What port is used by Groupware connector to communicate with SAP CRM?

Hi!
I've been trying to find what port is used by groupware connector when it is communicating with SAP CRM, but all I've found is that is uses SOAP over HTTP.
Our security team only wants to open the relevant port and I haven't found the port....
Does anybody know what port is used?
Thanks!

International Address Versions in SAP CRM 2007 WebUI

Hi gurus,
I have activated International Addres Versions in SPRO.
In the SAP GUI, now there's a button 'intern. versions' available in transaction BP. When users create a new business partner, they can enter an address version in the international character set ( i.e. Cyrillic, Chinese, ... )
I was wondering how I can do the same functionality in the CRM WebUI ? Is it possible to something similar ? I didn't manage to insert or display these international address versions ...
Thank you,
Abjuh

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have entered into my user id through su01.
There I could find only one role: SAP_CRM_UIU_FRAMEWORK.
I have removed that role and came out of the SAP CRM system and login to SAP CRM and webui, still by default interaction center page is displaying.
I have checked my role in Org model and no where it is assigned.
Though there is no roles and no assignment in org model, I have a doubt why it is showing the Interaction center screen.
Please let me know, If you have any more suggestions.

SAP CRM - How does Communication Station work?

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell how the communication station work in SAP CRM?
For example if the service agent has performed the service at the field or customer location and uses the mobile client device to confirm the service, how does the data gets synchronised with the CRM server? How the connection to the communication station work?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Swathi

Hello Swathi,
Commstation sits between your mobile client and CRM server and acts as a channel of regulating the data exchange.
On your mobile client, the application data is saved in IDES and when you need to sync that data with the CRM server, you need to run Conntrans.
Conntrans first connects with Commstation(which is a separate system) and then commstation allows conntrans to sync the data with Server. Commstation is basically a system which hosts a SAP CRM Transfer Service(a COM+ application).
On your client system, the first thing that conntrans does is initialize this transfer service on commstation and then the further data exhcnage takes place.
Commstation also doesn't allow CRM to be loaded with synchronization requests from several client machines. Imagine 1000 conntrans users sync the data with the same CRM server at the same time. Now you don't want the CRM server to be unnecessarily loaded with such sync requests. To limit this data exchange wherein only several(lets say 10) clients are allowed to sync the data via conntrans at 1 time, commstation comes in handy. As and when 1 conntrans session finishes and resources are deallocated on commstation, another client system can sync the data.
In the dcomcnfg->COMApplications->SAP CRM Transfer Service, right click and check the properties. Resource pooling is handled via this COM application on Commstation.
Hope that explains the function of Commstation to you
Thanks,
Rohit

Urgent! How foreign languages are treated in SAP CRM

How are foreign languages' characters treated in SAP CRM?. If a person's name or address is entered in say Japanese or Greek characters, how would it reflect in reporting. Would it have anything to do with the communication language selected for the contact?
Urgent

If the Data is entered in a foreign Language it will show same in the reports too. SAP has translation service too but that wouldn't be affective and suitable to conversion. So if it is entered in Japanese you will see in Japanese only. But one thing is to make sure your language packs are loaded in to your landscape.
Thanks

Secure hash function with salt to create a not spoofable PRC (SAP CRM)

Hello SAP Security Community,
SAP CRM Marketing provides a functionality called Personalized Response Code (PRC, 10 characters). This code can be used in mail, fax, sms or letters to customers. When the customer returns the PRC to the communication initiator, it can be mapped to a campaign and the business partner number of the customer. See also the [SAP Standard Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/EN/2a/c13463f09c4a1f9c45903e7a0a7230/frameset.htm].
By default this standard implementation of the BAdI CRM_MKT_PRC_CONVERT is called:
METHOD if_ex_crm_mkt_prc_convert~convert_prc.
DATA lv_no      TYPE crmt_mkt_icrh_prc_num.
DATA lv_string TYPE string.
DATA lv_pos     TYPE int4.
DATA lv_base31 TYPE string VALUE '0123456789BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ'.
**** converting the numeric-base10 into base31
lv_no = iv_prc.
CLEAR lv_string.
DO.
    lv_pos = lv_no MOD 31.
    lv_no = lv_no DIV 31.
    CONCATENATE lv_base31+lv_pos(1) lv_string INTO lv_string.
    IF lv_no = 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
MOVE lv_string TO ev_prc.
ENDMETHOD.
As you can see it does a simple base31 encoding of the provided input parameter iv_prc which is a number provided by the number range for PRC's.
I want to use the PRC to make our customers registration process for a trade fair easier. We send out the PRC via a letter to the customers where we don't have an E-Mail address. The letter contains instructions which point the user to a Website that has an input field for the PRC. When the user submits the PRC I'd like to show him/her some personal information (Name, Address, E-Mail) that we lookup using the PRC in the CRM System. This information is then posted to a 3rd party website that has to be used to do the trade fair registration.
If I would use the simple base31 encoding, then the current counter state could be easily decoded, the next number can be chosen and by applying base31 encoding again, the next valid PRC is created. This could then be misused to read personal information of another customer. I think what could solve this problem would be to use a secure hash function that allows also to be salted to create the PRC.
Do you think I'm on the right track? Or would it be OK to use the classes described in [Note 1410294 - Support SHA2-family for Message Digest and HMAC|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1410294] and before doing the hashing add a random number to the PRC number that I've got from the number range? What problems do I run in as the PRC could not be longer than 12 characters? For sure I have to check that I don't create any PRC twice.
Best regards
Gregor

