Looking to switch career from Java to SAP Business One

Hi All,
I have around 4 yrs of experience in JAVA/J2EE application development.I am planning to switch my career into SAP(in Technofuctional module).Actually, I want to switch my career from coding to functional domain(in SAP) but i don't know how to get into it.I want to work as close as to the business and get use of my technical background because that's all I got so far. Please guide me which SAP module i would choose to build my career and what steps i should take .
Thank You

Hi SunnyB
SAP Business one is an intergrated solution with all domains in one application. Things like purchasing, materials, finance, crystal reports etc comes into one single application called SAP Business One. Historically SAP Business One developmed by a software firm based in Israel and SAP AG acquired the company and renamed it like SAP Business One. My suggestion would be it is a good application suitable for small and medium type businesses where business processes are not complicated. However, if you want to make career in one specific domain listed below, you need to look into SAP's ERP modules:
1.Materials Management
2.Financials(Financial Accounting)
3.Controlling(Cost & Management Accounting)
4. BI(Business Intelligence is a reporting tool and data mining tool)
5. HR
6. Basis(Technical module where installation and authorisation including system security etc are taken care of)
7. Travel Management(Application for employee/non-employee expense claims)
8. ABAP(Advanced Business Appln.Programming owned by SAP AG)
9. Project Systems
10. Others that I donno at this stage but exists.
My suggestion would be to go for anything as per your interest and not purely financial. Of course you'll be rewarded good with any of the above modules but learn based on your interest.
Good luck!
Mohammed.

Synchronisation of contacts from Outlook to SAP Business One

Dear all,
i have installed the Outlook Integration Add-On and want to synchronize Contacts from SAP Business One to Outlook and this worked fine. Now I also wanted to synchronize contacts from Outlook to SAP Business One (changes and new Contacts) and I activated the check box for this in the settings. But after I run the synchronisation nothing happened, even the contact folder has been selected in the Contacts - MS Outlook Criteria settings. Do I have to do something else?

David,
The forum you have posted your question in is for questions related to the SAP Business One SDK. You may want to post your question in the SAP Business One Discussion Forum as your question is application related.

Integrating Java into SAP Business One Via DI Server and the B1WS

Hello Everyone
We are using the B1WS to call the Web Services from our web application. We are able to Generate the WSDL files using the Generator application and now wish to test the connection between our web server and the DI server However I am getting a 404 error from the web service endpoint in the WSDL files (/B1WS/Service.asmx)
I've created a login request from the WSDL which all seems sound, but it's still getting 404 errors when it tries to connect to the endpoint. I've passed the request through tcpmon so I can see the content of it, and the request looks good, but isn't getting any response. Is there any other SAP configuration that needs to be done to publish these services? I have read the Detailed B1WS Word Document and everything seems fine from that standpoint.
In hope, I've made the following configuration changes to the web services application, but am still getting a 404 error:
- Given the ASPNET user and the NETWORK SERIVCE group the required permissions for the SBODI_Server in DCOM configuration.
- Changed the virtual directory home of "B1WS" from
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Web Services\B1WS\App_Code to
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Web Services\B1WS
This directory has a web.config file, and has the bin files etc, but still seems to be missing a Service.asmx file (this missing , I don't know if that's all that's missing as I don't have any reference application to compare it to as I am using Java.
As usual your help is much appreciated.
Regards
Richard

Hello everyone,
I've had the same problem with the "missing" Service.asmx.
In my case, it helped to activate "Active Server Pages" and "ASP.NET" in the Web Services Configuration in the Internet Services Manager, which were both deactivated by default.
Maybe this can help you along.

