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

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

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.

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.

SAP Business One 8.8 - Customer Receivables Ageing Report

Hi All,
We have one client on ramp up for SAP Business One 8.8. They love the new version and the feedback has been exceptional. I have one issue with the customer receivables ageing report. Once the results are displayed we are applying a filter on the report which does not seem to meet our expectations (Possible Bug?) We are trying to filter a particular ageing column only to display values if they are greater than 0 for that column. The filter partailly works since it displays the values greater than 0 but it also displays values where the column value = "Blank" thus not achieving the desired result! Does anybody know how to do this and if not should I log this on the SAP Messages Dashboard?
I have also tried to use a condition where the column is not equal to blank but then again it displays customers who have a negative balance in that column! Once again not the desired result.
Any help / feedback will be much appreciated!
Thanks
Andre Pienaar

Hi,
Please check by selecting any amount appearing in the list in the column you are filtering in the "Greater than". After selcting the value update the same to be zero and then filter the results.
Check if it bring the desired results.
Also, if not, please update us with the patch you are checking in order to test.

"Enable Sap Business One Suggest" what is it?

Hello experts,
On General Settings> Display> there is an option at the bottom that says "Enable Sap Business One Suggest".
Do you know what is for? I can't find any documentation.
I have SAP B1 8.8 patch 19 hot fix
Many thanks

Hi Pam, you are right, there is no help for in Display File Tab help in 8.8 patch 18. This is actually a documenation defect of low priority.
Many in the forum overlook for possible defects though of low priority. Opening defects ensures they get considered for future releases and makes the product so much better.

SAP Business One v8.8 (PL12) - Upgrading

Hello Forum
this is my first post so apologies....
I am trying to establish a SAP B1 v8.8 test environment on a 'offline' server. I am encountering 2 issues when installing/upgrading...
Original environment:
         HP ProLiant Server
         5gb RAM
         Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Server
         (Service Packed and Updated from Windows Update)
Firstly,
    SAP Server Tools / Server / Client will all install using a base of PL05, I can then upgrade this to PL10 (both of which were supplied by our Partner) - I operated on this PL level for a week or so with no trouble what so ever. Later I recieved PL12 on a disc from our Partner and went through the upgrade process from PL10 to PL12.
   This failed showing 'Creatordll.DLL' error straight away when the process started to upgrade the SBO-COMMON database. I could see the Server Tools get upgraded first and then the SBO-Common database getting backed up and as soon as this has completed the error happens. The upgrade then rolls back (Restores) the SBO-Common and then stops advising also that the Server Tools will need a manual restoration.
   MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package was the only reference that I could find on SDN so I followed the instructions here.
Amended environment:
         HP ProLiant Server
         5gb RAM
         Windows 2008 Enterprise Server
         (Updated from Windows Update)
Secondly,
   When attempting to troubleshoot this problem, the directory "C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Server " has only the B1_SHR available in Windows Explorer. When I check this against our LIVE environment using SAP B1 2007a the same directory has "B1_SHR \ DI API \ SAP Business One DI API \ B1iServer \ B1iSetup" listed.
When in the PL05 or PL10 environments SAP operates perfectly fine despite the fact that there is no other directories showing here. The base install and upgrade to PL10 completed without error so I had no need to investigate the SAP Business One directory until PL12 failed.
I'm hoping that someone in the Forums can help me out with these issues.
Thanks

Hi Garry,
I would suggest you to download the latest installation package on 8.8 PL10 which is available on the Service Market Place. In order to solve the issue with 'Creatordll.DLL' please follow the steps from the Note [1408662|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1408662]. Issue could be caused due to missing Microsoft ATL security patch.
hope it helps,

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

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)

Does SAP business one require solution manager for license keys ?

Does SAP business one require solution manager for license keys or you can directly get the license key from service.sap.com?

Hi,
Welcome you post on the SAP business one forum.
In general, only SAP partner can get the license key. However, partner can assign the right to customer so that they can get it from portal directly.
Thanks,

SAP Business One on Ipad

Dear All,
I installed SAP Business One 8.81 PL04 (on Server) and SQL server 2005.
My questions are
1) i install B1 integration component, when i am opening the integration framework i am getting a windows security dialog box in which it is mentioned that "The server 127.0.0.0 at B1iP_dummy requires a user name and password.
Warning: The server is requesting that your user name and password be sent in the insecure mannar(basic authentication without a secure connection.
User Name :B1iadmin
Password:xxxxxx
Here my question is that if i provide username and password, Integration Solution for SAP Business One is opened but is not reflecting any data when i am clicking on SLD, Scnarios, Maintaining, Control Centre.......etc.
2) I want to connect to the server through the ipad.
I put the user as mobile user, i have given UDID number of Ipad, phone no of mobile user in SAP Business One.
I have given the server details like IP add: 000.000.000.000:8080 and kept SSL On and given DB Name as SBODemoIN and username as 'ABC'.
When i am entering the password it is reflecting me an error "an ssl error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. [-1200]'.
I want to know where i have done the mistake.
Note: i tried by giving ip with B1 port number like : 000.000.000.000:30000 again its reflecting same error.
Can any body help me out.

Lets try to keep it together ...
1.) in SAP Business One you have to set the following settings for the user you want to connect with
a.) checkbox "mobile user" is checked
b.) mobile-number (must be digit by digit the same as you set it in the settings of the App)
c.) UDID of the iPad/iPhone (this is a 40 (!!!) digit alphanumerical number of the device)
ATTENTION - since SBO App. v.1.6.0, the UDID is no longer in use, now yo have to set the W-LAN MAC Adress here
d.) the User has a limited or a professional user license
e.) the user has a B1i licence
2.) settings in the iPad/iPhone App
a.) Server: IP Adress of the Bi1 Integration Server followed by :8443 (e.g.: 91.55.110.15:8443)
8080 is the http port (unsecure), while 8443 is the https port (secure)
b.) SSL: is on
c.) Company DB: the database Name of the company you wanted to connect to (and where you have made the user setting above) (e.g.: SBODemoIN)
d.) Usercocode: the log in name of the user you made the above settings for (e.g.: manager)
e.) Phonenumber: digit by digit the same as above 1.).b.)
f.) Demosystem: needless to say, this is Off
3.) network settings
a.) certainly the port 8443 must be available from outside the network
b.) VPN connection to the network must be possible
c.) the VPN connection setting has to be set in the iPad(iPhone
If this all is set and done,
1.) you first have to establish a VPN connection with your iPad/iPhone
2.) and now/than you should be able to connect to the company with the iPad/iPhone App
Hope this helps and make it e little bit clearer how this all works.
The SBO App is "nothing else" as an WebService-Call-Interface from the iPad/iPhone to the B1i Server. Every form/view you are filling in the App, is a WebService call/request to SAP Business One. To Send this WebService Request to the B1i Server, you first have to connect into the company network (via VPN) otherwise you call cannot reach the B1i Server ...
regards from Hamburg,
Heiko
