A universe from SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP BW 7.3... Possible?

Hello,
We are looking to create one universe from two SAP data sources;
1) SAP ECC 6.0 with EHP5 and
2) SAP BW 7.3
Can this be done?
In UDT there is a SAP BW connection that can satisfy need for cubes but connection to ECC is a challenge.
I think it's possible in in CR 2011 but exploring webi options.
Any suggestion / work around ?.
Thanks,

Hi,
With Feature Pack 03 (ramp up registration open now, and RU starts ~16 March), you will be able to use IDT driver to access ECC (R/3) data. and generate a universe.
In the current, 4.0 SP02 Patch2.x codeline, you cannot do the above.
today, You can create a Multi Source-enabled Universe (UNX in IDT) for relational BW-SQL access to underlying BW table schema (by passing OLAP engine and all BEx semantic concepts.)
But - if you have the XI 3.1 Data Federator product already - then you can go from IDT, and use the DF XI3.1 as a datasource into a UNX universe.
I have not tried combining BW-SQL and DF 3.1 connections into a MSU universe.
Yes, using CR 2011, you can consume ECC.
I'd recommend joining ramp up (go via your account team) and evaluating the new features asap.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

Difference Between SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP Solution

Dear Experts,
   We are in the process of implementing a new SAP Structure.
    We are taking a hosted model from vendor which is called SBH (Subscription Based Hosting) of SAP Solution
So my question to all experts is that, what is the exact difference between SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP Solution SBH model.
   If any comparison chart, it would be helfull.
Do reply asap.
Thanks in advance,
Nilesh Jain

Hi Nilesh,
Looking at the image below, you will find out that ECC6 is under SAP ERP, and SAP ERP is under SAP Solution:
SAP solution is of a bigger element and ECC 6 is a component of it.

What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

Hi All,
Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
Thanks

Hi Surya,
Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
From Shop floor:
shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

Diff in SAP ECC 6.0 and Netweaver

Hi Experts,
I am working as SAP ABAP Consultant.
I am new to SAP Netweaver with JAVA. I want to Learn SAP with JAVA also.
Can any one tell me whether the SAP 6.0 is used for SAP NetWeaver developement with java
or it needs some more than SAP ECC 6.0 for ABAP.
Which java is used mostly in SAP?
How to start learn JAVA for SAP?
Awaiting helpful reply
Thanks In advance,
Dhanu

Hi Dhananjay,
The SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS) defines the runtime environment both for Java- and ABAP-based applications in SAP NetWeaver. We refer to the Java-related parts of the server as SAP NetWeaver AS Java. The main part of SAP NetWeaver AS Java is the SAP J2EE Engine, a complete runtime system that can host applications in compliance with the J2EE 1.3 standard.
The SAP J2EE Engine supports all the techniques that became popularized by J2EE - JavaServer Pages, servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), etc. - so that applications can be ported with minimal effort to SAP NetWeaver AS Java. However, SAP NetWeaver AS Java offers additional functionality on top of what is required in the J2EE 1.3 standard.
Where should I store database tables of my combined ABAP/Java system?
The important information here is: Please keep the database storage of your Java- and ABAP-based components separate:
ABAP components access database tables stored in the ABAP database schema.
Java components access database data stored in the Java database schema.
Best, there is one database instance keeping both ABAP and Java schemas, namely the database instance that is already pre-configured during the SAP Web AS installation.
Can my Java program modify data in the ABAP database schema?
The important constraint is: In general, Java components do not access tables stored in the ABAP schema directly, via persistence APIs (for example, JDBC). Analogously, ABAP components cannot manipulate data in the Java schema.
Dont worry: Of course, Java components can read or modify data in the ABAP schema. But rather than accessing table data directly, they are intended to go around: In the Java code, you apply the application-level APIs (like SAP Java Resource Adapter API, web services, Adaptive RFC for Web Dynpro UIs) and ask the ABAP component to do the work on the database.
Can I integrate Java and ABAP components in the scope of an application?
Of course, you can combine Java and ABAP components in your systems. There are several technologies enabling reliable data exchange between them, like SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo), SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAP JRA), web services, and SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) to name some.
The below link helps u in understanding the connectors of java and sap.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5c6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm]
Using the SAP Java Connector
SAPs new Java middleware, the SAP Java Connector (JCO) allows customers and partners to easily build SAP-enabled components in Java. JCO supports both inbound (Java calls ABAP) and outbound (ABAP calls Java) calls in desktop and server applications.
In this Sample Program we connect to SAP and call two BAPIs.
Import statements: Any program using JCO should contain the following import statement:
import com.sap.mw.jco.*;
Otherwise, you have to fully qualify each class and interface which is very inconvenient.
Connecting to SAP
JCO.Client mConnection;
A connection (or session) with SAP is handled by class JCO.Client
try {
mConnection =
JCO.createClient("400", // SAP client
"c3026902", // userid
"********", // password
"EN", // language
"iwdf5020", // host name
"00"); // system number
mConnection.connect();
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
"A Client object is created via a call to createClient(). You can use a specific application server (as in the above code) or a server group (load balancing)." REFER the JCO Javadoc for the overloaded createClient() method for the latter possibility.
"The Client class's connect () method tries to log on to SAP. If that fails for any reason, an exception is thrown. If the call succeeds, we can now stay connected for as long as we like. When we are done, we can call disconnect () to explicitly log off."
Thankyou
Regards.

Integration of SAP ECC 6.0 with SAP Environmental Compliance 3.0

Hi Friends,
We have SAP ECC 6.0 running on Sun Solaris with Oracle as the DB. Now we are in the process of installing SAP Environmental Compliance Version 3.0 which is running in Windows 2008 Server and with SQL Server 2008 as its database.
I'm looking for an answer on how to integrate the SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP EC(Environmental Compliance) system.
Kindly provide your valuable inputs.Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Thanks and Regards,
Vimal

Hello Vimal
regarding this software a number of publications are available:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ec30/EC300_FuncDocu_EN.pdf
Here you will find the list of rerequisites etc. and the integration e.g. into SAP EHS Management is explained.
In any case. The SAP marketplace is the right place to take a look regarding prerequisites and how to integrate this software with SAP core (SAP ECC 6.0) or with SAP EHS Management software.
As SAP EHS Management is technically part of ECC 6.0 the link to SAP Enviromental Compliance should be possible.
With best regards
C.B.

The difference SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite and SAP BusinessObjects EDGE BI Suite

Hi all,
Would you please explain what is the difference of SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite and SAP BusinessObjects EDGE BI Suite..?

Key difference:
Edge BI Suite does not allow you to do clustering of nodes, but the BI Suite does. This flexibility is restricted in Edge - so it's a single server setup.
Both SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI and SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise share the same underlying platform and tools. The difference is that Edge BI is designed and priced for mid-sized organizations, and is therefore licensed differently.
SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI is licensed for both named-user licenses and concurrent access licenses (CAL). While named-user licenses are appropriate for users who are active in the system throughout most of the day, the concurrent access license provides an economical way to support casual system users. A single CAL license will typically support 5-10 users, depending on the type of usage they require.
While Enterprise (BI Suite) can be implemented for unlimited users across multiple servers and includes clustering and failover capabilities, Edge BI is restricted to a single server and a user count more appropriate for mid-sized organizations.
You can always upgrade to SAP BI Suite if requirement grows and easily migrate all of your BI content including users, groups, reports, dashboards and universes.
The decision now depends on your investment and the allocated budget. I hope this helps.
