Security Information for Integration Packages

The integration framework security guide gives you information that explains how to implement a security policy

and provides recommendations for meeting security demands for the integration framework.

For more information, choose Start --> All programs --> Integration solution for SAP Business One --> Integration

Framework, and then choose Help --> Documents --> Operations, section 6, Security Guide.

Security Aspects Related to the Dashboards Solution

Permission and authentication rules for dashboards:

The system administrator can decide whether to grant each user full or no permission, for each dashboard, in the Authorizations form.

By default, with a new company and for all dashboards, a non-super user has no permissions.

At Run time, the user should be able to view the full dashboard even if this user does not have permissions for underlined user-defined queries.

During SAP Business One startup, the SAP Business One user name and password are sent with basic Authentication through HTTP or HTTPS to the integration framework. The integration framework server uses the user name and password to authenticate the user and to return the session.

After that, SAP Business One pings the integration framework server from time to time to keep the session active.

The dashboard retrieves the data through the connection through HTTP post functions.

Security Aspects Related to the RFQ Scenario with Online

Quotation

You must provide vendors included in the RFQ process access to the online purchasing document on the integration framework server.

You can accomplish this by restricting access to the server to a minimum. To restrict access to the server,

configure the network (NAT) firewall as shown below:

Only allow external access to the particular hostname / IP-address

Only allow external access to the configured server port.

Default: port 8080 for HTTP, or port 8443 for HTTPS

If applicable and available for the particular firewall, configure the restricting URL:

http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/B1iXcellerator/exec/ipo/vP.0010000100.in_HCSX/com.sa

p.b1i.vplatform.runtime/INB_HT_CALL_SYNC_XPT/INB_HT_CALL_SYNC_XPT.ipo/proc?

Security Aspects Related to the DATEV-HR Solution

This scenario requires maximum levels of data security and sensitivity, because it exports personal data. The

DATEV-HR scenario generates employee data for DATEV eG using SAP Business One data. The integration

framework writes the data to a specified directory in the file system. Make sure that only authorized persons have

access to the folder.

Ensure that only authorized persons have access to the integration framework administration user interfaces.

Alternatively, collect confirmations from all users who have access that they are aware that this data is sensitive,

and that they may not distribute any data to third parties or make data accessible to non-authorized persons.

Security Aspects Related to the Mobile Solution

After the mobile user enters the correct user name and password, the front-end application passes the mobile phone number and mobile device ID (MAC address), together with the user name and password, to integration framework.

After receiving the information, the integration framework verifies the following:

Whether the user is enabled as a mobile user

Whether the necessary license is assigned to the user

Whether it can find the telephone number and device ID pair in the SAP Business One user administration

Whether the user name matches the telephone number and the device ID

Whether the user has been blocked by the SAP Business One system

Whether the provided password is correct

Then the user is allowed to access the system.

The password is encrypted while it is transmitted to the integration framework, which decrypts the password after receiving it.

Using HTTPS

To make communication safer, you have the option to use HTTPS for the sessions in the integration framework.

On the server side you can configure the communication protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). On the client side, you have the option to switch to the HTTPS protocol. By default, the solution runs with HTTPS, and the integration framework allows incoming calls through HTTPS only.

License Control

All mobile users have to be licensed before being allowed to access the SAP Business One system through the mobile channel. License administration is integrated with the SAP Business One user and license.

The mobile user also needs the assignment of the B1i license. Authorization within the SAP Business One application depends on the user’s SAP Business One application license

Hi,

Anyone share the information on procedures and formalities to become a Channel / Implementation partner of SAP Business One.

Thanks

For this you can use SQLCMD from the command line as shown below:

## running a proc to update a view eg ##
SQLCMD -S ServerSQL -d SBODemoUS -U sa -P sap123 -Q "EXEC Proc_Name"

## exporting a file as example ##

SQLCMD -S ServerSQL -d SBODemoUS -U sa -P sap123 -Q "SELECT * FROM OITM" -o C:\MyOutput.txt

## Generically you can use the following syntax ##

SQLCMD -SServerSQL -dSBODemoUS -Usa-Psap123 -Q“Your Query” -s“,” -o“C:\MyOutput.csv”

Now you can go to your file location and open the file and you will see that new csv file created there. When you open the csv file you will notice the results of the query.

