VIRTUAL MACHINE:
It’s a good option if you don’t want to mess-up your computer or acquire a dedicated
machine to run your application. The following are most popular virtual machines.
      Oracle Virtual box
        http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
      MS Virtual PC
        http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
      VM-Player
        http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/desktop_downloads/vmware_player/3_0

I will discuss Virtual box here and will illustrate the installation step by step.

The latest release from Oracle Corp: is VirtualBox 4.0.4 (for different hosts like
Windows, Linux, Solaris and OS X - Mac)

It’s totally free and you can download it from:-
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads (Size: 77.2MB)

Let’s perform a step by step installation.

   1. Double click on “VirtualBox-4.0.4-70112-Win.Exe”, you will see the Welcome
      message. Press NEXT and go to step # 2




   2. You need 116Mb of
      free space and a
      minimum 2GB of
      RAM to run this
      application.




   You can choose the installation location and customise the components. As
   shown in this screen (this is the default configuration)




3|Page
If you want to customise the standard settings, go ahead and make changes but if
you are pretty much agree with defaults - press NEXT and proceed to step # 3



   3. Asking to create shortcuts for you – change as you like and press NEXT for
      step # 4




   4. Warning message for
      the network interface –
      This step will inform
      you that the network
      connection will be
      temporarily
      disconnected. Press
      YES and proceed to
      Step # 5




4|Page
5. Ready to install
      message – press
      INSTALL to begin the
      installation




Oracle Corp: serial bus driver installation dialog. Press INSTALL to proceed




5|Page
6. Final step and the last screen. Press FINISH to finalise the VirtualBox
      installation on your computer.




CONFIGURING THE MACHINE:


Double click on VirtualBox shortcut to load the VirtualBox
manager



In VirtualBox, click on NEW – the new machine setup wizard will be launched and
guide you through the steps.

The first step is to choose the Guest OS. VirtualBox offers a comprehensive list of
Operating Systems, we have to choose one from the drop down list:




6|Page
o   Microsoft Windows
          o   Linux
          o   BSD (Unix)
          o   Solaris
          o   IBM OS/2
          o   Mac OS X
          o   Other

In our case – I am going to install Server 2008 64bit so select the Vendor Name and
OS Version from the drop down list. Provide a name for this machine, in my case –
“Server 2008 for SBO”



The next step is to
select the amount of
dedicated RAM for
the proposed
machine. It all
depends on your
available physical
RAM in the host
machine.




7|Page
VirtualBox will make a virtual disk to use with your machine. You can create a new
disk or can use an existing one – remember to mark it bootable because it’s your
primary hard drive in the machine.

Press NEXT to proceed




Welcome message from the virtual disk creation wizard.




Choose the hard drive type – Dynamic / expandable or fixed-size storage. The
Dynamic disk is created with minimum blocks of actual hard drive and expands in
size with use. Fixed-size occupies the whole block at once to maximum limits.




8|Page
Label your virtual drive and choose a path to save your V-Drive and you can
customise your drive size.




Final summary of your proposed virtual disk. In the summary view, you can see the
drive type, size and path. Press FINISH to create the virtual drive.




9|Page
The next step is summary of the virtual machine – It shows the machine name, OS
type, base memory and drive size.

Again press FINISH to create the machine – it will take couple of minutes to make
the Machine ready (speed depends on the host Processor and RAM).




The VirtualBox manager always shows you a list of available machines and when
you scroll down to a specific machine, it shows you the configuration of the machine.
You can also can change your machine configuration any time. It’s simple and easy
– chose your machine and click on the Settings option from the main menu.




10 | P a g e
A beautiful feature of VirtualBox is that you can create identical machines in no time.
It's simple and easy - Go to FILE and then Export Appliance Wizard. Follow the
prompts to make an export package. In the same way you can import applications to
make a new machine.




To change the configuration of an existing machine, select the machine from the list
of available machines. Press setting button and you will see the configuration menu

I am just dumping few screen shorts. They all are pretty much self explanatory and
for complete documentation you can refer to the VirtualBox documentation, which is
installed on your computer or go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/TracGuide

How to install SBO
In this release, MS-SQL is the default database shipped with SAP Business One
2007A. We can proceed with the installation with the following options:-

   1. Install SBO & MS-SQL in consecutive manner
   2. Install MS-SQL Server prior SBO

Both methods are fine as the ultimate goal is a successful installation of SBO.
Whatever option you decide, use the following values in MS-SQL:-




At the moment I would like to go with default installation option - 1



   1. Login as Administrator or
      power user (with
      Administrators privilege).



   2. Insert DVD of “SBO B1 2007A” –
      Main Menu (Fig:1) will pop up
      automatically because its
      auto-run but if not, double
      click on your DVD from “My
      computer”, open the
      AUTORUN folder, and double
      click on “Autorun.html”


17 | P a g e
The main menu (Fig: 1) offers four options:-

      Installation (for Server or Client software)
      Browse CD/DVD
      Read ME
      Documentation

We will proceed with Installation.
Next screen (Fig: 2) has two
options – SERVER or CLIENT.

