Best Approach for integrating SAP CRM with Outage Management System

Hi All,
We are moving towards deploying Outage Management System (Oracle Utilities NMS) to help localize the fault, achieve Outage Management and a transparent network with a near-real time stats. We already have SAP ECC 6.0, ISU, SAP PI 7.0 and SAP CRM 7.0. One of the challenges we are facing is to decide how should we go about the integration of SAP CRM with Oracle's Outage Management System.
Here is a sample business scenario,
CSR receives a call from a consumer and inquires about planned outages for a particular area.
This information is contained in the Outage Management System (OMS). OMS is SOA based and is hosted on Oracle Service Bus.
I want to know that is there any ES Bundles available for CRM-OMS integration? Should we go about Service Based Integration? What are the alternatives to Service based integration? Can it be done using BAPIs?
We receive around 1000 consumer complains and against every complain a ticket is generated in CRM. Now If CRM is integrated with OMS using SAP PI, the volume of the data being exchanged via PI is very much high and exceeds our licensed volume for SAP PI. So I do need to know the best practices for either approach that you may recommend.
Regards,
Adil Khalil

does anyone have an idea about this one, I've asked this question in a few places and no one really seems clear about it.
Also, I've read here and there that SAP Business One is not a real SAP product. It was bought by SAP and is sold by them but has little do to with SAP's technology (R/3, SAP ERP, Netweaver, SAP CRM, ...), and that therefore they don't support it that much ? Is any of this right ?
I'm just trying to get my vision of the SAP universe clear.

  • Best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service

    Hi All
    What is the best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service? Is it using integration repository or calling the web service directly from the java class using a WS client?
    With Thanks & Regards
    Abhishek

    Using Integration Repository might cause performance overhead based on the operation you are doing, I have never used Integration Repository for 3rd Party integration therefore I am not able to make any comment on this.
    Calling directly as a Java Client is an easy approach and you can use ATG component framework to support that by making the endpoint, security credentials etc as configurable properties.

    Hi
    To integrate... between those systems
    first of all u have to create message type to tose fields with t code bd52.
    then activate that massege type in bd50.

  • How to use DPS for a daily newspaper with content management system like wordpress

    Hi,
    I am using DPS for magazines.  I would like to use it urgently for a newspaper company.  the content will be in form of Content Management System such as wordpress, joomla.  I know i can upload html content into folios.  How do I display content like The New york Times and Washington post  on iPad using digital publishing suites?

    Hi,
    Please send me a private mail (ktukker at_sign adobe -d o t - com ) with your question and description of workflow. Can you give me some sample links of Washington Post / NYT that you are referring too?
    You can combine an HTML workflow with DPS. have a look at the Shell Scenarios app; content has all be created in HTML articles.

  • Best approach for IDs mapping..

    Hello,
    I'd like to ask you for your experiences about classical integration problem: mapping of IDs (materials, partners...)
    What is the best approach for integration between SAP and other systems? Can you give me some hints?
    Thanx, Peter

    Hi Peter,
    you have 4 ways to do it:
    1. you can do it inside an integration process:
    RFC call for checking a table with ID -> ID mappings
    (not so good as you have to use integration process)
    but very easy to biuld as this is standard 
    2. table in R/3 and changing the values in a user exit
    (you maintaint the data in a table in R/3)
    the fastest way (no calls to other programs)
    but you have to create user exits and
    this is not why you (your client) bought the XI  
    3. you can use this new RFC API

    which seems to be the best approach
    as you don't need BPM for this and it's a standard
    4. value mapping tables in XI...

  • Best Approach for Reporting on SAP HANA Views

    Hi,
    Kindly provide information w.r.t the best approach for the reporting on HANA views for the architecture displayed below:
    We are on a lookout for information mainly around the following points:
    There are two reporting options which are known to us and listed below namely:
    Reporting on HANA views through SAP BW  (View > VirtualProvider > BEx > BI 4.1)
    Reporting on HANA views in ECC using BI 4.1 tools
            Which is the best option for reporting (please provide supportive reasons : as in advantages and limitations)?
             In case a better approach exists, please let us know of the same.
    Best approach for reporting option on a mixed scenario wherein data of BW and HANA views is to be utilized together.

