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

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

Hi Gordon,
Yes I know you can select u2018OKu2019 and move on with the entering of a marketing document, however this is an extra click and when you are entering a large number of documents a day this can become painfully and that is the feedback from the customers, is there a reason why this could not be an option in the company settings? I know this will not happen overnight and this is why I posted the question of the development collaboration forum.

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

Business One add-on and Netweaver

Hi all,
I am developping an add-on for SAP business One and I would like to know if it is possible to use Web Services (via NetWeaver) to connect a Client to this add-on.Is there any documentation which deals with this topic?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
f b

Hi f b,
I am not sure what you try to do?
I understand that you develop an Add-On for SAP B1.
I understand that you want to use whatever Web Service in addition to that.
The second question has IMHO nothing to do with the fact that you use an Add-On - or I am missing something.
In case your question is related to integration between SAP B1 and SAP NetWeaver, I would suggest that you ask the question in the new forum about the new "SAP Business One Integration ...":
Busines One Integration Technology (B1i) forum!!!!
In case your question is to directly access some Web Service through SAP Netweaver you might consider to find the appropriate forum in that area.
Regards,
Frank

Business one - how is the prospects for a MBA fresher

I am very new to business one and I need some information regarding its training and prospects. One of my friend has graduated (MBA) and trying to get into SAP. Since he is fresher he is not able to undergo any major SAP module. The training center is recommending him to underto business one and jump to other modules after he gets his experience. In this circumstance (a fresher trying to learn SAP and become BSA) is Business one an apt module for him? Can he later jump to a major module? How easy difficult will it be for him?
Please give your valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hello Deepak - I can provide some input from some experience both as a user and as an implementation specialist.
Most folks think that the R3 world is the best place to start due to the larger number of opportunities and the ability to specialize very quickly in a very thin and focused module (for example, HR in R3). IF, and that is a big IF, a person wants to be locked into a very thin and specialized module, then going to the R3 world is great.
However, if a person likes to work with the entire range of business operations then All In One, Business by Design, and Business One are the avenues to go. Although there are differences between the R3 world and these other packages, the truth of the matter is that it is much easier to go from these other packages into R3, than vice-versa. Why? Because with the other packages, you are forced to understand what is going on throughout the entire system and the entire business process. I have seen over and over again where an experienced and seasoned R3 person has tried to work in one of the "all-encompassing" packages and drops from senior to junior in the process because they know one distinct area and now they need to know everything (which most do not).
A lot of people refer to SAP Business One as the "little brother" to R3 (and sometimes even insinuate that SAP B1 is not that tough), but you tell me - which is harder to know in an expert fashion - one single piece of the business or the entire process which a business goes through? I have been on both sides of the fence and, believe me, knowing what to do functionally and technically for the entire process is a much larger effort and requires a special kind of person.
You hear many horror stories about the R3 implementations which take years to do, millions of dollars, and an army of consultants. Why is that? Because each consultant knows his/her piece and mis-communication and finger pointing are farily easy to do. Not quite possible when you have only one or two consultants there to do the entire SAP B1 implementation; it goes quickly and the responsibility is squarely set upon the shoulders of those one or two consultants.
SAP is currently making a big push in SAP Business by Design (SAP ByD) in the upcoming months and have a variety of Webinars and are creating some good documentation since it is a newer SAP release. The SAP ByD field is wide open for anyone because there are few consultants who can claim experience (which makes it good and bad, depending upon how you see it).
So the bottom line question comes to this; does your friend want to be part of the army in R3 and learn a specific area of business or does the person like to work as the hedge-pin of success and responsibility in a broad and entire business process? Finding a great and all-around SAP B1er is like finding a jewel - I have had the pleasure of working with SAP B1 for the past six years and having someone on the team who is both knowledgable and able to get things done is a great asset...the SAP B1 implementation is both tough but very rewarding...
Good luck for your friend who is starting out...
Regards - Zal

    How can i slove this problem?Thanks for your help.

Hi David,
I also seek help for the dashboards, no doubt its matter of practise but like we are facing the problems where we have to map our query structure with Excel sheet.
like I'm facing a problem where my Query accepts two parameters in SAP B1.
In Xcelsius I mapped almost everything and these two parameters are accumulated by 2 combo's but when I make a XML data connection and use trigger cell option , it just takes one combo into consideration.
Expected result is : If I change the value in any of the combo then it shud reflect results accrodingly
Actual result : if I change the value of 2nd combo it doesn't reflect the changes until I select the value from first combo again.
Any inputs will be really very much appreciated.

Importing the (active) Fix Asset with ◦Accumulated ordinary depreciation to Sap Business One 9

Hi all,
I'm trying to upload the Active Fix Asset to the SBO (no new).
for example:
item:                          FixAsset
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
every time recieve the message :
Cannot import asset "fixasset"; a new asset's useful life and remaining life must be the same in depreciation area "AFA"

Hi,
Please check SAP note:
2001876 - The system does not consider the Salvage Value nor the
Remaining Book Value when you import assets

Addon not loading - B1 Usability Package for all users in SAP Business One

Hello, I am a new admin to SAP B1 and am about to go live in a few weeks. We are running SAP Business One v. 8.80.227.
Envirorment details: Dedicated server for SAP database, and Terminal Server for remote connections.
I have a demo group of users in Active Directory that have permission to Remote Desktop to the TS and load SAP. For now, theses users are local admins on the TS. ( Permissions to be revised once addon issues are worked out ). I am the companies tech, and we have a SAP implementation company leading the project development.
Currently the addons that we are running are CRSB1Addon SAP 8.8 and B1UP from boyumit.
For one of the users in the Active Directory Security Group all the addon's work great. However the other users get the error below;
When logging in the system message window shows the following:

hello Ken - Boyum IT has its own License Administration - path of Administration > Add Ons > B1 Usability Package > License Administration...
Do all of the users have a checkmark to give them access???
When a user has only the Main Menu window open, select the "Form Settings" icon and follow the same path on the Form Settings window that is diplayed and make sure they have checkmarks next to the B1 Usability Package to be "Visible".
Are all of the user set to display Boyum IT on their machines???
LOL - I am not technical so I have no idea what that other stuff means...
Hope that helps...
