RFC with External system

Hi,
We are trying to develop interface with external system to calculate the shipping costs for a delivery. We will establish RFC connection between SAP and External system.
Do we need SAP .NET connector to send and receive data from/to SAP. SAO shouls act as client and external system as server. If we have to use SAP .NET connectore, can anyone explain me the detailed process of using SAP .NET connector and connecting to external system.If there is anyother way without using SAP .NET connector, i.e by using RFC function modules, can you please xplain that process too. What is the program ID for RFC destination in SM59?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ashok.

setting the program id you need a person with the knowledge of both the system, with the current input it will be difficult to help with that.
since you are in 4.6C the available options are
1. DCOM connector
2. .net connect
3. JCO
4. or a plain http call to your external system.

Integration of Financials with external systems

Hi,
I am strugling with an implementation where the client is not sure if Oracle Financials suits his business processes
Overview of situation on Hand:
We do not have the product installed as yet at the client site
Products of Oracle Financials to be used :General Ledger, Account Receivable, Account Payable, Fixed Assets,India Localization Patch
Products of Oracle Applications NOT available for use :
Purchasing, Inventory, Order Management
(All these areas are being covered by developing a customized Bespoke system)
1.     Is it possible to use Oracle India Localizations (with regards to the excise functionality, for e.g. claiming of ModVat, the various excise registers that are to be maintained for e.g. RG23 A, RG23C,etc ) in the above situation (without implementing Purchasing, Inventory, and Order Management?).
2.     Further, while passing the Vendor’s Bills (in Oracle Payables), one of the criteria for PO Matching is to check if the ModVat has been claimed. Is this functionality available in Payables with the India localization patch?
3.     Does Oracle India localization cater for VAT requirements?
4.     Is an Open Interface available to transfer Purchase Order data from external systems to Oracle Purchasing tables (which are shared by Oracle Payables the names being PO_HEADERS, PO_LINES, PO_LINES_LOCATIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_AP_V (VIEW OF PO_DISTRIBUTIONS), PO_RELEASES (Blanket Purchase Orders), PO_LOOKUP_CODES) at transactional frequency? However, if the oracle purchasing module is not being used, can the interface tables of Purchasing be used?
5.     An open interface (Payables Open Interface) is available in Oracle Payables to import the Invoices from external systems. While importing these invoices, does the system expect to have the Purchase Order data in the PO tables mentioned in the point above?
6.     Is an Open Interface available to transfer Quantity Received/Accepted data from external systems to PO_line_locations table to enable carrying out of 2/3/4 way matching of Purchase orders with invoices? Can the 4 way mathcing be carried out in AP by just importing Purchase Order data??
7.     Can the Credit Card Transaction Interface be used for uploading employee expenses / advances settlement (not carried out via credit card) directly from feeder system?
8.     Is it possible to use Open Item interface (including import concurrent program) even though Inventory module is not being installed ? If yes, then we would like to use this interface for updating Item master from bespoke system..
9.     Can Auto Invoice API be used to import invoices from feeder system / legacy system (via RA interface Tables) into the Oracle receivable invoice tables? Is order number as column a prerequisite for successful completion of Auto Invoice API?
10. Where should the Masters be kept....OF of Bespoke
eg. Employee master, Inventory Item Master etc.
11. What is the best strategy for keeping the data in Bepoke and OF related to Masters in sync?
I have got various answers to these questions .....but some seem to contradict each other.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks,
Kamana

BPM - Interact with external system

Hi Experts,
We are implementing a project with BPM Suite Version 1.1.1.6 (PS5). A requirement is the following things:
- The BPM process begins through a human task.
- Upon completion of the human task, the flow must interact asynchronously with an external system through a webservice. The BPM system sends data to external system.
- The user interacts with the external system and runs a couple of tasks.
- After completing the activities in the external system, the BPM should be receiving an event to continue with the main flow was in wait.
The question is....as an external system can reactivate a BPM process that is in wait hoping the event.
Thank you very much.

