Thnx n cheers
Nalina

hi
every thing has demand , depends upon ur skills level ,
any how u have to improve ur coding skills , more then that conceptual level ,
      when ever u working on SAP , ABAP is base u mast be very comfertable with it.
      BI and XI are more related modules for a technical developer then CRM , even XI is first in queue.
XI earlier know as Exchange Infrastructure now also knows as Process Integration ,
    Basic purpose of XI is to give best possible integration b/w two system , weather SAP to SAP or SAP to Non-SAP system.
     it based on XML based messaging .
BIW/BI is for Database optimization , to performance enhancement .
it is used to manipulates data to generates reports to help management for decision making . it has all programing process like ABAP.
CRM is more a functional module rather then technical , but it also based on Netweaver Technology and WebDynpro so it require technical skills .

For R/3 to CRM Scenario ,creating ABAP Proxy for CRM which is in Target

In R/3 to CRM scenario it is ok creating ABAP Proxy for CRM which is Target system.if it is possible it is Client Proxy.it is correct or not

Hi,
Client Proxy. When you need to create Proxy for your Sender system then the proxy is generated on the client side and the Class created in Proxy generation is called in a report/FM etc.
Server proxy. The server proxy is created when you are sending the data from SAP XI to the receiving system.
The generation of proxy in both the cases happens on the sender or the receiver system.

ABAP requirements in CRM

Friends,
I am an ABAP programmer and have started learning SAP CRM. Can someone tell me how ABAP integrates with CRM.
Thanks.
-cbk

CBK,
Okay the answer is what business process do you want to support?
-- Sales Force Automation/Mobile Sales
-- Pricing/IPC
-- E-Commerce/Internet Sales
-- Call Center Management/Interaction Center
-- Marketing
-- Plus many more...
Based on the business process you want to support, it will require different technical skills. In general I recommend learning the following:
Classroom
- Take the SAP CRM Technical Overview Class, CR555. It won't cover all the details but will help.
- Take a CRM customizing class in the business area you will be supporting.
Self Study
-- http://service.sap.com/crm - Read and download every piece of material on CRM you can find there
-- There is an Online Knowledge Product for CRM 40 that SAP produces that is worth the cost. You get code and configuration tutorials for this.
-- http://help.sap.com - Read this
-- There is a book on CRM published by SAP Press
Practical
-- Start learning on a CRM 40 system. CRM is no different than any SAP solution. Until you get your hands dirty using the software, you will never learn how it works.
Someday somebody will write a decent ABAP development guide for CRM. However until that somebody gets time to write that book, some weblogs will be published in the in between period. I personally want to write a few more CRM weblogs, however I been on a CRM mini-project for the last month.
If anyone has suggestions of CRM ABAP development topics you would like to see as a weblog please post it here. I will pick one topic suggested that I am able to elborate on further as a weblog.
Take care,
Stephen

ABAP & Workflow for CRM

Hello Buddies,
I have seen so mail threads somewhat near to my doubt but could you please tell me some good link for learning ABAP & Workflow for CRM. Also please advise me, being ABAP-Workflow Consultant which section of CRM is best suitable for me.
Thanks in advance. Your guidance is appreciated.
Warm Regards,
N. Singh

Hi,
ABAP and Workflow for CRM is nothing different and specific to CRM. They are same and at least all the basic concepts are present. There might be some implementation and conceptual differences but they are more of functionality driven.
You start learning SAP CRM Fucntionality which will help you to understand SAP CRM much better. And then you can have a feel of the CRM feature and where and how it's been used to drive the ABAP and Workflow functionality.
Hope this helps. You can scan the forum for good links and resources.

ABAP WD in CRM 5.1 WebClient

Hello,
Our project includes ECC, CRM 5.1, SRM6.0 and Portal.
The CRM 5.1 UI technology is BSP WebClient.
SRM UI technology is ABAP WebDynpro.
For our portal customers and vendors self-service, we have decided that ABAP WebDynpro will be used for new developments.
If I need to develop new and simple web quote screens for our customer on the portal, can I mix ABAP webdynpro with CRM WebClient? For example, can I create a ABAP WD view and use existing classes used in the WebClient as controllers or is it better to stick with BSP webclient for this case?
Thanks

Hello,
Do you have any solution to your problem. Can you share with us how did you implement it? what was your findings. Thanks.

Having multiple J2EE stacks connected to one CRM ABAP instance for CRM IPC

Hello Experts,
The situation we were looking at is this.
We have 3 distinct teams doing Java development for CRM IPC configurators
Team A - IPC/Ecommerce
Team B - UI
Team C - Order Wrapper
They each wanted to do development in their own landscape (Java Stack)
Additionally, two more landscapes are needed:
a landscape for end 2 end testing of the configuration scenarios
another for a Performance Assessment
To get 5 full dual stack CRM instances was deemed unlikely.
Trying to explore if multiple J2EE's, can be connected to one CRM ABAP system.
It seems we can not, as the CRM ABAP to JEE comminucation is via RFC and there is excatly one RFC_Destination defined per CRM (across all clients). Is this correct?
Thanks
Rocky

May be you can wordsmith your requirement to make it clear what each team is doing. Also, please mention what version of CRM / IPC you are talking about.
From what you have said, I guess IPC/E-Commerce is E-Commerce enhancement. If NWDI is in the picture, you have one track for this enhancement.
The UI - I assume is IPC UI. This is also a Java based web application that shares the same Java stack with the E-Commerce application.
What is Order Wrapper? - If it a custom web application you guys are into, I still don't see why they can't use the same Java "stack".
In the development lifecycle, it is sufficient to have only one IPC environment for each phase. The development team needs only one, unless they have a valid reason to have their own Java stack. I bet they need only one.
If the developers are asking about "Sandbox", they can have their own NetWeaver Developer Workplace in their laptop / desktop.

