New release SDK2004 SAP Bussiness One 2004, Csharp support

Hello,
We currently working with the SDK 2004 and wondering when we can expect a new release of the SAP Business ONE 2004 SDK?
We are programming in csharp(c#) and we noticed that there is not a fully support for this programming language.
Will this support be better in the next release of the SDK?
Thanks!

Rene,
There is not a "new release" of the Business One SDK 2004A that is specific to C# or any other programming language. The SDK is geared to work with any programming language that can interact with COM objects such as VB, VB.Net, C, C++, C#, Java,etc. We do have the 2005A SDK that is currently in ramp-up and will be new, but again this is not specific to any programming language which is a benefit of the Business One SDK. We have many developers that are using the Business One SDK around the globe that program in C# and are using the 2004A SDK. In the Business One 2005A SDK there will be Visual Studio Wizards that will help with the creation of VB.Net and Visual C# UI modifications. Is the issue that we do not have C# code examples or is there another issue? If you have a question with respect to the SDK and C#, this is the forum to post a question and have a community of Business One developers help.

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.
Thank you

2. SAP Business One mobile app for iOS - Compatibility Concept
SAP regularly ships minor releases or patches for the app containing new functions as well as improvements and bug fixes. To benefit from this, the latest version of the app and the backend software must be run.
As updates on mobile devices are not typically managed by a central IT department, it is the responsibility of end users to update the app to the latest version.
Because the mobile app is both backward and forward compatible, it is always safe to upgrade the app on the mobile device; the backend server can remain on the current release of SAP Business One.
However, if the backend is installed on an older version of SAP Business One that does not support the latest functions of the most recent mobile app, some new functions will not work. When the user accesses such a function a pop-up window appears, informing the user that the backend must be upgraded to enable the selected function. All mobile app functions that were supported by the older version of SAP Business One still work. In the reverse case, if the backend is installed on a later version of SAP Business One than the mobile app, the functionality of the mobile app is fully maintained and works as designed.

3. Troubleshooting Tool
The troubleshooting tool checks a) whether the user is authenticated b) whether the mobile settings are correct. Refer to SAP Note 1840117 for details and instructions.
For B1iF 1.17.5 (SAP Business One 8.82 PL12 and 9.0 PL04) and above versions, this tool is built-in to the Integration Component (Tools -> Trouble Shooting -> Select [B1 Mobile] in Functional Group -> Click Submit)
For versions below B1iF 1.17.5, the tool can be installed manually, refer to SAP Note 1840154
Starting from B1iF version 1.20 on (SAP Business One 8.82 PL17 and 9.0 PL12), this tool can also be used with SAP HANA database

