B1DE setup error

[Former Member]

Hi Friends

I m using B1DE to create a setup for SAP B1. As per the instuction given in file. I have created. But I am facing the 2 Problems.

1. To create ARD File there is one batch file. when run it create ARD file for us.

But it is not creating ARD File. I open that bat file but did not find any information about ARD file (i.e filename having extension .ard). So I proceed for Manual Creation of ARD File). Now the setup is running.

2. But In bettween the installation, It flashes the message

"Exception occured while initilizing the installation

System.io.filenotfoundexception, could not load file or assembly

'file:///C:\WINDOWS\system32\Files\SAP\SAP or one of it's dependencies. the system can not find the file specified."

After that Installation RollBack;

Need urgent Help......

Manish,

face this problem. The thing is u ur system got virus its shows this error. Do ur Addon in another system.

Else Before u make a addon u delete the .exe file of ur project and run that project and take that .exe file for ur addon. It will Work

If this helps give me points,

Hi Nazir,

Good Morning. I am back with some new queries. If you any Idea about the following qustion then please share with me.

1. I would like to retrive the password of sa

Why: - I am using C#.net for customizing the reports and in that report I am using sql connection to fetch the data from sqlserver. to fetch the data in report i need connection string, and to build connection string i need username and password. username will be 'sa' but what about password. Is there any way to retrive password of sa through sql server or through sap as sap is also using the same condition. if we retrive the password or connectionstring or device context which represent connection string then my work could be easier.

2. I would like to retrive the password of manager (in SAP)

Why: - By default SAP uses manager/manager (username and password) . Now I would like to get the company object. (see example)

SAPbobsCOM.Company company = new SAPbobsCOM.Company();

company.Server = app.Company.ServerName;

<b>company.UserName = app.Company.UserName;</b>

<b>company.Password = "manager"; //(hard coded)</b>

company.language = SAPbobsCOM.BoSuppLangs.ln_English;

int hResult = company.Connect();

See the Bold Line.... Here we have username property to retrive the username. but what about the password Here I have hardcoded. if the user changes the password this code will definetly fail.

3. How to animate the user define form which we created by programmatically in SAP. as the sap use animation for opening there form.

Bye

Take Care

Hi Nazir,

Please check the app.password.... this method / property is missing in app class (here app means reference of sap application) and what about the remaining questions.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

com.password=com.password

Hi,

SAPbobsCOM.Company company = new SAPbobsCOM.Company();

company.Server = app.Company.ServerName;

company.UserName = app.Company.UserName;

company.Password = "manager"; //(hard coded)

company.language = SAPbobsCOM.BoSuppLangs.ln_English;

please make the correction on this code...

app : - is my reference to sap application

company : - it is my company object and to establish the connection with the company we need to pass some credentials like server , username password, langauage etc....

In the next line I am setting the credentials. every thing is ok but what about the password.

Manish,

If u want to create ard file u follow this instruction...

1) Go to Visual Studio .Net

2) Click New Project in File menu

3) There choose Sap B1 AddOnInstraller .Net Wizard

4) Its will ask for Name, Version, Time

5) Then ask for .exe files

The .ard file will be created.

After that go to SAPB1 there go to administration -> AddOn -> AddOnManager

Click Register AddOn give the ard file and install it will work fine.

If it helps give me reward points,

Thanx,

Dear Ani,

The same thing i was doing. but it won't work. I mean it does not create ARD file through batch file create in project. I created it manually.

After that when installation start it shows the error of missing some files. As I allready mention in my prev. query.
