SBO 2005A + MSSQL 2005 B2

Hi,
Has anyone tried using new MS SQL 2005 server as database server for SBO 2005A ??
Installing SBO server and creating the common database went OK, but when trying to create a new company SBO reports an SQL ODBC error = Invalid keyword near 'Revert'

Soren,
As far as I know there's no final version of MS SQL 2005 in the market till now. As soon as it's out, we will officially publish (rather in a note or in the setup guide, or in both) that we are supporting it.
Best regards,
Felipe

Can SBO-COMMON database be re-attached after Reinstalling MSSQL 2005

Hi All,
I encountered collation issue. The MSSQL Server Collation is incorrectly indicated when upgrade from 2005B to 8.8 was performed. (the correct one should be SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS instead of Latin1_General_CI_AS. But my various company databases are correctly stated as SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS (as required by SAP B1).
Now, I am considering creating a new SQL Instance with the correct collation, then use the SBO Upgrade Server to create the SBO-COMMON and re-direct the License Server to the new instance. But all my AddOns requires for re-installation.
My next alternative is to uninstall MSSQL 2005 and re-install with the correct collation. But I am wondering if the backup SBO-COMMON can be used. Also, will the installed AddOns prompts for re-installation?
I have checked against SAP Note 987436. is this the only lifeline?
These solutions will required certain amount of downtime from the customer. Is there a cleaner way out of this?
Please help.

Jessie Ng

Hi,
Some of our B1 customers have encountered the wrong collation settings. Here are the problems they've got :
1. When trying to use any functionality of Drag & Relate, the following error message will be displayed: 'No matching record found'.
2. When runing "Sales\Purchase analysis report" for Business Partner, the report might not retrieve any results eventhough it should.
Here is the solution from SAP note:
Collation Settings of MSSQL Server 2005 or 2008
Symptom
When defining the wrong collation during manual installation of MSSQL Server 2005 or MSSQL 2008, in certain situations it might cause functional problems. Examples:
1. When trying to use any functionality of Drag & Relate, the following error message will be displayed: 'No matching record found'.
2. When runing "Sales\Purchase analysis report" for Business Partner, the report might not retrieve any results eventhough it should.
Other terms

Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting Note
Solution
The latest version of any documentation can be found at http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/documentation.
Please make sure to choose collation setting of: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
when installing MSSQL 2005 / 2008 Server.
In order to check what the collation is set to in your server, please run the following query:
Collation of your Server:
select SERVERPROPERTY ('collation')
(This query gets the collation settings of MSSQL Server's System Database "Master")
Expected answer : SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
In case you have already installed the MSSQL 2005 or 2008 Server with any collation other than SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, please follow the steps below:
Change your server collation to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
You can find Microsoft's instructions for changing an SQL server collation here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179254.aspx
Please note that collation settings of Database "Master" needs to be changed only. All SAP Business One Databases must not be changed! These must remain on SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS.
If you need any clarifications with this process please refer to an Expert Empowerment Session "SQL 2005 Server Collation settings" at https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000050892007E/ or http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/support -> Archive: Empowerment Sessions.
If you have any Servicepack for MSSQL Server installed, but the Servicepack is not included into your DVD MSSQL Server, do as follows:
1. Deinstall Servcicepack
2. Change Collation Settings as per Expert Empowerment Session
3. Install Servicepack again

Add-On in SBO 2005A can work in SBO 2005B?

Hi all,
I developed an add-on solution using UIAPI & DIAPI 2005 which tested in SBO 2005A. Is it possible to work in 2005B as well.
Thanks in advanced.
Platform: Windows XP, SBO 2005A, VB.Net 2005

Hi,
from my experience i can say it works. anyway, i recommend you to recompile it on a development environment with 2005B - to be on the safe side.
there's another point you should be aware of:
in 2005 B you have some fields in system forms - for example in documents - which you don't have in 2005 A.

David

Can SBO 2005A SP 01 use Japanese Language?

One of our client is asking if SBO 2005A SP 01 use Japanese Language? I have read on the documentation that SBO 2005A was release on a specified country which does not include Japan.
Thanks.

It seems for me from development roadmap about this quote:
Development Roadmap 2006-2007 pdf file:
A Cluster
Delivered countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Cyprus (based on UK version; available as of Release 2005 A SP1) Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Irish Republic, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA.
Starting with SAP Business One 2007 A, all countries belonging to the C cluster (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Slovakia) will be integrated into the A cluster.
In the future ( I think it will be a planning):
All countries belonging to B Cluster
China, Hong Kong (based on Chinese Version), Japan, Singapore, South Korea, India, Brazil will be integrated to A cluster.

Upgrading SBO 2005A SP 01 PL 29 to SBO 2007A PL 00

Dear All,
I've heard that SBO 2005A SP 01 PL 29 could be upgraded to latest PL of SBO 2007A after upgraded into PL 00 of SBO 2007A. This info is hopefully useful.
Rgds,