4. Error: “Permission Denied”
This error type shows that the server is accessed properly and returns an answer to the mobile. The error message on mobile contains relevant information which helps troubleshooting, such as: company DB, user ID, phone number, and Device ID. The most common root causes are:
Root Cause 1: SAP Business One user settings(Administration->Setup->User) is incorrect
Solution 1:
The user is not configured as a mobile user. Make sure the mobile check box is selected.
The phone number entered in the mobile device settings (Settings->Business One) does not match the definition in SAP Business One. In case of iPad use a dummy number like 1234 for validation.
Make sure the license server works properly. Ensure the correct license is assigned to the user. B1i technical user shall have B1i license and all the mobile users shall also have B1i license together with one of the following licenses: Professional, Limited Financial, Limited Logistics, Limited CRM, Starter Package, CRM Sales User (legacy) and CRM Service user (legacy).
o The device identifier / Mobile Device ID is incorrect:
For app versions 1.10.0 and higher: See 7. Device ID in version 1.10.0 and higher
For lower than iOS 7 and app versions 1.6.0 to 1.9.x:
SAP Business One mobile app for iOS uses the MAC Address of the respective mobile device for the Mobile Device ID field in SAP Business One user settings (see section ‘Activating Mobile App Users’ in the Full Guide / Documentation). Ensure that the MAC address of device (find MAC address in Settings->General->About->Wi-Fi Address) is correctly entered in user master data.
For iOS 7 and higher and app versions 1.6.0 to 1.9.x:
In iOS 7, the MAC Address is not available anymore as in lower iOS versions. The system always returns the value 02:00:00:00:00:00 for the MAC address of a device.
If using SAP Business One mobile app for iOS up to version 1.9.x, and upgrade to iOS 7, the mobile user fails to logon. The “Permission Denied” error on the screen shows value 02:00:00:00:00:00.
To make SAP Business One mobile app for iOS up to version 1.9.x work on iOS 7 devices, you need to set the Mobile Device ID field in SAP Business One user settings to value 02:00:00:00:00:00; this is specifically for all users accessing using iOS 7 devices.
Root Cause 2: The company is not listed in the SLD (Integration Explorer -> SLD) or there are old or inconsistent entries in SBO-COMMON->SLSP or SLSPP tables
Solution 2: The steps to recreate the entries.
Make sure all SAP Business One clients are closed.
Log in Integration Explorer -> Scenarios -> Setup -> Select B1system and make it active.
Stop B1i services (DI Proxy, EventSender and Integration)
Use below query to delete all entries of SLSP and SLSPP tables in SBO-COMMON database.
delete from SLSP
delete from SLSPP
Restart B1i services (DI Proxy, EventSender and Integration)
Now open SAP Business One client, click choose company, then click Refresh button.
If it doesn't resolve the issue, follow the solution provided in note 2032666.
Root Cause 3: [hostname] is used in some configuration settings, and [ip-address] is used in others.
Solution 3: Ensure you use exclusively either the [hostname] or the [ip-address] in all the following configuration settings:
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > [company database] > B1DI > b1Server
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > [company database] > JDBC > url
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > WSforMobile > WSAR > associatedSrvIP
EventSender Setup > Step 1 > DB Server Name
License Manager > Configure Security > DB Server
Root Cause 4: The mobile device is on iOS 7.0.1 or higher and the mobile app version lower than 1.9.5. In the login window, the field 'Password' and the option 'Choose Company' are missing.
Solution 4: Update to SAP Business One mobile app 1.9.5. for iOS.
Root Cause 5: DI proxy service is not started with administrator user
Solution 5: Open Services panel → right click [SAP Business One DI Proxy Service] → Properties → Log On tab → choose "This account" → type windows logon administrator user → click [OK] → Restart the service.
If none of the listed root causes can be identified, go to Integration Framework -> Monitoring -> Process Control ->Framework Processes-> B1AuthCheck ->IPO log, and check its relevant IPO logs and ExecDetails. For example, whether the correct DB is called, or reasons for failed authentication check.
Top
5. Error: "Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)", or “Processing Failed - Internal server error; contact your system administrator”
For troubleshooting, please first:
Verify the connection between the mobile device and the B1i server, see SAP Note 1776825 for instructions.
Check if these test connections can be executed successfully:
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > [company database] > B1DI
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > [company database] > JDBC
In case of errors, please refer to SAP Note 2029714.
Check if B1i tasks/messages are blocked in the queue via Monitoring -> Queue Monitor. If so, check whether any IPO steps are deactivated. (Control Center -> Monitoring -> IPO-Step Status -> Select “Deactivated Steps only “ -> Press submit -> If there are any IPO steps listed. Press (Re)activate button to process the queue.
Other common root causes are:
Root Cause 1: Inconsistent SSL configuration.
Solution 1:B1i uses port 8443 as the default for SSL connections of the mobile solution. The ‘Web Service’ in the mobile app setting needs to be <server_ip_address>:8443 and have SSL ‘ON’, as the default.
Root Cause 2: Some or all mobile scenarios are not activated correctly.
Solution 2:Open Integration Framework -> Scenarios -> Setup -> Scenario steps -> Check all steps are enabled (Eg:It should be “94 of 94”, which means there are totally 94 steps and all of them are activated. If it looks like something like “76 of 94”, it means there are inactive steps.)
Choose the “Deactivate” button to deactivate the mobile package. After this, the button changes to “Activate”.
Choose the “Steps” button, a web page would pop up.
Choose the “all Activate” and then click the save button. After that, close this popup.
After a few seconds, all scenario Steps should become something like “94 of 94”.
Choose the “Activate” button to activate the mobile package. It should pop up a confirmation dialog box, choose the "OK" button.
Root Cause 3: [hostname] is used in some configuration settings, and [ip-address] is used in others.
Solution 3: Ensure you use exclusively either the [hostname] or the [ip-address] in all the following configuration settings:
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > [company database] > B1DI > b1Server
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > [company database] > JDBC > url
Integration Framework > SLD > B1i Server > WSforMobile > WSAR > associatedSrvIP
EventSender Setup > Step 1 > DB Server Name
License Manager > Configure Security > DB Server
Root Cause 4: The password has unsupported characters such as “&”, “<” and “>”
Solution 4: Avoid using such characters for mobile users.
Root Cause 5: The default port 1433 is not used by the selected database instance.
Solution 5: The TCP IP port of the SQL database instance should be changed to 1433
Root Cause 6: sap.B1Mobile package is not correctly deployed
Solution 6: Ensure sap.B1Mobile package activation status is all green (Integration Framework > Scenarios > Control > Click [Status] button for sap.B1Mobile record)
Make sure the SLD entry '001sap0003' is not selected in the senderlist of any package except Mobile package (Integration Framework > Scenarios > Setup > Click [Sender] > Choose [Sender List])
Reactivate sap.B1Mobile package
Top
6. Runtime issues
Cannot view the BP or Item Master Data list in the Mobile app.
Root Cause 1: The SQL language setting for the sa user was set to another language than English.
Solution 1: Set the SQL user (normally the sa user) language to English.
Root cause 2: The DateFormat parameter in the SQL Server is set to another value than ymd.
Solution 2: Run the query 'Set DateFormat ymd'
"Not Data" is displayed when trying to view Dashboards on the mobile device.
Root Cause 1: The PackagType column in table OWPK has an incorrect value for mobile dashboards.
Solution 1: Run the following query in company database to update the values:
UPDATE OWPK SET PackagType='M' WHERE PackagCode LIKE 'SAP_MOBILE_DASHBOARD_00%'
Top
7. Device ID in version 1.10.0 and higher (error: “Permission Denied”)
Since SAP Business One mobile app 1.10.0 for iOS a new device identifier has been introduced. When using the app for the first time, a system message appears:
Apple MAC address is no longer supported for device ID authorization checking since iOS 7. To enable access, update the device ID with <your device ID>
From within this message, mobile users have the option to email the device ID in the email body to their IT partners or administrators in order to change that data in the user master data. For more information see Retrieving the Mobile Device ID in the Full Guide / Documentation: SAP Business One for iOS.
If the device ID of the mobile user is not correct, the error: “Permission Denied” is being displayed and logon to the mobile app is not possible.