    Hi Alston,
    To be honest I did not understand the architecture that you have figured out in your message.
    Do you have HANA instance as far as I understood and one ERP and BW is running on HANA. Or there might be 2 HANA instance and ERP and BW are running independently.
    Anyway If you have HANA you have many options to present data by using analytic views. Also you have BW on HANA as EDW. So for both you can use BO and Lumira as well for presenting data.
    Check this document as well: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34403

  • Integration Opportunity CRM with Quotation ERP without Material integration

    Hi Experts,
    We have a partner with a SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP CRM 5.2
    The systems SAP are uniquely integrated into the customer master.
    Now they ask us to integrate the sales flow between CRM Opportunity with ERP Quotation, but without item data because the material master data are not integrated.
    Is this possible? What problems can we find for the implementation? would be helpful if someone could guide me in steps.
    Thanks a lot,
    Regards,
    José Manuel Romero

    In this case what you can do is to follow the reply that I posted to your other query on this and you can then skip to maintain the copy control settings for the Item to Item copy. That is, maintain only the Header to header copy control in ERP.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks & Kind Regards,

  • Integrating SRM , CRM with MDM

    Hi
    Could you please give links or documents that clearly (step by step) tells about Integrating SRM with MDM and CRM with MDM ?
    Thanks
    manian

    Hello Manjan,
    you can refer the threads for CRM-MDM integration as mentioned below:
    Configure CRM with MDM !!!
    Connecting MDM to CRM
    Integration of SAP CRM with non-SAP-Systems
    To integrate the SRM or CRM System with MDM, you might be need some middleware like XI/PI in between.
    You can configure the MDM generic extractor to replicate the referance data (lookup table data, Transaction-MDMGX).please refer the thread as mentioned below:
    Re: MDMGX Transaction in R3-XI-MDM Scenario
    you can also use the standard transaction "MDM_CLNT_EXTR" to replicate the main table data fro SAP System to MDM.I am not sure that this will work for SRM or CRM System. I have used it in case of R3 System. you can refer the SAP NOTE-1035601, 836985 for this transaction.
    Also can refer the threads as mentioned below on MDM_CLNT_EXTR:
    Working of MDM_CLNT_EXTR transaction
    MDM_CLNT_EXTR Configurations
    Working of MDM_CLNT_EXTR transaction
    Hope this will help you.

  • What's the best approach for handeling about 1300 connections in Oracle.

    What's the best approach for handling about 1300 connections in Oracle 9i/10g through a Java application?
    1.Using separate schema s for various type users(We can store only relevant data with a particular schema.     Then No. of records per table can be reduced by replicating tables but we have to maintain all data with a another schema     Then we need update two schema s for a given session.Because we maintain separate scheama for a one user and another schema for all data and then there may be Updating problems)
    OR
    2. Using single schema for all users.
    Note: All users may access the same tables and there may be lot of records than previous case.
    What is the Best case.
    Please give Your valuable ideas

    It is a true but i want a solution from you all.I want you to tell me how to fix my friends car.

  • Best approach for IDOC - JDBC scenario

    Hi,
    In my scenarion I am creating sales order(ORDERS04) in R/3 system and which need to be replicated in a SQL Server system. I am sending the order to XI as an IDoc and want to use JDBC for sending data to SQL Server. I need to insert data in two tables(header & details). Is it possible without BPM?  Or what is the best approach for this?
    Thanks,
    Sri.

    Yes, this is possible without the BPM.
    Just create the Corresponding Datatype for the insertion.
    if the records to be inserted are different, then there wil be 2 different datatypes ( one for header and one for detail).
    Do a mutlimapping, where your Source is mapped into the header and details datatype and then send using the JDBC sender adapter.
    For the strucutre of your Datatype for insertion , just check this link,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7e/5df96381ec72468a00815dd80f8b63/content.htm
    To access any Database from XI, you will have to install the corresponding Driver on your XI server.

  • What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?