At the moment we will proceed
with Server.

And later on Client – once the
Server installation is complete.




                                                      The System will automatically
                                                      detect whether MS-SQL is already
                                                      installed?

                                                      If you want to go with another DB
                                                      (DB2 or Oracle) select SKIP from
                                                      the DBO installation.

                                                      Click INSTALL, as we want to install
                                                      SQL SERVER because it’s our fresh
                                                      installation.

incompatibility is, I am using 64-bit
platform and “Visual Studio” is 32-bit
application. Dialog is offering two
options – 1st CHECK FOR SOULTIONS

                                                       MS-SQL installation




Change DVD - SAP Business One 2007A



When you insert the SBO DVD you will see Fig: 1, 2, and 3 (as you are familiar with it).
After pressing the INSTALL button on fig: 3 – the next screen will appear like fig: 23.

You have two options with the
SBO installation,

   1. TYPICAL
   2. CUSTOMIZE

TYPICAL is appropriate for most
installations – Its pretty straight
forward.

CUSTOMIZE will give you a
flexible installation where you
can choose components and
change the default installation
path.



24 | P a g e
Whatever installation path you
take, the following components
are mandatory to make SBO
operational.

      Business One 2007
      Server Tools
      Add-on Outlook . . .

It’s recommended to go with a
typical installation to
automatically install all three
applications without selecting
each individually.

A screen like Fig: 24 will appear
to install the first Application
“SAP Business One Server”, as
highlighted red in fig: 24.




Next step is screen fig: 25 - press
the NEXT button to proceed with
the installation.




User and company information is
required on screen fig: 26.

Press NEXT to proceed


25 | P a g e
“Business one 2007” offers three ways to go - Typical, Compact or Custom. This is
one of the core components of “SAP Business One 2007”, it comprises of

   1.   System Database (Common Database)
   2.   Demo database (Country dependent)
   3.   Server components
   4.   SAP Add-on
   5.   Help

In Custom Installations you
have the option to choose
amongst the given options but
remember that “System
database” and “Server
components” are essential to
run the system.

If you decide to go with
Compact installation – Only
“System database” and “Server
components” will be installed



Typical installation will install all above mentioned components silently.



Anyway I am assuming that you
will go with TYPICAL option.

Press NEXT and screen (Fig: 28A)
will appear. It’s actually a
confirmation of the database
you installed.

If a database is installed on
your system (as we have done),
the installer will ask for server-
Type. If you have more than
one database installed on your
system then a drop down menu
will show a list of installed
databases. Or you can
overwrite the type of your
database. In our case “MSSQL_2005”, press NEXT to proceed.

You will screen like (Fig:28B) - You must enter database credentials.


26 | P a g e
Server Name: [Local]

User Id: sa

Password: SAPB1Admin (As we set during DB installation)

Press NEXT to proceed.


If you decide to go with CUSTOM or COMAPCT option in “Business One 2007” the
below menu will appear (Fig:29)- You can select desired components.




Again press NEXT on screen (Fig: 30) to start copying files to you your computer
system.




27 | P a g e
The installation process can take around 5 – 10 minutes (depend on your machine).
Various information screens will appear and the installation will keep going.

Unfortunately you will face two error messages during the installation as shown in
fig:31. Simply press OK. I can’t judge the reason of this error – but this will not affect
installation process or functionality of SBO - Error databases will also be installed and
they all are operational and working.




.




The final screen (fig: 32) will appear, press OK to finish the installation process.




28 | P a g e
CLIENT INSTALLATION:

Insert DVD of “SBO B1 2007A” – Main Menu (Fig:1) will pop up automatically, if not,
double click on your DVD from “My computer”, open the AUTORUN folder and
double click on “Autorun.html”



Follow steps as shown in fig: 33,34 & 35




Fig: 35 is showing two options:

   1. Business One Client Application
   2. Optional Components

We have to install SBO client so at the moment we are going with option-1 and later
on I will explain option-2



29 | P a g e
Click for option-1 and you will see
screen like fig:36

Click on INSTALL and you will see the
next dialog (Fig:37).

