ABAP Mapbox CRM 7.0 for a Multiple Backend Scenario

Dear SDN community members,
In our project we have one CRM system connected to three ERPs. For this reason we try to use the ABAP MAPBOX functionality for the customizing and master data mapping. In the process of the initial download of CUSTOMER_MAIN object we take the following error :No table entry found: 'CUST_REL'/'CRTCLNT100', Service that caused the error: SMW3_OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS. As we have read on the CRM 7.0 the ABAP MAPBOX is part of the ABAP stack of CRM and for this reason we do not create RFC connection for the MAPBOX. Is this correct ?
Does anyone have any idea about the problem above ? Also is there any technical documentation for the customizing steps that are needed for the scenario of multiple backend systems ?
Thanks in advance,
John Syrigos

Hi John, our project is facing the same requirement, multiple ECC 5.0/6.0 back ends. Were you successful in the integration and MapBox activation and can you give me any lessons learned in your experience?
thanks
Glenn

set-up.
And If any one of you have already implemented MEP Scenario in the SAP CRM Landscape, Could you please help us to provide with the Configuration Steps / Documents, so that we can proceed further.
Below are the following Queries:
For Customizing Adapter Object:
1) Does MEP Concept support the Customizing Adapter object to download from more than one ECC System to single CRM System.
    If Yes, Could you please provide the Configuration steps or Procedure to download the customizing data.
For Master Adapter Object:
2) The Adapter objects for Master Data like Customer and Materials are technically supported under MEP for the data exchange.
     However, is it possible to download the Equipments Master Data from more than one ECC System to single CRM System?
     If Yes, Could you please provide the steps or Procedure to download the Equipments Master Data.

Role of clients in CRM Multiple Backend Scenario

Does the CRM Multiple Backend Scenario only apply to a single client pointed to multiple CRM or ERP systems.
All the relevant tables are client dependent in CRM 2007 and the client independent ones use logical destinations which can easily be pointed todifferent clients.
We want to point different clients on a CRM or ERP system to multiple back ends, but each client will only have a single client that it points to.
For example
CRM (dev) client 100 is connected to ERP (sandbox) client 100
CRM (dev) client 200 is connected to ERP (dev) client 100
CRM (test) client 100 is connected to ERP (qa) client 100
CRM (qa) client 100 is connected to ERP (qa) client 200
This will only be in the development and qa systems. Production will be a single system and client on each side.
Regards,
Aubrey Smith

Aubrey,
Development will happen in only one client system. This can later be moved to Quality and further to production. All customization will also be moved same way. It may also happen that your development is cross client so if you do development on 100 , it will be available on 200 client as well.

Harshit

How UWL support substitution in multiple backend scenario?

Hello experts,
We are using UWL with multiple backend - 3 ERPs. If I define a substitution rule in portal, I think this rule will be replicated in all the 3 ERPs otherwise my substitute in the backend could not get my work items in UWL. Is it correct? Do you have more information about this topic?
thank you for your help in advance!
Best Regards,
Huaiyang

Dear Huaiyang,
You are right, if you have multiple systems connected to UWL , then substitution set via UWL has been entered in all systems.
However it is not possible to restrict substition settings to a particular system. If the user set a substitution via UWL, then it will be set in all connected system as well. UWL set the substitution at backend level in the normal substituion table HRUS_D2.
Hope this helps.

Best Practices for FSCM Multiple systems scenario

Hi guys,
We have a scenario to implement FSCM credit, collections and dispute management solution for our landscape comprising the following:
a 4.6c system
a 4.7 system
an ECC 5 system
2 ECC6 systems
I have documented my design, but would like to double check and rob minds with colleagues regarding the following areas/questions.
Business partner replication and synchronization: what is the best practice for the initial replication of customers in each of the different systems to business partners in the FSCM system? (a) for the initial creation, and (b) for on-going synchronization of new customers and changes to existing customers?
Credit Management: what is the best practice for update of exposures from SD and FI-AR from each of the different systems? Should this be real-time for each transaction from SD and AR (synchronous) or periodic, say once a day? (assuming we can control this in the BADI)
Is there any particular point to note in dispute management?
Any other general note regarding this scenario?
Thanks in advance. Comments appreciated.

