Best practice to create order extract from CRM to Business Objects

Is there a "best practice" to extract orders created/changed on a daily basis to Business Objects. We have considered trying to use the standard CRM BI extractors, but we are not sure this is possible without actually running a SAP BI system. Is there a way to extract data already captured in the BDOCs.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Best Practices for creating reports/Dashboards from BW systems

HI Gurus,
Best Practices of creating BO Dashboards / Xcelsisus from BW systems
Prasad

You can use the BICS connector that leverages BW queries directly. It is listed in the Connection Manager as "SAP NetWeaver BW Connection". You will need both the ABAP and Java stack and SSO configured between the two. You will also need to have SAP GUI and BEx installed on the machine you are doing development on. Note that dashboards using this connection can only be hosted in NW Portal for the time being until the next release of BI 4.x platform.
Here are some links on getting started with the BICS connector:

Best Practice for creating Excel report from SSIS.

I have a requirement to create an Excel report on a daily basis which pulls data from SQL. I have attempted to resolve this by creating a stored procedure to save the results in SQL, a template in Excel to hold the graphs & pivot tables and an SSIS package
to copy the data to the template.
Problem 1: When the data turns up in Excel it is saved as text rather than numbers.
Problem 2: When the data turns up in Excel it appends the data rather than overwriting it.
I resolved problem 1 by having another sheet which converts the text to numbers (=int(sheet1!A1))
I resolved problem 2 by adding some VB script to my SSIS package which clears the existing cells before copying the data
The job runs fine, however when I schedule the job to run overnight it complains "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID". A little googling tells me that running the client side commands in
my vb script (workSheet1.Range("A2:F9999").Clear(), workBook.Save(), workBook.Close() etc) from a server side task is bad practice.
So, I am left wondering how people usually get around this problem; copy a SQL table into an existing Excel file and overwrite the data, without having the numbers turn up as text. My requirements are that the report must display pivot charts with selectable
options and be automatically updated overnight.
Help appreciated,
Bish.
Office 2013 on my PC, Office 2010 on the server, Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise, SQL Server 2008R2.

I think that the best practice in case like this is to Link an excel file to a view or directly to a table. So you don't have to struggle with changing template, with overnight packages, etc. If the data are too much complex and the desiderate too excessive
then I tend to create a Cube and that's it...dashboard, graph and everyone is happy. In your case if the request is not too much try to don't use SSIS but directly build a view and point directly on SQL.
SSIS is really strong for the ETL, to run some stored procedure too heavy, to use a cut time scheduled, etcetera , etcetera, etcetera...I love it. But sometimes we need to find the easier solutions...
I hope this post helped you

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in Oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Thanks for your advise.
However, I missed to mention that we have two set of users One is for Finished Goods and another for Spares.
Only Spares users need to be prevented from creating Direct/Manual Sales Orders in Oracle.
As you suggested, if this will be done at Form level, that may Disallow FG users also to create Manula Sales Orders which should not be the case.
Further, I tried to test one scenario through Processing Constraints but it did not work.

Best practice to create users - Hybrid scenario

I would like to know what is the best practice for creating new users in a Hybrid scenario with all mailboxes hosted and no mailboxes on-premise.
Currently when creating a new user we go to our local EMC and create a 'New Remote Mailbox'. This creates the mailbox in Office365 and the local user account in one wizard.
After the new user is created we have to manually add the user to the correct distribution groups, and security groups.
We would like a way to create new users using a template which already has the correct distribution groups and security groups. This is how we did it prior to setting up the Hyrbrid scenario.
Is this possible? Can we create a user from a template and have the mailbox created in Office365 at the same time? We do not wish to create the mailbox locally then migrate it.

