SBO 2004 & SBO 2005

Hi Guys,
How can I run both SBO 2004 & 2005 on my development machine. I have to do this to maintain different clients on different versions. Add-Ons can be upgraded from 2004 to 2005 but then they won't work on 2004 anymore and for the interrim I need to be able to work on 2004 & 2005 simultaniously.

Hi Barend, i think you should think of using Virtual PC or VMWare.
FYI: Virtual PC and SBO

How can I get license info using SBO 2004

Hi, everyone
I know there is a License API available in SBO 2005, but I'd like to detect the user license number etc. in SBO 2004, who has experience about get license info in SBO 2004, please share your method.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Alexey,
Thanks for your reply; actually I want to get the user buy SAP License Number, in other word I want to get the maximum count of user using SAP in the same time.
I can see the license directory, do you know which file and entry point that I can get the license number.
and also if my add-on does not run in the machine that license server running, I think may be there is none license directory in the machine which does not install server tools, if this is true, do I need use other way to get the SAP license info?
Thanks again Alexey!

If Choose from list function included after SBO 2004 patch 31?

Hi, there
I know Choose from list function valid in SBO 2005, but I don't know if it is included in SBO 2004, especially after SBO 2004 patch 31?
Thanks.

Hi Indika,
You are right - the Choose from list is only available from SBO 2005.

Rightclick and context menu functionality in SBO 2004

hi guys...
how to capture the right click event and the context menu event. I have seen the right click example in the SBO 2005 examples but how to get that functionality in SBO 2004, there r no SAPbouiCOM.ContextMenuInfo and SBO_Application.RightClickEvent
thanx in advance..
regards,
Vasu..

Hi,
I don't think you can achieve this in the 2004 version as it was an entirely new feature in the 2005A SDK.

SBO 2004 and ActiveX

I heard, that SBO 2004 now supports ActiveX at the UI API. Where can I find an ActiveX sample ? We want to use ActiveX forms, instead of only a control, by this way we will want to be able to use .Net components directly via a WinForm as ActiveX form in a SBO UI form.
I have also read about .Net connectors. Are they available in SBO 2004 ?

Here is a link in the forums "SAP Business ONE" where they talk about this:

Perhaps posting your message there will give you a better response.

Version incompatibility issue with Interop.SAPbobsCOM.dll in SBO 2004

Hi,
I have encountered an incompatibility issue in DI API 2004 across different patch level-versions. Originally, I developed an application in SBO 2004 pl4 environment. Now, some of the customers who were installing the application, notified me that the application has a login problem. It turned out that the CompanyClass.connect() method returns an error message "object reference not set to an instance of an object", when the DI API version installed in the production environment is higher (in this case, pl7) than the DI API version which was used in the development environment.
I figured out that the problem can be fixed by replacing the Interop.SAPbobsCOM.dll file in the application directory by a newer version that reflects the DI API that is installed in the system. However, it seems a rather lousy workaround, if the customer needs to manually replace the dll. Maybe the installer could be customized to "sniff" the correct DI API level, but this too would be a pretty kludgy solution.
Does anyone know a better solution to this problem ?
Regards,
Henry

normally this is not a problem as long as they don't change the signatures on the DI-API (which they said they wouldn't) but it appears in P5 they changed that signature... we noticed some enums that got added and a few minor changes.

SBO 2004

Hi all:
I have just recieved the version SBO 2004, and in reference of the UI, I want to know when they will be available the tree control and Hierarchical's tables, because I need this structure to make a project.
Thanksssssss

Heard too, that B1 2004 supports ActiveX using B1 UI forms. How to use ActiveX component on a form ? Is it possible to host an ActiveX form on a B1 UI form ?
The idea is, the component palatte from B1 is not that rich and the UI components (for example Matrix) are not that smart. We want to make an ActiveX form and place the whole ActiveX form on the UI form of B1. By this way, we still using B1 forms with their layout and keeping the MDI child order, instead of using a normal WinForm, which will be hidden from the B1 client, when activating it and loosing the Z-order of the MDI.

SBO 2004 Installation

Hello All,
Can I install SBO 2004 and 6.5 in one system?
John

yes, if you go to the service marketplace and search SAP Notes for #765303 or you can search under the Application Area SBO-BC.

