SAP® Business One Extensions Path for Container Management (Web Client) Data Logging

Third Wave SAP® Business One add-ons have been updated with a new application data logging mechanism. It will no longer place files in the users local MY DOCUMENTS directory. The application will now use the SAP® Business One defined Extensions file path.

The specified Extensions Folder path should be a network location directory that is accessible to all SAP® B1 users starting the application.

Launch the General Settings screen by selecting the General Settings menu option under the Administration System Initialization menu groups.

Click the Path tab along the top of the form .

Verify that a directory that is accessible to all SAP® B1 users starting the application is specified on the Extensions Folder line.

If you wish to change the Extensions Folder location, please be sure that all users are logged out of all TWBS add-on applications before the new directory is selected.

Licensing Container Management (Web Client)

Third Wave Business System SAP® Business One add-ons have been updated with an automatic licensing procedure. In order to obtain a permanent license key, the production environment SAP® Business One installation number must first be provided to TWBS Support so that the information can be entered into our systems. The SAP® Business One installation number is a critical component to the new TWBS application license keys. Without this information you will only be able to obtain a 30-day application trial license.

On start up, the application client will verify that a valid license exists for the application having been purchased based on your SAP® Business One installation number. If the license is verified, the application will start. If the application has not been purchased, a 30-day trial license will be issued to allow for limited use of the application. If your trial license has expired and you would like to purchase the application to obtain a full license key, please contact Third Wave Business Systems @ (201) 703-2100.

Container Management (Web Client) - Database Object Creation

Click the Recreate APP SQL Objects button to initiate the SAP® B1 company database object creation.
The user will be notified once the process is complete.
Click the Create APP Objects button to initiate the SAP® B1 company database object creation.

This process will initiate a prompt by SAP® Business One that new database objects have been created and they will need to close open windows.

Once the process is complete and successful, and the form is reloaded, the indicators next to the Recreate APP SQL Objects and Recreate APP SQL Objects buttons will display .