Dot Net 1.1 framework is essential to run
Client software. This information box is
asking to install .Net 1.1 framework

Click YES to proceed with the
installation




Next dialog (fig:38)will appear – its actually compatibility information (I am running
64-bit OS and .Net is 32-bit, Microsoft has released a patch to fix this issue). Anyway
press RUN PROGRAM button and go ahead.




30 | P a g e
Next screen (fig: 39) is the License agreement from Microsoft – Select "I agree" and
press the INSTALL button.




It will take couple of minutes to install and when
done you will be informed.

When you acknowledge by pressing the OK
button, the next screen fig: 40 will appear –
Simply press NEXT to proceed.




31 | P a g e
Type User & Company
information on the screen like
Fig: 41 and press NEXT




                                  If the default installation path
                                  is accepted press NEXT
                                  otherwise enter a new
                                  installation path and press
                                  NEXT – as shown in fig: 42




Choose your program folder and
press NEXT as shown in fig : 43




32 | P a g e
A warning message will popup – read it
and acknowledge by pressing OK

POST INSTALLATION TASKS:
Before you move forward the most important step is “SAP Service Manager”. This
should be on your server; it manages all server related services like:

   1.   Early Watch Alerts
   2.   SBO Backup
   3.   SAP Business EventSender service
   4.   SAP Business One integration Service
   5.   SBO DI Server
   6.   License Manager 2007

How to check if the Service Manager is running on your SBO server?

If you find the following icon    in your system tray, the Service Manager is up and
running. If not, run setup.exe from the “packagesserver tools” folder on your
installation CD. e.g. “…..PackagesServer ToolsSetup.exe”




When you find the service manager icon in your
system tray, right click on it and open “Open SAP
Business One Service Manager”. As shown here




The Service Manager console will appear:

In the Console Manager interface, we have
server (localhost name), Service name and
starting style like start service by yourself or at
starting of computer.

Control panel – Play, Pause and stop control

Service controlling tasks like schedule, setting,
connection and database.




34 | P a g e
You can choose service from the
                                                   dropdown list and the controls will
                                                   stay the same like play, pause and
                                                   stop.

                                                   It might be possible via the Settings
                                                   buttonto apply changes according to
                                                   the service type.




EARLY WATCH ALERT:

This service will help you prevent unexpected system down (not for fast disaster), this
service will send you all kinds of serious alets before it get worse and stops your server.

The Early Watch service collects SBO health
data in a generated report. This report can be
sent to the System Administrator as
configured.

Alters can be scheduled to run and to send
Specific data

   -   Daily
   -   Weekly
   -   Monthly



Database connection settings needs some
information for the connection like:-

Database type: SQL/MySQL or Oracle

Databse Server: Local or IP address of DB server

Database super username: sa

Database user password: SAPB1Admin




35 | P a g e
After establising connection, choose the database you want to watch.

Press the database button and tick the data from the given list.



By pressing the “Setting” button on
the Early Watch alert service
console, you will reach to this screen.

Here you have the option to dispatch
report by email to given addresses.

Enter super username and password,
the remaining options are self
explanatory.

Write log, allows you to save the file
on given path or display after
generating the report and so on.

What event suits to your need chose
and press OK to save the changes
you made.



SBO BACKUP:

With the help of this service we can
automate the backup task. Here is a
screen dump of backup service console.

Again a control panel with play, pause
and stop. Service startup option at
computer startup.

Four buttons for Advanced Configuration.
I will expalain each configuration button.



The Scheduler is exactly the same as the
Service setup. So I am not going to repeat
it again and again with each service

Set the path of backup directory for
permament storage and for temorary
stoge of temp files.




36 | P a g e
Again database connetion setting to retreive
the data for the report production. It same
throughout the setup so I am repeating it
again and again.




Tick the database in which you are interested,
list of all available database lists will be
displayed here. You can choose more than one
database.




SAP BUSINESS ONE EVENTSENDER SERVICE:




As I mentioned before few setting are same
for all services like schedule, connection
and database. Most of the time settings are
different for each service.

So for this service I am dumping screen
short, pretty straight forward and self
explanatory.




37 | P a g e
38 | P a g e
39 | P a g e
SAP BUSINESS ONE INTEGRATION SERVICE:




The remaining services have similar
setup settings. Self explanatory screen
shots are attached.




