SAP Business One version comparison

Hi, we're currently using 2005, and we're considering an upgrade to 8.8 later on. When researching the compatibility/benefit issues, I can't find anything that compares 8.8 to 2005 (all I can find are 8.8 to 2007). So I tried to find the comparison between 2005 and 2007 but can't find anything as well.
Can anybody help me on this? Please advise me on what's the difference between 2005 and 2007? (what's the compatibility issues, performance gain, new features, etc).
Thanks.

If you have addon's running on 2005 then for 2007 you will need to recompile them with the UI and DI API dll files from 2007 SDK. This would be your first step for the addon to even work in 2007.
I would recommend update your current company db by installing 2007 on a test environment and try the above steps for your addon.

Unable to open 2007B database in SAP Business One version 8.8

Hi Experts,
We are in the process of upgrading one of our client from SAP Business one 2007B PL13 to SAP Business One 8.8. While trying to open the client's live database in 8.8, system throws a message "You cannot upgrade company databases from SAP Business One client. Use the Upgrade CD or contact your IT administrator for the upgrade". Plz guide me on how can I open the DBs used in 2007B in 8.8??
Regards,
Madhavan

Hi
I thiink your database is not updated ..Install client in your server and try with opening up ..
It will probably ask you to back up the database and upgrade ...
If not ,uninstall everything thing ..instead of having new installation ,download the upgrade version and see if resolves your issue
Hope this helps

Upgrading sap business one version 800232 is not allowed

Hi All
I got this error when I tried to run an upgrade from SBO 2007A PL 42 to SBO 8.8 PL3.
Any suggestions.
Regards
Bongani

Dear Bongani,
i found something for this Error i hope it help:
Zusammenfassung
Symptom
In the connection setting step or database selection step, the following error dialog appears: "Upgrade SAP Business One from version xxx is not allowed. Contact your SAP business partner for support."
Other terms
Upgrade Wizard, Upgrade Path, Restriction
Reason and Prerequisites
Application error
Due to the nature of development cycles, it takes some time for SAP Business One 8.8 to merge bug fixes from latest released install base patches. As a result, some upgrade paths are restricted in order to avoid data loss/duplicate upgrade in certain cases. For example: a bug fix is applied on 2007 A SP01 PL07 and merged with 8.8 PL05. If the database in 2007 A SP01 PL07 is upgraded to 8.8 PL04, the fix will be lost. In addition, there is a risk of data loss if the fix involves some metadata change. So 2007 A SP01 PL07 can only be merged with version 8.8 PL05 and higher.
Solution
SAP intends to provide a patch or patches in order to solve the problem described.
The section Reference to Related Notes below will list the specific patches once they become available. The corresponding Info file of the patches in SAP Service Marketplace will also show the SAP Note number.
Please note that these references can only be set at patch release date.
SAP will deliver patches only for selected releases at its own discretion, based on the business impact and the complexity of the implementation.
In addition to the bug fixes listed in this SAP Note, this patch contains also the bug fixes from:
SAP Business One 2007 A SP01 PL06,
SAP Business One 2007 B SP00 PL14.
For more details, please see the SAP Notes under the "Related Notes" tab.
IMPORTANT: Please note that if you are on a higher patch than the 2007A/2007B patch levels listed above and upgrades to 8.8, this may result in unexpected issues and potential data loss as the upgrade path is not supported yet.
Best regards,
Indira

Crystal Server with SAP Business One Crystal

Hi,
We have installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 on a server which already had Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) (Fix pack 3, SAP Business One version) installed, as well as SAP Business One 8.8.
This is the first time we have dealt with the CR Server application.
The CCM & the CMC are running fine as are all the services.
When running CR 2008 and choosing Save As: Enterprise, the error message "No authentication plugins are installed" appears.
The Business View manager pops up a log on box and no authentication methods appear in the drop down box.
Is it possible the SAP install has corrupted the Crystal Server install, as the authentication plug in dll's do appear to be missing from the server.
The same issue arises when istalling the client tools on a client which has the same designer version installed, but not on a client which has on older version installed.

Resolved by uninstalling everything Crystal related, deleting the Business Objects folers, then reinstalling starting with Crystal Server.
The install of the B1 specific versions must not contain some necessary files, which are then not installed by the other products

SAP Business One iPhone App konfigurieren...

Hallo zusammen,
Seit heute gibt es ja eine SAP-eigene iPhone-App.
Link zum APPSTORE
Dort findet man auch einen Link zur Info-Seite von SAP auf der steht:
You need to be running SAP Business One version 8.8 with a professional user license. Before you start using the app, make sure your SAP partner configures the mobility settings in SAP Business One.
Mehr aber leider nicht.
Weiß irgendjemand, wie man die Einstellung im Business One vornimmt?
Bin für jede Information dankbar!
LG Basti

Hallo zusammen,
mir ist es soeben gelungen mit meinem iPhone eine Verbindung (zumindest im Wlan-Netz )herzustellen.
Hoffe das klappt bei euch genauso.
Ich habe folgendes gemacht:
1. Beim Benutzer den Haken bei "Mobile-Benutzer" gesetzt
2. Dann die Mobilfunknummer eingetragen
3. Dann die UUID vom iPhone eingetragen (die ewig lange Nummer)
4. Dann dem Benutzer eine B1i-Lizenz zugewiesen
5. Auf dem iPhone in den Einstellungen eingetragen:
Server: <IP-Adresse>:8080 (dort musss die B1i installiert sein und laufen)
SSL hab ich ausgemacht, da deswegen eine Fehlermeldung beim Verbinden kam
Benutzercode: Benutzer aus SAP wo ich meine Mobilnummern und UUID eingetragen habe
Mobiltelefon: meine Mobilnummer
Fertig.
Dauert beim Verbinden eventuell eine gewisse Zeit aber dann funktioniert es super.
Gruß

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

"No data" in SAP Business One

Hi,
We have encountered the following issue.
Using the SAP mobile application (version 1.1.3 (Android) - 1.9.6 iOS)), we connect successfully to database but when we try to open the Business Partners and Items, a "No Data" message appears.
If I insert a BP in mobile, the SAP Business One show these BP that I insert, but in the App I have the message "No data".
What could be causing that?
Thank you everyone

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:
Failed to assign SAP Business One user license to SAP Add-ons. The Add on is configured to automatically load on startup, yet once I get the error, I open the Add on Manager and I don't see the B1UP in either tab at all.

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...

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