Hi Jimmy and William,
I think there's a slight, but important misunderstanding - and I suspect that William may not have revisited this discussion:
Error importing oBusinessPartners with DTW 2005.0.16
...but that's no severe enough to get so upset, Jimmy, or?
Just to recap that:
SAP Business One 2005A SP01 PL22 is the last patch that you can apply before upgrading to SAP Business One 2007A if you want to participate in Ramp-Up for B1 2007!
...and currently you can only use B1 2007 - and get support from SAP when your customer IS accepted for the Ramp-Up!
Only after SAP Business One 2007A will go into "general availablility" this would change!
The upgrade paths for B1 2007 are as you described:
- Upgrade from any patch of an older release to a newer version using the specific Upgrade package is possible - and supported.
The "Upgrader" package is actually a patch that has been validated / released to be used for any upgrades from older versions.
- Direct Upgrades to later patches of the newer version (skipping the Upgrader) may technically work at first glance, but you can't be sure that no issues may occurr later - and in the end cost more time than you gained by overstepping one step in the upgrade process - and it may get you in "trouble" with SAP Support.
I am sorry, but I didn't phrase that correctly when I entered that comment!
But again, unless you are getting this customer into Ramp-Up for 2007 it is irrelevant for you anyway what patch from 2005A SP01 you are using now...
BTW: I have checked the statement on SAP Service Marketplace - and maybe this can be clarified even better too.
Thanks for raising this question!
Regards,
Frank

Dunning wizard after upgrading SBO 2005A from PL12 to PL50

After upgrading from SBO 2005A PL12 to PL50, when I run the Dunning Wizard I don't see the Open Invoices for the customers. Is there a Setting that I have to setup or which can cause this problem.

Hi André,
Did you checked the parameters during the wizard already? For example are all levels included? Did you checked the dunning terms and conditions as well? Are you sure there are invoices that should be displayed?
Kind regards,

Getting error while installing MSSQL 2005 SP2 Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1

Hi,
We are getting error while we are installing MSSQL 2005 SP2.
It gives me the following error
No Qualifying Product
===================
This machine does not have a product that matches this installation package.
I am pretty new to MSQL. Any help to solve this is much more appreciated.

Hello,
It seems you downloaded Service Pack 2 for SQL Server 2005 alone, that download does not install a SQL Server 2005 instance.
You might have to download and install SQL Server 2005 and then proceed to apply service packs related to that version of SQL Server.
Hope this helps.

Oracle 9i & 10g replicated to MSSQL 2005 Enterprise: Problem !

Hi,
I have been doing some oracle 9i and 10g Replication to MSSQL 2005 Enterprise Database using the SQL 2005 Server Enterprise replication tool. This is working great, however, we recentrly had some problems on the Oracle side getting errors on new connection for both 9i and 10g servers. Only restarting the server has solved the problem so far....
The complete procedure to to this setup is available on Microsoft Technet:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/technologies/repl_quickstart_for_oracle.mspx
If anyone could help me regarding the problem on new connections problem I would appreciate

Terminology differences between MSSQL 2005/2008 and Oracle 11g

I'm looking for some articles/books/webinars/blogs which discuss the terminology differences between MSSQL 2005/2008 and Oracle 11g in terms of database concepts. I have found this article http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SQL+Server/67007 so far.
Thanks.

Thanks sb92075. Those returned results are almost all related to compare the features/functionalities between MSSQL and Oracle not to distinguish the terminology differences between them.

BI JDBC Connection For MSSQL 2005

Hi All,
I am trying to establish an BI JDBC Connection with MSSQL 2005 Server. I follow the steps exactly mentioned in the guide but i was not successfull. I doubt the problem could be with the adapters and again downloaded a JAR file for MSSQL 2005 from microsoft website and proceeded with steps. But no luck this time also.
How do i make a successfull connection. Below is the result of a test page

MSDTC cluster on MSSQL 2005

I've searched the SAP Notes with out results, so am asking if anyone knows....
When installing MSSQL 2005 on a cluster we've been informed by the SQL DBA that the MSDTC must be clustered. But he needs to know if we can add the MSDTC to the SAP Cluster group.
I've suggested that there should be no problems, but would like confirmation.

Thanks Jared
I do have one more question though.
First, we installing on 64 bit servers now (wahoo). But shouldn't the msdtc be installed on a drive that can be failed over?
The Server Management team is suggesting this and thus the question in regards to installing on the SAP cluster.

How to reset ddic password for client 000 in MSSQL 2005 database

SAP = ECC6
DB = MSSQL 2005
client = 000
1. SAP* account was removed from the DB, can't be found in USR02 table.
2. Only left ddic account and was locked. How can i reset ddic password?
3. How can i unlock and reset my own password from the MSSQL database?

You can unlock and reset passwords for DDIC and for your own user id in the following way:
Please execute the below queries at your database level:
To unlock user ids:
SQL>update SAP<SID>.usr02 set flag=0 where bname="*user id*" and mandt=client number;
SQL>commit;
To reset the passwords:
SQL>update SAP<SID>.usr02 set bcode="encrypted password" where bname="*user id*" and mandt=client number;
SQL>commit;
Then log into the system and execute /$sync
hope this will help you.

Connection via UD Connect in BI system to external MSSQL 2005

Hello experts,
I want to configure connection from BI (SAP_BW 7.01) system on SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 to MSSQL 2005 and AIX via UD Connect. I want to setup connection according to guide "How to u2026Configure UDConnect on the J2EE Server for JDBC Access to External Databases (SAP NW 04 - SAP BW 3.5)". I have problem with create RFC destination under "JCo RFC Provider" in Visual Administrator. I don't known where I can add new RFC destination as is write in this guide.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards
Capek Martin

> I have problem with create RFC destination under "JCo RFC Provider" in Visual Administrator. I don't known where I can add new RFC destination as is write in this guide.
You're searching for the "new" button, right? I was searching that too.
Just select one RFC destination, change the name and press on "save" - this will add a new one. Not very intuitive but it works.