You can use SQLCMD combined with the scheduled task

SQL Server database administrators frequently need in especially development and test environments to find and kill blocked process. Following scripts are useful in that scenario.

--Find All the Blocked Processes

SELECT

spid,

status,

loginame=SUBSTRING(loginame,1,12),

hostname=SUBSTRING(hostname,1, 12),

blk =CONVERT(char(3), blocked),

dbname=SUBSTRING(DB_NAME(dbid),1, 10),

cmd,

waittype

FROMmaster.dbo.sysprocesses

WHERE spid IN(SELECT blocked FROMmaster.dbo.sysprocesses)

--Kill all the Blocked Processes of a Database

DECLARE @DatabaseName nvarchar(50)

Set the Database Name

SET @DatabaseName =N'Datbase_Name'

Select the current Daatbase

SET @DatabaseName =DB_NAME()

DECLARE @SQL varchar(max)

SET @SQL =''

SELECT @SQL = @SQL +'Kill '+Convert(varchar, SPId)+';'

FROMMASTER..SysProcesses

WHEREDBId=DB_ID(@DatabaseName)AND SPId <>@@SPId

and spid IN(SELECT blocked FROMmaster.dbo.sysprocesses)

--You can see the kill Processes ID

--SELECT @SQL

--Kill the Processes

EXEC(@SQL)

Or You can use the following script

-- Script to kill all blocked processes

declare @max_count int, @count int, @sqlstring varchar(100)

declare @spid_table table (spid intNOTNULL)

INSERT @spid_table

select spid

frommaster.dbo.sysprocesses

where spid in(select blocked frommaster.dbo.sysprocesseswhere blocked <> 0)and blocked = 0

select @max_count =MAX(spid)FROM @spid_table

selecttop 1 @count = spid from @spid_table

while @count <= @max_count

begin

select @sqlstring ='kill '+CONVERT(varchar(4), @count)

exec(@sqlstring)

print @sqlstring

IF @count = @max_count

begin

break

end

ELSE

BEGIN

selecttop 1 @count = spid FROM @spid_table where spid > @count

end

Similarly DBA can kill all the Processes of a Database as

-- Kill all the Processes of a Database

DECLARE @DatabaseName nvarchar(50)

--Set the Database Name

SET @DatabaseName =N'Datbase_Name'

Select the current Daatbase

SET @DatabaseName =DB_NAME()

DECLARE @SQL varchar(max)

SET @SQL =''

SELECT @SQL = @SQL +'Kill '+Convert(varchar, SPId)+';'

FROMMASTER..SysProcesses

WHEREDBId=DB_ID(@DatabaseName)AND SPId <>@@SPId

--You can see the kill Processes ID

--SELECT @SQL

--Kill the Processes

EXEC(@SQL)

--Identify the blocking query

There can be many reasons for a slowdown in SQL Server. We use the following three key symptoms to start diagnosing problems:

· Resource bottlenecks:

a) CPU

b) Memory

c) I/O bottlenecks

+ network issues.

· tempdb bottlenecks:

what is a tempdb? The tempdb system database is a global resource that is available to all users connected to the instance of SQL Server.

Because there is only one tempdb for each SQL Server instance, it can be a performance and a disk space bottleneck. An application can overload tempdb through excessive DDL or DML operations and by taking too much space. This can cause unrelated applications running on the server to slow down or fail.

· A slow-running user query:

The performance of an existing query might regress, or a new query might appear to be taking longer than expected. There can be many reasons for this. For example:

__MCE_ITEM__· Changes in statistical information can lead to a poor query plan for an existing query.

__MCE_ITEM__· Missing indexes can force table scans and slow down the query.

__MCE_ITEM__· An application can slow down due to blocking even if resource utilization is normal.

__MCE_ITEM__· Excessive blocking can be due to poor application or schemadesign or the choice of an improper isolation level for the transaction.

