To launch the Administration Console in a Microsoft Windows environment, choose 
Start → All Programs → Intercompany Administration Console → Intercompany Administration Console
Alternatively, enter the following URL in the web browser address bar: 
http://<ServerAddress>:XXXX/B1iXcellerator/exec/dummy/com.sap.b1ip.system.cc/bfd/AdminConsole.bfd?!defdoc=/com.cxs.b1i.ipo/xml/CC.intercompany.xml
Where:
<ServerAddress>: The address of the integration server for SAP Business One where the integration solutions Installer is installed.
XXXX = The port number assigned to the integration server for SAP Business One. The default port assigned to the integration server for SAP Business One is 8080


Note
Do not enter the IP address (127.0.0.1) or localhost as the <ServerAddress>.  
The URL is case sensitive. Ensure that the capitalization of the URL matches the example above.
For security reasons, you can use HTTPS for the session. On the server side, the communication protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) can be configured. On the client side, the user has the option to switch to the HTTPS protocol.


Recommendation
It’s recommended to use HTTPS.
To use the HTTPS protocol, you must first configure the communication protocol on the server side. See the SAP Business One Administrator's Guide on SAP Help Portal.
At this time, the use of HTTPS is intended only for plain transport-level security purposes.
To use the HTTPS protocol for the Administration Console application, enter the following URL in the web browser address bar and press the enter key on the keyboard.
https://<ServerAddress>:XXXX/B1iXcellerator/exec/dummy/com.sap.b1ip.system.cc/bfd/AdminConsole.bfd?!defdoc=/com.cxs.b1i.ipo/xml/CC.intercompany.xml
Where:
<ServerAddress> = address of the integration server for SAP Business One on which you installed the Integration Solutions Installer. 

Caution
Do not enter the IP address or localhost as the <ServerAddress>.
XXXX with the HTTPS port number assigned to the integration server. The default port assigned to the integration server is 8443.


Note
The system generates a self-signed certificate during the installation of the integration components for SAP Business One. When using the HTTPS protocol for the first time, the web browser will display a security warning. SAP recommends allowing the browser to accept this certificate to prevent such warnings in the future.
Alternatively, you can purchase certificates issued by a well-known certification authority.

1. Logon to the Administration Console
  1. In the B1i Administrative Logon window, enter the user ID and password for an active B1i user and choose the Logon button. 
  2. The default B1i user is B1iadmin.
  3. The user ID and password are case sensitive.
2. Administration Console Application
After successful logon, you will be able to access the Administration Console application.
Before proceeding with the Intercompany setup, ensure that a system landscape directory (SLD) entry exists in B1if for each SAP Business One company database which you would like to register in the intercompany solution and test the connection (B1DI, JDBC and B1SL) to all databases. To replicate the master data using Service Layer, you must configure the B1SL in the SLD and test the connection. See the SAP Business One Administrator's Guide on SAP Help Portal.    
  1. Locate the cursor on a field and a tooltip will appear displaying information about that item.
  1. The SAP Business One system automatically creates an SLD entry for each SAP Business One company database running on a local instance of the SAP Business One server. To set up the intercompany integration solution to include company databases on remote SAP Business One servers, you must manually register the remote company databases in the B1if SLD registration page (that is, the instances of the integration component running the Integration Solutions Installer).
  1. Before proceeding with the intercompany integration solution setup, ensure that you have installed the integration solutions add-on in each SAP Business One company database which you would like to include in the intercompany integration solution.

Recommendation
      
      SAP strongly recommends 
  1. Using multiple DI proxy groups for better performance while replicating data across multiple SAP Business One companies. 
  1. Configuring separate DI Proxy for each level of Consolidation Company for optimal performance during consolidation process.
Refer to SAP Note 1975033 for installation and configuration details and to chapter Optimizing Performance and Using DI Proxy Groups in this document.
