Clients First knows their software, but they are also astute business people, and they really understand manufacturing and distribution in particular.

We’ve just posted up a comprehensive sub-site at Clients First focusing around SAP Business One. This site covers technical information, customer reference videos, demonstration and how-to videos, and business goal achievement.
It also has information and materials on Crystal Reports and Xcelsius for true business intelligence. Everything is wrapped up in an entertaining and visual video and avatar presentation format.
Over at the SAP Blog site, there is a great short article showing through the creative use of User Defined Tables (UDT’s), User Defined Fields (UDF’s) and some queries, how you can essentially setup and manage sales quotas with SAP Business One with no actual program modifications.
This article shows visual examples and full copy and paste code is available such as the image below
Although it may sound unnecessary, the first check is ensure you have the correct parameters set in your connection method.
Server: Test using IP address as well as Server name. Also include the Instance name if used. When installing the SAP Business One server on Version 8.8, you can no longer enter (local) or a period (.) for the server name. The name must be a server name or IP address.
DBType: dst_MSSQL /dst_MSSQL2005 depending if customer is using MSSQL 2000 or MSSQL 2005. Up until Version 2007, the default value for the DBServerType property of the Company object was dst_MSSQL (SQL Server 2000), so you could connect to the DI API without specifying a server type if you were using SQL Server 2000. In Version 8.8, you must specify a server type.
LicenseServer: ensure it is started and the correct name with port is used e.g. localhost:30000 or TestPC:30000
DBUserName and DBPassword are set and are correct.
