Usage of SAP Event Management as backend for custom mobile applications

Hi,
I'm am looking for an appropriate implementation approach for custom mobile applications as complement for warehouse processes with SAP Extended Warehouse Management.
Possible scenarios:
i) Goods issue - loading process
There are requirements like capturing of various data about the vehicle and load per RF handheld computer. The goal is to trace and archive them for analysis and reporting purposes.
ii) Goods receipt -production process
The production supply and goods receipt from production are realized in SAP EWM. The request is to collect data about the production process for quality reasons by use of RF devices.
You can picture oneself the additional mobile data entry activities during the various processes as predefined question catalogues with answer options.
The frontend - the additional mobile transactions can be realized with the EWM-Radio-Frequency-Framework, too. But I feel confindent that there is a better way to track, trace, store, analyse, report and archiv of the collected data to Y-TABLES.
Would you recommend to use SAP Event Management for this purpose to complement the SAP EWM processes?
The existing requirements as described above is in my understanding only a little fraction of the capabilities of SAP Event Management. The data collection and evaluation process is local within the warehouse. At first there is not requested any automatic system behaviour to particular events...
There are a lot material and information about SAP Event Management. But I havent found an easy getting started for my simple business scenario to enhance the EWM processes with the EM capabilities. How I could realize a question/anwer catalogue with the EM tools?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Laura

Hello Laura,
principally the process would fit for EM. But EWM is not integrated up to now to EM i.e. you would have to do the connection from EWM to EM by your own.
How to generally connect an application to EM is described here:
service.sap.com/scm
-> Event Managament
-> Technical Information
-> Connect SAP objects to SAP EM
Best regards,

New forum needed on SAP Event Management

I currently run 2 forums with around 300 users on SAP Event Management. I had to create private forums because none is available on SDN.
SAP Event Management is a seperate module that used to only exist on SAP SCM but it is now and add-on module for SAP ERP, SNC, AII and TM.
Who else sees the need for a forum for this incredibly useful tool?

i fully support the need of separate forum for SAP EM (or SCEM) . if you go back to the history in early 2000 when we first launched EM we use to have stand alone and i believe only in SCM40 it got merged and now again we have different deployment opportunities.
Considering cross industry functionality and applicability of SAP EM and specific industry like logistics and transportation industry, this need would be greatly justified.
I am not sure whether this specific request have been taken to SAP product management but in any case i am planning to approch sap product managers from my end as well.
Thank you for taking up this initiative.

How to install mdk in nwds for creating mobile applications

Hi experts,
how to install mdk in nwds for creating mobile applications?
reward points for appropriate answer.
Thank you,
G.V.K.Prasd

HI,
MDK is already integrated in NWDS. Separate MDK download is only necessary in case you want to use Eclipse as single DEV environmant without the full blown NWDS orwant to develop for earlier versions like MI7.0.
So very important: separate MDK does only support MI7.0 and earlier versions. If this is your intention, simply download MDK plugin, extract the folder, have a look into the download subfolder and you see the ECLIPSEPLUGIN.ZIP file in there. Unzip this as well and then put the related stuff into the FEATURES and the PLUGINS folder of Eclipse. After restarting Eclipse open the settings and add the buttons to the view and configure the correct settings for your system. This is the normal stuff like for every Eclipse plugin. Not 100% sure if this is not included in NWDS as well already.
If you are not sure about PLUGINS and FEATURES stuff and the configuration - the MDK itself has a great documentation that shows the steps you need to follow.

Oliver

Cloud for Customer Mobile app - Customization Options

Hello,
Can anyone please provide more details on the customization options for Cloud for Customer Mobile apps?
1. Is this a native application (which requires native language coding) or a hybrid/HTML5 based application.
2. Are customization's made to the browser based Cloud for Customer application for desktops also pushed out to the mobile apps?
3. I see the mobile app is available for iPhone, Android and iPad devices at this time. The iPad application has offline capabilities. Is this going to be offered to Android and iPhone apps soon?
Thanks,
Amandeep

Angela,
Can you clarify one thing for me in regards to adaptations made by an administrator. Example. If I as administrator create a new tab on the account view and then add some field extensions and publish, I can see those changes on the iPad but not the iPhone via the native app that is downloaded. It appears that the iPhone app has very limited features as compared to the iPad.
Can you confirm?
Thanks,
Jeff