Hi,
I guess when you've the informations that the SAP can read and take some action, has to be asynchronous (from non-SAP to FSCM);
But when the credit analysis is done by non-SAP and like an 'Experian', SAP send the informations with invoices paid and not paid and this non-SAP group give a rate for this customer. All banks and big companies in the world does the same. And for this, you've the synchronous interface. This interface will updated the FSCM-CR (Credit), blocking or not the vendor, decreasing or increasing them limit amount to buy.
So, for these 1.000 sales orders, you'll have to think with PI in how to create an interface for this volume? What parameters SAP does has to check? There's an time interval to receive and send back? Will be a synchronous or asynchronous?
Contact your PI to help think in this information exchange.
Am I clear in your question?

Creation of sales order in CRM and replicating it to Multiple ECC system.

We have a requirement for creation of sales order in CRM and replicating it to Multiple ECC system.
We have checked the following standard Adapter objects in transaction R3AC1.
BUS_TRANS_MSG
The initial flow contexts does not support target site type as R/3(SMOF_ ERPSITE). So we are not able to replicate the sales order from CRM
to ECC.
2. SALESDOCUMENT
Here the initial flow contexts does not support flow from CRM -> R/3 as we don’t see the target site as CRM.
Please let us know if the standard sap middleware objects don’t support the sales order flow from CRM to multiple ECC or is there any
other adapter object we need to use for this.

Hey Vijay Duvvada,
I hope you are already referred below sap note and which explains scope & how to do -
1084315 - Consulting: Information about the multiple backend scenario
1763516 - How-to: Basic Setup of MEP
As explained by Rohit Sharma data should be start flowing to multiple sites.
please let me know if it does help.

Multiple Backend Connected to the same SRM client.

Hello All,
We have an interesting requirement.
We have an SRM 5.0 client with R/3 4.7 backend. Now we need to add another instance of ECC 5.0 to be connected to the same SRM client ( either on the same org stucture or a different org structure).
I am facing difficulty in doing the material replication.
I have the inbound queue in SRM blocked and I and getting the error message LOGSYS_FOR_GUID_CHANGED.
This lead me to the notes 588701 and 765018. But I am not sure this would actually solve the problem.
I have also seen the following thread which indicated that one CRM client should point to only one R/3 instance.
Downloading basic R/3 objects into CRM with brand new systems
Has any one so for integrated multiple backends to the same SRM client? What was your approch to the requirement? Inviting your views and opinions to this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Ajith

Hi
You can implement corrections in the note 765018 as you mentioned in your post.
We have done the same thing. In case of multiple backends and also if systems are refreshed with other instances (client copy), the logical system ID will be changed.
So we need to run the report mentioned in the said note and run the replication.

Multiple Backends, e-Sourcing

Hi all, we have positioned e-Sourcing at a client that now intends to integrate to multiple backends. With the SAP Consulting Note (OSS), we can interface e-Sourcing to a single backend. Does anyone have any experience with integrating to multiple backends? Some of our initial white board sessions to resolve this include:
1. Writing some code/scripts or mapping with PI/XI to mimic the SRM BADI "determine logical system" to route the contract back to the appropriate R3.
2. Using the Portal function "Composite Application Framework" to facilitate the selection of appropriate backend systems.
If anyone has experience or comments, please provide details or point me to some documentation to support this effort. I assume someone has addressed this previously. thank you.
regards,
gary

Hi Gary
We are also looking at implementing the Multiple Backend scenarios for SAp E-Sourcing integration with SAP R/3
We understand that SAP will offer this as an interface from version 6.0 onwards, however this release as of now has been cancelled and are now looking at SAp E-Sourcing version 5.1 that will have the Multiple Backend integration
Just to add to your views, we can still looking at using the splitter functionality in SAP XI to help push the messages to the respective multiple backends, however we need to create fresh Interfaces that will be used to Push from SAP E-Sourcing to SAP R/3 XML messages routed through XI
We have to take these as development initiatives and address the multiple backend integration
However, if you are able to hold on till version 5.1 is released in Q2, 2008, you need not develop these interfaces, incase its the project requirement at the moment, then you can go ahead and develop these interfaces in XI
Incase you can share some information on the Single Backend integration, please feel free to send them to [email protected]
Let me know if you need more information on your subject,and the decision you finally take to address your issue

Hi experts,
I want to include a abap routine in the infopackage for Multiple Selection so that I can fetch only the required Material Numbers when the InfoPackage is schedule. As I have the constraints that I have to select certain Material Numbers only, that are not in series - so I cannot select"BT' fuction. Tell me what ABAP Code will work in this scenario.
Kind regards,

