What is the biggest SAP Business One database you have ever seen?

Hi All
I'm trying to determine what capabilities of how big a SAP Business One database can become without it becomming to slow to work with... The reason for this question is that have a customer with a database of 27GB ... The customer have only been in production for one year, but because they roughly place 1500 sales orders each day the growth rate is big...
So the question is simple how many GB is your largest customer and how does the system manage?

Hi Rasmus,
I'd agree with the above, the overall size isn't as important as the hardware that they are using. I've seen a 75GB database system which was suffering badly because they hadn't specc'd the disk I/O correctly although memory and CPU were fine (we didn't spec this, it was a site we were called in to help on when they started having issues). Of course, a larger database is going to have other issues (eg backup and restore times, patch upgrade times etc) and you'd probably want to be more proactive on database maintenance than on a smaller database (eg you don't want to have autogrow kicking in during the day so you'd need to make sure that there is sufficient space in the database at all times).
If you are concerned about database size then one option is to clear the history tables. This can reduce the database up to 50% but, of course, you'll lose the change history.
Database archiving is still rumoured to be coming out in the next version.
Kind Regards,
Owen

One of the best scam emails from "apple" I have ever seen

I received a very convincing email from [email protected] asking me to up date my details. It was very soft and apple like so I started to input my details, then it asked for credit card updates, mothers maiden name and CVV number of my card. Turns out you don't even need to log in, it takes you directly to this page even if you just click sign in! I'm worried that others may comply so here is the link!
DO NOT ENTER ANY DETAILS ITO THIS AS THEY WILL TAKE YOU ENTIRE IDENTITY AND ROB YOU!

Know more detail about the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One ?

SAP Business One 9.1 is about to release this year and we can see in the feature enhancements that a significant update is planned in the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One, more commonly known as RSP. Let’s have a quick look what update is planned for RSP in version 9.1:
Enhancements planned in Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One 9.1
RSP is planned to support both SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server as well as SAP Business One on HANA Database
RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both   on SQL Server and HANA.
But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
Company Database Backup and Restore options
Regular fixes of Company Database inconsistencies
Check, Download and Install regular updates in SAP Business One
Upload Logs and required files to SAP Support or to Partner Support on regular basis
Some details about RSP Backup Management
Schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups
Perform differential and full database backups
Back up transaction logs
Back up files to shared folders on a network
System Status Report through RSP
From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from Remote Support Platform (RSP) for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etc).
Database uploads only via RSP
From June 1st 2013 SAP Business One Support will only accept database uploads to SAP via remote support platform for SAP Business One. In certain exceptional circumstances STFP may be used but this will constitute a minority of cases.
Microsoft Windows PowerShell Scripting
In the remote support platform studio, you can create tasks using Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting. PowerShell enables you to perform remote administrative tasks on customers’ Microsoft Windows operating systems, by providing full access to Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).Some Network Prerequisite for RSP
To achieve the internet connection test, you must allow port 80 for the RSP external communication
Disabling antivirus firewall or add the RSP to the trusted zone of the antivirus
Set the correct proxy
Disabling Windows firewall in the TP_link Wireless Configuration Utility

SAP Business One iPad Apps Sales Catalog photo problem

Dear all,
I have a question about the iPad SAP Business One Mobile Apps Sales Catalog.
Inside the Sales Catalog, it will show the Item group with pictures and when you look inside the item group, it will show the Item image which is set up in the Item Master.
Can anyone help on this? Thanks very much.

