How to create 64-bit version addon in SAP Business One

[former_member416544]

Hi Experts,

Recently my client was update SAP Business one to 64-bit version, Now, I want to create 64-bit of addon's.
Could you please someone suggest me, what steps need to follow to create 64-bit of addon.

Presently I followed the steps are

1. Created the Standard addon project using SDK(Build & Release with x64 platform)

2. Created the Add on-Installer project using SAP B1AddonInstaller.Net Wizard(Build & Release with x64 platform)

3. generate the .ard file using the AddOnRegDataGen.exe

here I have question

Q1. what should I give to Add-on executable full path?

Q2. what should I give to installer executable full path?

Q3. what should I give to uninstaller executable full path?

If I'm missing please suggest me to overcome this issue.

Hi Chenna,

That's an issue with the Addon itself, not the Installer.

Not sure if this is the cause: https://support.boyum-it.com/hc/en-us/articles/218522168

Hi Chenna,

Lightweight is just the way you deploy the add-on. It just replaces the need to create an add-on installer.

Going back to your step list above:

1. Created the Standard addon project using SDK(Build & Release with x64 platform)

2. Create Lightweight deployment package.

There is no step 3 🙂

Give it a try, you'll thank me later.

Regards,

VV

Hi VV,

I followed the steps as you suggested in previous replay.

But, here I'm facing one issue, while I start my addon in Add-on Manager, system shows error message

Failed connecting to the company's Data Base [-4009 - Failed to connect SLD, make sure (PFA).

could please suggest me, what is the cause?

Thanks,

Hi Chenna,

I strongly recommend you use the new method to deploy add-ons - LightWeight Deployement.

Makes it soooo much easier!

Hope this helps,
