SAP/SRM One client approach

Hi all,
Not sure where to put this question.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on finding information on the benefits / risks/issues on a one client approached for SRM?
Or list them here?
Thanks for any info!

Hi!
Thank you very much for your response!!
My actual situation:
I have a EHP4 for SAP ERP which has only ABAP stack.
Questions
1) Should/must I install a Java-Add In Instance?
a) Is it possible to install a Java Add In Instance for EHP4 ERP system or do I need only a extra/new Windows server for this?
b) what are the must usage scenarios I have to choose for the Java installation (Portal, MDM, PI)?
2) what is the exact installation sequence (SRM One Client, SRM MDM, NW Portal)?
Thank you very much!

SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP: Own client needed for SRM?

Hello experts,
i've a question concerning the SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP4 as Add-On.
Is it possible to use SRM and ERP funtionality in a single client e.g. 001?
Or do we have to use different clients on the system like for SUS?
I haven't found any information regarding this topic in SAP ressources. I'm currently using CG "SAP SRM on One Client in
SAP ERP" Release date 2008 (found on marketplace/srm-inst --> srm7.0); SRM - Technical Basis Configuration (BuildingBlock S00/S03). I'm facing problems while going through the following customizing steps:
Assign logical System to Client [both logicall systems are on the same client (001)] ==> error while trying to reference the second logical sys. because client (001) cannot be used again (own presumption: error message differs)
I've seen that some of you have successfully installed and customized this szenario. If someone could provide me any helpful information or guideline how to proceed in general... would be great...
Best regards,
PATRICK

Thanks for your reply. I've checked the offline documentation because i've no access to solman.
There is a document which describes the steps for configuring one-client customizing on marketplace.
Link: [SAP SRM 7.0: SAP SRM on One Client with SAP ERP|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001201562009E]
The problem is that its impossible to cofigure the system like it's described in the document.
Let me explain why...
SRM Addon is installed and customizing is done in client 001 (same client as erp)
overview about defined logical systems:
-ONECLNTERP (for ERP is defined)
-ONECLNTEBP (for SRM is defined)
When I try to assign the logical system to client 001 it works for the first entry
for the second log. system it shows up an error message.
-->I assume because client 001 has been already assigned. I cant use client 001 again.
But One-Client szenario schould be possible in a single client or is SAPs One-Client more like One-System with differnet clients for SRM and ERP on the same machine?
Because of the above mentioned problem I assume that it's impossible to run ERP and SRM in the same Client number.
Am I right? Do I have to use two Clients on One System for proper Customizing?
Or if it's possible to use a single client on one machine for both ERP and SRM how is it possible to assign two log. systems to one client number?
I'm totally confused. Any help would be appreciated - any tips/hints/experiences from someone who has customized One-Client?
BR, Patrick

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

Hi
I have just upgraded to SAP B1 8.8 PL16

Please wait while windows configures SAP Business One Client
Can anyone suggest anything please ?

Hi,
You may check this: SAP 8.8 PL13 - Client keeps getting Configuring Client dialog box.
Have you searched the forum or web? There are quite a few discussions regarding the possibility for this.

MM SUS on SRM one client

Dear Experts,
Need your help.
We are planning to implement MM SUS on SRM one client.
I have some questions/ doubts before starting the implementation could you please help me to answer them
Do we need PI to have a connection between SRM and MM
because its SRM one client SRM is add-on to ECC I mean on the same server?
b. Do we need to have separate client to implement SUS and
SRM as we generally do in case of separate SRM system ?
Thanks & Regards
Ankit Jain

Hi Ankit,
a, If you are going to use MM-SUS scenario, then XI is a must. Because you will need XI for message exchange for Supplier Self registration,PO Response, ASN, GR , Invoice creation
b, Yes, it is recommeded to implent SUS in a separate client than SRM.

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.

SRM one client Contract Management

Dear Experts,
Can we create contracts in SRM one client and distribute them to our ECC system.
Because I seached on service marketplace and no where its mentioned that Contract mangement is possible in SRM one client.
Sourcing is possible that I have checked the functionality. Please reply
Thanks
Ankit Jain

Hi Ivy,
Yes Correct nothing mentioned in the configuration guide or any other document.
But I checked System nodes no where I found that contract management is possible in SRM one client.
Also Note 963000 doesn't say anything about it.
Below link also says its not possible so I am confused even Roles doesn't have Contract Menu
SRM 7.0 one client setup in comparison to SRM 7... | SCN

Thanks

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

Upgrade Error Failed to upgrade SAP Business One Client

Hi All,
I have upgraded one of our customers from SAP 9.0 to 9.1 PL5.
Everything upgraded successfully through the wizard. When launching the client, the 32 bit client upgraded with no errors. When attempting to open the 64 bit client I get the error above. I have also uninstalled the 64 bit client and re installed from the B1-Shr folder with the same result.
This is a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. Log files are not showing any errors.
Has anyone never ran into this?
Sincerely,
Chris Sorensen

Chris
I just had this happen with PL06.
It gave me this message for both 32 bit and 64 bit client
When I checked - even though it said it had not upgraded the 32 bit client it already had.
With the 64 bit client I had to 100% reboot and go directly to the client upgrade and then it worked.
You might try that. Seems like something was interfering with it.