According to the B1if sap.GetItemPicture Scenario, the path to the picture is looked up by the following query.
SELECT BitmapPath AS 'bitmappath' FROM OADP
The PictureName is passed into the GetItemPicture web service as a parameter.
This leads me to my next question:
What do you have the Pictures Folder (BitmapPath) set to in General Settings?
I am guessing you have it set to C:\Program Files\SAP\..........
The problem with this is that it save the picture to your local client computer and B1if is running on the server. You will want to change the path to a network path that looks something like this:
\\server\b1_shr\Pictures
Why?
If the Pictures Folder is set to C:\Program Files\SAP\.....
1. When a user attaches an image, SAP Business One client places the picture in C:\Program Files\SAP\..... path on the client workstation, not on the server.
2. B1if is usually run on the server and does not have access to a client workstation
If Pictures folder is C:\Program Files\SAP\......., B1if looks up the Pictures Folder set in the database and appends the file. In this case, B1if is reading C:\Program Files\SAP\.....\<imagefile>.jpg on the server in which B1if is running.
3. The only time using a C:\Program Files\SAP\...... would work is when the client, server and B1if is running on the same machine and the permission to the C:\Program Files\SAP\..... folder is set up to allow B1if to read from the directory and the client to write to the directory.
Using UNC notation
if the Pictures Folder is set to a UNC path \\Server\b1_shr\Pictures
1. When the user attaches an image, SAP Business One client places the picture on the server
2. B1if will read the picture from the server from the shared folder on the server
Conclusion
You need to use UNC notation to identify the path of the Picture Folder so that all pictures are placed in the same location.
What is your path set to for the Pictures Folder in General Settings?

Setting Non-perpetual Inventory in SAP Business One

Dear SAP partners,
Do you know how to setup non-perpetual inventory in SAP Business One?
I have tried to uncheck "Use Perpetual Inventory" in Administration > System Initialization > Company Details > Basic Initialization but SAP shows "item cost cannot be base price origin for gross profit calculation".
I also have tried to uncheck "Calculate Gross Profit" in Administration > System Initialization > Document Settings > General but SAP still shows "Item cost cannot be base price origin for gross profit calculation".
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Jimmy

Dear Jitin,
I am able to change anything under the dropdown of the 'Calculate Gross Profit'
i can change Base Price Origin, choose option button of calculate % Gross Profit.
I am sure to uncheck Perpetual Inventory, but SAP's still showing "Item cost cannot be base price origin for gross profit calculation, even though i already uncheck "Calculate Gross Profit".
There is also no transactions entered in the database.
What should I do then?
Thank you.

Upgrade to SAP Business One 8.8 - Legal List Format

Hi All,
I am currently experimenting with the upgrade process from 2007A PL46 to SAP Business One 8.8 PL5.
On some company databases that I try I get the error Legal List Format - Failed during the database upgrade process. Does anyone know what this refers to and how it can be fixed?
Many thanks,
Damian

No it's a very clean installation in the sense that it is a database that has only run against the core SAP Business one. the only add on that would have been used during the original set-up would have been copy-express and DTW.
The company data i am using is a copy of our own corporate data, nothing fancy as we are an SAP partnership so no real inventory even.

SAP Business One 8.82 supports replication?

I have two servers running SAP B1 PL11 in a MS SQL Server 2008 r2 standard and this two servers is running on different locations and i already set up VPN connection in this two locations so that they can reach each other. I'm planning to synchronize their Databases.
Is their any chance to do this? or what kind of MS SQL Server replication is applicable to this?
I hope anyone can help me.

Hi jbrotto,
8.82 has already entered the pre-view phase for partners & Ramp-up is scheduled for mid-October.
You will find highlights of 8.82 & version 9 in the roadmap:

Loading data from SAP Business One to BW

We need to load data from several SAP Business One databases to BW. I find some special objects for SAP Business One in the Business Content
And a short description in Help:
The source for the data upload is a file system. The relevant files can be generated using the views provided within the SAP Business One database.
May be someone has an experience in this area or could advise documentation about this
May be better to use DB-connect?
Thanks for your help

Hello Elena,
I am just curious if you've found answer to your question how to extract data fron BusinessOne into SAP/BI? What can we use? Only flat files or there are some standard extractors exists? Or have you used DB Connect for that?
Thank you,

SAP Business One on Ipad

Dear All,
I installed SAP Business One 8.81 PL04 (on Server) and SQL server 2005.
My questions are
1) i install B1 integration component, when i am opening the integration framework i am getting a windows security dialog box in which it is mentioned that "The server 127.0.0.0 at B1iP_dummy requires a user name and password.
Warning: The server is requesting that your user name and password be sent in the insecure mannar(basic authentication without a secure connection.
User Name :B1iadmin
Password:xxxxxx
Here my question is that if i provide username and password, Integration Solution for SAP Business One is opened but is not reflecting any data when i am clicking on SLD, Scnarios, Maintaining, Control Centre.......etc.
2) I want to connect to the server through the ipad.
I put the user as mobile user, i have given UDID number of Ipad, phone no of mobile user in SAP Business One.
I have given the server details like IP add: 000.000.000.000:8080 and kept SSL On and given DB Name as SBODemoIN and username as 'ABC'.
When i am entering the password it is reflecting me an error "an ssl error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. [-1200]'.
I want to know where i have done the mistake.
Note: i tried by giving ip with B1 port number like : 000.000.000.000:30000 again its reflecting same error.
Can any body help me out.

