SRM Live Auction Applet

Hello SRM Experts,
We having SRM 5.0 classic scenario and LAC WPS 5.0. I created a Live Auction and the status are Ready, Aktiv, Published and Complete. I have also a LA session number, but when I use the Link "Live Auction" in AUC/BID Screen I got following Applet error message.
+Service cannot be reached
What has happened?
URL http://bitb72.sap.bitgv.de:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/_accessibility=0 call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
Note
The termination occurred in system B72 with error code 404 and for the reason Not found.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
What can I do?
Please select a valid URL.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.
ErrorCode:ICF-NF-http-c:000-u:SAPSYS-l:E-i:bitb72_B72_00-v:0-s:404-r:Notfound
HTTP 404 - Not found
Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team+
In the next step I was using the Live Auction Applet Smoke Test. After enter the Auc session number and the purchaser`s user name and password the message "Auction cannot be viewed in current status" appears in Pop-Up Window.
When I enter the Bidder´s user name and passwort the message "Your are not authorized to display the auction" appears in Pop-Up Window.
The Roles are like following:
Purchaser:
SAP_BBP_STAL_OPERAT_PURCHASER
SAP_EC_BBP_EMPLOYEE
SAP_EC_BBP_OP_PURCHASER
Bidder:
SAP_BBP_STAL_BIDDER
SAP_EC_BBP_BIDDER
I have no idea what the issue is. The smoke test looks fine all tests are on green light. Maybe there is a problem with vendor-BP-Bidder Relationship.
Thank you very much for your answer in advance.
Kind Regards
Axel

Surrogate bidding in SRM Live auction

Hi,
While doing surrogate bidding in SRM live auction, system gives following error,
"You are not authorised to display the auction"
What settings are required in customisation to bid in live auction on the behalf of supplier?
Thanks a ton
Regards,
NB

Proxy bidding enables the system to automatically bid on a bidders behalf, promoting competitive bidding by allowing bidders to more easily monitor the auction, since it is not necessary for them to enter bids manually.
ARE YOU WITHIN THESE PREREQUISITES?
a.) Proxy bidding can only be enabled for auctions that use the overall best bid validation.
b.) Proxy bidding can only be enabled if bid decrements greater than zero have been defined on all line items.
c.) Proxy bidding is not available in auctions with lots.
When proxy bidding is enabled, bidders submit a minimum bid to indicate the lowest they are willing to submit for a line item. The system then acts as a proxy agent and rapidly bids on line items on the bidders behalf during the auction, placing bids according to bidding parameters such as next valid bid, bid decrement, and reserve price to maintain the bidders leading position in an active auction until the auction ends or the minimum bid is reached.

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

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 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.

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).

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
Jagadish

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.
Regards,
Marcin Gajewski
