Right PAAS/Middleware for SAP HCM and SAP Cloud Integration ?

In 2013, SAP has lot of Focus on SAP Cloud and SAP HCM on premises integration elements following the hybrid model, I will like to know the direction from SAP on integration Middleware/PAAS which will reap great returns in terms of TCO to customers over next 4-5 years basis the SAP Integration Road map esp the exposing standard connectors ?
Please do keep in mind the the Middleware/PAAS should be able to support easy integration with Third Party Vendors like ADP/Hewitt etc

The SFAPI and OData API are exposed for any web service integration, including Dell Boomi AtomSphere. The OData API can handle delta changes.
HCI is an evolving platform and offers similar functionality to Boomi in terms of building integrations with a drag-and-drop interface, etc. There is a SuccessFactors connector provided for HCI and the Talent Hybrid integration content is available on HCI as well as PI. The Employee Central integration content currently available on Boomi should be available on HCI hopefully by the end of the year. The Talent Hybrid high-level roadmap can be found here:
SAP HCM and SuccessFactors Integration Packages: an overview
Boomi is included in the Employee Central subscription, but is very expensive to license for other use cases (i.e. Talent Hybrid scenarios). HCI costs 7.5% of the SuccessFactors subscription. PI is free. HCI may be included in the Employee Central subscription at a later date, but this is not definitely going to happen.

    Freddie,
    As many SAP clients had reached a maturity level to archive their structured(DB data) & unstructured (Document data) OpenText is better option.  
    Yes, as Deepak Quoted xECM provides many features like:
    360° View on SAP and non-SAP content  
    Collaboration between SAP and non-SAP user
    Business user efficiency with multiple user frontends
    End to End Content Lifecycle Management
    ECM Consolidation on a single platform
    Records Management for SAP & non-SAP content
    Legacy Decommissioning
    Optimize IT & reduce TCO
    Access to Content anywhere/anytime
    Faster processes with SAP Workflow
    Eliminate Paper Inefficiencies
    Disaster Protection of Content
    Secure long-term Storage
    While SAP DMS has it is own merits xECM MAY win.

    Hi Denish,
    You have 2 ways of loading data from R/3 to APO.
    1. R/3 to BW cube to APO-BW cube to APO planning area
    or
    2.  R/3 to APO-BW cube to APO planning area   
    BW can be a enterprise BW system ( independent) or you can use the BW inbuilt in APO also referred to as APO-BW.
    The only difference between the 2 BW systems is APO-BW can not take the load of reporting where as the enterprise BW can.
    Unless your company policy requires the enterprie BW system, I suggest using 2nd way.
    You can load the data from R/3 to APO-BW cube using extractors either generic or standard depending on your data. You need to have a RFC connection setup between APO-BW and R/3. ( This is not CIF).
    When you load the data into the APO-BW cube, you just have to load the data from the cube to APO planning area using the transaction /sapapo/tscube.
    Refer to [DP Data Mart|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/13/5ada58309111d398250000e8a49608/frameset.htm] for more information about the data transfer between APO-BW and APO.

    Andrea Maraviglia

    Ciao Andrea,
    just a couple of hints:
    - Did you already tried to skip logon to BOE and instead directly select BW system? this should avoid to involve snc and then BEx query should be accessible. This would be a further confirmation that issue is the SNC, even if the log you posted is pretty clear about that.
    - Do you have snc installed even in local PC running MS Advanced Analysis? I Think it is necessary for the described workflow (page 24 of Admin Guide): 
    "With SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as the BI platform, single sign-on works if the following conditions
    are true:
    u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 is configured correctly for single sign-on. For more information,
    see u201CConfiguring SAP authenticationu201D in the Integration for SAP Solutions Install and Admin Guide
    at http://service.sap.com/bosap-instguides SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) >
    Integration for SAP Solutions > XI 3.1.
    u2022 Secure Network Communications (SNC) is installed on each client PC. For more information, see
    SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com SAP NetWeaver > SAP NetWeaver Library > SAP
    NetWeaver by Key Capability > Security > Network and Transport Layer Security > Secure
    Network Communications.
    u2022 Each end user has a user account in the connected BW system."
    Furthermore, if I rember correctly, there could be restriction in license using SAP Cryptographic Library (client connection is not supported: SAP notes 597059 and 397195), so you should check your SNC software.
    Hope it could hep.
    Regards.
    Roberto.