The causes of these symptoms are not necessarily independent of each other. The poor choice of a query plan can tax system resources and cause an overall slowdown of the workload. So, if a large table is missing a useful index, or if the query optimizer decides not to use it, the query can slow down; these conditions also put heavy pressure on the I/O subsystem to read the unnecessary data pages and on the memory (buffer pool) to store these pages in the cache. Similarly, excessive recompilation of a frequently-run query can put pressure on the CPU.

Possible bottleneck area	Effects on the server
Memory usage	Insufficient memory allocated or available to Microsoft SQL Server degrades performance. Data must be read from the disk rather than directly from the data cache. Microsoft Windows operating systems perform excessive paging by swapping data to and from the disk as the pages are needed.
CPU utilization	A chronically high CPU utilization rate may indicate that Transact-SQL queries need to be tuned or that a CPU upgrade is needed.
Disk input/output (I/O)	Transact-SQL queries can be tuned to reduce unnecessary I/O; for example, by employing indexes.
User connections	Too many users may be accessing the server simultaneously causing performance degradation.
Blocking locks	Incorrectly designed applications can cause locks and hamper concurrency, thus causing longer response times and lower transaction throughput rates.

Enable sqlcmd mode in SQL Server Management Studio as described in following image.

Now in query editor type following SQL.

:SETVAR DatabaseName "SBOPRODIR"

:SETVAR SchemaName "dbo"

:SETVAR TableName "OITM"

USE $(DatabaseName);

SELECT * FROM $(SchemaName).$(TableName);

Note that I have set the value of the database, schema and table as a sqlcmd variable and I am executing the query using the same parameters.

SQLCMD is a relatively simple language to master and it also aids in doing various tasks easily.

Thanks

Kevin Shah

+254 786 569 085

Dear All,

I share my knowledge to " What's new in SAP Business One Version 9.0".

SAP has continued to invest in extending the core functionality of SAP Business One across a number of different business functions and has made available its first major release in the Release Family 9, SAP Business One version 9.0.

By introducing a centralized implementation framework and extending the current implementation tools, SAP Business One 9.0 makes SAP Business One easier to implement, and with improved integration, a number of SAP Business One extensions are now fully integrated into the core product offering.

SAP Business One 9.0 is easier to customize and extend, offering new development tools, the SAP Business One Studio Suite, including key technical infrastructure enhancements supporting better performance and security compliance.SAP Business One 9.0 enabling users to define, customize and execute workflows for key business processes, providing greater process flow transparency, standardization and control across SAP Business One.

Below you will find more in-depth descriptions of the updates and added functionality of SAP Business One Version 9.0:

SAP Business One 9.0 Accounting

SAP Business One 9.0 Advanced GL Account Determination

SAP Business One 9.0 provides a flexible and centralised system to manage inventory G/L account determination. With the advanced G/L determination rules, you can assign inventory G/L accounts by item groups, items, warehouses, business partner groups, ship-to countries, and various combinations of all the above criteria.

SAP Business One 9.0 Financials

Deferred Tax Enablement in Manual JE

SAP Business One 9.0 enables you to manage deferred tax in manual journal entries, journal vouchers, posting templates, and recurring postings

SAP Business One 9.0 Fixed Assets

SAP Business One 9.0 allows you to manage fixed assets using a fully integrated solution. In addition to the functions provided by the Fixed Asset Solution in SAP Business One 8.82, the fixed assets functionality implemented in SAP Business One 9.0 enables you to do many things that were out of reach with previous versions of SAP Business One.

In order for you to better manage your fixed assets in SAP Business One, SAP Business One 9.0 has also enhanced some functionality from the add-on, such as the use of the ‚ ‘Declining Balance‛‚ ‘Special Depreciation‛, and ‘Multilevel‛ depreciation methods, depreciation forecast, depreciation run, asset history sheet, and so on.

