SAP CAD Integration

Hi
Can anybody tell me how to integrate SAP And AutoCAD.
what I require is , I can get the design parameters from SAP . With these Design parameters, I need an Auto CAD Drawing Directly.
Regards,
Shrini

Hi,
In fact in the latest SAP ERP versions (4.7 and upward), the CAD integration is done using a single transaction called CAD-Desktop in R/3.
This interface gives an overview of all the files used, linked to a specified BOM for example.
But the actual link with the CAD system is specific to each CAD system, and the possibilities depend directly on the interface you have.
I used the AutoCAD interface 3 years ago, and it was quite poor ... what you need to do is to check the precise list of functionnalities offered by the developper of the interface.
What you see end read on the SAP side is just the maximum you can have !
Regards

Tips to work with heavy SE/SW assemblies -CAD Integration

Hello All,
I am associated with SAP-Cad Integration for Solid Edge and Solid Work Applications. My concern is when working with large/heavy assembly structures.
What can be the few tips so that heavy data download from SAP Content server to local working directories can flow in less time and less likelihood of system getting crashed. Also is there something like a time period involved in CDESK by which if all assemblies or parts dont download, it crashes. If yes how can the time be increased. Basically how to improve efficiency while working with heavy assemblies for Solid Edge/Solid Work through CDESK
All useful answers would be awarded points.
thanks in advance.
Sachin

Thats abs right.
in system preferences > register doc
what u set here will take the name for hard disk.
actually it should take DocumentNumber_descrip.par
and likewise
even if u dont do this, it ok..

SAP connector for CAD Integration with Unigraphics (NX)

Hi Experts,
Could you please guide me on where can I download CAD Integration connector for Unigraphics (NX).
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Neil

Thank you very much for the useful link Martin. Anyway, there are some things that I cannot find for NX Unigraphics integration:
In the wiki you can find
You can download the CAD-Integration-Software from http://service.sap.com/swdc and then goto
Installations and Upgrades > Supplementary Components for Cross Industry Solutions > Life-Cycle Data Management > SAP PLM Integrations > select the desired integration
But that path does not exist in SAP download software page.
Also, in the availability matrix I can find integration with several systems (catia, solid edge, autocad...) but not unigraphics.
Could you please provide some more information on the topic?
Thanks a lot.

CAD integration with sap

could any CAD integration experts give me some integration capability documents? i'm new to this area, just want to know the integration points between the cad and sap...for example: I've read some material, it saids that when the CAD design is near to complete, the material used in CAD will be transferred to SAPu2026
The question is: how the CAD material is integrated with SAP material master data? is this two different set of material master data? thanks in advance!

Hi,
It is not required to use interface only when the design is completed in CAD..these interfaces are bulit in such a way it will support complete CAD document life cycle ...

Questions on Cad Integration- Solid Edge and Solid Works

Hello All,
I had the following questions related to CAD Integration:
1. I have my CAD files saved in working directory. I create DIR for them from CDESK (Cad View - Create Document) and want to rename the files as Document Number_Document Description. How can I achieve the same. Again, I want to do the same from CDESK (CAD VIEW)
2. On Solid Edge CAD integration, I have noticed sometimes when I register the DLL's the 'User/System Preferences from SAP-PLM' on Solid Edge side does not pop up. Can someone tell me what might be the reason and how to fix it. Also if I already registered the DLL's and want to clean them (remove them), so that to try to register DLL's again, where can I go to remove them from Windows registery file
3. In Solis Edge is it necessary to check in and check out the SEC application (representing .cfg ) in SEA document type. I have noticed if I have the .cfg in my working directory and I check in SEA without .cfg and if some other person checks out the SEA, the .cfg gets created for him on the fly in his working directory.
Thanks in advance,
Sachin

Hello Sachin,
1. please have a look at and implement note 645365 - "CDESK: Attaching Solid Edge .cfg file when creating doc.".
2. If you registered the DLL's once and you want to update them, you only have to copy and replace the old ones with the new ones. You do not have to un-register the old ones.
The problem with the disappearing Menu-Items or symbols can only be solved by restoring the SolidEdge-Registry-Path...
3. You can only checkout the CFG-Files if you use the CAD-Desktop.
You have to add the WSAPPL SEC (*.cfg) to the applications in the CDESK_CUS.
(CHECKIN, CHECKOUT and COPY)
Stefan.

KPRO for CAD Integration

Hello All.
Just wanted to cross check this from you. We have CAD Integrated with SAP.
1. We have Dev Box, Q Box and P Box. I would need a KPRO on 3 different boxes. Am I correct ? Also do I have to change setting in SPRO in Dev, Q, and P to point to the respective correct Box - how do I do this.
2. Also in Q-Box we have 2 different clients EQ50 and EQ100. Am I correct to say we will use the same EQ box and Partition it for EQ50 and EQ100, so that when I work in EQ50 the files can be saved in Partition in KPRO for EQ50 and when I work in EQ100, the files can be saved in different Partition. How to make this partition in KPRO and also how do I change SPRO config for KPRO for EQ50 and EQ100, to point to correct partition.

CAD Integration

Hi, hopefully the experts will be able to give me some info regarding cad integration:
I am trying to inegrate SolidWorks with SAP, I am at a point where I try to save the EBOM to SAP, the interface tries to save to SAP but it generates an error(error while checking in...) as it tries to check-in the files into the content server as the files is still active/open in solidworks. What is the correct procedure to save the drawings to SAP through the cad inegration functionality? The SAP content server does not want to check-in files if it is still open in the application?