Lets try to keep it together ...
1.) in SAP Business One you have to set the following settings for the user you want to connect with
a.) checkbox "mobile user" is checked
b.) mobile-number (must be digit by digit the same as you set it in the settings of the App)
c.) UDID of the iPad/iPhone (this is a 40 (!!!) digit alphanumerical number of the device)
ATTENTION - since SBO App. v.1.6.0, the UDID is no longer in use, now yo have to set the W-LAN MAC Adress here
d.) the User has a limited or a professional user license
e.) the user has a B1i licence
2.) settings in the iPad/iPhone App
a.) Server: IP Adress of the Bi1 Integration Server followed by :8443 (e.g.: 91.55.110.15:8443)
8080 is the http port (unsecure), while 8443 is the https port (secure)
b.) SSL: is on
c.) Company DB: the database Name of the company you wanted to connect to (and where you have made the user setting above) (e.g.: SBODemoIN)
d.) Usercocode: the log in name of the user you made the above settings for (e.g.: manager)
e.) Phonenumber: digit by digit the same as above 1.).b.)
f.) Demosystem: needless to say, this is Off
3.) network settings
a.) certainly the port 8443 must be available from outside the network
b.) VPN connection to the network must be possible
c.) the VPN connection setting has to be set in the iPad(iPhone
If this all is set and done,
1.) you first have to establish a VPN connection with your iPad/iPhone
2.) and now/than you should be able to connect to the company with the iPad/iPhone App
Hope this helps and make it e little bit clearer how this all works.
The SBO App is "nothing else" as an WebService-Call-Interface from the iPad/iPhone to the B1i Server. Every form/view you are filling in the App, is a WebService call/request to SAP Business One. To Send this WebService Request to the B1i Server, you first have to connect into the company network (via VPN) otherwise you call cannot reach the B1i Server ...
regards from Hamburg,
Heiko

Error Connecting SAP Business One and Crystal Report

Hi All,
I installed Crystal Report 2008 on my system for creating a report in Crystals.
I clicked on "New Report" and it opened a window called "Database Exert." However, when I look in the Database Expert, I cannot see "SAP Business One" in it. How can I connect SAP Business One 8.8 with Crystal Report?
Regards,
Bharath S

Hi
On your computer, locate the Crystal folder according to the following directory path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Crystal. Then double-click the file: SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.exe. and follow the step of the setup status screen.

Unable to create new connection using SAP Business One

Hi all,
I am unable to make a connection using the new SAP Business One connetion provided with the 8.8 release of SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.
There are no Companies available to select from. When I try to manually type in the company name, the logon fails. If I then press "Cancel", I get a message that Crystal reports encountered a problem and needs to close. The details of the error refers to the following DLL: crdb_b1.dll.
The connection is successful from another PC that only has the Client installed (and uses the License server on our server, which also contains the databases.)
I have a local installation with my own license server. I am not even able to connect to the database on my local PC.
Please can anyone explain why this isn't working?
Regards,
Rikard

Hi Rikard,
You may get better help if you post your question to the Business One forum. I can' t move your post.
Thank you

Get SAP Business One connection

Hi all.
I'm creating a report using Crystal Reports Basic 2008 for SAP Business One and I have a question.
Our client has three databases under one server, so, I'm creating three reports and i'm conecting them under a UDL file.
My question is if it's possible to get the actual SAP Business One connection when the report is call? Because this way, I can only make a report instead of three.
I hope I was able to express myself best. I'm thank you and i'm waiting. Thanks.
The system have:
Windows Server 2008 SP2
SQL Server 2008
SAP Business One 8.8 PL 11
Crystal Reports Basic 2008 for SAP Business One 12.1.0.892

Hi,
I don't think that is possible since the sequence to run CR is after connecting to a specific database.
Thanks,
Gordon