Andreas

Useful life :                48 (month)
Remaining Life:        12 (month)
APC(Historical cost): 10000
Accumulated Ordinary Depr.: 7500
So Value Balance: 1500
and Life Balance :     12 month
I have tried to Import active ITEM by Excel ,follow this link : Importing Fixed Asset Master Data from Microsoft Excel - SAP Business One 9.0 - SAP Library

PO from JAVA to SAP

hi friends..
can you explain me fallows..
suppose i want to upload PO from JAVA to SAP means..we can do wit BAPI.
in what way we connect these JAVA and SAP ?
what is BAPI Active X control ?

hi,
You need to call the BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE / BAPI_PO_CREATE1 in SAP from your Java development via a RFC connection. You can read the FM Documentations which are available in detail.
Your Basis colleagues can help you with the creation of RFC settings.
Hope this helps.

Material transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP Business One is blocked

Hello experts,
Please I need your help for the following scenario:
Our client has B1iSN and SAP R/3 in the headquarter company and B1if and SAP B1 in the subsidiary. The material transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP Business One failed and the following message is diplayed:
Result message :
com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.bizprocessor.BizProcException: BPE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: DI Error: (-2028) No matching records found (ODBC -2028)
The Material database transfer is blocked due to message in status
failure which block all other messages.
We tried to restart the server (Business One and B1iSN) but it didnu2019t solve the issue.
Any idea please? Thank you.

Hi Nadia,
did you check the WRITE-POLICY settings of your scenario?
when reading the displayed DI Error message, it looks like B1iSN is trying to update an B1 item which does not exists.
Please open SAP B1iSN Tools -> Development Tools -> Graphical scenario Design and select your Bizpackage, BizStep and BIUMETA.
Open the WRITE-POLICY symbol and check the entries:
Insert on Exist = error or fallback2U
Update on Miss = fallback2I
The Update Policy should stay to value regular.
To activate changes of the WRITE-POLICY please deactivate, modify and reactivate your Business Process instance.
If a WRITE-POLICY change has no effect, please check your data mapping (BIU) and especially the parameter <QueryParams>, which mustn't be filled for "insert/Add" operations into B1.
Best regards
Bastian

Issue running a report from SAP Business One

I have an issue running a particular report from SAP Business One. I am using Crystal Reports Add-On, all of the reports are working fine except one. When accessing the last page of the report or any page from inside the report the followiong error appears in the dialog box:
Error in the File CollectionDate_Branch_wise {609BA059-89AF-41E9-9AEB-28CB16D13852}.rpt:
The request could not be submitted for background processing.
Edited by: Iqbal Faisal on Feb 22, 2010 6:03 AM

Hi,
Do you mean you have a Main report that is written based on SQL Command and there are 8 subreports linked to the main report?
If that is the case, I assume when user select 'Document Type" eg invoice, it will pass that to the subreport and retrieve information?
This is how I will approach it.
1. Make sure the connection is consistent, if you are using ODBC(RDO) then make sure that is the same for main and subreport. You can check that in Set database connection. Right click on the connection, look at the Properties. Don't assume that the name is the same, eg: SBO_DemoUS, they are all ODBC(RDO) for instannce.
In Crystal, when you are using different connection, it will just prompts you a warning message and it will still run.
2. Delete all and only keep one subreport, example AR invoice and see it will still give a problem.
Replace the parameter with a set value in Record selection in subreport and see what happen.

SAP Business One - Java Connector

Hi All,
 
We have a SAP Business One Application installed on a laptop. The requirement is to be able to use the SAP Java API to update tables in the system. We are not allowed to connect directly to the database and was advised to use the API instead.
 
The downloaded API that we are using is "sapjco30P_6-10005324 32 bit.zip". I have included the dll file contained in this package in the WINDOWS/system32 folder. I am using Eclipse as IDE and already included the "sapjco3.jar" in the classpath.
 
First question: Am I using the right Java Connector for SAP Business One?
 
I got sample code on how to connect using JCO:

Please help.
 
Thank you all.

