Distributed product configuration

Hi,
I am new to the JDI and am wondering if it supports the following scenario.
Suppose I have a product that is distributed on two systems, can I develop the product in one track only ?
For example : suppose I have a J2EE server for my web application front end and another for the EJB's.
In this case , I would create two software components one for the front end and one for the backend. I would however put the two components in the same product.
Can I setup a track so that both components are deployed on their respective runtime systems ?
Thank you.
Thierry

Hi, Thierry!
I don' t think so as in CMS you' ve to identify exactly one dev., cons., test & prod. system for the entire tracks content.
Probably you' ll better create two SCs - each in a track - and define corresponding dependencies.
Hope, this helps.
Regards,
Thomas

CRM 7.0: set up IPC product configuration

Dear experts,
we set up a CRM 7.0 with ERP 6.0 backend integration. In the ERP we apply ERP variant configuration (Materials). Quite simple: some configurable materials (material type KMAT) with a few characteristics and product variants of them (material type FERT) which are maintained in order processing. Variant conditions are maintained and automatically determined for product items. Now we need this in CRM for opportunity processing.
Therefore we have created Knowledge Base and Runtime Version for the configurable products in ERP and downloaded test materials (one KMAT and one FERT (product variant) into CRM (download objects MATERIAL and SCE). In CRM product master data maintenance for the KMATconfigurable tab with the configuration profile is displayed. Afterwards we downloaded condition master data into CRM, among others variant condition VA00 with condition table A057. Everything looks fine.
In CRM we want to set up opportunity management. In the opprotunity transaction processing pricing is working already besides the determination of variant pricing. As we intend to maintain only FERT materials (product variants)we do not need interactive product configuration in CRM sales order or product simulation in CRM product master data. We only want the variant prices to be determined automatically for the product variants (FERT) in opportunity processing. That is why we are not sure if it necessary to set IPC configuration settings (XCM etc.). This is my first question. Nevertheless we started to maintain settings for product configuration in order to find out if this is solves our problem:
1.) XCM configuration (IPC): we set up a customer application for "crmproductsimulation" and defined customer components jco (RFC test worked) and productvariants and restarted J2EE Instance in TX: SMICM
2.) We set up product configuration customizing:
table: COMM_IPC_PROP: caller; crmproductsimulation; scenario.xcm; ZCRMproductssimulation
table: COMM_IPC_URL: UI_CFG; http://<host>:<port>100/ipc/ipc/command.do
When starting simulation of product model for configurable product in TX: COMMPR01 I get following error message: "HTTP500: ISA Framework: The [XCM application configuration]='ZCRMproductssimulation' does not exist. Check XCM configuration.
Details:   No details available". This application is maintained in XCM so I assume something else is missing.
To sum up my questions:
1.) Is it necessary to set up IPC product configuration as described above when we only want to maintain FERT products which are product variants and determine corresponding variant prices (VA00). No interactive product configuration is necessary.
2.) If it is necessary to set up IPC product configuration to active product configuration (to see product variants in product master data maintenance and opportunity processing and corresponding variant condition data), what did I do wrong?
Thank you very much for your help.
KInd regards,
Mark

Hi Arup,
thank you very much for your reply.
Concerning XCM / CRM customizing I have done the steps you recommended:
1. XCM: I created customer applications for crmordermaintain and crmproductsimulation and maintained customer component JCO for both of them (Assigned JCO User has SAPALL / SAPNEW, test run was successful) Active and default are ticked. Are there any further steps missing.May be in General Application Settings > Customer > ipcwebappconfig - I changed nothing there (SSLenabled: true)
2. In CRM customizing I maintained tables as follows:
COMM_IPC_PROP:
caller   crmordermaintain scenario.xcm   Zcrmordermaintain (name of customer xcm app -case sensitive)
caller   crmproductsimulation scenario.xcm Zcrmproductsimulation (name of customer xcm app -case sensitive)
COMM_IPC_URL:
Destination: UI_CFG ;Appl. <blank>; URL: http://<host>:<J2EEport/ipc/ipc/command.do
Calling the IPC product configuration e.g. from the CRM product master (simulate model), I get the already mentioned HTTP error:"ISA Framework: The [XCM application configuration]='Zcrmproductsimulation' does not exist. Check XCM configuration.".
That's why I am thinking that something is missing concerning the communication between CRM application and IPC,because XCM applications do definitely exist.
Is the URL correct .../ipc/ipc/commando.do which I maintained in table COMM_IPC_URL?
Is it possible to check if communication between CRM Online and Java does work respectively what do you exactly mean by "IPC URL must be available for UI_CFG"? UI_CFG ist a RFC-connection which has to be maintained additionaly and if so what has to be maintained exactly?
You mentioned a RFC_USER (This is the JCO-User I suppose?)and J2ee user. Is the J2ee user just the admin user of the J2EE engine or do you mean something different?
Thanks in advance for your further help.
Best regards,
Mark
Edited by: Mark Willhoeft on Jun 4, 2010 8:36 PM
Just one further thing: After changing XCM config I restarted J2EE by TX SMICM (Administration - J2EE Instance local - Send soft shutdown - with restart). Is this enough to restart J2EE and activate changed XCM settings or has the restart to be handled different?

