How to use the DTW's ODBC feature
The DTW's ODBC is a great alternative to import data into SAP Business One. Sometimes it is difficult and time consuming to convert the data you get from your client into a format suitable for DTW's excel templates. The ODBC allows you to store your client's data in a database table and then you can use ODBC to fill the relevant SAP Business One tables without the need to use the templates.

Simple Sample Blog - UI API Matrix SerializeAsXML Method
Add-ons often need to read data from matrixes on the SAP Business One forms. In previous versions (6.5, 2004 & 2005) reading values from system matrixes could be done cell by cell in the GUI level or by reading from DataSource objects. This is Slow!, And can result with performance issues. The SerializeAsXML function returns an xml string containing all the matrix data. It saves time and improves the performance dramatically. This blog demonstrates how to use the SerializeAsXML method. Miki Zilbershtein in Beginner, SAP Business One [Aug. 04, 2009 04:58 AM | 0 Comments | Permalink]

Recall that in the first post we reviewed the history of bank statement processing solutions in different Business One versions and the advantage of introducing a mapping tool to cover the flexibility and diversity of variant bank formats in the world. In this and next post, we will take a closer look at the file importing solution by a case study of an imaginary bank statement format, which is invented purely for the case study and contains all the necessary fields in real plain-text bank statements but simple enough for demonstration. Especially in this post, we focus on describing the format structure in the tool. In the next post, we go on to demonstrate how the mapping from bank statement to Business One object is done.