Knowledge of PCR should not reveal any personal information to you.
OK, but in this case the PCR is mapped to the campaign number and the BP-number. It would reveal the information. Hence a second hash which only allows further processing if it matches. The second hash is a "signature" of the PCR.
I don't agree with this. The security should NOT be based on hiding how system works. Only key should be secret. In this case it should all depend on quality of PRNG. Check Kerckhoffs's principle. Whenever I see proprietary algorithm in crypto I start to feel nervous about the system.
Ok, you convinced me. That is also true, but you will have to save the key or the hash it produces to be able to verify it again when the user returns to the website - and in this case it is in clear text ABAP (unless Mr. Wolf wants to create an external program, like SAP does with C-calls).
From the perspective of the user it is a password and they must be able to transfer it from a snail-mail readable text on paper into a website field.
As Mr. Wolf has noticed, the next PCRs can be obtained by anyone who can decode standard code (knowing that the BADI is activated).
I think a correctly placed split and concatenation does the trick for a 20 character field without knowing which part is the PCR and which is the signature (a human can still enter that into a website field).
I think the big question (appart from the principle - which I agree with you on) is whether the admins and their family members are allowed to bid? Also do the bidders have acces to this system as technical consultants?? (for example to single test methods and function modules in the production system??).
Also how does the process continue and finally get concluded? Typically there is some "horse trading" in the end anyway...
All these factors should influence the strength and complexity of the design, and maintenance of it IMO.
But generally you are correct and I rest my case.
@ Mr. Wolf: Are you enjoying the debate too much or are you going to give us more insight?
Cheers,
Jules

SAP CRM - no confidence in UI by SAP?

After reading this blog and looking at the article attached to the blog. I had an interesting question:
Can Rich Internet Applications finally be accepted as a credible application development platform for SAP?
Does SAP have any confidence in its own CRM software? Right now SAP is touting how easy to use the new version of SAP CRM is, and yet this article implies they don't use their own product's user interface.
Now I know the eSOA mantra says this shouldn't matter, but I would say this is one of those cases where it doesn't. If the vendor won't/can't use their own CRM software because the UI is too ugly/clumsy or other reason, why should I as a customer.
As a customer I don't want to purchase a CRM software and then have to purchase a better UI to go on top of the software. I might as well spend the money on software that might have a better UI perceived by my sales folks(think siebel, salesforce.com, sugarcm, etc), and spend those dollars on integration instead. It's a lot cheaper to do integration work, than completely rewrite the UI to meet my users needs.
I'm also wondering why SAP would even send this message by displaying this article on SDN? I'm sure if the guys at oracle saw this article, we would see a press release from that says something of the like:
"Even SAP acknowledges, that SAP CRM is too difficult to use".
I bring this up because we are selling use of SAP CRM 2007 in house right now, and it makes it harder for me to sell the solution to my business users, if there are conflicting messages on the market.
Take care,
Stephen

> Wow, you almost have the "nightmare" scenario when it comes to maintenance. I just have to ask what functional areas (high level) did you implement? Was it the marketing module?
I can tell you...
We were using Mobiles Sales with activities, campaigns, sales documents and master data and we switched that to CRM 2005 and Portal (+ adding BI reporting functionality with BI-CRM content). For the Java part there's enough said (by me) already, I won't start again with that (mess). The CRM looked pretty well at first sight but devil's in the detail.
> The marketing module in CRM 40 was so unstable on SP08 that basically we ditched the application and wrote something custom in the SAP GUI instead. Any t-code that had over 400 related notes(segment builder) is just a nightmare not to mention just plain bugs in the PCUI that we weren't willing to wait a month for fixes.
Well.. people have always be VERY helpful, especially the guys and girls in India were doing a very good job at fixing bugs - once the communication was done via email and not via phone...;) But you're right - it's taking sometimes too much time to get a fix and yet-another-note.
> I still think the SAP GUI sometimes beats the web based interfaces, once you learn how to use it. The problem was that everyone got obessed with zero-client installations and forgot about the benefits of "specialized" clients. Now everyone is basically trying to make a web browser work like a desktop client, which puts you back full circle.
Everyone THINKS it's zero installation but in fact you have to configure proxy exceptions, add/install certificates, enable/disable Javascript things, add trusted sites, (re-)configure firewalls on Laptops, delete browser caches, install SVG viewer and other "plugins", install and maintain security fixes for the browser etc. etc. and this on a distributed environment where our sales reps are spread over the whole world in different time zones. So the "zero-installation" is nothing but marketing flowery because the maintenance you needed to put into Mobile Sales is now needed for the browser - nice antagonism
> In would have been interesting to see how well SAP would have fared if they had made the mistake of making the original R/3 application 2-tier instead of a 3-tier client/server.
It's been like that @ R/2 times and I must tell you I loved the green screens (http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/R2-0.GIF and http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/SCREENO1.GIF)

