Email Integration VS Groupware Integration in CRM 4.0

We have a requirement to replicate certain business activity types created in CRM thru' Portal interface to Lotus Notes as Calendar entries. We are in the process
of configuring the Groupware integration part to accomplish this.
The questions are...
1) Do we have to download all account and their contacts from CRM into the public folder of Lotus Notes for the successful creation of CRM activities
as Lotus Note Calendar entries?
2) Can we filter the replication of activities to Lotus Notes by their transaction types?  We need to send only certain activity types to Lotus notes.
We have lots of Email notifications to be sent to the company's Lotus Notes Email IDs as well as some external Email IDs. If an Action or Workflow is used
for these Email notifications it is my understanding that the SMTP comes with SAP CRM will take care of this Email routing. The groupware integration is not a
must for such Email notifications and it s required only for the replication of Activities to Lotus Notes. Please clarify.
Please let me know the details of configuration or any cookbooks available for the configuration of Email Integration and Groupware integration in CRM 4.0.

Hi,
If you plan to use Server Side Groupware Integration then,
1) Do we have to download all account and their contacts from CRM into the public folder of Lotus Notes for the successful creation of CRM activities
as Lotus Note Calendar entries?
>>The answer would be "YES".However we cannot download Business Activities in bulk to Groupware.The Business Activity has to be individually created and synchronized.
2)Can we filter the replication of activities to Lotus Notes by their transaction types? We need to send only certain activity types to Lotus notes.
>>YES. This is possible by maintaining the used transaction type in the table view CRMV_ICAL_ACTM.
Iam not sure about Email notifications.
But you can create Activities in CRM and invite attendees and these attendees will get the Meeting requests provided the "Calendar Maintenance" flag is set for them.
For more information please check "Groupware Integration Setup and Load Guide" available in help.sap.com.
Please read through SAP Note 908571 for more technical information.

  • One-to-One Email Integration and slow Outlook performance

    Hey All -
    I am working on configuring the one-to-one email integration for CRM 2007 and having issues when CRM accesses the Exchange mail store from my outlook client.  All necessary components have been installed and configured on the client as I am able to view the inbox and transfer these messages into CRM and save as activities, but the performance is VERY poor.  It seems each time CRM has to access the mail store through the MAPI client, the CPU utilization on the client shows 25 - 40% utilization (on a dual-core CPU).  This slow performance results in response times of at least 10 seconds for each mail store access that CRM has to perform.  I have tested this with both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. Also, all systems and client are local, and network performance is not an issue.
    I would like to demo this functionality to the business users, but am afraid that these response times are not accetable even for a prototype/demo session.
    Has anyone else experienced these slow access times using the one-to-one email integration?
    thanks,
    John

    Hello John,
    We seem to have the same problem as you do.
    When we open a mail in CRM via the button "transfer to CRM" everything is still fine.
    However if we would do any interaction  on the page with the opened mail (like using the back or cancel button, selecting a reference form the dropdown list, using a link on the navigation on the left, etc.) the page will look like it stopped responding  and after some time (5-40 seconds depending on the pc) will continue with it's (CRM) proccessing.
    When we used the taskmanager to see what's happening we can clearly see OUTLOOK.EXE is starting a process when we used a button. And when that process is done, the page seems to respond again and the CRM processing continues.
    So it looks like we have to find either what is triggering this outlook process and why it happens on every CRM action on the webgui in that page. Or why this outlook process takes so long to complete.
    Using the buttons on the mail component itself does not seem to have this problem (find, save as local file, etc.)
    Have you found any further clues to your (and probably our as well) problem?
    Regards,
    Joram

  • Oracle CRM Email Integration including iphone and Blackberry

    We add with CRM Gadget a free email integration.
    This integration is working with every mail application including iphone & blackberry.
    Link: [https://sites.google.com/a/crm-gadget.com/wiki/home/forward-email-to-oracle-crm-on-demand]
    Link: [www.crm-gadget.com]

    We are having the same problem - when the iphone checks mail, the account locks up and other email clients are unable to access the same account for 15-20 minutes. Not a very efficient business tool. This isn't just a mail.app problem either, it happens with Eudora too. Blackberry and Motorola users are not experiencing the same issues - they're able to check simutaneously with other devices. Maybe there is something that can be done on the mail server end?