Reg:can we connect directly SAP Bussiness Intelligence - SAP Bussiness One

Hi Team ,
can we connect directly from SAP B1 to SAP BI,without using any third party interface . what are the connection that Bi can do directly .
Thanks & Regards,
MD.Kaleem

Hi,
1. Not possible to upgrade directly. Refer SAP note 1993301 - Overview Note for SAP Business One 9.0 PL11 for required versions and PL.
2. If you are using a version prior to SAP Business One 9.0, you can upgrade it to SAP Business One 9.0 PL11 directly
My thought is 9.0 PL00 to PL10.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan

Hi Cristian,
As peter mentioned, Please refer to SDK Online Help=>Content=>Degeloper Guide=>DI Server
In addition, you can the sample code of DI Server here:
<<...
SAPSAP Business One SDKSamplesDI Server>>
As regard to php sample, sorry we don't such sample so far.
Per php, I recommend you to B1WS, a web service wrapper of DI Server for only those 45 services objects. You can download B1WS here: SDK Tools Download:
SAP Business One Tools [original link is broken]
=>SAP Business One Web Services Wrapper Tool
From technical perspective, DI Server is based DCOM technology, I am not sure it is natively supported php. So you may think about wrapping DI server as web server with ASP.net, just like B1WS. php<=>web server<=>DI server

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:
 
package sample; 
import java.io.File; 
import java.io.FileOutputStream; 
import java.util.Properties; 
import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;

 }

 } 
 } 
 }

 System.out.println();

Each time I run the application I run into an error:

Second question: What seems to be the problem with my sample application? Do I need to use a different Java Connector for SAP Business One or SAP Business One does not support Java Connector?
 
