable to Connect to SAP Business One DI API

    Hi Experts,
    Im getting this error on one of our clients' workstations.
    They have SAPB1 2005A PL 31.
    We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the DIAPI and the whole client application as well.  Same error.
    It als gives an error after the initial error that says:
    "Security Settings in Microsoft Excel prohibit XL Reporter from running."
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    hi jairus,
    To fix this XLR error 'unable to connect to SAP Business One DI API', do the following:
    1. Go to control panel and uninstall SAP DI API
    2. Run %temp%
    3. Rename the folder SM_OBS_DLL
    4. Go to the patch level package of the patch level you are using and install DI API. If you get a message that the installation already exists, ignore the message and proceed to install DI API.
    XLR should work properly.
    Best Regards,
    David

  • Mensaje: Unable to connect to SAP Business One

    SAP marca el siguiente error al abrir, estamos en SAP 8.8 SP0 PL 18 y desde el dia que se realizo la actualizacion a dicho parche a los usuarios les salen 2 ventanas que indican error, mas no hemos dado prioridad alta debido a que pese a que salen cada vez que ingresan a B1 no les ha causado conflicto al trabajar.
    La primer ventana dice con titulo XL Reporter : Unable to connect to SAP Bussines One.
    No se ha encontrado la clave de busqueda solicitada en ningun contexto de activación activa.
    La segunda ventana con titulo Mensaje del sistema: No se puede realizar el upgrade del add-on. El archivo AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo no coincide con los datos de la base de datos Common del add-on. Consulte SAP 1323680
    De esta ventana esta claro lo que se sugiere en la nota de SAP pero hay un archivo que no hemos podido localizar de nombre "AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo" aprovechando si alguien sabe en que carpeta se ubica se los agradecere.

    Ese fichero esta localizado en c:archivos de programasapsap business oneAddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo y hay otro que es AddOnsInstall.sbo
    Estos ficheros contienen los Addon instalados. Deberías vaciarlos de contenido.
    Editas el fichero con el notepad y en la primera línea debes dejar "" y borrar el resto de texto que hay.
    Después deberías también borrar en el temporal del usuario la carpeta "SM_OBS_DLL", para esto tecleas en inicio - ejecutar - %temp% y lo localizas facilmente.
    Cuando accedas de nuevo a SAP no detectará ningún addon instalado y forzará la desinstalación e instalación de los addon

  • Unable to create new connection using SAP Business One

    Hi all,
    I am unable to make a connection using the new SAP Business One connetion provided with the 8.8 release of SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.
    There are no Companies available to select from.  When I try to manually type in the company name, the logon fails.  If I then press "Cancel", I get a message that Crystal reports encountered a problem and needs to close.  The details of the error refers to the following DLL: crdb_b1.dll.
    The connection is successful from another PC that only has the Client installed (and uses the License server on our server, which also contains the databases.)
    I have a local installation with my own license server.  I am not even able to connect to the database on my local PC.
    Please can anyone explain why this isn't working?
    Regards,
    Rikard

    Hi Rikard,
    You may get better help if you post your question to the Business One forum. I can' t move your post.

  • Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

    Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
    Let's start with the software versions:
    - Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
    - SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
    - Windows XP SP3
    (SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
    What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
    - I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
    - I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
    - I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
    - I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
    I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
    Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
    Logon Failed.
    Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
    Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
    (On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
    Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

    Hi,
    When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
    There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
    Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
    Best regards,
    Darius

  • Installation error of SAP Business One Client after server disconnection

    Hello,
    While installing the SAP Business One Client to my laptop, the SAP server network connection accidentally interrupted and my installation breaks off. I did cancel the setup and try to remove the SAP Business One DI API using uninstaller. After removing the corrupted application I tried to run again the setup.exe from the server but I got this error:
    Previous version of SAP Business One DI API uninstallation failed:
    sapserver\B1_SHR\Client\SAP DIAPI Installation\setup.exe
    SAP Business One Client installation will be aborted.
    I also tried to remove the registry files using some registry cleaner but still I got the error.
    Encountered something like this before? Need some help, thanks in advance!

    Hi All,
    Sorry to re open this thread, but I am having a similar issue in attempting to upgrade a 2007 installation to 8.81.
    When attempting the upgrade Server Tools, SDK, and even Client wont uninstall from either the upgrade process or manually from control panel.
    I have conducted all the mentioned solutions as well as running registry cleaner all to no effect.
    I have even attempted re installing the 2007 application but this returns a 1612 install shield error.
    Any advice would be higher appreciated.

  • BO 4.0 - Database error: Unable to connect to SAP BW Incomplete logon data

    Hello Experts,
    I have enabled a 'SSO to database' between SAP BW and Business objects by referencing to the documents related to below link.
    [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowtosetupSSOagainstSAPBWinSBOBI4.0forLDAPusers]
    I have created a universe connection with option 'use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time' and have created a universe on top of my BEx query by log-in to the universe designer tools using my LDAP account.
    Now when I run the report with either SAP account or LDAP - I am able to run a adhoc webi report on this universe and get data either through the webi rich client or via BO 4.0 Info-view/Launch Pad.
    But the issue is that when other users are trying to run webi queries on this universe either through Info-view/launch pad or rich client by log-in via LDAP Authentication - they get the below error: I have given SAP_ALL to this user for time being and also have done the necessary configuration for 'simple user format' in CMC so these user has 1 account with 3 alias definitions: Enterprise, SAP, R/3.
    Database error: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data -
    If the user logs on into the BO 4.0 Info-view/launch pad or webi rich client using his SAP authentication than he is able to run and retrieve data.
    I also get a dump in the SAP BW system - I analyzed the dump in SAP BW using st22 tcode and it gives the error short text as - Incomplete logon data and run-time error -  CALL_FUNCTION_SIGNON_INCOMPL
    Desired outcome:
    I want the users to log-in to webi rich client or BO 4.0 Launch pad/Info-view using their 'LDAP'  authentication and run reports against the universe on SAP BW/BEx query without any errors or additional username/password requirements.
    Can someone please tell me if I am missing any steps/configuration and guide me to achieve the above mentioned desired result ?
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & regards,
    CD.

    Hi Simone,
    Thank you for the reply.
    Here are the things done by me.
    1. Generated the keystore file and imported it in BI 4.0 CMC on  SAP Authentication Option tab
        ([http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/GeneratekeystoreandcertificateforSAPBO+BI4.0])
        ([http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/SetupofSAPSSOServiceinSAPBOBI4.0+CMC])
    2. Generate the certificate file cert.der and this cert is imported in SAP BW with STRUSTSSO2 transaction.
        ([http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/ImportSAPBOBI4.0certificateintoSAP+BW])
    3. BW Roles/Users have been imported into CMC.
    4. SAP Users and LDAP users are mapped/aliased with each other using the registry key method
        ([http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowtomapSAPusersandLDAPusersinSBOBI4.0+CMC])
    I haven't explicitly configured STS (Security token service) as STS is a part of Adaptive processing server (APS) and I have verified that by going to servers in CMC and then to analysis services.
    I have searched for SAP OSS notes related to my issue but couldn't find any note related to SAP BW SSO with Business objects 4.0. Most of the notes are relevant for BO XI 3.1 environments.
    Thanks & regards,
    CD.