Investigate the use of the Call activity. If the external process is long-running, you might use a Service activity in conjunction with correlations.

Connection with external System using AS2/SFTP adapter.

Hi All,
I need to use SFTP/AS2 to connect to an external Server which is not in our landscape.
Can anybody could help whether i need to create a party on the Sender side as sender system is an external Server.
I have gone through many docs but i am not clear when to use party and when not..?
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul
Whether to use a party or not is both an architectural question as well as a development question.
Architecturally, if an external server is not in your landscape and belongs to a different company/entity, your scenario would be a B2B process. You can refer to the below link for more details about B2B, but I've included a short snippet below too.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/c7a475da5e31ebe10000000a42189b/content.htm
Using a communication party, you address a company that is involved in a B2B process.
The (technical) name of the communication party (for example Bosch) is the identifier for the company within an Integration Directory. To be able to identify the company during any external communication using a globally unique ID, you specify alternative identifiers for a communication party. For external communication, the name of the communication party that is known internally is mapped to the ID. A particular identifier is specified in the communication channel (see below).
In terms of development, not all adapters (FTP, SFTP, SOAP, etc) require the use of a party object when you develop a B2B integration scenario. There are companies which have implemented all B2B scenarios using those adapters in an A2A style (using just Business Systems.)
As Harish has mentioned, if you use the Seeburger AS2 adapter, you will need the party object (AS2ID is configured there), but if you use the SFTP adapter, it is optional.
For your case, I'd recommend going with Party to clear distinguish that it is a B2B process.

Interface with external system

Hello Experts,
The query i am posting is very naive and mite seem vague to you but I am doing it for a sure shot methodological approach. My client have an vendor system that they want to interface. All the information I have is
1> I will get the XML schema frm the guys of that company.
2> XI is installed in my company.
Can you tell me wat all things i need to configure and how can i go about achieving this?
thanks and please advise me,
Mehta

Hi Gaurav,
you will have to provide more details like who is your sender, who is your receiver etc....
i would recommend that you go through the SAP help documentation and follow the pipeline steps.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
You will have to perform the basic steps to get your thing (XSD) into XI.
1. In the Integration Builder - Integration Repository; You take your XSD provided by the vendor and create an interface out of it. This depends whether your vendor is sending (Outbound Interface) or receiving (Inbound Interface) the data.
2. Then add this interface to your service in the configuration (Integration Directory).

Attendance recording integration with external system

Hi,
there is a scenario where an employee punches in and out to enter and leave his office. This information like employee number, date, mode(in/out) etc is collected in a flat file. How this information can be captured in R/3? Do we need IDOC or XI or both or BAPI? kindly respond.
Regards,
Murali.

Hi,
You have to maintain Infotype 0050 and to upload the information you can use BDC or any other interface ( time in time outs will be writtten to the table CCITYEV and after processing will be stored in TEVEN table.)
You need an ABAP program that can transfer data from third party systen to R/3. This is the simplest way. Without XI we can integrate the system.
This can be done in so many ways .

HTTP REST API call to CPSC 10.x from an external system

Hi,
I would like to know the below items.
Is it possible to connect with the CPSC 10.x from an external system via HTTP REST API call to process a request and complete a task?
Is it possible to create a new ticket / request in CPSC for a specific service via the HTTP REST API call?
One of the use case is to know how many requests are pending in a queue via a HTTP REST API call? How to pass a queue name in the HTTP REST API call to get the result? These kind of custom piece is not available in the integration guide.
Is there any specific REST API guide available which Cisco provides for the REST capability in CPSC?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks.

When a task is invoked from a service catalog request to an external system, the request remains open and the task is pending until the external system issues a call to complete the task. The API for completing the task is SOAP-based. Check out the Cisco Prime Service Catalog Integration Guide. Within the doc, go to the section about "Web Service Listener Adapter" for the WSDL.
You can order a service within Prime Service Catalog with a SOAP call, which is also documented in this same document. Starting with Prime Service Catalog 10.1, you will have a way to order a service via a REST API.
Existing REST APIs are also documented in the integration guide.