I tried to look at the Locale of my system where I am installing and I could see it is using Eng-Us by default. One way suggested to check the Unicode format from the web browser and I could check that too to be UTF-8 as suggested by someone on some other blog.
I checked in the logs too as suggested by the Installation dialogue box but it didn't seem much conclusive too.
Here is the snapshot of the log file which I could found.

Hi all,
We are able to resolve the above issue with the below solution.
Root cause of the issue:
You may have a temp directory in the path C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp. You got the above mentioned exception because of the temp directory path having spaces_+ in it.
Solution:
1. Create a new directory called TEMP in a different location for ex: C:\TEMP
2. Now, Right click on My computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> click on Environment Variables.
3. You should be having TEMP and TMP as variables under user variables section pointing to the C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp path.
4. Edit the TEMP and TMP variables and mention C:\TEMP in the variable value.
5. Deinstall and re-install OBIEE 11g.
Happy OBIEE 11g installation!!
Thanks,

Service Pack 2 Update - Configuration Failed in Step 5:Products Configuration Wizard (Login Failed)

THIS IS FOR THE TEST ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS ONLY ONE SP SERVER/ONE SQL SERVER
The previous admin before me had already installed OWA Sp2/September 2014 CU on this box without Project Server Sp2 being installed along with it. I am now just updating Project Server to Service Pack 2. I downloaded the file from Microsoft, and installed
the files on the box. I now am running the Products Configuration Wizard to complete the update.
note: the config database version is 14.0.7132.5000 (because of the OWA Sp2
and September cumulative update installed, it does not say Service Pack 2 anywhere)
Please see photos to see the error I am getting. I cannot access the central administration anymore, it is giving me a HTTP Error 503. I need to fix this ASAP! I have tried using another account that should have had permissions but still no dice.

Service product configuration

Hi Experts,
I have requirement to update characteristics of service product configuration in a service order, could you please let me know if you have any idea about any function modules and how to use them and what parameters need to pass to them.
I am able to get the characteristics data through the function module VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION, but I am unable to use FM
CE_I_SET_CONFIGURATION to change or update the new characteristics data in the service product, as I am not clear what to pass on this.
If this is not clear let me know.
Thanks in advance..
-Vinni

Hi,
It was a headache, but at last found a way to do that, but no error handling was possible in this case.
You have to read the existing characteristics by using function module CUCB_GET_CONFIGURATION and then change/append the characteristics data as required, then use CUCB_SET_CONFIGURATION for updating the required data in service product, then use function modules CUCB_CONFIGURATION_TO_D and do the commit work subsequently.
Thanks,
Vinni

External product configurator within a CRM-ERP LORD2 scenario?

Is it possible to use an external product configurator within a CRM-ERP LORD2 scenario?
My customer has a running webshop with an own configuration UI (java based) which is connected through badis with the ECC.
And now we implemented in SAP CRM the ERP Quotation.
Instead of rebuilding the varionatfunctions ord attributes seting the customer thinks about to intgrate the existing "konfigurator" of his web shop.
Is there anyone who knows the interface
Basic Functions -> Product Configuration -> Settings for External Configurators.
more detailed.
Where can I find an Interface declaration?
Is the planned approached in general a valid way (from your point of view).
thanks,
Dirk

Hi Stuart,
You have to notice that in order to user R/3 BOM in CRM,
you have to download object BOM (tcode R3AC1).
But downloading object BOM into CRM only possible if
your R/3 is Retail scenario (unfortunetly mine is not).
Next thing I am going to test is, create Knowledge Base
in R/3 (choosing the type = BOM). after that in CRM
download using standard configurable object SCE.
If this successfull, we can see the configurable in
the Material Master CRM.
I am going to try this in couple days, please try it
first and let me know the result.
Hope this give you some information.
Cheers,
Gun.

Get Product Configuration

Hello,
Is there any BAPI or function that returns the Configuration Product data after i pass the PRODUCT_ID or the PRODUCT_GUID?
In the scenario i have(CRM 3.1), the product configuration is made in R/3 and then the configuration data passes to IPC.
What i see when i go to COMMPR01 in the tab Configuration and then click on Simulate Configuration button is a view from IPC with all the characteristics of the product.

Hi Raj,
I have a problem. When I create knowledge base and runtime version , the data is not getting downloaded to CRM.
I am alwalys doing an Initial download to get the knowledge base.
Any idea why delta download does not work. I assume when I generate the run time version, automatically the delta download should start. Am I right.
We are having CRM 4.0 SP04.
Do I need to export SCE Runtime version. I assume that this function export is used to export the sCE data to SCE database which resides in a PC and not to CRM middleware.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
Also do you have any idea of how to download configurable BOM's via knowledge base.
Thanks in advance