    What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?
    We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
    We have number of mappings. We built process flows for mappings as well.
    I like to know, what are the best approches to incorportate re-start options in our process. ie a failure of mapping in process flow.
    How do we re-cycle failed rows?
    Are there any builtin features/best approaches in OWB to implement the above?
    Does runtime audit tables help us to build re-start process?
    If not, do we need to maintain our own tables (custom) to maintain such data?
    How did our forum members handled above situations?
    Any idea ?
    Thanks in advance.
    RI

    Hi RI,
    How many mappings (range) do you have in a process flows?Several hundreds (100-300 mappings).
    If we have three mappings (eg m1, m2, m3) in process flow. What will happen if m2 fails?Suppose mappings connected sequentially (m1 -> m2 -> m3). When m2 fails then processflow is suspended (transition to m3 will not be performed). You should obviate cause of error (modify mapping and redeploy, correct data, etc) and then repeat m2 mapping execution from Workflow monitor - open diagram with processflow, select mapping m2 and click button Expedite, choose option Repeat.
    In re-start, will it run m1 again and m2 son on, or will it re-start at row1 of m2?You can specify restart point. "at row1 of m2" - I don't understand what you mean (all mappings run in Set based mode, so in case of error all table updates will rollback,
    but there are several exception - for example multiple target tables in mapping without corelated commit, or error in post-mapping - you must carefully analyze results of error).
    What will happen if m3 fails?Process is suspended and you can restart execution from m3.
    By having without failover and with max.number of errors=0, you achieve re-cycle failed rows to zero (0).This settings guarantee existence only two return result of mapping - SUCCSES or ERROR.
    What is the impact, if we have large volume of data?In my opinion for large volume Set based mode is the prefered processing mode of data processing.
    With this mode you have full range enterprise features of Oracle database - parallel query, parallel DML, nologging, etc.

  • What's Best Approach for Multitrack Classical Music?

    Can someone suggest the best approach for recording classical musicians onto
    four tracks? In this scenario, they play until they make a mistake on, say,
    measure 24, stop, then (take 2) go back to measure 20 and play until the next
    rough spot, and so on. Ultimately there may be 15 takes that all need to be
    trimmed and stitched together.
    In the old (tape) days, this was pretty basic editing. I would use a blade and block
    to cut out all the bad stuff on the multitrack tape, then I could mix. But how do I
    do this in Audition? (I use version 1.5.)
    I can't do the cuts it in edit view because the tracks would get out of sync
    Assuming all the takes are in one session, in multitrack view, this most basic of
    functions seems to elude me. What am I missing?

    If you follow Steve's advice, and after doing the edits you discover

    I could be wrong about this in the classical music environment,
    where things are not close-mic'ed but if I am, I am confident Steve
    will correct me.  Ha.
    You always run the risk of small changes between takes - and that's where Audition 3 and the new improved crossfades score rather heavily. You won't notice 1dB on a single instrument across a fade though - it's hard to spot this as a jump, even, unless it's on pure tone. No, I very rarely close-mic stuff at all, although I did with a clavichord recently - it's seriously too quiet to mic any other way.

     when recording classical music, any engineer worth anything has the mix down pat as it's being recorded. 
    That's the way they used to work, certainly - but not nowadays, especially if it's done on location, which most classical recording is. What's more likely to happen is that you'd use decent mic preamps feeding straight into a multitrack, or even some software on a laptop. I generally record like that - but I also feed the multitrack outputs to a Yamaha mixer via ADAT, do a mix on that and record it back to a spare multitrack pair. I don't actually need to do that - but having a mix available from the multitrack that's pretty much there is good as far as being able to play back takes to conductors is concerned.
    Of course, one of the other reasons that classical sessions recorded on location aren't mixed on the spot is that the monitoring conditions are invariably far from ideal, and I'd have it that no engineer worth anything would ever risk a final mix done on location.
    But I only get paid to do all of this on a regular basis, so what would I know? Must be something though - my customers come back for more...

  • Best approach for building dialogs based on Java Beans

    I have a large amount of Java Beans with several properties each. These represent all the "data" in our system. We will now build a new GUI for the system and I intend to reuse the beans as far as possible. My idea is to automatically generate the configuration dialogs for each bean using the java.beans package.
    What is the best approach for achieving this? Should I use PropertyEditors or should I make my own dialog-generator using the Introspetor class or are there any other suitable solutions?
    All suggestions and tips are very welcome.
    Thanks!