You can debug in abap by placing a "/h" while executing your program,.place the "/h" in the bar where you type in your tcodes.
alternatively, you can set breakpoints in your source code and then run it.

ABAP debugging in CRM ISA B2C application

Hi gurus !
I need to debug FM 'CRM_ISA_BASKET_ORDER' to monitor some values in a CRM ISA 4.0 B2C application. The FM is stateful and I have set the necessary parameters in modification-config.xml file. However, when running the CRM ISA 4.0 B2C application from a remote client, I do not get the SAPGUI popping up as given in the SAP_ISA4DevExtG10.pdf documentation. Have I missed any setting ? Is there anything else that I need to complete to get the SAPGUI to popup to debug the FM ?
Cheers,
Ashok.

- Did you set an external break point or just a session break point?
- Did you set the RFC-user in SAPGUI as debug user? Utilities -> Settings -> ABAP Editor -> Debugging -> External Debugging: Here should be the RFC user of the B2C application.

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

Upgrade of CRM 5.0 abap and java

Hi,
I have to upgrade CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0 with EhP1. In my system landscape, CRM 5.0 ABAP (CRA) and CRM 5.0 Java (CRJ) are installed on different servers. CRJ is a portal available for end user for which CRA is acting as backend server and database. I have experienced that when we install CRM 7.0, installer automatically creates 2 seperate instances each for abap and java. I am not able to presume what exactly will happen in this kind of upgrade. My doubts are:
1. Will this upgrade CRA (abap) and CRJ (java) seperately on different server? and i connect them as i am doing currently (CRA being the UME for CRJ)?
2. While upgrading CRA, upgrade tool will ask the path of CRJ and both the instance will be upgraded simultaneously. And CRJ will behave as web ui instance after upgrade.
3. CRA will be upgraded and a new instance for WebUI will be created (let us call it CRW) and i will connect CRW with CRJ for all practical purposes? where CRJ will act as portal for CRW.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Hi,
> 1. Will this upgrade CRA (abap) and CRJ (java) seperately on different server? and i connect them as i am doing currently (CRA being the UME for CRJ)?
Yes. You need to upgrade both the servers separately. You need not to reconnect it as both the systems are already connected with each other.
> 2. While upgrading CRA, upgrade tool will ask the path of CRJ and both the instance will be upgraded simultaneously. And CRJ will behave as web ui instance after upgrade.
> 3. CRA will be upgraded and a new instance for WebUI will be created (let us call it CRW) and i will connect CRW with CRJ for all practical purposes? where CRJ will act as portal for CRW.
>
No, new instance will be created. You need to upgrade CRA and CRJ separately. WEBUI will be automatically upgraded.
Thanks

ABAP+Java - MSCS Configuration on Web AS 640

Hi
We are in the process of migrating our CRM 4.0 running Web AS 620 (ABAP+J2EE) to CRM 4.0 Web AS 640 (ABAP +J2EE) on Windows 64 bit Microsoft cluster with Oracle 10g.
I have gone thru lot of installation guides for ABAP + J2EE (640) and do not find the steps for adding J2EE Server (640) to the Cluster.
As per the various guides, I believe the following procedure is right:
1) Install CI (ABAP)
2) Install Database Instance
3) MSCS Node A Configuration
4) MSCS Node B Configuration
5) Select Java Add-in for ABAP - Oracle (SAPINST)
    - SCS Installation
    - Java Database Schema Installation
    - Central Instance Finanlization
I am not sure about the Step 5, as I would have choosen Java System Finalization option under Java Add-in for ABAP (Oracle) in the Central System installation. If I choose Jaa System Finalization, the step 3 & 4 would be choosen after the Java System Finalisation.
Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Chandu

Hi
Just to update on my progress.
I noticed there are different options in SAPINST for 32 bit & 64 bit. If you adding Java add-on to ABAP on 32 bit, the said SAP note needs to be implemented as there is no "High Availability option" under Java Add-on for ABAP in 32 bit SAPINST.
However, in 64 bit there is a option for High Availability install under Java add-on for ABAP. So, I believe the steps suggested in the notes are automated in 64 bit.
I checked both the sapinst and noted the following:
32 bit:
NW04 - Java Add-in for ABAP
            Oracle
                 - Central System
                 - Distributed System
64 bit:
NW04 - Java Add-in for ABAP
            Oracle
                 - Central System
                 - Distributed System
                 - High Availability System
                      - SCS installation
                      - Java Database Schema installation
                      - Central Instance Finalisation
                      - Dialog Instance Finalisation
We are configuring cluster on 64 bit, so i believe the steps outlined in the notes are automated under 64 bit.
Please comment.

Chandu
