Creating an SAP Business One Application

This section uses an example template to describe how to quickly create the SAP Business One application.

Select Template

Before creating the SAP Business One application, you need to select the template on the enterprise project management service.

Log in to the management console. In the upper right corner, choose Enterprise > Project Management.

The Enterprise Project Management page is displayed.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Application Management > Template Management.

Click the Example templates tab, locate the row that contains the target SAP Business One template, and click Create Application.

An application is a collection of resources, which may include multiple cloud servers, networks, and EVS disks.

**Table 1** Basic information

After the template is uploaded to the Enterprise Management service, you need to specify related parameters to create the application. Parameters, including AZ, VPC and its subnet, security group, key pair, and IAM agency name, must be the same as those of the existing SAP HANA system (single-node deployment). Obtain the required information in advance. On the Configure Parameter page, specify the required parameters. For details about the required application parameters, see Table 2.

Click Next, confirm the application information, and click Submit.
The application management page is displayed. If the application Status is Creation succeeded, the SAP Business One application is created successfully.

If the application Status is Failed to create, delete the application by referring to How Do I Delete an Application? and create one again.

Modifying the Configuration File

Modify the configuration file on the server where SAP Business One is deployed. For details, see What Should I Do If a SAP Application on an ECS Cannot Be Started?.

Checking the Deployment Status

After the ECS is created, deploy SAP Business One on the ECS. You can log in to the SAP Business One ECS to view the deployment status.

Use PuTTY to log in to the SAP Business One ECS. Ensure that user root and the private key file (a .ppk file) are used for authentication.
Run the following command on the CLI to view the installation log:

tailf /var/log/huawei/auto-install/b1-install.log
If successful is displayed in the installation log, the software deployment is complete. The following is an example of the log content indicating that the installation is successful:
```
successful
[2019-02-26 17:50:29] [INFO ] [b1-install.sh 531] END SAP B1 Version for HANA Installation
[2019-02-26 17:50:29] [INFO ] [b1-install.sh 563] ******************End install b1********************
[2019-02-26 17:50:29] [INFO ] [b1-install.sh 565] ******************begin prepare hana windows client********************
[2019-02-26 17:50:29] [INFO ] [b1-install.sh 567] ******************end prepare hana windows client********************
```
The software deployment duration varies according to the software versions and resource configuration. Deploying SAP Business One requires about one hour, and SAP Business One Client, several minutes.