40 | P a g e
41 | P a g e
42 | P a g e
SBO DI (DATA INTEGRATION) SERVER:



Data Intergration is one of the core
components for SBO. It performs the
intergration tasks across various modules.




Screen shots are attached here.




43 | P a g e
LINCENSE MANAGER 2007:



This is the most important service. For
the first 30 days you can use SBO free
but after the trial period expires, you
must obtain a license otherwise you
can’t connect to the database or
perform any task.



Licence setting screen shots are
provided here.



If you installed a valid license on
another server, the connection service
can pick it up if you provide the
necessery datails such as server name
or server IP. The default port is 30000




The Settings section of the General
settings can retreive system number,
installation number and harware key
when succesfully connected to license
server.



If you have a license key file on your
computer, you can import it with the
help of this section. First press the
browse button (red color) and then
press the “import license file” button.



The SAP license key is not like Microsoft Wndows 25 charcter long key. For the SBO
license you have to create a hardware signature of your server and send it to SAP AG.
They will in turn create a license key on the basis of the harware signature provided.




44 | P a g e
If you change your harware you require a new license key. For more information please
visit SAP AG web site. http://www1.sap.com/solutions/licensingmodel/index.epx

                             COMPANY SETUP IN SBO

The scope of this guide is to provide a typical company setup in SBO. The detailed
discussion of modules is beyond the scope of this guide. For the complete details of
modules, please refer to the documents provided with this software or visit the company
web site http://help.sap.com/content/sbo/2007/sbo_2007_A.htm

To access the SBO you should have the client software installed on your computer. After
establishing a connection to SBO, the following screen will appear.




Press the “Change Company” button. On the subsequent screen, press the “Change
Server” button to establish a connection with database server. In my case its MS-SQL as
you can see in “Current Server”




45 | P a g e
Provide the server credentials to
connect to the server, in my case I
put super user “sa” and SAP given
default password “SAPB1Admin”




On successful connection, the available database in server will appear as shown below:




Press the “New” button to create a new database for my proposed company.




Type your company name and provide a name for your database. Each country has its
own accounting system (charts of account), SBO has a comprehensive list of countries.
When you will select country, SBO will automatically pick the COA and other company
related settings. You can still define customized accounts by choosing the “User-


46 | P a g e
Defined” option. The other important step is to define the posting period for your
company. By pressing the posting button (green highlighted), you will see the next
screen.



Type all the necessary information
into the posting period screen and
press the “continue” button.




Now your SBO is ready to create a new
company database and all required
structure as per the provided credentials.

Simply press “OK” and give the go ahead
to your SBO. It will take a while to
complete the creation process.




As per the screen shot, the
new database is ready to use.

Select the desired database
and click “OK” to proceed
with the company database.




47 | P a g e
Note: You may see an SBO license dialog screen. In this case make sure that the
Service manager is running and the License service is started. Insert the IP address of
your license server or localhost if it is all on one machine. The default port is 30000.




If your credentials are not accepted as per the next screen shot, you may have an
expired
license.

If successful, you will see the following screen shot.




In the above screen you can notice that we have,
main menu on the top, next is tool bar. Then the
“side main menu” and the message bar in the
bottom.

I have attached the “Side main menu” for a closer
look. This menu displays the current database
(Victoria Uni), current user (Manager) and a
standard menu with three tabs. I have highlighted
the tabs and other information with different
colour.




48 | P a g e
I will explore the Administration menu, but the remaining menus are module specific
and beyond the scope of this article.




The expanded Administration menu is attached below. All tasks and submenus are self
explanatory. For detailed info visit http://help.sap.com/content/sbo/2007/index.htm