Issue with Surveys/Checklist in SAP Sservice Manager 4.0 for PPC Platform

Hi All,
I am working with SAP Service Manager 4.0 application . I was checking the Surveys functionality in the standard application and came to know that the surveys functionality is not available in PPC platform.
However it is present for Iphone/Ipad platforms.
After a detailed check I found that the button which initiates the survey List screens are available in iphone/ipad but not in PPC . where as the Surveys List screens is available for all the 3 platforms iphone/ ipad / PPC .
Is this a issue in the standard application or the Surveys is not included for PPC platform.
Please clarify
Thanks and Regards
Neha Mahanty

The surveys functionality was not included for PPC platform in the Service Manager 4.0 release. There was I beleive a technical issue that prevented it from being included. It may be included in a future release.

Which SAP Solution Manager is preferable for ABAPER

Hello,
I am interested in SAP Solution Manager.
I am able to see 3 kinds in SAP Certifications. Which would be preferable to ABAPer
Thanks
Prashanth.

Hi Prasad,
If you are trying to install an R/3 SAP version ( highly unlikely as we already have ECC 6.0 and hardly new installations are on 4.7 etc) you would not require a Solman.
But if you are trying to connect to a R/3 system you sure can connect and require a solman to monitor or generate EWA etc...
If you have any other specific query please put it forward clearly.
Hope it helps - award points if helpful.

How to use Cache Management Library (CML) for custom applications?

Hello,
We are planning the migration of multiple applications (J2EE, Portal, Web-Dynpro for Java) from 7.01 to 7.3 and we would like to replace some custom cache implementations with a central cache management provided by the SAP Web-AS Java.
Several SAP standard services (e.g. UME, Configuration Manager, Scheduler) seems to use the "Cache Management Library" (CML):
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/4a/f833eb306628d2e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
Such caches can be monitored using SAP Management Console (AS Java Caches).
Portal Runtime (cache_type=CML) and Web Page Composer can also be configured to use CML:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/49/d822a779cf0e80e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2ru/helpdata/en/13/76db395a3140fcb17b8d24f5966766/frameset.htm]
So our questions:
How to use CML for custom applications?
Is there any example or documentation available?
Kind Regards,
Dirk

Training & Event Management - Billing - One Time customer

Hi All,
Would anybody be able to help us with the below scenarios, Thanks in advance for the help.
1. How do, I do Billing in Training & event management?
2. Can we have more than 1 one time customer for different departments in training & event management. if yes, what would be the process?
3. Integration table _T77S0,_ have only 1 one time customer as integration between training & event management and sales & distribution, but if we assign different one time customer at Attendee level, there is a confilict, how we can assing different one time customer for different attendees( say department wise)?
Thanking you.

Hi,
One time customer itself means that there is no regular transactions with this customer, so that is why a generic account is created for such customer and the transaction for various one time customers posted with such generic account.
The credit check is not relevant to the one time customer.
Regards,
Gaurav

PI Integration between SAP ERP system and Cloud for Customer

Hi,
We have set up integration between Cloud for Customer tenant and our SAP ERP system via PI.
For performing initial load, when we try to activate change pointers for Message types in the SALE transaction, we don't find the MATMAS_CFS and DEBMAS_CFS in the ERP system(IDES ECC 6.0 EhP6).
CODERINT 600(SP1 &2) are installed and BC set COD_BYD_ERP_INT is activated in the system.
Could anyone let us know what are we missing here, so that we can get the message types.
Also we tried using Message type MATMAS for sending a message from ERP to Cloud for Customer. In PI message monitoring, the status shows as 'Processed successfully', however we do not find the message in Business Communication Monitoring in the Cloud system. neither do we see the Business Object created for that Material master.
Please let me know how to debug such a scenario.
Regards,
Sangeeta

SAP JAM integration with Cloud for Customer

I'm in the middle of the setup of the SAP JAM to C4C integration and using the guide here https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100002202222015E/C4C_JAM_WP_1502.pdf.
In section 2.4.1.1, it says "Contact your SuccessFactor, SAP Jam customer support or administrator to get the SuccessFactors Secured
Token Service certificate for your SAPJam company."
Since it is the first time I deal with SuccessFactors, I have no idea who to contact to get this "signing certificate". Do I need to contact the SF Cloud support team or is that something I can get on my own from our SuccessFactors instance?
Cheers

