Laptop Business one Installation

Hi,
My question is about laptop installation.My operating system is MS XP home edition.Should I install SQL enterprise edition for business one installation? I think this implementation is not the same as the client installation,because of the fact that my laptop have to be not only a client also a server.I have tried to install sql enterprise edition and Business one but I had some diffuculties by licence server installation.A server was searched by the system to log on.I'm waiting for your response.Thanks for your help.

I was not able to install the enterprise version, too. If I remember right, the error message told me i need to install it on a server os (w2k server) - just as you said.
Fidan:
Just download the MSDE from Microsoft, it's free:

Probably you do not have any problems with it, just install by executing the setup

SAP BUSINESS ONE INSTALLATION ERROR

Hi Experts,
I was installing SAP Business one PL5 on a client's computer.
During the Server tools installation we are prompted to enter a password for B1SiteUser. It installs successfully but during the SAP Business one Sever installation I get an error when I enter the B1siteuser I entered earlier.
Attached is the error .
Please urgent help will be much appreciated.
Regards
Justice

Hi Justice,
I had faced the same error while installing.
What you can do is first uninstall server tools
1)delete the SAP folder which would have been
created in the C:Porgam files.(Default).If its another location just check and delete it permanently.
2)Then in the MSSQL Server ->SQL Configuration manager ->Protocols for MSSQLSERVER->enable TCP/IP
3)Install the server tools and Enter b1 site user password again(this option will come only if you delete the SAP folder ).preferably use different password then what you used for Database password.
4)While installing the Server, keep open the SQL configuration manager the License authentication screen wont popup, directly you will go to next installation step.
It worked for me, hope it helps

Know more detail about the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One ?

SAP Business One 9.1 is about to release this year and we can see in the feature enhancements that a significant update is planned in the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One, more commonly known as RSP. Let’s have a quick look what update is planned for RSP in version 9.1:
Enhancements planned in Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One 9.1
RSP is planned to support both SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server as well as SAP Business One on HANA Database
RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both   on SQL Server and HANA.
But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
Company Database Backup and Restore options
Regular fixes of Company Database inconsistencies
Check, Download and Install regular updates in SAP Business One
Upload Logs and required files to SAP Support or to Partner Support on regular basis
Some details about RSP Backup Management
Schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups
Perform differential and full database backups
Back up transaction logs
Back up files to shared folders on a network
System Status Report through RSP
From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from Remote Support Platform (RSP) for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etc).
Database uploads only via RSP
From June 1st 2013 SAP Business One Support will only accept database uploads to SAP via remote support platform for SAP Business One. In certain exceptional circumstances STFP may be used but this will constitute a minority of cases.
Microsoft Windows PowerShell Scripting
In the remote support platform studio, you can create tasks using Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting. PowerShell enables you to perform remote administrative tasks on customers’ Microsoft Windows operating systems, by providing full access to Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).Some Network Prerequisite for RSP
To achieve the internet connection test, you must allow port 80 for the RSP external communication
Disabling antivirus firewall or add the RSP to the trusted zone of the antivirus
Set the correct proxy
Disabling Windows firewall in the TP_link Wireless Configuration Utility

Business One and Citrix

Iu2019d like to start a general discussion regarding the use of Business One over Citrix Presentation Server/XenApp. Specifically, how best to design this type of solution and how to overcome any obstacles that may result.
For example, my company is currently working on planning and designing a project to consolidate multiple remote Business One installations back to the corporate headquarters and using XenApp to publish the Business One client to these remote offices. This has already raised a few questions that I was hoping to get some insight on.
First, we are consolidating remote offices running both the 2007A and 2007B versions of B1. How can we publish both versions simultaneously? We envisioned installing at least two B1 servers, one for 2007A and one for 2007B, then we assumed we would have to run the B1 client on the XenApp servers either in an isolation environment or as profiled applications streamed to the XenApp servers. Is anybody else publishing both versions of the B1 client? If so, are there any issues that need to be dealt with?
Second, would you recommend installing one B1 server for each remote office/company to connect to or would you recommend connecting each separate remote office/company to the same B1 server (specific to the B1 version they need to connect to)? There are pros and cons to each scenario. If each remote office/ company has their own B1 server, they can be kept at different patch levels and the servers can be upgraded or rebooted without affecting other users, however this results in additional overhead for hardware (even if running the B1 servers as VMs) and maintenance. If each remote office/company uses the same B1 server specific to their needed version, then administrative overhead is reduced, but all will need to be kept at the same patch level and issues or reboots will affect all connected users. Also, are there issues with add-ons that are site specific, will we need to run multiple B1 servers to achieve this functionality? Are there limitations on the number of users that can connect through one B1 server, taking into consideration that different users will be connecting to different companies/databases simultaneously?
Our original overall design will consist of one SQL server for all necessary databases, one Citrix Licensing/Web Interface/Secure Gateway server, at least two (maybe more) B1 servers running 2007A and 2007B, and at least three Citrix XenApp/Presentation servers running the B1 clients.
If anybody has any questions or comments, Iu2019d love to hear them. Thank you.

My comments:
It is good intention that you try to solve all the problem in one shot. However, this is in contradiction to the forum rule. You would be better to split your questions one by one.
Another hint: the format of your message is too heavy for other users to read. You may need to reformat it in new thread so that it is not that difficult to read.

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!
Regards,
Ren

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.