SAP Business One Client Stuck While upgrading

Hi Experts,
I have successfully run the upgrade 8.8 patch leve 8 on the server(windows 2003). The server also had the client installed.
As usually we opened up the client for autoupgrade, it seems like it was taking too much time to upgrade and it looked like the client upgrade got stuck.
So we ended the task(The client icon on the desktop disappeared the next moment. ) and tried to upgrade the client using the B1share folder.
We get the messages like Error 1605: This action is valid only for currently installed products . when i say okay
Error:Number:0*80040702
Description: Failed to load Dll; Creator dll
Next i have also tried to uninstall from add\remove programs, then it says
error 1628: failed to complete installation.
Please let me know how to solve this problem.
Regards,
Chidamber.

SRM on One client with ERP

Hi,
My Client is currently using SAP ECC MM for Procure to Payment process. We are currently evaluating option for implementing SRM 7.0 for web base procurement solution. As per the information available in www.service.sap.com, there is a software called u2018SAP SRM on one client with SAP ERPu2019 available at this moment. I have following doubts regarding SRM on one client system:
1. As I mention, currently we are using SAP ECC. Does the u2018SRM one client softwareu2019 component will install on the top of our
    existing ECC system in the same server if we will implement SRM one client system ?
2. Normal SRM 7.0 connect to ECC through RFC connection. As SRM and ECC are on the same client. Does it mean we don't
    required RFC connection for SRM one client system?
3. In one client SRM system, SRM can be install on the top of existing ECC system. Does it mean, additional hardware
    components like server, network etc are not are not required for SRM one client system ? We can use the existing ECC server
    and network for SRM.
Thanks in advance.
Regds,
Jennifer

Hi Jeniifer,
I tried providing information to your queries below in bold. Hope it is of any help to you.
1. As I mention, currently we are using SAP ECC. Does the u2018SRM one client softwareu2019 component will install on the top of our
existing ECC system in the same server if we will implement SRM one client system ? - *Yes. SRM will get installed in the same server.*
2. Normal SRM 7.0 connect to ECC through RFC connection. As SRM and ECC are on the same client. Does it mean we don't
required RFC connection for SRM one client system? - RFC connection will still be required but since it's same client, the connectivity and data transfer will be very fast and quick.
3. In one client SRM system, SRM can be install on the top of existing ECC system. Does it mean, additional hardware
components like server, network etc are not are not required for SRM one client system ? We can use the existing ECC server
and network for SRM. - Yes you can use existing ECC server.
This SRM one client software will be very useful in case of a small industry or business, which does not have huge data or processing. But in case your organisation is bigger, then this will not be very useful.
To find out possibility of usage of SRM one client software, I would suggest you to get in touch with SAP sales team and they will arrange for a meet to discuss it further.
Cheers,
Ravi

Cannot reinstall SAP Business One 32 Bit Client program

Hi Everyone,
I started with a computer which had SAP Business One Clients (32 & 64 Bit versions) installed, along with the DTW (Data Transfer Workbench). I have since uninstalled both Business One clients, and am now wanting to reinstall the 32 Bit Client (only).
When I double click on the Setup.exe file I am presented with the message below -
I don't understand why I am presented with this message given that I have uninstalled the software.
In addition to uninstalling the software through the Windows (7) Control Panel, I have also manually deleted all files and folders related to Business One (using a Windows Search), with the exception of those files related to the DTW, and finally deleted all TEMP files.
If I click on Cancel the setup stops, but if I click on OK I see the following -
When I click on OK, above, I see the following -
What can I do now to fully remove all traces of the previous Client installations so that I can reinstall the 32 Bit Client?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Hi Everyone,
Firstly I now have an 'S-User ID', so I have access to SAP Resources.
Secondly, thank you Sridharan for posting the information to this thread, it is a great help (particularly given that I wasn't sure how long it would take my provider to organise an S-User ID).
Thirdly; these are the actions I have taken - none have helped!
Attempted installation in the 'hidden' Windows Administrator account
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/
THE FOLLOWING COME FROM THE OFFICIAL SAP 'FIX' (as shown above in Sridharan's post)
1). Tried both points, a), and b), in the InstallShield link -
http://consumerdocs.installshield.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q108474&sliceId=1
However I could not proceed with point 3), because by my reckoning the SAP Business One Client that I am using relies upon Installshield 17 (and there is no link available for this version!).
If I am incorrect about the above can somebody please let me know which version of Installshield was used, and I will then return to point c) of the Installshield 'Q108474' link.
2). Microsoft C++ 2005 is not installed on the computer.
3). Registry entries did not exist, and I am going to assume where removed when I performed a registry clean with Registry Mechanic (before posting this thread).
I have downloaded a trial version of Installshield Enterprise, and I am hopeful that it will contain a version 17 driver file, in which case I will return to 'Q108474'.
In the meantime however if anybody has any further suggestions can you please post?
I really don't want to reinstall Windows just because one program will not load.
Kind Regards,
David
