Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2?  We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine.  All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005).  The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
What we are finding is:
1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed.  So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions.  While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart.  There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window.  Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services.  My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.

I believe the supporting of this OS is still on Planned basis.  You may check with SAP support to give them a good user case to fight with any non-compatible issues.

  • Crystal Server with SAP Business One Crystal

    Hi,
    We have installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 on a server which already had Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) (Fix pack 3, SAP Business One version) installed, as well as SAP Business One 8.8.
    This is the first time we have dealt with the CR Server application.
    The CCM & the CMC are running fine as are all the services.
    When running CR 2008 and choosing Save As: Enterprise, the error message "No authentication plugins are installed" appears.
    The Business View manager pops up a log on box and no authentication methods appear in the drop down box.
    Is it possible the SAP install has corrupted the Crystal Server install, as the authentication plug in dll's do appear to be missing from the server.
    The same issue arises when istalling the client tools on a client which has the same designer version installed, but not on a client which has on older version installed.

    Resolved by uninstalling everything Crystal related, deleting the Business Objects folers, then  reinstalling starting with Crystal Server.
    The install of the B1 specific versions must not contain some necessary files, which are then not installed by the other products

  • Windows Workflow Foundation and SAP Business One

    Does anyone here have any experience creating Windows Workflow Foundation (.NET 3.5) activities and workflows that interact with SAP Business One?
    A lot of examples in books show how easy it is to use workflows to write directly to a database, but we obviously cannot do that with SBO.
    I am most interested in where to place the code to log into the DI-API and how to pass that connection to the individidual activities.
    Thank you,
    Mike

    Michael,
    This could be done with some work using the DI Server and Business One Web Services (B1WS).  You can get more detail on B1WS from the Tools section of main SAP Business One page here on SDN ... although it does not go into WFS or WF.
    In the future when eSOA services are delivered for SAP Business One ... you will see that WF can be used much more easily.  This is an area that SAP is investigating ... keep a lookout on SDN!

  • Bank Statement management in SAP B1 on a VMWare Windows 2008 server

    Hi everybody,
    One of our customer is using a VMWare Windows 2008 server with SAP B1.
    Actual version of Business One is SBO 2007A PL 00 PL 15 (SQL Server 2005).
    Since the installation of this server using VMWare, we encouter problems using the SAP B1 Integration Platform for the process of the bank statements.
    Everything including bank statements transfer was working very fine on a "real" server before new implementation.
    When trying to open the Integration Platform Control Center on the server, we now receive the following message regarding JAVA.
    "JAVA Virtual Machine Launcher : could not find the main class : program will exit."
    JAVA is well installed on the VMWare server.
    We have searched for a solution on the Web and it seems that JAVA and VMWare are not compatible. Does anybody have any information about that ?
    Does anybody already have this problem with Integration Platfom on VMWare server ?
    Is there a solution to our problem ?
    Thanks for all your contributions.
    Best regards.
    Michel

    Hi Michel,
    First of all, your PL is too low.  AFAIK, the first supported PL for 2007A SP00 is PL30.  You may upgrade your PL first to see if that is a bug or not.
    Thanks,

  • Funktionsweise von SAP Business One

    Hallo,
    ich wollte fragen wie SAP Business One funktioniert!
    Warum muss man einen SQL Server für das Benutzen von SAP Business One
    installieren und konfigurieren?
    Greift etwa SAP Business One auf die Datenbank (SQL) zu und holt Informationen
    aus dieser Datenbank?
    Mir ist die Funktionsweise von SAP Business One nicht ganz klar,
    wäre schön, wenn mir das jemand ausführlich(!!!) erklären könnte!
    Ich würde gerne / mein Ziel ist es , auf einem (einzigen !!
    Was brauche ich alles, damit auf meinem WIndows 7 prof.
    Rechner, SAP Business One läuft?
    Ist es möglich auf einem und dem selben PC
    den SQL Server laufen zu lassen und gleichzeitig
    SAP Business One zu benutzen?

    Hallo,
    SAP Business One benötigt einen SQL Server, da dort die Firmendatenbanken gespeichert werden und über diesen alle SAP Nutzer auf die Firmendatenbanken zugreifen. Die Datenhaltung erfolgt in einer Datenbank auf dem SQL Server.
    Es ist möglich einen SQL Server, den SAP Business One Server und den SAP Business One Client auf einem Rechner zu installieren, dazu sind allerdings die Mindestvoraussetzungen zu prüfen.