Business One Client installation issue

Last Friday we upgraded our SAP Busness One to 8.81 from 8.8 and the update launched for the client installation on XP Pro box, but the installation got interupted and did not complete. I was faced with the problem that I can't uninstall the old client with Add/Remove programs as it has an error that files are missing. the same is if I click on the Setup.exe in the Client shared folder, it wants to uninstall the old version, but bombs as it is missing files.
The question is how do I manually uninstall the old client so I can do a new install of the new version?
As a bandaid, I was able to upgrade another XP Pro box and copy the directory into the probelm one and it lets SAP Business One run. However, I am missing a couple of registry entries.

Same happen to me month back , it was unable to uninstall or remove registry from the system and when we start the new setup it says you already have SAP B1 installed in your system. I check the Program Files folder and there is no SAP folder in it .
Solution but not a professional one...
Just copy the SAP folder from other system which has client installed and working properly and paste it into Program Files .
Now you can run SAP

SAP Business One 9 on HANA - AddOn "AddOnName" Installation Failed

Hi,
I'm trying to install an add-on in a SAP Business One 9 on HANA (64 bits) but i'm facing a problem:
- The add-on installation (from the add-on Manager Form) on windows finish correctly, but after a few seconds the system shows a Message box with "Please wait for add-on installation to finish .....Select Yes if installation finished succesfully, otherwise select No" . After that (YES option selection) the system shows "AddOn [AddOnName]: Installation Failed"
The making of the .ard file (AddOn registration file) was the same that the generation of .ard file for the SAP Business One 9 for SQL Server (here the addon works correctly). The only difference was the replacement of the DI API dll, UI API dll, AddOnRegGenerator and the AddOnInstalAPI.
Please Help!..
Thanks...

Hi,
When generating the ard file for the installer, there is a property that defines whether the addon is a 64bit addon.

Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

Dear community,
I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
- The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights. As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
- End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator. This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
Question 1:
Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
Question 2:
Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
Question 3:
If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
Thank you
Best regards

SAP Business One Product Management

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
@Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
Questions:
If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
- Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
- Can you configure such a shared directory?
From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
2. Automatic update:
- Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
- If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
Best regards
Jan

Business One T-Installation and Contract differences

Dear All,
What are the differences between Business One T-Installation and Contract ? Where could I find the file explain about it ?
TIA
Rgd,
Steve

I am sure that there is no specific different that will give bad influence for the customers of SAP B1.
I suggest you to ask the sales or marketing dept. It seems that they could know it more detail about it or asking SAP support can also be helpful
Rgds,

Installation Guide of SAP Business One...Please help... :)

Hello All,
Am new to SAP Business One and struggling with the installation.
Request you all to please send me sone links or documents (along with pre-requsitites) using which I can install the same.
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Ritu

Hello Ritu,
Which version do you use?
Anyway, a setup guide can be found in the "Documents" folder of the installation package - or CD - including a description of prerequisites / minimum requirements etc.
When you are struggeling with the installation I assume you have that document and just did not dicover it yet?!
Regards,
Frank
BTW: There are other forums (see here: SAP Business One Forum news... - Pre-release of 2005A SP01 for testing) where such a question might suit even better - since this one is around the SAP Business One SDK

How many installs? I have an old pc that is 7 years old, 2 recent laptops. only one user, me.

How many license installs? I have an old pc w 1 TB that is 7 years old, 2 recent used (HP and Dell) laptops. only one user, me. I have an external 4 TB drive that I want to bring in pictures from and edit. I want to find out which is better. Am I allowed to install 2 at a time, deactivate one and add another, and then finally removing all but one license.

Yes, you are allowed two activations at any one time. Once you have deactivated one, it is free for use on another.

Trying to install SAP Business One 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional pc

Hi, i am trying to install SAP Business One V 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional laptop. I need to install the server and client sides. I have already installed SQL server express 2005.
When i try to to install the server software I get the error message 1628 installation failed almost straight away. I ket the same message if I try and install the server tools, SBo server or outlook integration.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Simon

Hi Simon,
Solution to Problem ID :1618
Try the following Steps :
1. Clear the 'Temporary' Folder of Windows 7 : Start ->Run->%temp%->Press 'Enter'->Select All & Delete
2. Restart your machine. (This is Must)
Actually it keeps an image of the previous installations, so always for re-installation you need to perform this steps.
Same is with Win 2008 Server editions also.
Now proceed with the installation and remember always run SBO installations in Windows 7 and 2008 Server by clicking on 'Run as Administrator'
Hope your problem would be solved.

Saikat Roy

Business One License Server Reinstallation

Hi,
I installed a demo version of SAP Business One on my laptop and did not use it for a while after the demo license expired.
I now have a valid license I can use but I cannot remember the B1SiteUser password. I uninstalled Business One Server Tools but while trying to reinstall the solution, it asked for the B1SiteUser password and I cannot go beyond this stage.
I need to remove the previous installation, install a fresh copy with the license I have and be able to create a new B1SiteUser password.
I will appreciate any help with this.
Regards
Debola

Hi Rahul,
Thanks for the response. I do know that I can change the password from License Manager but I would need the current password which i cannot remember.
I cannot remember the current password and attempt to uninstall and reinstall is not working because it asked for the B1SiteUser password as part of the installation process when re installing the server tool.
Is there something i need to do to be able to set up a new B1SiteUser account as part of the installation process?
Regards
Debola