Hi Thierry,
in general the guide refers to opening a ticket in the SuccessFactors support portal to request the ticket. As this is your first implementation you probably don't have a registered user in here.
Question:
Do you have someone else on the project/at the customer to help with the basic implementation of the SuccessFactors Platform? If yes, please ask this person to open a ticket with SuccessFactors support.
If not, then you can also open the ticket directly in C4C and it should be internally routed to the appropriate support contact.
Please note: In addition you will also need to do some basic configuration of the SuccessFactors Platform and SAP Jam. More information about initial steps to access and setup
the SuccessFactors Platform for SAP Jam can be found in the document „Setting up SAP Jam for Integration with other SAP Solutions” included in the package “SAP Best Practice for SAP Cloud for Customer Integration” available at http://service.sap.com/rds-cfc-erp
If you are interested in more information, please check out the respective training offerings for SuccessFactors Platform and SAP Jam available as "Academy Courses".
Hope this helps,
Ingo

SAP Jam Integration with Cloud For Customer error

Hello Experts,
We are integrating SAP Jam with Cloud for Customer tenant. We have followed the instructions that are mentioned in 1311 guide for SAP Jam integration.
But right now we are getting an error on SAP FEED work center and Account View.
Error that we are getting is as follows:
You are not authorized to access /c/C0000209652T.com/widget/v1/feed?wid=1&auth=single_use_token&skin=gr&faces=true&type=follows&num_items=30&avatar=true&live_update=true&mobile=false&post_mode=inline&reply_mode=inline&single_use_token=&locale=en
Kindly help us understand the mistake or step that we might have skipped.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandan Bankar

My example in the document deals with User ID as key_identifier.
ie., we need a unique key which is common to both servers so that we can identify accounts. This is done through assertion attribute exchange.
For eg, if I have an account with userID vatsav in C4C, then I must have an account with same userID in JAM (or vice versa) provided I set UserID for "Account Name Origin" in Step 10.
Doing this way, I am telling JAM that I am using UserID as an assertion attribute which identifies both my accounts in C4c and JAM without any problem. When you login into C4C using vatsav as UserID, it automatically searches feeds for same userID in JAM and displays them in Mashup.
It's a big concept actually. Implementation's already done by SAP.
Hope, I am clear.

Identify price [Derive dynamic pricing] related fields within sales quote output form in SAP cloud for customer CRM application

We have designed a Sales Quote Output Form using ADLC for SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C). We need to print both header and item level price details like Unit Price, Tax%, Tax Amount, Discount %, Discount value on the output form. We are now struggling to find the actual fields which will carry these values in the transaction. We are using multiple pricing procedures which have different condition types. The struggle is to find the actual condition type while generating the output. Can somebody guide which fields could carry these values which condition type. Can this be achieved without coding. Please guide.
I have added two screen shots for reference.

I am not sure I understand your question. What I think you are asking is in your data binding where is the data for fields in question. That is something you will need to get from whoever defined the data. The connection simply binds the data to your form but determining which field carries that data is not something this group would be able to help with. I would go back to your DBA and ask for a schema or DB reference to show which bindings will carry that data. Does that help?

Connector for custom built application

Hi all,
Can SAP IDM support custom application?
The application uses Oracle tables to store IDs, Roles, Passwords etc.
I am new to SAP IDM.
But I do have some experiences with Oracle IDM and IBM Tivoli IDM.
Thanks in advance,
dongsu.

So, with custom application do you mean an application that was developed from scratch in-house or in consulting project?
Then the answer is "no" for an out of the box connector to all applications. The integration depends on the APIs/technology the custom application supports and where in the end the access rights are provisioned. The only easy way (closest to out of the box) to provision rights to custom applications is when the custom application uses LDAP/AD as a user storage. You mentioned already Oracle database, it is not necessarily much more difficult than LDAP/AD if the operations translate to SQL sentences.
I think the work starts in understanding the access rights model and user management requirements in the custom application. Do you need only to create the user? Maintain several attributes for the user in the target system? Delete/inactivate the user? Would you need to provision different kind of access right levels / is the target system role based / how many roles? etc etc
Next thing is understanding how the provisioning works in IdM and how the SAP Provisioning Framework can be extended with your own plugins (plus what ever is needed).
Maybe you can post more information about the scenario for better answer..
