Core Connection Parameters
Before an application can connect to SAP Business One, it must populate the required properties of the DI API Company object.
- Application server or SAP Business One server name.
- Company database identifier.
- Database server type.
- Authorized SAP Business One username.
- User password and authentication details.
- License server configuration.
- Database authentication settings when applicable.
Once these parameters are validated successfully, the DI API establishes an authenticated session that permits authorized business operations according to the user's assigned permissions.