  • MS Outlook Groupware integration with CRM - issue

    Hi Gurus,
    Please help me on the below explained problem.
    We implemented MS Outlook groupware integration in CRM for activities synchronization from CRM to MS Outlook and vise versa and the synchronization is working fine for all accounts excepting one account, the activities synchronization is not happening from CRM to Outlook for one account.
    Please let me know know what could be the issue with this account or any customization settings missing or anything should be changed in account master data.
    Please do needful
    Thanks and Regards,
    Venkatesh

    Hi Venkatesh,
    I assume that you are using client side groupware integration.  I could think of following possibilities with that account -
    1. That account might be deleted/achieved/blocked
    2.  Incomplete sales area data (if not a prospect)
    Another way to check (I am sure you would have already done this) is that compare the problem account with the other account for which synchronization is happening correctly.  May be you can check each tab from CRM GUI or each assignment block from CRM WEB UI.
    Hope this will be useful.
    Thanks and Regards

  • PCUI Email Integration

    hey
    I am using CRM 4.0 with PCUI 6.02 in my SAP Portal 6.0.
    SAP says that PCUI provied a email integration, and i have a question of how advanced it is.
    I have set up javamail and mailtransport, so I can send mail from my Portal. I have also integrated Outlook Web Access in the Portal. In PCUI i see that some applications provide Email like ContantPerson and Quotation. I have tried to use this email function, and it works fine. But I want all the mail i send on a Contact Person and Business Partner, to get stored on the Contant Person / BP (like an attatchments or something).
    Is this possible? Or is the email integration in PCUI a pure "send mail" application? What other advanced option does this provide?
    Best Regards

    yes the IE version plays here a major role. Try having same IE version to all users.Then you will experience same results for all users

  • Where do i change the server in outlook email integration?

    Hi,
    I work with 2 servers (pods) in CRM, but when i installed outlook email integration it conects to one of them and cannot find where to configure the other server, any help?
    thanks

    You can change this in your regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: Software: Siebel CRM On Demand: Siebel Outlook Email Integration On Demand
    Change the values for UI Server and Server
    You will have to change this each time you switch pods - as far as i know, unless there is some way you can put two buttons on your outlook and each button pointing to different pods.

  • Web form integration in CRM

    Hi All,
              Can i request for any infomraion on web form integration with CRM?
    Kind Regards.

    Hi thomas
    CRM processes Web forms much the same as regular emails. Logically there are 3 parts for Webform to CRM integration:
    a) External web application: This is the application hosting the web form page.
    b) Webform to Email conversion: The external application needs to convert the web form data to an email and send to CRM.
    c) Webform fact gathering service (CRM): The webform fact gathering service analyzes the email structure extracts relevant information and adds this to factbase. This information may be used during rule evaluation or for other purpose.
    To facilitate processing of Web forms, the external application first converts Web-form data into standard email format (i.e., SMTP) with an XML attachment.  As a convention, you must name the Web form WEBFORM.XML.
    Technologies such as Sun JavaMail or Microsoft ASP.NET can perform the conversion as long as the resulting email contains an attached XML document with the following mandatory tags:
    1. name of the Web form
    <WEBFORM_ID> </WEBFORM_ID>
    2. ID of Web form email address as defined in the CRM system; determines the u201CFromu201D email address
    <WEBFORM_ACCOUNT> </WEBFORM_ACCOUNT>
    3. ID of the inbound CRM email address as defined in the CRM system (transaction CRM_ERMS_OUTG_EMAIL)
    <ERMS_EMAILID> </ERMS_EMAILID>
    u2022     : email address of the individual customer/user
    <SENDER> </SENDER>
    Let me know if you need further information

  • Error installing Oracle Outlook Email Integration On Demand: Registry Issue

    Good day all-
    Hoping that someone has come across this issue before and is aware of a solution - I have a user that is unable to install the Oracle Outlook Email Integration On Demand plug in for Outlook.
    Outlook is not running when the install is done, yet a "Severe" error pop-up is generated during the install which says: "Setup was not able to write all necessary registry entries. The installation will be aborted!"
    Still see the same issue after a reboot and no other users are having a problem installing it - anyone have any ideas and/or which registry entires the installer is trying to touch?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Does the user have admin rights to their machine? Registry entries for OEI are writing to the following:

  • Integration of CRM Service with ERP MM (Reservation, Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order)

    My (i think simple) question is about integration of CRM service to ERP MM, e.g. for spare parts delivery or spare parts purchasing or scrapping parts in a CRM service order - i thought something very basic and standard
    I always thought that inside a ERP SD order you have item categories and those item categories do have a schedule line category and a requirement class and from those are determined the MM movement typ and the automatism if the system creates  in MM a reservation a purchase requisition or a purchase order. That was always my understanding
    Now i was surprised to learn the customizing in SAP CRM (CRM/Transactions/Settings for Service Transactions/Integration/ Logistics Integration/Define Transfer parameters) - there i can say:
    CRM Transaction Type+ CRM Item Category = ERP Movement Type + ERP Special Stock Indicator
    or next to it in the SAP CRM Customizing
    (CRM/Transactions/Settings for Service Transactions/Integration/ Logistics Integration/DefineLogistics Scenario for the Procurement of Material and Sales)
    i can say:
    CRM Transaction Type+ CRM Item Category = ERP Reservation or ERP purchase requisition or ERP purchase Order
    Now i know that in SAP CRM if you have a transaction and an item category for a logistics operation, the system creates an EPR sales order of the same number and type with the same item categories.
    My question is: WHERE is determined which movement type the system uses and if there is created a reservation or purchase requisition or purchase Order. Is it determined in the ERP by using the ERP sales order item category and the SD item category customizing or is it determined by the customizing in the SAP CRM that i described above?
    Thank you
