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

How to script to Print a document from SAP Business One SDK

I have created a project using UDO, Form and User table using B1DE2005.
I wonder how can i program to print a document from my screen. something like Sales Order, where user can click on Print Preview button and it will print the sales order confirmation preview..
KC

Where do you want to execute this print/print preview? Inside Sales Order?
If that is the case use the print event, now if you have your own form and is separate of any of the SAP B1 system forms, then you will have to use the menu event and evaluate when they have press the print button (which you also probably will have to make sure that is active).

Crystal Reports background processing for SAP Business One 8.8

Dear Partners,
I have an SDK program developed in SAP Business One SDK that works in 2007, it calls crystal reports externally and can be executed as a background task using the windows schedular or from the command prompt.
My problem is it does not work under SAP Business One SDK 2008 PL18 with SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008.
I receive the following message after this line in my code,"oReport.PrintToPrinter(CopyNo, False, 0, 0)".
'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed.
Error in File XX_Report_Ver_0.01 {1A6620A2-5D73-49D2-9347-32ED068AA64E}.rpt:

My Question is what Crystal Reports libraries or other method should I be using ?
Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One eg. 51038978.zip - downloaded from portal obviously dosn't contain the CrystalDecisions libraries.
Crystall Reports 2008 - cr2008_sp3_fullbuild, cr2008fp33.exe, cr2008fp33_mm, cr2008fp33_clickonce - also download from the portal, the cr2008_sp3_fullbuild does contain the crystal decisions libraries.
Finally other choices are crystal reports included with the visual studio 2008 and crystal reports full version direct from Business Objects.
I have tried different versions of crystal decision libraries- eg, 12.0110 or 12.02 but still no joy.
Also if I manage to get the report to fire what should the client be running eg, if they have the Crystal Reports 2008 for Business One do they also need to install the Crystal Reports Run time - cr2008fp33_clickonce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John
Since the SDK works in 2007 it will be using the OLD DB access method.
Change the Crystal report to use an OLE DB datasource rather than the SAP Business One data source.

How to create Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007

Hi,
When I create my Add-On into SBO I have some issues.
Which program do I use to create an Add-On into SBO?
Is there a URL or Path where I find the program?
I am using a 2003 program which is built by my colleague.
I assume SAP provide the Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007
Thank you,
Rune

Rune,
At a high level ...
1) VS2005
2) Compile your program
3) Generate and Add-on Identifier
4) Create a registration datafile
5) Create the setup program consisting of your .EXE and the .ARD file
6) Add-On is created and running in SBO
Again ... the details on deploying and packaging your add-on can be found in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation and the SDK eLearning.
Also, you can use B1DE using the Simple Installer or Professional Installer will do most of the work for you after you have coded the add-on.

Synchronisation of contacts from Outlook to SAP Business One

Dear all,
i have installed the Outlook Integration Add-On and want to synchronize Contacts from SAP Business One to Outlook and this worked fine. Now I also wanted to synchronize contacts from Outlook to SAP Business One (changes and new Contacts) and I activated the check box for this in the settings. But after I run the synchronisation nothing happened, even the contact folder has been selected in the Contacts - MS Outlook Criteria settings. Do I have to do something else?

XL Reporter error Unable to Connect to SAP Business One DI API

Hi Experts,
Im getting this error on one of our clients' workstations.
They have SAPB1 2005A PL 31.
We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the DIAPI and the whole client application as well. Same error.
It als gives an error after the initial error that says:
"Security Settings in Microsoft Excel prohibit XL Reporter from running."
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

hi jairus,
To fix this XLR error 'unable to connect to SAP Business One DI API', do the following:
1. Go to control panel and uninstall SAP DI API
2. Run %temp%
3. Rename the folder SM_OBS_DLL
4. Go to the patch level package of the patch level you are using and install DI API. If you get a message that the installation already exists, ignore the message and proceed to install DI API.
XLR should work properly.
Best Regards,
David