Internal Reconciliation in SAP Business One 9.0

The internal reconciliation functionality has been enhanced to support the following system currency aspects:

When performing internal reconciliation, conversion difference postings are automatically created
You can display system currency balances due, in various windows, and reports
The Conversion Differences report has been enhanced with an optimised calculation of the unrealised conversion difference

SAP Business One 9.0 Sales and Purchasing

Cancellation of Sales and Purchasing Documents

You can now cancel most sales and purchasing documents that normally trigger postings. Upon cancelling such a document, a corresponding cancelation document is created to reverse the associated accounting, tax, and inventory changes. The base documents belonging to the cancelled documents are reopened with balances due restored. You can now copy these base documents to new documents.

Adjusting Total Freight in Goods Receipt POs Based on A/P Reserve Invoices

SAP Business One 9.0 supports adjustment of the total freight when creating a goods receipt PO based on A/P reserve invoices under the following conditions:

The freight of the goods receipt PO does not exceed the unallocated freight of the base A/P reserve invoices
If you have allocated all open quantities of the base A/P reserve invoices to this goods receipt PO, you must allocate all the remaining freight of the reserve invoices to the goods receipt PO

Adjusting Item Cost in Non-Based A/R Return and A/R Credit Memo

The item cost in non-based A/R return and an A/R credit memo is determined by item cost at the time of the document creation. Starting from SAP Business One 9.0, the user can adjust the item cost in these documents. This enhancement applies only to items managed by Moving Average Price or FIFO methods.

SAP Business One 9.0 Banking

Payment, Cheque, and Deposit Cancellation Improvements

With SAP Business One 9.0, you are able to do the following:

Cancel incoming payments with deposited cheques
Cancel deposits partially

Bin Locations

Cancel deposited cheques
Cancel non-deposited cheques with automatic journal entries

Down Payment Request Reconciliation

SAP Business One 9.0 enables you to manually reconcile, fully or partially, a payment of down payment request with an invoice (regular invoice or reserve invoice, correction invoice is not supported).

SAP Business One 9.0 Inventory

Bin locations in SAP Business One 9.0 allows you to manage bin locations for your warehouses. You can enable the bin location function for individual warehouses.

Bin Location Related Documents

After you enable the bin location function for intended warehouses, you need to record bin locations in those warehouses for all receipts and issues of inventory, including the processing of the following documents or transactions:

Goods receipt PO, goods return, A/P invoice, A/P credit memo, delivery, return, A/R invoice, A/R invoice + payment, A/R credit memo
Goods receipt, goods issue, inventory transfer, inventory taking
Receipt from production, issue for production
Pick and Pack

During the receipt, issue, and transfer of goods, SAP Business One 9.0 lets you automate the process of allocating goods from and to bin locations. You also can perform the allocation manually.

Inventory in Bin Locations

To better manage the inventory in your bin locations, SAP Business One 9.0 enables you to do the following:

View the information of stored items, such as the item quantity, and number of items
Restrict the storage of your bin locations, for example, to a particular batch, item, or item group
Restrict the use of your bin locations, for example, to receiving or issuing goods only
Replenish the inventory in your bin locations if the inventory level falls below the minimum

Bin Location Management

To facilitate the management of bin locations, SAP Business One 9.0 supports the generation, update, and deletion of bin locations in batches.

Serials and Batches

SAP Business One 9.0 lets you maintain serials and batches in your bin locations. When you issue serials and batches from bin locations, you can decide whether you want to pick the items according to their bin locations, or their serial and batch information.SAP Business One 9.0 lets you maintain serials and batches in your bin locations. When you issue serials and batches from bin locations, you can decide whether you want to pick the items according to their bin locations, or their serial and batch information.

Receiving Bin Locations
SAP Business One 9.0 allows you to designate certain bin locations as receiving bin locations. When you receive goods, these goods can first be automatically placed in receiving bin locations.