Forming generic sql query   for joining multiple sap tables in ABAp

Hi,
I am new to this abap field ,facing an issue onsap-jco project . I have used RFC_READ_TABLE FM ,Customized this FM but facing an issue how to write generic open SQl select statement for joining multiple tables using RFC_READ_TABLE .Kindly help on this issue.
Thanks.

something like this? If your tuples are not single columns, then you'll have to use dynamic sql to achieve the same result.with
table_1 as
(select '|Xyz|Abc|Def|' tuple from dual
table_2 as
(select '|Data1|Data21|Data31|Data41|Data51|' tuple from dual union all
select '|Data2|Data22|Data32|Data42|Data52|' tuple from dual union all
select '|Data3|Data23|Data33|Data43|Data53|' tuple from dual union all
select '|Data4|Data24|Data34|Data44|Data54|' tuple from dual union all
select '|Data5|Data25|Data35|Data45|Data55|' tuple from dual
select case the_row when 1
                    then tuple
                    else '|---|---|' || substr(tuple,instr(tuple,'|',1,3) + 1)
       end tuple
from (select substr(a.tuple,instr(a.tuple,'|',:one_one),instr(a.tuple,'|',:one_one + 1)) ||
               substr(a.tuple,instr(a.tuple,'|',1,:one_two) + 1,instr(a.tuple,'|',1,:one_two + 1) - instr(a.tuple,'|',1,:one_two)) ||
               substr(b.tuple,instr(b.tuple,'|',1,:two_one) + 1,instr(b.tuple,'|',1,:two_one + 1) - instr(b.tuple,'|',1,:two_one)) ||
               substr(b.tuple,instr(b.tuple,'|',1,:two_two) + 1,instr(b.tuple,'|',1,:two_two + 1) - instr(b.tuple,'|',1,:two_two)) tuple,
               rownum the_row
          from table_1 a,table_2 b

ABAP Mapbox Troubleshooting Guide

currently, I do have the situation, that no new activities are transferred to groupware (lotus). I am using ABAP Mapbox in CRM Release 5.0. Update messages on older activities do work!
regarding the troubleshooting guide by mr. stephenson in this forum, I do have the following questions:
1.) How can I figure out, whether a xml-message (iCal or vCard) has been generated by the Mapbox. I do have the BDoc-Id (out of smw01) but i dont find entries in CRMD_MBA_GUISTOR. This table contains 1,2 million entries which makes it hard to find the specific message, since that table doesnot contain a timestamp.
I turned on Trace in ISPCFG and I see in GWA_01 out trace, that my message (with tRFC-ID) seems to be processed, but I dont know, how? Meaning, I dont get an error or a info, if there was nothing to do,...
2.) How can I restart the "Abap Mapbox" or bring it to an consistent starting state?
3.) what is the relation between the tables? Any documentation available
CRMD_MBA_GUISTOR.
CRMD_MBA_MSGSTOR.
CMWD_MBF_PAIR.

current investigation results:
1.) since the bdic-id generation seems to be sequential, the table CRMD_MBA_GUISTOR can be sorted by mbkey. if your message doesn't apperar in the end, no message is generated. Attention: don't how update behaves, so make sure you cteate new activities.
as mentioned before, the ISP trace is less usefull
2.) and 3.) still open
ABAP Mapbox logging
It might be usefull, to turn on "logging". This can be done in table ISPCFG:
a.) Find the row CRM_MAPBOX and set PARVAL2=X.
b.) run your test
c.) run transaction SLG1, you might filter on your user.
The output of logging indicates basic processing info. For my issue it didn't help, maybe for yours. I figured out, that a strange/ wrong "Ansprechpartner" Relation was missing on the activity. Therefore no email could be found and therefore no message has been generated.

ABAP MAPBOX Issue/question

Iu2019m working on the CRM/Outlook integration and appear to be having a problem with implementing the ABAP MapBox component. Based on the documentation Iu2019ve found for the ABAP version there isnu2019t much to do. The configuration below has been implemented and it doesnu2019t like MAPBOX as the Program ID u2013 I got this bit of configuration from the GroupWare Adapter Customizing and User Guide.
Do I need to follow the instructions on note #1066515 which states I should contact SAP prior?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
