The Top10 most frequently asked questions and answers (FAQ) January 2009

Dear SAP Business One Community members,
We will provide you on a regular base the top10 most frequently asked questions together with the related answers.
The Top10 from January:
1. How to install SAP Clients?
According to the symptom, this issue can be caused by the missing "SQL Native client" component.
In this situation, please refer to [SAP Note 1015229|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=703028],to resolve the issue.
2. How to put sales order number on A/R invoice?
1. Create a UDF in A/R Invoice at Row Level.
2. Apply Formatted Search on this UDF.
3. Use the Below Query:
Select T0.DocNum From ORDR T0,RDR1 T1,DLN1 T2
Where T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry And
T1.DocEntry = T2.BaseEntry
And T2.DocEntry = $\[$38.45.0\]
4.Now you can get this UDF in the print layout(template).
3. How to know variable in Print Layout?
Variable can be retrieved checking System Information in view, however it is not supported
Please refer to the attached [SAP Note 723783|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=703028] - the use of system variables isn't supported as their definitions might change after upgrade.
Variable fields are not supported due to the following reasons:
1. Variable numbers might change after upgrading to a higher version.
2. The user can use variable numbers which are not linked to the document or form related to the document editing.
The list of variables is only supported for 2007 A version.
We do not have such kind of variables list for 2005 B version.
You can find the documentation of variables on Service Market Place in the following:
Go to the [Documentation Ressource Center|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000707558&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000183&_ADDINC=011000358700001192682007E&_OBJECT=011000358700002906862005E] ->2007 A Version->How to guide->How to use PLD variables file in 2007 A Version.

4. How to clear the SBOMailer queue?
As a workaround, please use dummy or wrong SMTP server and send all those mails to that address.
After sending those mail to dummy SMTP, you can see the mail status changed to "E" (Error), then after setting up the correct smtp mailer
would not try to send the mails with status "E".
5. How to use dialer in BP?
1.How does this work?
If you have Microsoft#s automatic phone dialer installed, you can press CTRL+TAB to automatically dial the numbers in the telephone fields.
2. Are there settings I can change? In the System Initialization - General Settings - Services, to place calls directly through SAP Business One if a phone system or modem is installed on your computer or in your network, in these fields specify the area code and the number to dial for an outside line.
3. How can I troubleshoot when this doesn't work? Try to check if the number is correct, the best way to check it is to use the MS Phone Dialer and to enter this number exactly as it is written in B1. If the dialer succeed dialing this number so B1 should succeed too, if the dialer failed check what is the problem with the number or with the Microsoft Phone Dialer.
6. Iu2019m unable to set exchange rate in credit note
To set an exchange rate in a Credit Note is only possible to if the credit note is not based on another document. In this case the exchange rate of the base document will be considered. Please see also SAP Notes [686224|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=686224] und [703028|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=703028]

The same applies for other customizations like PLD, XLReporter, etc.

The Java Tutorials : Lesson Generics Question and Answers

Hello,
I've just finished reading the Generics Lesson from the Java Tutorials,
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/generics/index.html
and was hoping to see the answers in the Question and Answer section at the end of the tutorial, but the link doesn't seem to be working.
Could someone please grade my answers?
The question is (copied from the Java Tutorials):
1. Consider the following classes:
    public class AnimalHouse<E> {
        private E animal;
        public void setAnimal(E x) {
            animal = x;
        public E getAnimal() {
            return animal;
    public class Animal{
    public class Cat extends Animal {
    public class Dog extends Animal {
    }For the following code snippets, identify whether the code:
* fails to compile,
* compiles with a warning,
* generates an error at runtime, or
* none of the above (compiles and runs without problem.)
a. AnimalHouse<Animal> house = new AnimalHouse<Cat>();
b. AnimalHouse<Dog> house = new AnimalHouse<Animal>();
c. AnimalHouse<?> house = new AnimalHouse<Cat>();
house.setAnimal(new Cat());
d. AnimalHouse house = new AnimalHouse();
house.setAnimal(new Dog());
My answers are:
a. fails to compile
b. fails to compile
c. compiles and runs without problem
d. compiles with a warning
I realize that I could re-read the tutorial, but aside from learning about Generics, I'm also trying to gauge how well I absorb new information, the first time I read it, so I would appreciate if someone could tell me if my answers are correct. Explanations for incorrect answers would also be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
as far as I understand it, and am able to explain, creating
new AnimalHouse<Cat>();has the knowledge (at compiletime) about the generic type Cat.
But as soon as this is assigned to
AnimalHouse<?> house = new AnimalHouse<Cat>();the variable house, this knowledge is lost for the variable house. So you have house which does not know the underlying generic type used. Then, there are either two options:
- allow adding anything via the set...-method
- do not allow adding/setting anything at all
In the first case, you would create the problem of being able to potentially add instances of types that do not have any relation to the originally used type Cat - which will cause problems (imagine setting a Car instance instead of a Cat instance and lateron expecting to retrieve something that should be a Cat but is a Car...).
So, the only safe option is the second one.
Weird to explain, but maybe there are better explanations around...
Bye.

Need help with Click Frequently Asked Questions in iProcurement

Hi Guys,
In iProcurement purchasing homepage, we have 1. Click Frequently Asked Questions and 2. Review Purchasing policies on the right side as links.
When we click Frequently Asked Questions, its taking me to a page where standard FAQ is there. Now my requirement is, If "Frequently Asked Questions" link is clicked, then a page should open and in that i should put two links , one link will open the standard FAQ and the other link will open the Companys FAQ.
Can we achieve this thru AK Developer. When that link is clicked, what is happening in the background. Actually I checked in Applications-->Messages, by typing "ICX_POR_PRMPT_HOME_FAQ". In the message, I got this "Check <a href=javascript:FAQ()>Frequently Asked Questions</a>". This is what getting displayed on the homepage as a link. All this information, i got it from PORHOME.xml page in which a function calling that FAQ() is also written which is calling another function called "callHelp('faq')".
But I couldnt see the callHelp() where it is called. Is there any other way to implement this. Help Appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
If I could understand your requirement correctly then here is what you can do.
1. Create a complete new HTML page with the two new links and place in HTML directory.
2. Enable personalizations
3. Using personalization change the "Destination URI" to the newly created page.
Hope this helps.

Can Siri bring back more previouly asked questions and the answers?

Can SIRI recall previously asked questions and the answers provided? Or can you only see and read the last request to SIRI?

No. If you swiped down from the initial Siri input screen, and only saw the one conversation, then that is all there is to see. Again, not sure how long it stays there for. I just checked my iPhone again, and I can still see the info from the last conversation, which included several questions and answers. Looks like it saves all of the Q&A from the previous conversation.
So, if you have made multiple requests and gotten multiple results, you can see all of those. But it appears to need to be all in one conversation with Siri.