  • 25. Whatever installation path you take, the following components are mandatory to make SBO operational.  Business One 2007  Server Tools  Add-on Outlook . . . It’s recommended to go with a typical installation to automatically install all three applications without selecting each individually. A screen like Fig: 24 will appear to install the first Application “SAP Business One Server”, as highlighted red in fig: 24. Next step is screen fig: 25 - press the NEXT button to proceed with the installation. User and company information is required on screen fig: 26. Press NEXT to proceed 25 | P a g e
  • 26. “Business one 2007” offers three ways to go - Typical, Compact or Custom. This is one of the core components of “SAP Business One 2007”, it comprises of 1. System Database (Common Database) 2. Demo database (Country dependent) 3. Server components 4. SAP Add-on 5. Help In Custom Installations you have the option to choose amongst the given options but remember that “System database” and “Server components” are essential to run the system. If you decide to go with Compact installation – Only “System database” and “Server components” will be installed Typical installation will install all above mentioned components silently. Anyway I am assuming that you will go with TYPICAL option. Press NEXT and screen (Fig: 28A) will appear. It’s actually a confirmation of the database you installed. If a database is installed on your system (as we have done), the installer will ask for server- Type. If you have more than one database installed on your system then a drop down menu will show a list of installed databases. Or you can overwrite the type of your database. In our case “MSSQL_2005”, press NEXT to proceed. You will screen like (Fig:28B) - You must enter database credentials. 26 | P a g e
  • 27. Server Name: [Local] User Id: sa Password: SAPB1Admin (As we set during DB installation) Press NEXT to proceed. If you decide to go with CUSTOM or COMAPCT option in “Business One 2007” the below menu will appear (Fig:29)- You can select desired components. Again press NEXT on screen (Fig: 30) to start copying files to you your computer system. 27 | P a g e
  • 28. The installation process can take around 5 – 10 minutes (depend on your machine). Various information screens will appear and the installation will keep going. Unfortunately you will face two error messages during the installation as shown in fig:31. Simply press OK. I can’t judge the reason of this error – but this will not affect installation process or functionality of SBO - Error databases will also be installed and they all are operational and working. . The final screen (fig: 32) will appear, press OK to finish the installation process. 28 | P a g e
  • 29. CLIENT INSTALLATION: Insert DVD of “SBO B1 2007A” – Main Menu (Fig:1) will pop up automatically, if not, double click on your DVD from “My computer”, open the AUTORUN folder and double click on “Autorun.html” Follow steps as shown in fig: 33,34 & 35 Fig: 35 is showing two options: 1. Business One Client Application 2. Optional Components We have to install SBO client so at the moment we are going with option-1 and later on I will explain option-2 29 | P a g e
  • 30. Click for option-1 and you will see screen like fig:36 Click on INSTALL and you will see the next dialog (Fig:37). Dot Net 1.1 framework is essential to run Client software. This information box is asking to install .Net 1.1 framework Click YES to proceed with the installation Next dialog (fig:38)will appear – its actually compatibility information (I am running 64-bit OS and .Net is 32-bit, Microsoft has released a patch to fix this issue). Anyway press RUN PROGRAM button and go ahead. 30 | P a g e
  • 31. Next screen (fig: 39) is the License agreement from Microsoft – Select "I agree" and press the INSTALL button. It will take couple of minutes to install and when done you will be informed. When you acknowledge by pressing the OK button, the next screen fig: 40 will appear – Simply press NEXT to proceed. 31 | P a g e
  • 32. Type User & Company information on the screen like Fig: 41 and press NEXT If the default installation path is accepted press NEXT otherwise enter a new installation path and press NEXT – as shown in fig: 42 Choose your program folder and press NEXT as shown in fig : 43 32 | P a g e
  • 33. A warning message will popup – read it and acknowledge by pressing OK Finally the screen Fig: 44 will appear to inform that the installation is finished. Press the FINISH button to acknowledge the installation completion process. On successful completion of this installation the “SAP Business One” icon will be on your desktop. Client Optional Components Optional components are beyond the scope of this documentation. 33 | P a g e
  • 34. POST INSTALLATION TASKS: Before you move forward the most important step is “SAP Service Manager”. This should be on your server; it manages all server related services like: 1. Early Watch Alerts 2. SBO Backup 3. SAP Business EventSender service 4. SAP Business One integration Service 5. SBO DI Server 6. License Manager 2007 How to check if the Service Manager is running on your SBO server? If you find the following icon in your system tray, the Service Manager is up and running. If not, run setup.exe from the “packagesserver tools” folder on your installation CD. e.g. “…..PackagesServer ToolsSetup.exe” When you find the service manager icon in your system tray, right click on it and open “Open SAP Business One Service Manager”. As shown here The Service Manager console will appear: In the Console Manager interface, we have server (localhost name), Service name and starting style like start service by yourself or at starting of computer. Control panel – Play, Pause and stop control Service controlling tasks like schedule, setting, connection and database. 34 | P a g e