Reports

You can get an overview of all bin locations, and check the inventory statuses and movements in bin locations using the following reports:

Bin Location List
Bin Location Content List
Inventory Posting List

Multiple Unit of Measurement (UoM) in SAP Business One 9.0

SAP Business One 9.0 provides a high degree of flexibility to your management of products in multiple units of measurement (UoM). The Multiple UoM feature enables you to sell, purchase, receive and ship products in any UoM that your business needs, and to define default UoMs for various types of transactions. All sales and purchasing documents support items with multi-UoM definitions.The highlights of this new feature are as follows:

Unlimited global and product-specific UoMs
Setup of UoM groups with conversion rules between base UoMs and alternative UoMs within the groups
These UoM groups are used in item master data, marketing documents, and inventory documents
Default sales UoMs, purchasing UoMs, inventory UoMs, and automatic conversion to other applicable UoMs in transaction processing
Related enhancement of packaging, bar code and pricing functions:
- Package settings for multiple UoMs are incorporated into item master data and are used in sales documents to recommend the number of packages
- For an item using multiple UoMs, you can define multiple bar codes and different prices for each of its UoMs

Note that production transactions are processed in a single inventory UoM.

Price List and Discount Enhancements

In SAP Business One 9.0, the price list and the discount-groups functionality has been enhanced to improve efficiency and to support specific business processes. Using the enhanced price list function you can now do the following:

Assign a price list to a business partner group
Define multiple currency prices in a specific price list or in a special prices list
Define prices and special prices for different units of measurement, of a specific item
Define price lists as active or inactive

In addition, you can now decide whether to remove un-priced items from the database in order to reduce the database size and impact on performance when running applications on the database.Using the enhanced discount groups function you can now do the following:

Define discount groups for all business partners, for customer groups or for vendor groups
Define discounts for specific items
Define variable discounts based on quantity bought
Define discount groups as active or inactive
Define discountable control for a business partner and for an item
Allocate multiple discounts

You can get an overview of all prices and discounts using the following reports:

Price report
Discount report

These reports are also available from within marketing documents, enabling the user to track the source price and discount of each item during document creation.

Serial and Batch Items in Drop Ship Warehouses

SAP Business One 9.0 now lets you manage serial and batch items in drop ship warehouses. After you enable the serial and batch management for your drop ship warehouses, you can do the following:

Allocate serial and batch items in drop ship warehouses to newly created documents. The documents include the following:
- Sales order, delivery, return, A/R invoice, A/R invoice + payment, A/R credit memo, A/R Debit Memo, A/R reserve invoice
- Goods receipt PO, goods return, A/P invoice , A/P credit memo, A/P Debit Memo
Maintain the serial and batch information for items in drop ship warehouses using Serial Number Management and Batch Management
View the transactions of the serial and batch items in drop ship warehouses using Serial Number Transactions Report and Batch Number Transactions Report

In addition, if your serial items in drop ship warehouses are delivered, SAP Business One can create customer equipment cardsautomatic
ally for these items in the same way as for the items in non-drop ship warehouses.

Inventory Tracking

SAP Business One 9.0 provides new capabilities for running a complete inventory taking process. It starts with cycle counting alerts and continues with well-structured tasks and innovated reporting.Major enhancements include the following:

Providing documents to record and manage inventory counting and inventory posting
Freezing items during inventory counting
Recording counting results and variance by two different inventory takers
Improving the cycle count function to enable continuation of counting process from cycle count alerts and recommendations
Counting the exact serial numbers and batches
Supporting inventory taking for bin locations
Providing inventory-taking reports to consolidate and analyse existing inventory counting and inventory posting documents
Providing an Inventory Counting Recommendation dashboard report
Providing documents to record and manage inventory opening balances
Counting by unit of measurement

How to schedule the jobs

Introduction

There is a need to schedule a backup using cron. Cron is driven by a crontab (cron table) file, a configuration file that specifies shell commands to run periodically on a given schedule. The SAP note 1651055 (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1651055) provides a backup script and PDF that explains how to use the script.

The backup.sh file provided by the script will execute a backup, it will also show you a list of log files that can be deleted because they are included in a backup. The script does not delete the log files. This blog post will show you how to configure the script, how to execute the script and provide 2 additional scripts that can be used to clean up old log files.

