Move Quickbooks Online Company to the Development Site - quickbooks

Anyone know how to move a live Quickbooks Online company to the Test site?
I think the address for the test site is:
https://qbo.idnbeta.quickbooks.com/

So it seems that there is no way to effectivly do this. One has to download the CSV backup from their production QBOE system and import it to a 'local' desktop installation of QB, then import THAT company when creating the idnBeta QuickBooks Online Edition company.
Bah.

How to deploy apps with Microsoft Graph support

basically I want to deploy a NET.Core application where Calendar data will be read from an Exchange server account.
So the user has to fill out his login data and that it.
This works fine with Exchange.Webservices in Windows, but Exchange.Webservices are not working in Linux due the .NETFramework dependency.
I also tried the "Sherlock Exchange.WebservicesStandard" package which is also not working.
Microsoft Graph is a product I don't understand.
Is is correct, that every user needs to have an Azure Account and his own APPID?
If that is correct, this product seems to be a little bit useless in my opinion.
Any ideas?
Best regards!
As a developer, you will need an appid for your application which you will get from https://portal.azure.com/. Users of your application will not need any of this.
Please see this link with Quick Starts to help you with development using Microsoft Graph https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/quick-start

Can We Access Multiple Company files through Web Connector?

I have multiple Quick Books Company files and I want to access those company files at same time with the help of QB Web connector.
Can I achieve this? If yes how?
Can I achieve this?
At the exact same time? No.
At close to the same time? Yes. QuickBooks only allows you to connect to a single QuickBooks company file at a time. However, the Web Connector is perfectly happy to connect to the first company, exchange data, close that company, and then connect to the second company and follow the same process. Just specify the company file paths in the response to authenticate from the Web Connector.

How should I import data into QuickBooks from my Rails application?

I'm working on a Rails project that needs to be able to import/export (mostly import) invoice data to/from QuickBooks. In Googling, the QuickBooks SDK and Web Connector come up often. However, both seem to only be for the Windows desktop versions. This QuickBooks instance is on a Mac.
The import can either be via an API or, if possible, a file could be generated from within the web app that could later be imported manually.
Currently, QuickBooks 2009 is what's being used. However, assume we can use nearly any version of QuickBooks. Online or desktop (Mac).
What would the best route be to get invoice data to/from the Rails application to QuickBooks?
Unfortunately, QuickBooks for Mac does not support any real method of integration. It's definitely the "black sheep" of the Intuit family.
The closest you can get is IIF file imports/exports.
There is detailed information on this (deprecated, and very limited) file format over here:
http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/articles/HOW12778
You would be so, so, sooo much better off moving off of QuickBooks for Mac through, as the APIs for both QuickBooks for Windows (Web Connector/SDK/COM) and QuickBooks Online (REST v3 APIs) are much, much better than IIF imports/exports.

Quickbooks PHP SDK Integration

Can anyone Plese help me regarding the Quickbook API integration
I have downloaded SDK from
https://majorapi.com/developers/quickbooks/sdk/php
I have installed it and configured the keys.
I've got some db tables when executing the Quickbook.php file.
I'm stuck there, can anyone please help me further.
If you're building a SaaS app (allowing other people to connect their QuickBooks companies to your app):
If you're building for QuickBooks ONLINE:
Instead of using that lib, use the QuickBooks PHP DevKit that's available on GitHub. It's open-source and well supported, and works fine with OAuth and v3.
You can follow the QuickBooks PHP IPP v3 Quick-Start Guide to get started. You'll go through a similar process to what you went through above, where you'll find in your own OAuth token/secret and app token in the configuration, and then you'll be able to connect to QuickBooks.
From there, you'll find several example scripts:
https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php/blob/master/docs/example_app_ipp_v3/
If you're building something else (something internal or for use only by a single company):
If you're building for QuickBooks for WINDOWS:
Here is a PHP QuickBooks Library which does exactly what you want to do.
You should follow the QuickBooks PHP Web Connector quick-start guide to get started. You'll want to architect your application so that your PHP script can receive the data, store it temporarily in a database (MySQL, etc.) and then the Web Connector can pick up the data destined for QuickBooks from there.
The Web Connector is a little different than a standard web service in that it works in a sort of backwards manner - the Web Connector will call out to your PHP web service vs. you calling out to it.
There's a overview of how the Web Connector works over here.
You should refer to these scripts (as the quick-start guide does above):

How to connect to Quickbooks premier desktop edition through qbxmlrp using java?

I have installed a quickbooks premier 2014 desktop edition in my system and wants to integrate it using QBXML Request processor API(QBXMLRP2) through java application.
I have gone through the QBXML SDK Documentation but didn't find a proper way on integration with java.
I found this from the documentation :
1.Open a connection to QuickBooks.
2.Start a session for working on a specific QuickBooks company file.
3.Send whatever requests you want to do something in QuickBooks.
4.When you’re done or before your application exits, end the session.
5.Then close the connection.
It will be greatly appreciated if some one could provide me some sample code to integrate with Quickbooks.
And also how to configure QBXMLRP2Lib files in my java application?.
Thanks in advance.
There is a product called QuickBooks Web Connector that allows your app to use QBXML through a web service. Intuit has created a sample java application that communicates with web connector that may provide what you need.
Also, if you're starting a new app from scratch you may want to consider using the newer "V3 QBD" API instead of QBXML.
