B1 DI Server

[Former Member]

Good Day Mentors,

I'm a newbie with regards to using the DI Server.

I've read the basic documentation from the SDK help file, and I want to confirm that what I understood is correct.

I know that the DI Services can do all CRUD operations.

Does DI Services have the ability to do actual conversion? (e.g. convert a Sales Order to an A/R Invoice via SOAP call)

If yes, can someone please give a summary on how to do it? I can't seem to find the information from the documentation.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sean,

DI server is a server for data interface to maintain your B1 database. You need SDK to use it. There is no simple answer for your question.

Happy new year to you too. Do you plan to try SDK?

Hi Gordon,

I'll try to pick up SDK via DI API as well.

But from my boss' instruction/strategy, it seems to me he's actually targeting data integration issues for this year. So my current focus is understanding how the DI Server works. Especially the limitations.

Thanks!

Hi,

Please refer SAP note 890591 - How does the DI Server license work

You may know some limitation of DI server.

In the short time frame, it is hard for you to use any features on DI Server. After all, this is only a DI API wrapper. There is nothing you can do without SDK.