I have problem to register add-ons to SBO 2004

-. I am using sample HELLO WORLD providing for SDK 2004.
-. I build the installer using packager default of Visual Basic 6.0.
-. i builf file .ard
-. when i register the add-on and restart SBO 2004, the system show the message error:
"Command Line arguments..."
Someone, have a procedure step by step to register add-ons to SBO?
thanks

You need to declare this functions from the SBOAddonReg.dll.
I got this code from SAP, hope this works, it's VB .NET
Also: To use the license key I go to Project/Project properties/Configuration properties/Command line arguments
and I copy the license to this field, and it works.
Did you try from command line something like this?
c:\project.exe license_key

JCO SBO 2004 for linux

Hi, I am developing a solucion using jco for sap sbo 2004 pl 30. And it works fine on my computer windows xp, but when i copied my application and the jco's jar files to my production server (linux) and It returns the following error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no sbojni in java.library.path at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:788)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:834)
at com.sap.smb.sbo.wrapper.util.WrapperUtil.loadSBOJNILibrary
at com.sap.smb.sbo.wrapper.com.Dispatch.<clinit>
at com.sap.smb.sbo.api.SBOCOMUtil.newCompany
I guess that this error is becouse there is no "sbojni.dll" file for linux, there must be a different version of jco for linux...
Do you have any Idea about running jco application on linux?
many thanks,
Sergio Arrivillaga.

Hi Sergio,
It is not possible to run the jco on linux, only on windows, because it has as com-interface to SBO.
If you want your application to run ion linux you should connect to sbo using the DI-server.

Connecting 2004 thru 2005.

Hi All,
        Im not able to connect the 2004 Application using the 2005 SDK Using DIAPI.My code is
comp.Server = "server name";
comp.DbUserName ="sa";
comp.DbPassword =     "sa";
comp.UserName = "manager";
comp.Password =     " manager";
int ConRet =     comp.Connect();
     Here i have used the Dbusername and password since 2005 uses the same.My requirement is to connect both 2004 and 2005A using the 2005 SDK.
What i have to do to reach this requirement.
When i connect to 2005 its working fine.But when i connect 2004 using this 2005 im getting error as "Connection to sbo common has failed".
One more question is ther any possibility to find whether the user has installed 2004 or 2005 using the SDK.please any one of u help to solve this problem.Im struggling with this.
regards,
Ranjani Sampath

Regarding your second question:
Recently I surfed in the registry and wrote a function
that gets information about the default DIAPI installed.
I haven't deployed this widely so I can't be 100% sure
it will work in all situations.
Therefore, I would be happy to receive everyone's
comments on this.

          Dim rk As RegistryKey
          rk = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("SAPbobsCOM.CompanyCurVer", True)
          strCurrentVersion = CType(rk.GetValue(""), String)
          rk = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(strCurrentVersion & "CLSID", True)

AddOnRegDataGen.exe of version 2004 and 2005

Dear Experts/Gurus,
Are there any differences between AddOnRegDataGen.exe of version 2004 and 2005 especially for add-on developed
by partner or customer ? if yes, what should I do to my add-on ? I just did the following steps:
1. Recompile the add-on after put identifier string generated using add-on identifier generator in SBO 2005A
2. Creating registration file using AddOnRegDataGen.exe of version 2005 after created installer
3. Regiter the add-on using add-on administration
Did I miss something beside the above steps ? because the add-on can not run in the SBO 2005. The add-on is developed using SDK SBO 2004A. I appreciate your answers. TIA
Rgds,

Hi Steve,
Some new fields were added between versions 2004 and 2005. But if you open the AddOnRegDataGen.exe window you will be able to see if something is not filled in your addon.
Where are you having problems? While installing or when trying to run your addon? What is the error message?
The steps you did are right:
1. Recompile addon with 2005 references
2. Create installer.exe
3. Create .ard
4. Register addon in B1
AddOnInstallAPI.dll has also changed between 2004 and 2005 versions. It should work without any changes but you better change your installer to avoid problems in following versions.
Are you using B1DE to generate your installer? You can download B1DE tools from B1 main page, SDK tools page.
Hope it helps
Trinidad.

Connecting ATV to older 2004 or 2005 Panasonic model TH-42PX20 plasma TV

I have a 2004 or 2005 Panasonic model TH-42PX20 plasma TV that I am trying to use with Apple TV ( 2nd generation). The TV has the HDMI port but cant access the HDMI input mode. The sequence of modes accessible from the TV/VIDEO button should be TV-Component 1- Component 2 - HDMI - Video 1 - Video 2 - Video 3, but I only get TV and Component 1. Any idea how I can access the HDMI input mode to access ATV screen?

Check your TV settings, sometimes there is a feature to bypass certain inputs.