  • What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

    HI Friends
    What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
    What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
    Regards

    Hi,
    SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
    Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
    The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
    These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
    To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle – from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

  • SAP IBP and SAP S&OP on HANA

    I am trying to understand the relationship between SAP S&OP on HANA and SAP IBP.
    I see the latest version of S&OP on HANA is 3.0 SP02. Is this actually the 'S&OP' part of the IBP 4.0 application suite, or does IBP 4.0 have a specific, different, S&OP component?
    Thanks for any advice on this...

    IBP for S&OP is the next version of SAP S&OP on HANA.
    It is similar to our SAP APO and SAP SCM name change of next versions.
    IBP is a Suite and IBP for S&OP is one of the component. You can subsribe along with IBP's other components or Stand alone.

  • Connecting SAP ERP and SAP XI via RFC (in cluster)

    Hi all,
    I have a strange problem with SAP ERP and SAP XI (production systems). Both systems are installed in cluster. I am trying to connect both systems via RFC, so I configurred TCP connection using SM59. But, when I try to test connection, I am always getting error "Program xxxx is not registered". When I register the program on the sender communication channel on different system (develop system - different machine), connection works fine. Configuration on both SAP XI production and development systems is identical. I just cannot understand, why production SAP ERP does not see registered program on production SAP XI. Has anybody experiences with this? Or any other ideas where should be the problem?

    Are you configuring the RFC Sender adapter with load balancing?
    what is the hostname you're using for ERP?
    Is it the message server's?
    Also, make sure the dispatcher is properly configured, sending the requisitions to the application servers.
    Regards,
    Henrique.

  • SAP XML and SAP IDOC XML

    Hi Friends,
    Can any one tell me what is the difference between SAP XML and SAP IDOC XML?
    Regards,
    Kumar

    Hi,
    Various XML standards are supported by SAP. It presents data according to an SAP specification either in IDoc-XML or BAPI-XML, the SAP XML extensions for IDocs and BAPIs. It uses preprepared representations of the SAP interfaces to XML Commerce Business Language (xCBL) messages to facilitate communication with the MarketSet marketplaces.
    Messages are stored in a generic envelope. This envelope contains metadata that controls, among other things, the routing of the messages. SAP supports two different standards for these envelopes - Microsoft BizTalk and a format similar to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Packaging SAP BAPIs in a standard envelope offers several advantages, including direct processing of messages by external applications and a uniform system of error handling.

  • SAP SCM and SAP APO: Best practices, tips and recommendations

    Hi,
    I have been gathering useful information about SAP SCM and SAP APO (e.g., advanced supply chain planning, master data and transaction data for advanced planning, demand planning, cross-plant planning, production planning and detailed scheduling, deployment, global available-to-promise (global ATP), CIF (core interface), SAP APO DP planning tools (macros, statistical forecasting, lifecycle planning, data realignment, data upload into the planning area, mass processing u2013 background jobs, process chains, aggregation and disaggregation), and PP/DS heuristics for production planning).
    I am especially interested about best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO. For example, [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 3.1.1|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700006480652001E] and [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 4.0|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000596412005E] contain pretty useful knowledge about CIF.
    If you know any useful best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO, I would appreciate if you could share those assets with me.
    Thanks in advance of your help.
    Regards,
    Jarmo Tuominen

    Hi Jarmo,
    Apart from what DB has suggested. you should give a good reading on the following.
    -Consulting Notes (use the application component filters in search notes)
    -Collective Notes (similar to the one above)
    -Release Notes
    -Release Restrictions
    -If $$ permit subscribe to www.scmexpertonline.com. Good perspective on concepts around SAP SCM.
    -There are a couple of blogs (e.g. www.apolemia.com) .. but all lack breadth.. some topics in depth.
    -"Articles" section on this site (not all are classified well.. see in ECCops, mfg, SCM, Logistics etc)
    -Serivce.sap.com- check the solution details overview in knowledge exchange tab. There are product presentations and collaterals for every release. Good breadth but no depth.
    -Building Blocks - available for all application areas. This is limited to vanilla configuration of just making a process work and nothing more than that.
    -Get the book "Sales and Operations Planning with SAP APO" by SAP Press. Its got plenty of  easy to follow stuff, good perspective and lots of screen shots to make life easier.
    -help.sap.com the last thing that most refer after all "handy" options (incl. this forum) are exhausted. Nevertheless, this is the superset of all "secondary" documents. But the maze of hyperlinks that start at APO might lead you to something like xml schema.
    Key Tip: Appreciate that SAP SCM is largely driven by connected execution systems (SAP ECC/ERP). So the best place to start with should be a good overview of ERP OPS solution overview, at least at the significant level of depth.). Check this document at sdn wiki "ERP ops architecture overview".
    I have some good collection of documents though many i havent read myself. If you need them let me know.
