Prepare SAP Environment

A Sana web store connects to SAP Business One through the Web service implemented by Sana. The Sana Web service for SAP Business One is hosted in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and must be installed on the same machine where the DI Server components are installed. The Sana Web service uses the DI Server to communicate with SAP Business One.

Sana delivers the installer to install and configure the Sana Web service for SAP Business One.

Prerequisites

• The Sana Web service for SAP Business One. Only registered Sana partners can download it from the Sana Community web site. If you are a customer, please contact your Sana partner or Sana project manager.
• Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager 7.5 or higher.
• .NET Framework 4.5 or higher.
• Windows Authentication role service must be installed on the server.
• HTTP Activation component must be installed on the server.
  Open the Server Manager and "Add Roles and Features Wizard". Go through the wizard until you reach the "Features" screen. Expand the item ".NET Framework 4.5 Features" and the subitem "WCF Services". If the option "HTTP Activation" is not listed as installed, select it and then install.
• Create local or domain user account which will be used to authorize the Sana Web service.
• It is required to secure data transfer between the Sana web store and SAP Business One. Thus, you must obtain the SSL certificate for the Web service domain. SSL certificate is issued by a certificate authority (CA), which takes steps to verify that your web address actually belongs to your organization. The server where you install the Sana Web service for SAP Business One must support TLS 1.2.

Install Sana Web Service for SAP Business One

Step 1: Run "Web Service Installer.exe" on the server where the SAP Business One DI Server components are installed. You can find the Sana Web Service Installer in the "Connector" folder of the Sana add-on package for SAP Business One.

Step 2: Go to the "Installation/Upgrade" step. Fill in the fields and set up the necessary settings.

Field	Description
Connection Type (Beta/Live)	Select the connection type, Beta or Live. When you select the connection type, the fields "Site Name" and "Application Pool" will be automatically prefilled with the default name, but you can change it.
Site Name and Application Pool	Enter the web site name which will be used in the IIS Manager for the Sana Web service. The name of the application pool is automatically predefined with the web site name.     In the "Site Name" field you can see all web sites that are available in the IIS Manager on the server. If the Sana Web service for SAP Business One is already installed and you need to upgrade it to the latest version, you can also use the installer. You can select the existing web site which hosts the Sana Web service for SAP Business One and upgrade it. If you need to upgrade the Sana Web service, at first create the backup of your existing Web service.
Physical Path	Select the location where the Sana Web service must be installed. This is the path where the Sana Web service content will be stored. By default, the Sana Web service is installed to this folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Port	Enter the port on which the Sana Web service for SAP Business One must run. The requests to the Sana Web service are made through this port.
Host Name (Optional)	Enter the host name, if you want to access the Sana Web service for SAP Business One by the domain name. The host name is not required. If you leave this field empty, you will be able to access the Sana Web service by the server IP address.
SSL Certificate	Add the SSL certificate and enter the password, if it is password-protected. By encrypting your Sana Web service for SAP Business One using SSL, you make your data and the network more secure and more reliable. The Sana Web service will run over HTTPS.     If you don't have the SSL certificate yet, you can install the Sana Web service without it, and secure it with SSL manually once you obtain the security certificate. For more information, see "Set up Web Service to Use SSL".
Authentication method	For security reasons, only Windows Authentication can be used to gain access to the Sana Web service for SAP Business One.

Step 3: Click "Install".

The Sana Installer will create the web site and application pool for the Web service in the IIS Manager, extract the Web service files to the installation folder, and set up the Web service authentication. If you have added the SSL certificate, it will also set up the Sana Web service to use SSL.

Step 4: When the Sana Web service is installed, click "Next". On the "Configuration" step, fill in the fields and set up the necessary settings to configure the Sana Web service.

Step 5: Click "Save and Test Connection". If the Sana Web service has been successfully configured and connected to the DI Server, click "Finish".
When the Sana Web service for SAP Business One is installed, it will automatically open in the default Web browser. If you can see the Web service information page, then the Sana Web service has been installed successfully.

Step 6: Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Right-click on the web site of the Sana Web service and select "Edit Permissions".

Step 7: On the "Security" tab, add the user which must be used to authorize the Sana Web service. See prerequisites at the top of the page. This user must have "Read & execute" permissions.

 NOTE

When the Sana Web service is installed, you will need to enter the URL of the Web service and user credentials on the "ERP connection" page in Sana Admin to establish connection between Sana and SAP Business One. If you don't have access to Sana Admin, send the Sana Web service URL and user credentials to the person who is responsible for the Sana web store maintenance. For more information, see "ERP Connection".

When the Sana add-on is installed inside SAP Business One, you can reconfigure the Sana Web service at any time, if there is a necessity. For more information, see "Configure Sana Web Service".