  • Trying to install SAP Business One 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional pc

    Hi,   i am trying to install SAP Business One V 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional laptop.  I need to install the server and client sides.  I have already installed SQL server express 2005.
    When i try to to install the server software I get the error message 1628 installation failed almost straight away.  I ket the same message if I try and install the server tools, SBo server or outlook integration. 
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    Hi Simon,
    Solution to Problem ID :1618
    Try the following Steps :
    1. Clear the 'Temporary' Folder of Windows 7 : Start ->Run->%temp%->Press 'Enter'->Select All & Delete
    2. Restart your machine. (This is Must)
    Actually it keeps an image of the previous installations, so always for re-installation you need to perform this steps.
    Same is with Win 2008 Server editions also.
    Now proceed with the installation and remember always run SBO installations in Windows 7 and 2008 Server by clicking on 'Run as Administrator'
    Hope your problem would be solved.

  • Running SAP Business One on a 64-bit server

    One of our clients wants to upgrade their server to a 64-bit server running Windows Server 2008.
    What are the implications of this and do we also need to then use Microsoft SQL Server 2008?
    I went to this web link: https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/smb/sbo/platforms and found some info, but the questions I still have is the following:
    1. If we upgrade to SQL 2008, do we have to buy licenses or can we also just get an installation from SAP with our software (if we've gone live over 2 years ago already on SQL 2000, then upgraded to SQL 2005).
    2. Can we still stay on SQL 2005 or is it better to use SQL 2008 and what is the implications?
    I found the following on the link posted above:
    Mar 11: SAP Business One 2007 now supports Microsoft® SQL Server 2008.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is now fully supported by SAP Business One 2007 A (as of patch 47) and SAP Business One 2007 B (as of patch 10), including SAP-developed add-ons.
    Jan 21: SAP Business One 2007 now supports Microsoft® Windows Server 2008.
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is now fully supported by SAP Business One 2007 A (as of patch 46) and SAP Business One 2007 B (as of patch 09), including SAP-developed add-ons. 64-bit and WTS support are still pending and will be announced when available.
    What exactly does the bold part mean?
    Any tips/hints on making this decision will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Adele

    Hi Adele,
    "64-bit and WTS support are still pending and will be announced when available" means that Windows 2008 64bit has not been tested working with SAP Business One yet. Thus not supported (yet).
    Same applies to W indows T erminal S erver 32bit and 64bit.

    Yes, you can still stay on MSSQL 2005 and upgrade later to MSSQL 2008. The other way around will not work. MSSQL 2008 is currently supported only as of SAP Business One 2007 A PL47 or SAP Business One 2007 B PL10.

    Hi Trinidad,
    Thanks for your help!!!
    1.
    I didn't install EventSender and DIProxy yet, I tried first to upload and deploy the zip files, but I couldn't open the Itegration Application Explorer.
    2.
    The jvm.dll file is in in the folder pointed by the logs: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One Integration\jdk1.5.0_xx_sap\jre\bin\server
    and it is also in C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One Integration\jdk1.5.0_xx_sap_64\jre\bin\server
    I tried running the file  java5w.exe, but I got an error message:
    Access is denied
    Unable to open the service tomcat5
    Thne I managed to open it by "rua as administrator".
    the Java Virtual Machine path is points to the java 1.5 version folder.
    Is it possible that the reason that the service can't start is related to administrator rigts??
    In the properties in the Integration Service (services.msc):
    It is set to be run with the local system account.
    all other properties looks fine.
    in the properties of the tomcat5.exe (and tomcat5w.exe  , I tried both)
    In the Compatibility tab I tried setting the flag "Run this program in compatibility mode for" to Vista, windows 7, and server 2008
    I didn't have the option of Windows XP.
    I have also set the Privilege level of: "Run this program as administrator" to true.
    But still the service won't start.
    What can be the problem?
    What else can I check?
    Thanks a lot,
    Chana

  • Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

    Hi All
    We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
    When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
    We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
    After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-

    Hi Eric,
    yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
    we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
    Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
    We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
    I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Prabhu Reddy.

  • SAP Business One 8.8 running on a server with Peer to Peer

    Can SAP Business One 8.8  be install and run in a server with a Peer to Peer Operative system?

    You have more than one Oracle Release on the Server. hence more than one ORACLE_HOME.
    Check which is your default ORACLE_HOME on the server and check which of the homes PERL5LIB environment variable is pointing from both command prompt and in Windows.
    That could explain the funny bahaviour. If you change ORACLE_HOME, that could help.

  • How to run SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows and use MaxDB on linux/W

    Good day,
    As the subject shows we have SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 and I want to find out how to use it in combination with MaxDB instead of MS SQL. I find a lot of MaxDB stuff on the net but no guides on how to setup SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows workstations and connect them to MaxDB.
    Is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it ?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated .

    Hi,
    I suggest you to check the supported server for B1 in this link:
    http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/platforms
    You will know the sap b1 supported platform.
    If you really want to use maxDB on linux/W as B1 server, you can send a development request to SAP AG.