Is it possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external system without SAP PI?

Hi,
as asked in the title, i am wondering if it is possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external (non-SAP) system without using SAP PI/XI. The external system is a middleware application which can handle RFC functions, IDocs besides the usual web service communications.
However, i don't know how LSO and SAP PI are integrated so i wonder if their interfaces are such that instead of SAP PI another middleware could be used.

Web Services are used. If you were to implement the services in your 3rd party middleware and configure SAP to call it, I suppose it is possible. The external course catalog can be used for CourseEnrollment and LearningProgress. See the application help for details. Don't expect to receive support from SAP with such a setup however.

Error while connecting to external system in SM59 with ICM_HTTP_SSL_ERROR

Hi all,
we have configured an SM59 RFC destination of G type which pings to the external third party server. Before testing we have uploaded the external server certificate in PI system. it was working fine with * HTTP 200 OK* message. since 2 days we are facing the ICM_HTTP_SSL_ERROR while testing the connection. when we telnet from PI to the external system using the port no.443, its getting connected.
so any idea why it started giving the error.

How do I integrate SAP R/3 with an external system?

Hi there!
I've run into a problem integrating SAP R/3 with an external system. The external system provides a webservice, and when I try to get WSDL file from that service, I am getting asked of authorization and when I authorize, I get error 500. The access is anonymous, as I'm being told. When I try to get just a response, server requests authorization. No matter what login and password I supply, I always get error 401 saying I'm not authorized.
I think the ICF is somewhat misconfigured, but how do I configure it? Or maybe there's a problem with requests I send. I don't know.
Please help!
Regards, Dima

Hi,

Connecting with external time recording system

Hi, I need to know how an in-house Java Time Recordins System can communicate with SAP. The plan is for this system to send raw data, clock in, clock out to SAP work schedules. Employees are mostly positive and have occasionnaly shift differentials, similar to additonal payments. Apparently this upload to SAP seems to be a problem. Can someone advise. I am a HR trainer not a functional but I need to know the process inside and out to be able to train on end result.
a.s.a.p. if you can.
Regard,
Sylvie

Amit, this sounds like a good solution.
Our external system captures raw data (swipe cards time)
→ this data is extracted by "text file report" and uploaded to
→ BAPI, where we can do some config so that SAP can understand it all, the way we want it.
Once in SAP it will just follow whatever work schedule rules has been configured. Is this about right ? Remember I am a trainer not functional. Is BAPI = to BDC ?

Workflow integration with external DMS system

Hi,
What integration/control transfer possibilities exist between SAP Workflow and an external document management system (e.g. Hummingbird)? Would some sort of interface be necessary for the integration and what would the level of effort be more or less?
This is quite urgent and I would greatly appreciate your input.
Regards
Liza-Marie

Hi Liza-Marie,
you can work at different levels:
1) Integration of documents use in the SAP workflow can be stored in external DMS and linked to SAP transactions through SAP Archivelink; you'll probably need a Hummingbird interface certified archivelink
2) If you want to integrate your SAP workflow with the workflow of the DMS (if any), you can practice as follows:
a) From you DMS, you can raise events in the SAP system on which your SAP workflow would react (to start or resume) by making use of standard RFCs such as SWE_EVENT_CREATE; eventually you can expose it as web service, which will simplify the call
b) From SAP worfklow, you can send mails, call external system commands (more rarely used) or call web services that would allow you external DMS to be triggered on
Details on all these techniques would be too huge to be described in a post, but this gives you an overview on how SAP Workflow can interact with external solutions.
In summary to your question:
1) Interface required YES - ARCHIVELINK CERTIFIED in case you want to store documents in external DSM that need to be connected to your SAP transactions
2) Level of effort is depending on your scenario

Karim
