How to initiate Live auction...

Hi
We are using SRM 4.0 and configured Live auction.
In the smoketest UME logon is successfully verified.
Then selected "Launch applet" button which opens new applet window which is totally blank with blue background.In the status bar it shows "Applet com.sap.srm.la.client.applet.initiator.InitiatorApplet started".
At the same time I am not able to see "ITS/LOGON" button in the smoketest screen as mentioned in the config document.
My question is
1.What should I get in the applet window when "Launch Applet" button is selected and What is the URL for viewing live auction.
2.How to initiate and where to view the Live auction once auction is created in Sourcing cockpit.
Please explain me as I am new to Live auction functionality.
Thanks

Hello Jagdish,
If You want to configure Live Auction, You must do as following:
Configure J2EE Engine with Live Auction.
file location: <drive>:\usr\sap\<J2EE_engine>\global\config\srmla\srmla.properties
check this parameters
jco.client.client=<your client number>
jco.client.user=<your comm user>
jco.client.passwd=<password>
#SAP Messege Server, GROUP NAME AND R3 NAME
jco.client.mshost=<application host>
jco.client.group=PUBLIC
jco.client.r3name=<your SID>
#SAP Application Server and SYSTEM NUMBER
jco.client.ashost=<application host>
jco.client.sysnr=<system number>
Try change UM/ITS authentication:
srmla.um=0
In file:
<drive>:\usr\sap\<J2EE instance>\j2ee\j2ee_<number>\properties\mySAP.properties
EXTERNAL_LOGON_URL=<http or https>://<host>:<port>/scripts/wgate/bbp_la_login/!?~laRedirectURL=
for https change:
UM_USE_HTTPS_LOGON=true
SSO_VERIFYPSE_NAME=<drive>:/usr/sap/<instance>/j2ee/j2ee_<number>/properties/sso.pse
Properties added for Live Auction
UM_SAP_SYSTEM_EBD_client=<your client>
UM_SAP_SYSTEM_EBD_user=<user>
UM_SAP_SYSTEM_EBD_passwd=<password>
UM_SAP_SYSTEM_EBD_lang=<language>
UM_SAP_SYSTEM_EBD_ashost=<application host>
UM_SAP_SYSTEM_EBD_sysnr=<system number>
UM_SAP_SYSTEM_EBD_poolmaxsize=20
UM_DISABLE_DB=true
Save settings and restart J2EE.
in transaction SM59 add a HTTP connection to your web host.
add to your vendor role: SAP_EC_BBP_BIDDER
add to your purchaser role: SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER
If You create Auction via Sourcing Cockpit You must configure it.
To do this use role SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER -> sourcing -> process auction
Add prefered vendors, start and end time of auction and click 'Live Auction' link.

Marcin Gajewski

Live Auction has been installed, but doesn't work

Hi experts!
I've got a lot of errors - LAC doesn't work - Need your help!
1: (SmokeTest):
Make sure the Live Auction initiator's applet JAR file has been properly deployed. This file should be located at H:\usr\sap\SRN\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.srm.la\servlet_jsp\srm\root\srm\nullsrmlaInitiator5.10.0.jar.
If you are accessing this page outside of the firewall and via a web dispatcher or reverse proxy, then make sure you can download the JAR file using the "Download" button below. Alternatively, you can try accessing this page inside the firewall to verify that the JAR file is deployed properly.

What can I do?
If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system SRN in transaction ST22.
If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server serverzzz_SRM_zz in transaction SM21.
If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 0 in transaction ST11 on the application server serverzzz_SRM_zz . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

So, first of all as far I understand path to JAR files is misconfigured. Where and how can I fix it?
Any help will be appreciated!

I cannot explain it other than to tell you the current recommendations are to keep java turned off and there are no other posts like yours that claim they need it on (at least that I have seen). Also I have it off on my system and flash plays with no problems in all the sites I go to (modulo some buffering problems sometimes with certain hi-res videos on only youtube).
Did you install the latests flash player downloaded directly from the adobe site?
Maybe you have a flash storage or cookie problem. Those can be cleared and deleted with the Flash Player system preferences.
It's your decision on whether you want to take your chances with Java on rather than find the root of the problem. If you do that then at a minimum make sure you have latest apple java updates, I recommend you install and learn about Little Snitch, and use OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).

Live Auction's jCO RFC connection to SRM is NOT successful.

hi to all,
can any one help me about the configuration of RFC of live auction cockpit?
i have followed the inst guide, but i always keep getting this message.
RFC Error using locale en
RFC Error using locale ja
RFC Error using locale de
Your RFC connection between Live Auction and SRM has failed. Please verify the following:
Did you configure your SRM jCO setting (eg: jco.client.ashost, jco.client.sysnr etc) in Live Auction's properties?
Is the user specified in jco.client.user property exist in SRM with the correct role and password ? Please change the user to type dialog and try to logon via SAPGUI before changing it to communication user to ensure the user is NOT locked.
Did your SRM R3 has the code page installed that are specified in jco.client.lang ?
Please check the J2EE engine's log file to see more details of the error. Please refer to J2EE's documentation on how to view the log files.
thanks in advance

Hi Ranin,
Have you checked the note 1593439 where it mentions:
If you are using Live Auction JAVA, you would additionally be required
to assign the Authority object S_RFC to the RFC user being used for
establishing a JCO connection between LACWPS JAVA Server and the SRM
ABAP backend system with the following values. This authority is not
needed in case you are using Live Auction on ABAP in SRM 7.0 Enhancement
Pack 1 (SAP SRM 7.01) or higher release.
       Object            Field                Value
       S_RFC             ACTVT                16
                         RFC_NAME             BBP_LA_BIZAPI
                         RFC_TYPE             FUGR
Perhaps this is the problem?

Live Auction Link not correct

Hi All,
We have Live Auction setup with SRM 7.0 EHP2. When we click Live Action button from Auction Overview Screen, it takes us correctly to our company url link (http://myjabilstg.corp.jabil.org/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl%3A%2F%2Faf4e4b.....) where as if we get into Display Auction and click Live Action button there it takes us to SRM Server link (http://sapsrqci.corp.jabil.org:8001/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAxMCZkPW1pbg==)/bc/bsp/sapsrm/bsp_java_...) how can we make the later same as the former? Appreciate your time. Thanks!

Hi Sam
Thank you for the response. I have noticed if i select bidding system to be "external bidding system" then the auction is sent to SUS via PI , message "AuctionSRMReplicationRequest_Out" to create the auction in SUS. I am now facing the issue that the "Partner 0000000815 not found" this business partner belongs to the operation purchaser in SRM.
How do we transfer users from SRM to SUS keeping the same business partner ?
A lot of threads refer to the following note " 1523906" but i can download as it is not released. Does anyone have the note downloaded ?
Thanks

In this case also if we copy and create new, bidder was able to submit his bid
Plz tell me, how to resolve such kind of issues.

Live Auction: :):(

Hi Marcin/vangala/jagdish:
I am having a situation where the client wants to bring up the Live Auction Cockpit earlier to the whole SRM 4.0 Base system.
My question is that what problems would i face in processing a Live Auction without the base SRM system in the production environment. (Materials, vendors replicated from the backend which i would need?).
Can anybody tell me how this can be done? If not what are the impacts and issues that needs to be addresssed.
Please help guys !!!
Thanks,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
LAC is a Java UI layer that is connected to SRM Server.
That means auction objects are stored in the SRM Server itself (usual CRMD_ORDERADM, BBP_PD... tables).
Master data also comes from SRM Server (vendor & contacts, materials...).
So yo can not run LAC without SRM.
LAC 2.0 is delivered with SRM 4.0 (SRM Server 5.0).
LAC 1.0 was delivered with SRM 3.0 (EBP 4.0).
Prior to this release, SAP auction tools were designed for hosted services on marketplaces (DPE, DA/DB).
If you try to plug LAC 2.0 to earlier SRM system, I doubt it could do anything.

SRM Live Auction Configuraton

Hi Guys,
I am working on SRM 5.0. I am unable to start Live Auction Cockpit. Can any one guide me how to configure SRM 5.0 Live Auction Cockpit. If you people have any document regarding this please forward to my personal Id : [email protected]
I am getting following error:
500 Internal Server Error -- java.lang.RuntimeException:
Unable to connect to R3 to retrieve applet properties. Please check Live Auction R3 connection parameters. Please review live auction application logs for more details.

Hi Marcin
Thanks for reply.
Using Config tool we have configured the following parameters earlier
jco.client.client = 200
jco.client.user = basadm (user created in client 200 and assigned sap_all and SAP_new*)
jco.client.password = password of basadm
jco.client.mshost = hostname of SRM system
jco.client.ashost = hostname of SRM system
jco.client.sysnr = 01
For this configuration we can able to start live auction cockpit but unable to display the auction. I am getting Authourization error to display/process that auction.
We also tried with following parameters
jco.client.client = 001
jco.client.user = J2ee_admin (default user in client 001 and assigned roles only for Java Applications)
jco.client.password = password of Java user
jco.client.mshost = hostname of SRM system
jco.client.ashost = hostname of SRM system
jco.client.sysnr = 00
At this stage we are unable to start the Java Engine(Server0 process not starting).
Can i have your personal ID so that i can provide document of my problem.

Hi Dinesh,
Thanks for your quick response. Your document helps to how to create an live auction. But my requirement is different.we can create auction with different rules. SAP has provided 4 rules .
1. Overall Best Bid - English Auction
2. Best Bid From Each Bidder - Blind Bidding Rank-Only
3. Best Bid From Each Company - Company Best Bid
4. User defined bidding rules - Customer specific
While creation of bid you can choose any one of these options. for first 3 options SAP has provide some ruling.
But for 4th one customer has to define the rules while bidding.
My requirement is to define rules for bidding.
How to define these rules and where to define these rules so that if I select the 4th option while creating the live auction these rules will effect in live auction.

Apparao A

Pause or end live auction

Hi
I would like to ask a few questions:
i work with SRM5
1. After the auction start if i click on the PAUSE button the auction is pause the users get a message but the remaining time of
the auction is not pause. is it a regular thing??
2. If i click on the END button in live auction the auction is not stop and i get the message "specified time has not reached".
even in extend time i get the message. so how can i stop the auction???
Thanks
Ronen w.

1. After the auction start if i click on the PAUSE button the auction is pause the users get a message but the remaining time of the auction is not pause. is it a regular thing??
Yes. It's standard behavior. The clock won't stop ticking while the auction is paused.
2. If i click on the END button in live auction the auction is not stop and i get the message "specified time has not reached". even in extend time i get the message. so how can i stop the auction???
You can't manually stop the auction before the scheduled end time is reached. (Think about the common scenario where some bidders who would only join the bidding when it is towards the end.) The "end" button is only to manually trigger the closure of the auction when the background job to end it fails. It's a fallback solution. To prevent further bids before the auction officially ends, one workaround is to pause the auction and let the remaining time run out.

How to play live streaming in windows phone 8.1 silverlight app?

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8.1 silverlight app. In my I want to show live streaming youtube channel , I think it is not possible,
Actually that youtube channel is a television channel , I want to stream that live tv in my app.(I tried to load youtube channel in webbrowser in iframe tag but it is not opening)
Anybody help me how to play live tv or live streaming in my app,
Thanks..
Suresh.M

Hello,
You will likely need to write a custom
MediaStreamSource that can access the media stream and parse it. Windows Phone supports h.264 natively and as long as the site serves up a media stream that contains h.264 frames you can parse it and have our built in decoder decode and display it. You
will need to have intimate knowledge of the streaming protocol used by the website that you are trying to play. You must also make sure that the website is not using protected content. IANAL so I would recommend that you have your local law professional
(lawyer) review the licensing of the website that you are attempting to connect to and stream from before continuing your development. Your lawyer can make sure make sure their licensing allows you to do this.
I hope this helps,
James
