SAP Business One and Moving Database Issue

We are in the process of moving our PROD system to a new server. The server runs MS SQL 2005. We installed SAP Business One and by default the demo databases went to the C Drive (C:/Program Files/MS SQL Server/..../Data). The SQL Server that exists has data on D partition and logs on E partition. We therefore dettach the database, copy the files to the correct locations, and reattach.
Now, however, the SAP Business One application no longer finds the Company or Demo databases. Is there any way to fix this?
Cheers John

you should post your question in the Business One section at SAP Business One Application

SAP Business One 8.8 Database

I am using SAP Business One 8.8.
In the middle of working in SBO 8.8, it suddenly shut down. When I tried to log in again, the list of companies dissapeared. Seems like there's no database connection. The server and database (Ms SQL server) seem to be up and running. We turn off and on Ms SQL server and it seemed to work now.
According to our source, it indicated this has something to do with the policy in Ms SQL Server. Apparently, we took some companies within the database online and offline. This somehow trigger to lock the 'sa' access and disconnect the database. How do I prevent this from happening again? If this has to post in a different forum, i.e. Ms SQL Server, i will post there accordingly. Thanks.

Hi Gordon,
I checked the log files and it seems like user 'sa' was trying to access the database numerous times. This somehow trigger the Ms SQL Server policy and completely locked out ALL companies in the database. No one is using sa in the company.
The only thing I can think of is when I test crystal report, it prompted 'sa' by default at the database login screen. I normally select 'integrated security' to bypass that screen. However, I was doing that for the past few months and never had problems until yesterday. The 'blank' screen of company list has happened twice.
In SQL Server, I checked off 'enforce password security' for user sa. Will that be enough to fix the problem?

Error Connecting SAP Business One and Crystal Report

Hi All,
I installed Crystal Report 2008 on my system for creating a report in Crystals.
I clicked on "New Report" and it opened a window called "Database Exert." However, when I look in the Database Expert, I cannot see "SAP Business One" in it. How can I connect SAP Business One 8.8 with Crystal Report?
Regards,
Bharath S

Hi
On your computer, locate the Crystal folder according to the following directory path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Crystal. Then double-click the file: SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.exe. and follow the step of the setup status screen.

SAP Business One 8.8 License Issue

Hi Everybody,
I have upgraded the SBO 2007B to SBO8.8. its upgraded successfully with PL11. I have the license file of SBO8.8. when I import the license file in the system, its showing the Total Number of Professional User License 2 and Available zero. I checked the license in other companies. The license is not assigned in any companies.
Please give the suggestion, how to solve my problem.
Regards
Netra Pal

Hi,
Stop license manager and import the license file again.
If it is still unavailable, do the above steps but prior to stop license, delete the b1upf file in license sub folder under sap b1 server tool sub folder. This sap b1 server tools is in c:\Program Files\sap.

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

Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2? We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine. All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005). The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
What we are finding is:
1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed. So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions. While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart. There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window. Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services. My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.
Regards,
Ross Unger

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

Get SAP Business One connection

Hi all.
I'm creating a report using Crystal Reports Basic 2008 for SAP Business One and I have a question.
Our client has three databases under one server, so, I'm creating three reports and i'm conecting them under a UDL file.
My question is if it's possible to get the actual SAP Business One connection when the report is call? Because this way, I can only make a report instead of three.
I hope I was able to express myself best. I'm thank you and i'm waiting. Thanks.
The system have:
Windows Server 2008 SP2
SQL Server 2008
SAP Business One 8.8 PL 11
Crystal Reports Basic 2008 for SAP Business One 12.1.0.892

Hi,
I don't think that is possible since the sequence to run CR is after connecting to a specific database.
Thanks,
Gordon

Push data from sap business one to ECC with XI

Hi,gurus:
Have you ever configured the scenario?We wanna push data from sap business one to ECC with XI,and vice versa.
We know that b1i have this funtion,but in our scenario,we need to create some addon table both in b1 and ecc,so does it mean that I can't use b1i in my special scenario?
We wanna utilize XI to solve our issue,then the scenario may be abapproxy to soap,or soap to abapproxy.But the problem is, how to program in the b1 side both in sender and receiver.Do you have any information about that?

Xinjiang,
The method to connect SAP Business One and ECC 6 using XI would be B1iSN2007. You could of course develop something your self using ABAP, IDoc and the Business One SDK, but B1i does this today and has 6 built in Business Scenarios. You can of course customize the existing scenarios and/or create your own much easier and faster than creating the whole thing from scratch.
If you are specifically interested in not using B1i ... you would want to post your question in the XI forum here on SDN.
Hope that helps,
Eddy

Cannot open UDO in SAP Business One

Hi experts,
We have successfully created a UDO in SAP Business One and we have inserted it in Main Menu under the Sales Module.
When we click the UDO it does not open. We have already checked the authorization and user licenses (professional) and everything seems
fine.
Can you please advice on how to proceed?
Has anyone faced this issue before?
We are using SAP Business One 9.0 PL:05
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Vassilis Korolis

Hi Vassilis,
Please check that if you have allotted SAP ADDOns License to this User.
If you want that User can access UDO's then you have to allot SAP ADDOns License in License Administration window.
Hope this help

SAP Business One Development Environment Install

Hi there,
I'm new to SAP Business One and this forum. I'm trying to install the SAP Business One Development Environment on a Windows Server 2003 with VS 2008 and am receiving an error code of 2869. I've entered a 3 character namespace as suggested in another post, but this does not fix the problem. I have other versions (2003/2005) of Visual Studio installed on the same server. Would this cause a problem? Any other ideas?
My goal is to talk to an SAP Business One Server from an external .Net application. Am I using the right tool?
Thanks for your guidance in advance,
Heather

Hi,
See this link

Do we need a SAP Business One & Business Objects Forum?

Hi all,
We have made the Crystal Reports Add-on for SAP Business One available in the [Knowledge Center|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessone?rid=/webcontent/uuid/807d22cb-cb1d-2b10-8794-fb76d7feca88]
For all discussions arround SAP Business One and the new Add-On Crystal Reports we have at the moment one [Thread|SAP Business One and Crystal Reports; with very high contribution.
So we would like to ask you, if a new Forum is needed and if yes where to put it (beneath the SAP Business One Forums or the Business Objects Forums)?
Thanks for your feedback,
Richard and Darius

Richard/Darius,
Having experience both SAP Business One and Business Objects, I would suggest that all reporting aspects of Crystal Reports should stay in Business Objects Forum.
I would still agree to create a sub-forum for Crystal Reports in SAP Business One, as long as the topics are more of the integration of Crystal Reports with SAP B1.

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