Cannot Delete BP Relationships in SAP CRM 7.0 - intermittent error

Hi Everyone,
We are running SAP CRM 7.0, SP08. We are trying to delete just the relationship "Contact Person" between an Account and a Contact in CRM. Sometimes when we do it everything works just fine and the relationship is removed in CRM and the Contact Person is deleted in ECC. Other times we are getting the following error: "Address is still being used and may not be deleted." If we expand the error, we are getting the following:
Diagnosis
You tried to delete a BP address. This BP is still being used somewhere in the system, meaning that you are not permitted to delete this address.
System Response
Error message. The BP address is not deleted.
Procedure
Look at the where-used list for the BP address. If you still want to delete the address, change the reference to this address in the applications affected. In most cases, if applications other than maintenance of business partner itself are affected, you can navigate directly to the corresponding application from the where-used list (by calling the context menu with the right mouse button). You can then try again to delete the BP address.
Note
If a business partner is merely moving, you only need to change the actual address details. All references are automatically transferred to the new address.
We have tried several scenarios and have not found a consistent result. For example, we can create Activities in CRM, Quotes and Orders in ECC, using the Contact, and then when we remove the relationship it all works as we expected and removes the relationship in CRM and deletes them in ECC. However, for another Contact this does not work. It does not seem to matter if the person is the "main contact" in ECC or not, whether we have flagged them as the Main Contact in CRM or not, whether they have lots of transactions or none. The only thing that does seem to be consistant is where they were created and the relationship defined. It seems if they were created in ECC it does not work, but if they were created in CRM it does work.
I looked at SAP note 830239, but it does not apply to CRM 7.0.
Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Hi,
We used the questionnaires (questionnaires was displayed and worked) but we faced issues with the display in web UI (only when the questionnaires are linked to an activity/opportunity). The Admin screen for questionnaire works well).
We have implemented the following notes in order to correct this displaying issues :
- 1858059 : Upload the CRM_SVY_GENERATE_BSP_TEMPLATE.ZIP, refresh cash and generate all surveys
And then notes mentioned above
- 1914885 & 1944288 in the relevant order.
But we cannot display anymore the existing surveys (They are active, all scenarios are flagged).
Error message : Cannot get questionnaire HTML string
Any Ideas how to proceed to solve ? (we work on EHP2)

Customer Address Not getting replicated to CRM

Hi,
In CRM system we had created on BP and replicated to ECC system. Replication was done successfully. In ECC now we had modified some of the details like Name, Address, contact details. From this updated details only address is not getting replicated to CRM system.
While all the other data which are modified are getting replicated to CRM system. In case if some one has encountered this issue then please me know the solution step.
Does SAP support the modification and replication of business partner address from the third system (System in which it is not created)

Accessing SAP CRM 7.0 objects

Hi All,
After doing lot of research on SAP CRM 7.0 documentation, I got to know that there are different ways to access data from the system:
1) Using BAPIs
2) Using RFCs
3) Using SAP XI
4) Using Web Services (Enterprise services?)
I am interested in going with the Web Services option.
I have read in the documentation that Enterprise Service Repository is part of SAP NetWeaver Platform.
We are planning to register for SAP RAC service to get access to SAP CRM 7.0.
If we have access to just SAP CRM 7.0, will I be able to access the web services.
Can someone please help me understand this.
Thanks
Naga
P.S I am very very new to SAP CRM. Please bear with my questions.

Hi Isaac,
Thanks for your reply.
I read the documentation[1] which says that there are 235 enterprise services built for 35 business objects.
That said, the wsdl will be already published for all those default web services I believe.
Can't I just consume the default web services and read the data from SAP CRM 7.0?
As SAP CRM is dependent on SAP NetWeaver, can I assume that I will have access to all the Out of the Box web services if I have SAP CRM 7.0 installation.
Thanks
Naga

MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

21/11
Gurus,
I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
Thanks again.
Dear All,
On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
Thanks for your help and insights about this.
Brice.

Hi Chris,
    Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
    I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
    When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
   For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
   then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
   However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
   no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
   when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
   I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
   SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
   My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
   core source code is as:
   clear itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER = lv_datas
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      input_length = lv_length
      mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    IMPORTING
      text_buffer = lv_datas_string
      output_length = lv_data_len
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
    Can you give me some advice?