Thanks for the response DJStatik. I think this tool might be useful for creating users in bulk, however we are looking for a user template in the traditional sense.
Occasionally we have a new user and (prior to O365) would 'copy' the template user to ensure correct groups etc.
We have tried making users from the existing template we have, but in order to create the mailbox in O365, you need to 'mail enable' the user. We have noticed that doing this process causes issues with Autodiscover for that particular user.
To avoid the autodiscover issue, we have found it best to create the user and the mailbox in the same wizard - hence our new process that we would like a template.

BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
following message is displayed:
The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
password now to continue.
I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
Connections:
Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
Connections.
Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
connection.

You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
So that it won't ask for password.
Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

Data Extraction from CRM to BW

Hi,
I just need some information/help on BW Data Extraction from CRM, it would be great if some one could help out or mail some related help documents.
Currently we are implementing the complaints module in CRM simultaneously on the BW side we have identified an info cube for complaints 0CSAL_C09, but this cube and its ODS source does not have all the required fields like (newly created text types, serial number etc), so how these tables and fields can be identified in the source system and added to extract structure in CRM. Also what is the table in which the CRM transaction data would be stored.
Especially i require the newly added text types in CRM to appear in BW, there are around 5 new text types are added and user can enter free text, i need these information to be captured in reports. kindly mail me the steps to [email protected]
Thanks

Looking for best practices when creating DNS reverse zones for DHCP

Hello,
We are migrating from ISC DHCP to Microsoft DHCP. We would like the DHCP server to automatically update DNS A and PTR records for computers when they get an IP. The question is, what is the best practice for creating the reverse look up zones in DNS? Here
is an example:
10.0.1.0/23
This would give out IPs from 10.0.1.1-10.0.2.254. So with this in mind, do we then create the following reverse DNS zones?:
1.0.10.in-addr.arpa AND 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa
OR do we only create:
0.10.in-addr.arpa And both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 addresses will get stuffed into those zones.
Or is there an even better way that I haven't thought about? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Base on your description, creating two reverse DNS zones 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa and 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa, or creating one reverse DNS zone 0.10.in-addr.arpa, both methods are all right.
Best Regards,
Tina

Data Extraction from CRM

Hello Experts,
I am presently working on data extraction from CRM system. I understand that there are three ways of data extraction from the CRM system:
i) Using Middleware integration
ii) CRM BI integration through XI
iii) Generic ETL process as used when extracting data from other SAP systems
Can anyone please suggest which one is the best method to follow and why?
Thanks & Regards
Nikhil

Hi,
The Third option is the best one I would say.
Why to use any other way line XI integration or anything like that which involves more complexity in terms of development , maintenance and most importantly COST. SAP is providing you the standard set of extractors, it will be a wise choice.

Sales Order data from CRM

Hi all,
I want to upload Sales Order data from CRM to BW with DataSource "0CRM_SALES_ORDER_I".
The upload fails due to missing information that are needed in the first update rule of the Sales ODS "0CRM_SALO". In this update rule some formulars on data field level are created that require this information.
Examples of fields that are not delivered from the CRM:
0CRMLREQSCH     L. Req. Deliv. Date
0CRM_DLVSCH     Last Delivery Date
0CRMPAVSCHW     MAD (Requested)
0CRMPAVSCHC     MAD (Confirmation)
0CRMPGISCHW     Pl. GI Date (Req.)
0CRMPGISCHC     Pl. GI Date (Conf.)
So what is to do? Enhance the extractor or are there alternatives.
Cheers

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.

What are the best practices to create surrounding borders?

Good day everyone,
I was wondering what is the best practices to create a look in my iOS app like the one below? How are they accomplishing the creation of the borders, is there a tool in Xcode IB to do that?
Thank you in advance

Once again thanks for your input, however I am still not clear how you have accomplish the rounded corners, you do not mention that in your reply.
I did some research on my end and I was able to accomplish what I want with a UIView using the code below in an outlet:
redView.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
redView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
redView.layer.borderWidth = 5;
However, I cannot do the same for the UITableView or UITableView cell.
Thanks
