Hello experts,
I installed SAPB1 version 9.0 to a Hyper-V Windows 2008 R2 server with an MS SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise DB. It is a standalone system.
I did not import a proper customer software license file since I am doing this installation on my test machine.
First, I performed the Crystal Reports 2011 for SAP B1 install -- successfully.
Then, I installed SAPB1 Server Tools -- successfully. I started the License Server with the default port 30000 and set this service to start automatically with the OS.
After that, I proceeded with installing SAPB1 Server and I chose to install the English Demo Database.
The installation of the SAPB1 server went fine, except during the installation of the Demo Database it gave me an error pop-up message
"Could not create database". I verified on the SQL server that the installation program actually created the Demo databases despite the error
message.
This error did not stop the installation process and the installation finished successfully with Remote Support Platform install.
I then installed the MS Outlook Integration components and the Client Tools with no issues.
The problem is though, when I connect to the SAPB1 server via the Client Tool and open/log in to the Demo database I cannot do anything.
Any action on the client tool gives me error messages in the system log like the ones below:
I verify that the License Server is running and it has the proper parameters set as localhost or machine name or IP address with port 30000 like below:
I also verified the SLD and made sure that SQL Authentication is type is chosen for connections and the “sa” user is used for database
access:
The interesting thing is that when I create a new company and log on to the new company I created --- I get none of those license warning
messages and I can do whatever I want (except that the Trial License for a new company is good for 31 days).
The problem seems to be contained with the Demo database. However, for training purposes I need the Demo database to be working properly.
I also tried deleting the Demo database and restoring it from the fresh copy I downloaded from the Partner Edge portal -- the same issue persists.
However, in the Windows System Event Log - I found some entries such as the following:
