Integrating Search Engine Service with SAP R/3

Folks,
We are in the process of researching enhancements for search features available in SAP R/3 4.7.
One of the options is the SAP NetWeaver Application Server Enterprise Search's Search Engine Service feature with which I believe any SAP application (including SAP R/3) can perform fuzzy search for their business objects for instance Customer master data.
I have seen an article on SDN which talks about enabling the same for mySAP ERP 2005. Can someone tell me if the same is advisable for SAP R/3.
Here's the link to the article for reference.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a751a1ec-0a01-0010-f0ba-89e4c5cd0261
Any pointers on this would be appreciated. In addition to these pointers to any other options available within SAP R/3 to enable fuzzy search for customer and it's attributes (address etc.) would be useful. Please note we are not looking at using third party licensed products for the same yet.
Thanks,
-Priyapravas

Hi Priyapravas,
With the SAP NW Enterprise Search 1.0 we are supporting (out of the box) search for a bunch of Business objects like Customer, Vendor etc.. with the help of SES. SES is a part of the NW2004s and ERP 2005. For the earlier R/3 versions above 4.6 we are providing the search functionality on Business Objets by leveraging the BI extractor mechanism and TREX. Also to a large extent existing BAPI can be leveraged for searching the backend.
So as you see no matter what SAP backend you have in place the Enterprise search has or will soon have a solution for you and you dont have to even look at a 3rd party licenced product.

Uddhav

Integrating EC organizational structure with SAP OM

Hi experts,
Do you know if someone has successfully integrated EC Organizational Structure with SAP HCM OM Structure? I mean cases when the organizational struture is created and maintained in SuccessFactors and then transferred to SAP HCM OM (organizational units, positions, holders) in order to avoid double maintenance in SAP. Is there for instance an iFlow delivered by SAP to help with the integration? Just wondered if this kind of integration is worth trying or if it would too complicated.
Thanks,
Anna

You should read the EC to SAP ERP integration handbook (found at http://service.sap.com/ec-ondemand) as there are certain caveats regarding field lengths, etc. Ensure that your enterprise structure in Employee Central makes sense from an SAP perspective, because certain objects (e.g. a Department) can be shared by multiple parent objects (e.g. Divisions) and you need to ensure it will make sense in SAP in terms of workflows etc.

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

Hi Anup,
I am facing purchase requisition creation problem for service products from crm.
I have seen your query which was posted on same issue, so i thought i could get some help.
The problem here is when i am saving the service order i am getting the below message.
Enter a (default) purchasing group for material group SUB_MC (Notification E CRM_SRV_LOG_EXT_OLTP 002).
I have actually downloaded mat_dien materials from ecc to crm and for material purchase group is already assigned for one plant, but still not able to recognise.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Integrating third party recruitment with SAP

Hi folks,
I had a question regarding intergrating the third party system with SAP HR masterdata. I am basically looking at transferring the applicant data from the Recruiting (third party tool ) system into SAP HR Masterdata. I found using the feature PAPLI something like integration could be done. I do not know how ???
Right now, at the click of button something like Data transfer (entering the applicant id) can be manually imported into SAP Masterdata from the SAP recruiting module on the same system.
Can such a process be achieived using a third party tool? Is direct transfer process from the thrid party tool into SAP Employee Masterdata possible? Is the feature PAPLI (found from IMG) something like this can be accomplished?
The version we are using is SAP 4.6C
Any thoughts or leads in this area will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
SK

I am not sure of any standard integration programs specific to recruitment, but through customization we can integrate third party rectt systems like People click, HRP etc.
Develop inbound programs with ALE-IDOC system to transfer the data to Rectt tables.
The switch will control activation of integration between the systems.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

Integrating SuccessFactors PMS solution With SAP HCM without saving any employee master data in SF

Hi Friends,
We’re implementing SuccessFactors’s Performance Management Solution only at one of the client location in Saudi Arabia and trying to integrate with the On-Premise SAP HCM and Push the employee data to SF.
However, due to security concerns customer doesn’t want to store any data on SucessFactors cloud solution to run the PMS cycle.
During the purchase of license for SuccessFactors SAP has demonstrated client that, in SF a unique Id will be created for each employee, which will not be the actual UserID(PERNR)from SAP, and with this unique ID actual employee data will be tagged/linked in SF which will fetch the data from SAP On-Premise system to run the PMS cycle. Once the user logins in SF, based on the unique ID data will fetch from SAP On-Premise system to SF on a real time basis and when the user logged out from the SF system, data should be cleared/deleted and nothing will be saved or stored in SF with respect to employee Master Data.
I understand SAP has provided the standard add-on for the Employee Data Scenario between SuccessFactors and SAP HCM, which could have been leveraged here for integration using PI, however with the above limitation this solution is absolutely out of scope.
Please advice, is there any solution where with PI if we can achieve the above requirement of client.
Thanks,
Farhan

I want to report a browser hijack by one of the "themes", Aerofox. When it updated, it attempted to hijack my search engine preferences with "bing". This theme needs to be removed at once!

Aerofox Theme
The above mentioned theme attempted to hijack my search engine preference by installing "bing" on my system. I was forced to block the attempt, and in doing so caused an exceptional fault failure. I was not able to recover the error #. This forced a "hard" boot of my system in order to get FireFox operational again. I then found that bing had been installed anyway. I take GREAT exception to this, and after uninstalling, cleaning and rebooting I am once again one with FireFox and Google.
I request an immediate removal of the theme Aerofox from the mozilla offerings until such time as the "bing" search engine hijack can be removed from its' update.
I consider ANY program that installs itself without foreknowledge or permission to be a hijack. At least post a warning on the theme.

(SEO) Improving Search Engine Rankings with FB4/Flex 4 (spark)

Is FB4/Flex 4/spark components doing work to make Flash RIA sites searchable?

Hi,
We are not doing anything specific in Spark to enable more searchability, we are still waiting on the search engines to continue to improve their implementations to support loading content dynamically which will then expose the text that is on the screen. We do have some thoughts on things we can do with deep linking to help promote structure to the search engines in the future, but that would also require cooperation with the engines and isn't something we can do entirely on our own.

Integrating the ms outlook with Sap.

Hi All,
Our client wants his out look users to be reflected at sap level.Hence we are planning to integrate ms outlook to sap.Please let me know how it is done.Any documents to do this integration.(screen shots are always welcome).Detalied procedure.

Hi Balaji,
No, a sap user who wants to send mails to outlook users and the user sending the mail to outlook must get all the users of outlook in sap,in auto look up mode.(When using outlook for sending the mails,when you want to send a mail suppose to user"balaji" if you click type "b"on address bar you can see all th users name starting with b...like balaji,balram,basker etc......)
We need a way to have an e-mail address look-up/auto-complete (preferably from the Exchange Global Address list) feature anywhere that you would put an email address into the SAPGUI interface
Something like the email address auto-complete feature in Outlook (never mind that this is a client-side feature).Another possibility is the address lookup feature (pressing crtl-k in Outlook).
Please see the attached document for the actual scenario.
I tried using the distribution list (so23),but we have thousands of users in outlook.It is not apprciable to make those many entries in the list, and more over the user will not be sending the same po to same individuals at every given time.
Please share with me any docs which can give clear picture about this prosedure to be followed to either get this done or integrating outlook with sap(the last option i supppose)

How can I delete the search engines included with Firefox? What happened to Mozilla's independence?

I'm not happy that Mozilla is supplying numerous search engines with the software. I want to delete them, not just hide them.
What happened to Mozilla's independence?

Hello WA9KWS, type (or copy/paste) in address bar the next :
chrome://browser/content/search/engineManager.xul
and see '''IF that allows to delete search engines'''.

Publish web services with SAP 7.1

hello everybody,
i'm working with a sap installation netweaver 7.1
i want publish some functions as web services.
I made it many time with NW 7.0 without problem.
At the moment i'm using the same procedure:
SE37 - function name - Utilities - create webservices, etc etc...
SOAMANAGER - download wsdl etc etc
for test wsdl , usually i use Eclipse or other wsdl client.
when i publish webservices with 7.1 i have back errors from each client.
Does procedure is changed??
i'm missing something?

Did you used WSPUBLISH transaction for publishing?
You just configured service NOT published it. You can still configure it using SOAMANAGER just create service and endpoint (give any name) and it is done then you can use binding url for testing.
If this doesn't help then my advice to re-read everything related to Webservice Configuration (do not read about publishing). You are confusing two different thing, YOU CAN'T PUBLISH SERVICE WITHOUT SR.
Please read this and follow exact steps: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/3971ff39591a53e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
If you are creating using wizard in SE80/SE37 then skip publishing part of service.

Gourav