  • 35. You can choose service from the dropdown list and the controls will stay the same like play, pause and stop. It might be possible via the Settings buttonto apply changes according to the service type. EARLY WATCH ALERT: This service will help you prevent unexpected system down (not for fast disaster), this service will send you all kinds of serious alets before it get worse and stops your server. The Early Watch service collects SBO health data in a generated report. This report can be sent to the System Administrator as configured. Alters can be scheduled to run and to send Specific data - Daily - Weekly - Monthly Database connection settings needs some information for the connection like:- Database type: SQL/MySQL or Oracle Databse Server: Local or IP address of DB server Database super username: sa Database user password: SAPB1Admin 35 | P a g e
  • 36. After establising connection, choose the database you want to watch. Press the database button and tick the data from the given list. By pressing the “Setting” button on the Early Watch alert service console, you will reach to this screen. Here you have the option to dispatch report by email to given addresses. Enter super username and password, the remaining options are self explanatory. Write log, allows you to save the file on given path or display after generating the report and so on. What event suits to your need chose and press OK to save the changes you made. SBO BACKUP: With the help of this service we can automate the backup task. Here is a screen dump of backup service console. Again a control panel with play, pause and stop. Service startup option at computer startup. Four buttons for Advanced Configuration. I will expalain each configuration button. The Scheduler is exactly the same as the Service setup. So I am not going to repeat it again and again with each service Set the path of backup directory for permament storage and for temorary stoge of temp files. 36 | P a g e
  • 37. Again database connetion setting to retreive the data for the report production. It same throughout the setup so I am repeating it again and again. Tick the database in which you are interested, list of all available database lists will be displayed here. You can choose more than one database. SAP BUSINESS ONE EVENTSENDER SERVICE: As I mentioned before few setting are same for all services like schedule, connection and database. Most of the time settings are different for each service. So for this service I am dumping screen short, pretty straight forward and self explanatory. 37 | P a g e
  • 38. 38 | P a g e
  • 39. 39 | P a g e
  • 40. SAP BUSINESS ONE INTEGRATION SERVICE: The remaining services have similar setup settings. Self explanatory screen shots are attached. 40 | P a g e
  • 41. 41 | P a g e
  • 42. 42 | P a g e
  • 43. SBO DI (DATA INTEGRATION) SERVER: Data Intergration is one of the core components for SBO. It performs the intergration tasks across various modules. Screen shots are attached here. 43 | P a g e
  • 44. LINCENSE MANAGER 2007: This is the most important service. For the first 30 days you can use SBO free but after the trial period expires, you must obtain a license otherwise you can’t connect to the database or perform any task. Licence setting screen shots are provided here. If you installed a valid license on another server, the connection service can pick it up if you provide the necessery datails such as server name or server IP. The default port is 30000 The Settings section of the General settings can retreive system number, installation number and harware key when succesfully connected to license server. If you have a license key file on your computer, you can import it with the help of this section. First press the browse button (red color) and then press the “import license file” button. The SAP license key is not like Microsoft Wndows 25 charcter long key. For the SBO license you have to create a hardware signature of your server and send it to SAP AG. They will in turn create a license key on the basis of the harware signature provided. 44 | P a g e
  • 45. If you change your harware you require a new license key. For more information please visit SAP AG web site. http://www1.sap.com/solutions/licensingmodel/index.epx COMPANY SETUP IN SBO The scope of this guide is to provide a typical company setup in SBO. The detailed discussion of modules is beyond the scope of this guide. For the complete details of modules, please refer to the documents provided with this software or visit the company web site http://help.sap.com/content/sbo/2007/sbo_2007_A.htm To access the SBO you should have the client software installed on your computer. After establishing a connection to SBO, the following screen will appear. Press the “Change Company” button. On the subsequent screen, press the “Change Server” button to establish a connection with database server. In my case its MS-SQL as you can see in “Current Server” 45 | P a g e
  • 46. Provide the server credentials to connect to the server, in my case I put super user “sa” and SAP given default password “SAPB1Admin” On successful connection, the available database in server will appear as shown below: Press the “New” button to create a new database for my proposed company. Type your company name and provide a name for your database. Each country has its own accounting system (charts of account), SBO has a comprehensive list of countries. When you will select country, SBO will automatically pick the COA and other company related settings. You can still define customized accounts by choosing the “User- 46 | P a g e
  • 47. Defined” option. The other important step is to define the posting period for your company. By pressing the posting button (green highlighted), you will see the next screen. Type all the necessary information into the posting period screen and press the “continue” button. Now your SBO is ready to create a new company database and all required structure as per the provided credentials. Simply press “OK” and give the go ahead to your SBO. It will take a while to complete the creation process. As per the screen shot, the new database is ready to use. Select the desired database and click “OK” to proceed with the company database. 47 | P a g e
  • 48. Note: You may see an SBO license dialog screen. In this case make sure that the Service manager is running and the License service is started.
