SAP Business One 8.8 - Installation

Hi experts
I upgraded my SAP B1 from 2007 PL17 to 8.8 PL10.... It worked for demo database.... Den I tried working on with my current development database... but i get an error like this " you can't upgrade company database from SAP B1 client, use the upgrade download package or contact your partner ".... Plz suggest a solution for this problem asap.....
Regards
Poongundran.

Hi Poongundran,
the upgrade process has changed between 2007 & 8.8. Up to version 8.8 you could upgrade a db through the client application, from 8.8 onwards, you use the upgrade wizard which is part of the installation or patch package.
Please have a look at this [demo|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001164922009E/index.htm] for an introduction to the wizard.
All the best,
Kerstin

Hi,
I am having hard time installatin the SDK (B1DESetup_2.1)..
I always get the same error:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error... The error core id 2869.
I am running it on a Windows 7 laptop and I tried to run it as admin and also using the compatibility mode
I do not have SAP B1 installed locally (I do not have any copy of it)
IAt the end, what I want to achieve id to develop an interface module to exchange data between my application and SAP B1 using SAP DI APIs
Tnks for any help
Edited by: erilive on Jun 30, 2010 4:34 PM

Thanks for answering...
The quick story is that we are developping an interface for a customer who have SAP B1 installed...
We do not have SAP B1 installed locally.
We need to develop using this DI API and we will test with the customer SAP B1server.
So at the end, the quiestion is is it possible for me to develop using the interop.SAPBobsCOM.dll API only... I will connect to my customer SAP B1 using VPN...?
Thanks.

(local) only on Current Server when installed SAP Business One to a Standard User account

Hi. We have a client. Setup of Windows account was like this.
1. Built-in Administrator account is disabled.
2. Primary mandatory user account was made with Administrator rights (e.g. User).
3. Updated Windows 7 Pro 32-bit SP1 and installed all applications except for SAP Business One
4. Created new windows user account with Administrator rights (e.g. Admin)
5. Changed the primary account (e.g. User) from Administrator to a Standard User type
6. During SAP Business One client app installation, image below always notify even UAC was turned-off and installation proceeds without any error.
7. After installation, image below was the result.
8. Made some testing by enabling the built-in Administrator account and re-installed SAP Business One client app and result was the client app works ok with this account.
9. Created new user account with Standard User type and run the SAP client app and result was also ok with this account.
10. Run SAP Business One client app on primary made account (e.g. User-Standard User type) and the the made Administrator account (e.g. Admin) but same (local) only result occurred.
Any ideas Thanks in advance!

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

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.

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

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

Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
Thanks.

Hi Alejandro,
That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
Thanks

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

SAP Business One 8.8. Report doesn't show and workstation doesn't respond.

Hi all,
We have a customer with:
SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.237) PL: 19 HOTFIX1.
Sql Server 2005
Crystal Reports 12.1.3.1028
We have done some reports wich run under server machine but not under workstation.
Even i've done a dummy report without any data connection and it doesn't run under workstation (server machine works perfectly). This dummy report only show a label with static text "Hola".
We don't receive any error message, SAP Business One client doesn't respond and in task manager you can see "not responding" message.
SAP support connected to our customer installation and they suggested us formatting workstations computers. We did it but the problem persists. Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Nauzet Díaz

Hi,
In this case, why you not responded to SAP for their suggestion of formatting the workstation?
If you unfortunately closed the old support ticket, then just raise a new support ticket with reference of the old one too.

Bala

Upgrade to SAP Business One 8.8 - Legal List Format

Hi All,
I am currently experimenting with the upgrade process from 2007A PL46 to SAP Business One 8.8 PL5.
On some company databases that I try I get the error Legal List Format - Failed during the database upgrade process. Does anyone know what this refers to and how it can be fixed?
Many thanks,
Damian

No it's a very clean installation in the sense that it is a database that has only run against the core SAP Business one. the only add on that would have been used during the original set-up would have been copy-express and DTW.
The company data i am using is a copy of our own corporate data, nothing fancy as we are an SAP partnership so no real inventory even.