Hi, 
Thank you very much for the reply. I am now able to move forward with what I am doing. 
I used the following code in connecting but am encountering an error: 
public class ConnectSAP {

 public ICompany company;
 private SBOErrorMessage errMsg = null;
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 ConnectSAP company = new ConnectSAP();
 company.conn();
 //method make connection andinitialize company instance

 company.setServer("192.168.0.216"); //192.168.0.216
 company.setCompanyDB("SBODemoUS");
 company.setUserName("manager");
 company.setPassword("manager");
 company.setDbServerType(SBOCOMConstants.BoDataServerTypes_dst_MSSQL2005);
 company.setUseTrusted(new Boolean(false));
 company.setLanguage(SBOCOMConstants.BoSuppLangs_ln_English);
 company.setDbUserName("username");
 company.setDbPassword("password");

 if (rc == 0) {
 System.out.println("Connected!");
 } else {
 errMsg = company.getLastError();
 System.out.println(

 + errMsg.getErrorMessage()
 + " "
 + errMsg.getErrorCode());
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 return -1;
 return rc;
 public void freeConnection(){
 company.disconnect();
} 
I am getting the error "Failed to Connect to SBOCommon -111". 
Error is still the same even if I set UseTrusted to true and comment the DbUserName and DbPassword. 
Do I need to specify the license? Or login to SAP before connecting? 
Thank you.

Remove or Hiding Marketing Documents from SAP Business One.

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way by which a marketing document in SAP Business One can be deleted or be hidden. For example in a Sales A/R module the the client does not want to use or also view the AR downpayment request or AR down payment invoice as it is not required for his business. What is the way to hide or remove it from the user point also during authorization.
I am also seeing that when in the user autorization I am giving full authorization for e.g in Purchase A/P Module - Purchase Order and Good Reciept PO only and when logging in by that assigned user I am only seeing the Purchase Order and Good Reciept PO that's absolutely fine but when I am going in Form Settings and and selecting visible for all the modules then all the marketing documents are coming back which should not come. Is there any way to block the form settings in this moment and when using the tab apply authorization in forms settings the defined authorized documents are comming but if one again clicks on form settings and make all the marketing document visible then again all the marketing documents are comming back which I don't want.
Please let me know your valuable comments in this regard.
Thanks and Regards

Kawish,
 To Hide the module from the User Main Menu

Login as that user and click Form settings and Uncheck Visible for the
Using Authorization > General > Document Settings (change this to No Authorization)
This would prevent the user access to Form Settings.
 To Disable access to a Module

Use Administration > System Initialization > Authorizations > Additional authorization creator. chose a name and in the Form ID area add the Form number. ( you can get the form number when you open the module and from the View menu enable system information, you can see the Forum number on the Task Bar)

Loading data from SAP Business One to BW

We need to load data from several SAP Business One databases to BW. I find some special objects for SAP Business One in the Business Content
And a short description in Help:
The source for the data upload is a file system. The relevant files can be generated using the views provided within the SAP Business One database.
May be someone has an experience in this area or could advise documentation about this
May be better to use DB-connect?
Thanks for your help

Hello Elena,
I am just curious if you've found answer to your question how to extract data fron BusinessOne into SAP/BI? What can we use? Only flat files or there are some standard extractors exists? Or have you used DB Connect for that?
Thank you,

Choose From List From a UDT in SAP Business One 2005 A

Hi All
How to develop a Choose From List from a User Defined Table (not from System Tables) in SAP Business One 2005 A.
I need the Choose From List should display the records stored in the UDT.
Any Idea ?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.
Asutosh.

Hi Asutosh,
You can add a CFL to a User Defined Object, not a simple User Defined Table.
In order to do it you only have to set the object type of the CFL to the code of your UDO.
Here you have a simple:
oCFLCPuo = SB1_App.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams)
oCFLCPuo.ObjectType = "MY_UDO_CODE"
oCFLCPuo.UniqueID = "UserObjectCFL"
oCFLuo = oForm.ChooseFromLists.Add(oCFLCPuo)
Hope it helps
Trinidad.
