DI API Version
|
Magic xpi supports the use of multiple SAP Business One Data Interface API versions within a single project. For example, from the same project you can:
-
Work with the SAP Business One 8.8 DI API, located on the same machine as Magic xpi.
-
Connect to a different SAP Business One company, located on a remote server, that is running the SAP Business One 2005 DI API.
This parameter allows you to define the DI API version that you want to work with for a specific SAPB1 resource, provided that it has been installed on your machine.
For example, if you want to work with the SAP Business One 2005 DI API, you should enter 2005.0 in this parameter.
The DI values are located in the registry under the SAPbobsCOM.Company.X key, where X represents the version.
The default value for this parameter is blank. This means that the resource will use the default DI API that is defined by the SAP installation that you are using. The default DI value is located in the registry under the SAPbobsCOM.Company key.
|
Note:
|
-
You should always specify the DI version that you want to use, and not rely on the default value.
-
You should make sure that the DI API dll files match the SAP Business One version that the DI API connects to. If there is a mismatch, you can copy the DI API dll files from the remote SAP Business One server, and then use them where Magic xpi is installed.
|
|
SAPB1 resources also give you the following button:
|
|
| |
Validate
|
Click this button to verify that the connection to the SAPB1 server is valid. You will receive a message indicating that the connection is established, or an error message if the connection failed.
|
|
Note:
|
Although, theoretically, you can define as many SAP database connections as you want, in practice you are limited by the type of license that you have. This means that:
-
An error message informs you if you exceed the number of database connections permitted by your license.
-
Magic xpi uses connections sequentially, in the order that they appear in the Connections List, up to the limit specified in the license. Any connections that exceed this limit are not processed.
