Q20) What are the different types of data sources?

Ans: The following are the different types of data sources -

• Data Tables
• DB Data Sources
• User DataSources

Q21) What are the functions of the Data Interface API (DI API)?

Ans: Following are the functions of the Data Interface API (DI API) -

• DI API provides objects and methods i.e. add, update, Remove, for performing various data-level operations. This can be done without installing the SAP Business One client.
• DI API provides access to business objects i.e. master data and transnational data.
• DI API can be used in COM-capable development tools (e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio). Dll SAPbobsCOM.dll is provided by SAP. Just by adding the reference of this dll, you can perform data-level operations.

Q22) What are the different types of transactions supported by DI API?

Ans: Following are the different types of transactions supported by DI API

• Single Transaction
• Global Transaction

Q23) What is a Bubble Event?

Ans: Bubble Event specifies whether the event will be processed by SAP Business One or not.If Bubble Event=True, then SAP Business One will process the event else the execution will terminate.

For eg,

If pVal.EventType = BoEventTypes.et_CLICK And pVal.Action_Success = True And pVal.FormUID = "F_32" And pVal.ItemUID = "btnSave" Then

BubbleEvent=False

End If

In the above code, the click event of the save button is handled. When the user clicks on the save button, then first the above code will execute and then it will be handled by SAP Business One. Here I have set BubbleEvent=False.So the click event will terminate and SAP Business One will not handle the event.

Q24) What is DBDataSource?

Ans: DBDataSource is used for storing data from the database.DBDataSource is linked to a database table and it represents tabular data.DBDataSource is used by all system forms. You can get DBDataSource as follows -

Here I have assumed that I have opened the form of Sales Order and I want to get the database details of the sales order. The table's name is ORDER.

Dim objDS As SAPbouiCOM.DBDataSource

objDS = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("ORDR")

Ans: Textbox can be binded to datasource as follow 

• Dim objForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
• Dim txtDocEntry As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
• objForm = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
• objForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("DocEntry", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_LONG_NUMBER)
• txtDocEntry = objForm.Items.Item("txtDocEntry").Specific
• txtDocEntry.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "DocEntry")
• In the above code,I have considered the textbox txtDocEntry.I want this textbox to accept numeric input only.So I have binded it with dt_LONG_NUMBER as shown above.

Q26) What are the limitations of the DI server?

Ans: Following are the limitations of DI server 

1. Metadata operations not supported.
2. Different support for transaction handling than plain DI API.

Q28) What are the different parts of DI API?

Ans: Following are the different parts of DI API 

• COM Interface - The COM Interface provides the interface to the add-on application.
• DI Core - The DI Core, which is the main component of the DI API, performs all the data logic operations.
• Data Manager - The Data Manager stores temporary object data, converts object data to internal data formats, retrieves data from the database, and controls the database transactions.
• Schema Generator - The Schema Generator creates XML schemas based on object interface descriptions. The schema generator also creates object validation lists.

Q29) Where does DI server execute i.e. client or server?

Ans: DI server executes on the server.

Q30) For performing heavy-duty operations what is a suitable DI API or DI server?

Ans: For performing heavy-duty operation DI server is suitable. The DI Server implements a connection pooling mechanism to enhance the performance and scalability of the server. As DI Server is a SOAP-based interface it does not limit the client to a COM interface but allows a wide range of possible client technologies.

Q31) What is the value returned when any method of a DI API object executes successfully?

Ans: 0 is returned when any method of a DI API object executes successfully.

Q32) Which table saves the details of the country?
