Accessing CRM Interaction center outside network

Hi,
I have a basic question for better understanding.
We have CRM ISA and CRM Interaction center.
Our customers are able to log in to the Online Ordering website through Internet.
But the URL for CRM Interaction center is not working, if I try to log through Internet (It works only if Iam in client network or VPN)
To me both are channels in CRM and in that case why it is behaving diffrently.
Regards
Babu

Hello All,
Appreciate if you could provide any pointers. I think this either mite be related to the code link property of the iview or the PCD path of pages/roles which we do in CRM SPRO.

  • Call transaction in new session not working inside CRM Interaction Center

    Hi Experts,
    I have developed a report which contains a screen with push button. When user clicks on button a  transaction (FPL9) is being called and opened in new session or window. But when the report is being called in CRM Interaction Center using transaction launcher and button is clicked no new session or new window is being opened. Our requirement is FPL9 transaction will be opened in new session / window inside Interaction Center also.
    Please help me how to open a new session or window  in interaction center on push botton click.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to know that what is the impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI software.
    1) Will there be anything we need to change?
                for e.g.
                     a) Settings
                     b) Software
                     c) Hardware
    2) What do we need to keep in mind when upgrading from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0?

    Hello!
    The biggest change you must face is related to Java. If you had CRM4.0 Java configuration, you must change your settings to the non-java configuration CRM5.0 has. Most of those changes are performed by the upgrade program, but you must activate services in transaction SCIF.
    Your other concerns:
    - Software: Most of the Genesys releases are compatible with both java and non java configurations. Anyway, I am sure Genesys has compatibility instructions.
    - Hardware: No changes to my knowledge

  • How to show incoming mails in CRM Interaction Center?

    Experts,
    how can we show incomming ele. letter  for m.-direction of CRM USER in Interaction center.
    An example: I am interaction center agent. I am sending a correspondence to my client. In my user (SU01) i have saved my direction.
    The client receives my e m a i l with my e m. direction saved in SU01. He answers.
    Now, I want this m. to go to my interaction center inbox. What do I have to do?
    Hoping for help,
    Cristina

    hi christina,
    If i understand you correctly (plz correct me if i'm wrong)
    You want the incoming mails to appear in the agent's inbox.for this you will have to assign either one common e mail id (for eg: heldesk at company.com) which will be shown to the customer in his e mail inbox.
    Similarly when he replies back to this e mail the e mail will be visible to all the agents in their Agent inboxes.(Standard practice)
    If you are working on CRM 5.0 this can be acheived as follows:
    1.Take BASIS help for creating the common e mail ID
    2.maintain the settings
    IMG>ICWC>Agent Inbox>Settings for Asynchronous Inbound Processing>Define Receiving E-Mail Addresses/Fax Numbers
    3Map Item Attributes to Inbox Attributes
    follow C-78 SAp best practices to set it up
    hope this helps

  • How to access OBI Dashboards from outside Network.

    Hi Gurus
    I want to access MY Dashboards Reports from any where on internet. My BI server is available on LAN so how i ;ll make it available to access it from any place.
    Any Reference DOC, Blog or guide.
    Regards

I've just re-read your original question - If you want the BI Server accessible on the internet you need it visibile outside of your firewall - Your network people should be able to set up any routing you need to achieve this.
    Chances are if you have a VM running on an internal server, you wont have this access by default - there are various security hoops to jump through to get this working.

  • Accessing the SMTP from outside network through ASA 5510

    hello good people,
    I have an issue with my mail server(SME Server) which is behind a Cisco ASA 5500(firewall)  problem is that if one leaves my network they can receive but can not  send email via my SMTP also internal people can only send if they use  the IP address of the server rather than the domain (mail.xxxx.com) any pointers will be appreciated.
    here is my layout
    ISP - ASA 5510 - LAN (includes mailserver)
    Kind regards

    Hello George,
    If you have public DNS , in order to access the servers hosted inside using their fqdn, then you need  to have dns doctoring. but unfortunately, you are using port address translation ( not a one to one nat) which doesnt work well with dns doctoring..
    I assume you can solve this issue with alias command as follows
    alias (inside) 199.199.199.99    255.255.255.255
    Also, for the other issue can you try to configure an SMTP inspection as follows
    policy-map type inspect esmtp esmtp_map
    parameters
    allow-tls
    policy-map global_policy
    class inspection_default
    inspect esmtp
    Hope this helps

  • Complaint dose not appear in search in CRM-Interaction center

    Hi Expert,
    After creating a compliant for the account "X" ,I searched for the compliant in compliant search area but the search result is 0. The only way I talk to reach this compliant is to open the account "X" and get to it through the Interaction History assignment block. What do you think i should do to fix this issue ?