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 {
 // company interface
 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
 public int conn() {
 int rc = 0;
 try {
 company = SBOCOMUtil.newCompany();
 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");
 //company.setAddonIdentifier("...");
 //company.setLicenseServer("...");
 rc = company.connect();
 if (rc == 0) {
 System.out.println("Connected!");
 } else {
 errMsg = company.getLastError();
 System.out.println(
 "I cannot connect to database server: "
 + 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.

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
Jan Ruzarovsky
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

SAP Business One SDK DI API

Hi,
well, i am pretty new in this SAP Business one thing, my company (Laboratorios Chontalpa in Mexico) recently has purchase the SAP Bussines One, and i need to interface my LIS (Laboratory Information System), right now i use xml to pass the information between my LIS and SAP, but i was reading a little bit about SDK DI API, and i would now if i can use this API to comunicate mi LIS directly to the DB of SAP, and eliminate the XML thing.
In my laboratory we have 60 remote office where there use my LIS, and i would like to comunicate that remote offices with my LIS using the DI API to comunicate with SAP, but i dont now if i need one licence pro of SAP per office to do that???
anyone can help me with this question
thanxs
regards

One user license is necessary for one named user. With one licence cannot work 60 users, you need 60 licenses. Thats in case that the offices will work with B1 application.
When you will have some own application using DI Api, which will comunicate with LIS and is it no necessary to run SBO there, one license (user) for all offices is enough.
hope it helps
Petr

Bussiness One Help

Hi
Can any one please provide me the SAP Bussiness One Help file
So that i can go through it

Hello,
You can find the Help file under the path where B1 server installs, for example,
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\B1_SHR\Help\
More convenient, open B1 client, go to "Help" --> "Help Settings...", choose your favourite language, and choose "Local Installation", then click "Download" button. B1 client will add Help file to its self, and when you want to know someting, for example, you want to know the details description for AR Invoice, you can firstly open AR Invoice window, then press "F1", the Help file about AR Invoice will pup up automatically.
Hope the information can be useful for you.
Best Regards,
Tim

Running SAP Business One on a 64-bit server

One of our clients wants to upgrade their server to a 64-bit server running Windows Server 2008.
What are the implications of this and do we also need to then use Microsoft SQL Server 2008?
I went to this web link: https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/smb/sbo/platforms and found some info, but the questions I still have is the following:
1. If we upgrade to SQL 2008, do we have to buy licenses or can we also just get an installation from SAP with our software (if we've gone live over 2 years ago already on SQL 2000, then upgraded to SQL 2005).
2. Can we still stay on SQL 2005 or is it better to use SQL 2008 and what is the implications?
I found the following on the link posted above:
Mar 11: SAP Business One 2007 now supports Microsoft® SQL Server 2008.
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is now fully supported by SAP Business One 2007 A (as of patch 47) and SAP Business One 2007 B (as of patch 10), including SAP-developed add-ons.
Jan 21: SAP Business One 2007 now supports Microsoft® Windows Server 2008.
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is now fully supported by SAP Business One 2007 A (as of patch 46) and SAP Business One 2007 B (as of patch 09), including SAP-developed add-ons. 64-bit and WTS support are still pending and will be announced when available.
What exactly does the bold part mean?
Any tips/hints on making this decision will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Adele

Hi Adele,
"64-bit and WTS support are still pending and will be announced when available" means that Windows 2008 64bit has not been tested working with SAP Business One yet. Thus not supported (yet).
Same applies to W indows T erminal S erver 32bit and 64bit.

I am not sure if procedure as described in note [928839|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZ3PTU4ODAwMDAr)/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=928839] will apply. In order to get excact clarification I have asked the owner of the note to update it reagarding MSSQL 2008 licenses.

Yes, you can still stay on MSSQL 2005 and upgrade later to MSSQL 2008. The other way around will not work. MSSQL 2008 is currently supported only as of SAP Business One 2007 A PL47 or SAP Business One 2007 B PL10.