Everything shown below can be watched on a recording available from https://sap.na.pgiconnect.com/p93414224/

Script Prerequisites

Before the script can be executed you need to use hdbuserstore to create a user store key that will be used to logon to the SAP HANA DB. The hdbuserstore file is install with the HANA client files. You execute the program as ndbadm.

The syntax of the command looks like

/usr/sap/hdbclient/hdbuserstore SET <KEY> <ENVIRONMENT> <USER> <PASSWORD>

Where:

- <KEY> is the identifier for the entry; can be freely chosen

- <ENVIRONMENT> defines the SAP HANA Database system in the form <hostname>:<port> where <port> is the SQL port of the indexserver process, i.e. 3<instance>15, <instance> being the two-digit instance number of the SAP HANA Database

- <USER> is the name of a SAP HANA Database user

- <PASSWORD> is that user’s password in SAP HANA Database

It looks like:

After the user store key is created, you can verify it exists using hdbuserstore list.

We are ready to configure the script.

Script Configuration

Download the script to your HANA Linux server. I recommend keeping it in /usr/sap/NDB/home/scripts. You will have to use the mkdir command to create the scripts directory. I recommend keeping it here because it is central location with a clear naming providing information about the files contained within.

After you have the script uploaded to the SAP HANA server you need to set proper permissions. This is done with the chmod command. You also need to make sure it is owned by ndbadm and a member of the sapsys group, this is done with the chown command.

chmod 754 backup.sh

chown ndbadm:sapsys backup.sh

The script can now be executed, but execution will fail because we have not added our user key store to the script. We add the user key to the script using the vi command. In side the script we press the forward slash '/' to execute a search. In the search box we enter USE_HDBUSERSTORE and press enter to execute the search.

The first occurance of the term will be in the comments. We need to change the value of USE_HDBUSERSTORE to TRUE

A few lines below we need to change USERSTORE_KEY to value of the key we created in the prerequisite section. The example user store key name is DUNCAN. Save you changes and exit vi.

Executing a backup

On the command line enter backup.sh. The script will start after a built in delay as elapsed.

Verify the backup

It is possible you might see errors when the backup completes, like those shown below, and you want to verify it was successful.

The backup is verified using backup.sh -ld.

This shows that the backup was successful and I can ignore the generated errors.

Backup log file cleanup

In order to get a list of logfiles that can be deleted post backup you execute backup.sh -ll --backup-id=<backup ID>.

We would use backup.sh -ll --backup-id=1374691689165 to get a list of logs that can be deleted post backup.

*|more is used here to prevent the output from overflowing the screen. You do not need it and I will show a script that can be used to automatically cleanup these files,

Now, we have successfully execute a backup and seen the list of files that can be removed, how can this be automated? I would propose the creation of 2 scripts, one is scheduled in cron the other is called by the scheduled script. The scripts are GetLastBackup.sh and LogCleanUp.pl.

GetLastBackup.sh:

This is an sh shell script that uses a regular expression to get the last backup ID. The last backup ID is used as a parameter for backup.sh -ll which redirects output to a file named "logsToDelete.txt". The logsToDelete.txt file is used as an input parameter for LogClean.pl which deletes all listed files.

LogCleanUp.pl:

This is a simple Perl script that takes 1 command line argument, the name of the file containing the list of files to delete. If no argument is provided it defaults to logsToDelete.txt. It applies a few regular expressions to each line of the file and executes a delete. The output looks like:

*More is shown because the script was executed with |more so output could be captured you will not see it when you run the scripts

After the first run of these scripts it is common to see rm: cannot remover file this occurs because the list of log files no longer required is not updated post delete. The space is freed. The backup runs as expected but the references are left.

The Perl script's last output is how many files were remove.

How to schedule the jobs

In Linux we use cron to schedule jobs. We edit the cron using the command crontab -e. This command execute vi on the cron table. Note Linux only supports editing the crontab using crontab -e manually editing the table will not work.

*Note --retention=8 sets the retention time period for the backup. It is not required. The sample shown above is from an internal sandbox system and few backups are required

The numbers before the path to the script provide the frequency and time the job should run. The graphic below shows what each position means.

After adding the jobs to the crontab you can verify the settings using crontab -l