    The real big problem is the new properties that I created don't get indexed. I am not sure if I'm right but when I go to
    System admin
      > system config
        > Knowledge Management
          > Index Admin
            > TREX Monitor
              > Display Index Details
    I don't see my new properties in the document properties table.
    In the config of my new properties, I have the indexable box checked. Am I missing something that needs to be config to activate this? I thought the new properties would automatically be taken into account for the search according to this help page http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/75/e000861cb8ad4b8e4f19dd6416346d/frameset.htm

  • How E-mail functionality works with Interaction Center Webclient

    Dear all,
    How the E-mail functionality works with IC Webclient, How can we can send and receive E-mails to customers and internal employees through Interaction Center.
    Does SMTP server required to be involved for this functionality or External Telephony system Vendor iprovides this function.
    What is ERMS? and why we use this in IC Webclient.
    Please educate me to understand the concept of E-mail functionality in IC Webclient.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Best wishes,
    Raghu ram.

    Hello Raghu ram,
    The SAP CRM Interaction Center uses a concept of a shared email inbox for agent teams. This allows customers to communicate with your Interaction Center by sending emails to a corporate email address like service@yourcompany. You typically group your agents together into queues based on a particular product or skillset. Using this concept, customer's don't send emails directly to a specifc agent's email address, and agent's don't send emails directly to each other. That would rather still be done with groupware products like Microsoft Outlook.
    You have three options for routing emails into the CRM Interaction Center. You can push emails real-time to agents via a screen pop using third-party contact-center software like SAP BCM, Genesys, Avaya, and so on. Or there are two options for sending emails into the agent inbox, where the emails are processed in offline mode by agents, technicians, and engineers. You can route emails directly to a specific inbox group/queue by using different emails addreses. Or, you can leverage ERMS to decide where which agents to route the email to based on business rules.
    Please see the various notes mentioned above that appear in the sticky note on top of this forum. For example, there is a nice 85 page FAQ document on the Agent Inbox in note 882653. And ERMS note 940882 is also very useful.
    Regards,
    John

  • Empty ticket creating in Interaction Center

    Hi All,
    As i am new to SAP CRM Technical, i need help.
    User is able to create a new service ticket in Interaction center. and ticket with number is getting created and saving data in SAP. Issue is.. when user edits the existing ticket and save it, it creates a new empty ticket instead of editing.Why this is happening? PLease help me
    Thanks
    Subin

    The standard behaviour should be like that:
    New business transactions: If you create a new business transaction, then an interaction record should be created
    Editing of existing business transaction: After pressing END, if you search for a business transaction for example in agent inbox and just edit it (without creating an E-Mail, or navigating to Interaction Record view), really just edit the business transaction and then press END, then no interaction record should get created.
    If in your system without enhancement an interaction record gets created for use case (2) then you might open an support incident and ping me the number.
    You might also check my blog  http://scn.sap.com/community/crm/interaction-center/blog/2014/09/16/tracking-customer-interactions-a-new-feature-and-end-is-your-friend for some background information.

    Is it possible to provide such an integration with their existing Microsoft communicator? If yes, please share the details of your earlier experience.
    We are not immediately considering CTI integration. I found that chat functionality is part of ICI (Integrated Communication Interface). Is it the same as CTI? Do we need any other tools for this integration?
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Chat functionality can be enabled through BCM or CTI integration.i hope that is not possible using the Microsoft communicator

  • Can anybody tell me how to install the soft phone tool in Interaction Center?

    Hi Yoro,
    it depends on your environment - if siemens provides some kind of SAP connector for CRM, then you can even work with deskphone. The CTI server is always responsible for communicating with both terminal and CRM server.
    Example: customer calls through IVR and finally reaches operator with deskphone and CRM. The CTI server will ring the hardphone and at the same time sends signal Alerting with additional data to SAP CRM. The signal is communicated via SOAP using web service call.
    The agent hear ringing from the deskphone and he can see on his CRM Interaction Center caller's number, associated name and company, which options the caller selected in IVR and so on. Now based on the CTI capability, he can click Accept in CRM and the call will picked by the deskphone, or he can reject the call, again from CRM.
    In case you use siemens softphone then again, the CTI talks to both softphone and SAP CRM server. CRM simply does not care, whether the CTI channels the call to a softphone or a hardphone..
    Ask your vendor for SAP connector for CRM, if there is any. Different CTI vendors supplies their connector (and usually license them separately). For instance, Genesys has Gplus adapter for SAP, Cisco offers its partner's solution from Bucher+Sutter, Solidus has also some licensed connector and so on.
    What I have described is a server-server scenario. In such case, the CRM does not care where is the terminal, because the CTI takes care of it.
    However, I have also seen one solution based on client-client integration. In that case, CRM Interaction Center talks to a softphone directly on operator's workstation. This is not supported by SAP and must be delivered on project basis.
