how to recomplie executable sapb1 addon without source code

[former_member208568]

Hi All,

My files are a bunch of DI API dll, UI API dll, and the executable files. My client does not have the source code for the addon again.

We are upgrading the SAP B1 8.8 to 9.2 and the client wants to continuing running this addon on 9.2.

I have located the addon ard, registered it on the new system, but it is failing. I guess it is because the DI & UI API of the old system are not compatible with the upgraded system.

Now, I have replaced the old DI & UI API with the API from the 9.2 but still it is not working.

Please what can I do in this case.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Olumide,

Did you try to contact the addon vendor? If this is not possible, you can try to reverse the files to source files. In this case, I hope your vendor did not encrypted the files that it has distributed.

Read about reverse engineering.I suggest you this tool : https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/

But exist others that do the same work.

Hope it helps.

Kind Regards,

Hi Diego,

Thanks for your reply. The client cannot access the Vendor again.

I will try your suggestion, but isn't there another way?

Thanks

Hi Olumide,

Unfortunately I only have this suggestion. Maybe someone else in this topic have another approach.