Hi,
I have worked in AutoCAD(2D) integration and Pro/E(3D) Integration. I dont know about Solid works.
But the functionalities of all the integration softwares are mostly same.
1) To save the Assembly files and part files, you need to create two document types. Hope u have done all these configurations.
Once you are ready with all ur settings.
Goto CAD Desktop select the part file and create the document by selecting the proper Document type, then select the Assembly file and create the document by selecting the proper document type.
Then Check-in the file from CAD Desktop by selecting the appropriate content repository.
like that the Materials and BOMs can also be created directly from CAD Desktop.
functionality wise i can help you but not technical wise as im not aware of solid works.
Sorry i dont have any training materials for Solid works.
Regards,
MRK.

Catia - SAP Direct Integration

Hi
We want to use Catia V5 - SAP CDI V2.3 wit our ERP 2005 system. We've a
cd numbered 51031413. System requirement and setup guide included in
this cd has not enough information for our ERP release. Are there any
updated guide with information about ERP 2005? How can we use CDI V2.3
with ERP 2005 (sp level, restrictions,.. etc...). Can we run CDI on our
ERP development system? Does this cause any problem?
Best Regards...

Hello Savas,
there are not restrictions regarding the ERP release or SP level, as the CAD Integration software is communicating with standardized APIs (BAPIs). And they have not changed to ERP 2005.
Greetings

How easy is CAD Integration out-of box

Hi All
I am new to cad integration and we have downloaded Integrators from Service-sap for nx.
1) How easy will it be, the integration to NX system to SAP(out of Box-CD)?
2) Running the Integartion CD..will this automaticly do all the necessary configuration between NX and SAP?
3) How much config Do in GENERAL we have to do? I am only a DMS Business Analyst.
Thank you in advance.
Jim.P

Hello Peter,
Its not just executing the file. There are many other things which have to be done for the NX integrati tork.
You have to import the Table entries and BADIs provided with the installation.
Also you may have to use the templates, configure for title block integration to work.
Plan content server architecture etc...
Most important is you may have to migrate data. Apply many pathces for which you have to contact DSC.

UCCX 8.5: CSQ Name Displayed in CAD Integrated Broswer?

Cisco Forum:
Can UCCX 8.5 for the Cisco Agent Desktop (CAD) provide the CSQ Name in the Integrated Broswer portion of the CAD? That is, the CAD can be used to pop a web link to agents on incoming calls. While the CAD can show the CSQ Name by default, it does so in a reasonable small font amid other data. Can some call script variable be set for the CSQ Name which would then be used to dynamically pop a unique web link on CAD Integrated Browser which would then display whatever is configured as a web link to display?
As an alternative, can agents using the CAD also have a IP Phone display of the CSQ Name.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
Dan

Before you can pass the CSQ name to the integrated browser you must first have the script pass the CSQ name to the CAD. It needs to show in the top left panel where the ANI is currently displayed.
See this link for an example of how to create a layout and the script changes to pass a value to CAD.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3478154#3478154
You can then build a dynamic URL in the desktop administrator with the CSQ name.
Please rate helpful posts.

This could be the problem . In your portal , copy the pcd path of a folder under which you would like to place this report and paste it in the bex analyser while publishing (pcd link) , see if this helps . A few more points .
1) You can also publish these queries as reports in portal using Bex Query designer - there will be an option to publish in portal . You will see it depending upon the version of designer. If you are able to see that option , selecting the pcd location would require you to have content admin role in portal .
2) Manually create iviews in portal (BI Reports) using the query string given to you by your BI folks . You can create either Bex 3.X or 7.0 depending upon the query string .

SAP Portal Integration with InfoView

Hi Experts,
I have successfully configured SAP Portal Integration with InfoView using the following steps provided by Ingo:
- set the system that you want to be authenticated against as the DEFAULT system in the options of the SAP authentication.
- go to the webapps folder of your app server and navigate to the InfOView folder
For the Java version of InfoView (Windows environment) you need to edit the file web.xml, which is located (assuming Tomcat as application server) in the directory \Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF for the actual deployment.
In addition you can make the change to the file in the folder <INSTALLDIR>\BusinessObjects Enterprise12.0\warfiles\WebApps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF. The files in the second locations are being used when you redeploy the web applications with a tool like wdeploy. You need to change the following values
authentication.default = secSAPR3
siteminder.enabled = False
sso.enabled = True
Then I have created URLiView to InfoView login page, when the user click on the link, BOBJ will use the DEFAULT system to authenticate user.
However, there is a new requirement for users who exist in another SAP system to SSO into InfoView too. My question is whether we can specify in URLiView url or other configuration to select which SAP System to authenticate user on?
I would like to create Role A and Role B in Portal and each will display different URLiView that will authenticate user against different SAP System if possible.
Appreciate your advise.
Regards,
Medy

Hi Ingo,
Thank you for your reply.
We are trying to create an URLiView to the logon page of InfoView: http://<BOBJ Server>/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp that will bring the user to InfoView home if SSO passed instead of OpenDocument URL.
I have tried to add URL parameters to the URLiView (http://<BOBJ Server>//InfoViewApp/logon.jsp?SAP_SYSID=DCD&SAP_CLIENT=200), but InfoView is still using the default system in CMC to authenticate user.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
Medy
