Business mapping, experts advice required

Dear Experts,
I need your suggestion for business mapping.
Our Client is Builder, who undertakes following types of projects:
1. Contracting Project - He just takes order for construction of building & executes. He pays for expenses of material, labour  & raises regular bills to customer.
This looks like Customer Project.
2. Development Project - He him self acquires land, constructs building & sells/leases flats, offices.
This looks like Investment project to me.
Where should we settle theses two?
Profitability Segment, Cost Center, AuC, G/L, etc....
Please advice.
Thanks in anticipation,
SSanjay

Hi,
In fact wanted to add something in the previous reply:
Case1: PSG.
Case2: FXA For investments.
For Customer: I would assume the real estate management would be the solution in support to PS.

  • Business Objects 4.0 (Custom functions) -- Expert advise required

    Good day All!!!
    I require a technical expert advise from this forum ASAP. I hope you have some time amidst
    your busy schedule and answer the required clarifications.
    Problem Description:
    I would like to write a custom function (e.g to convert local time zone to utc and from utc time zone to local) and import that function in the BO 4.0 universe so that universe has the ability to use this function.
    I understand BO 4.0 supports importing of the custom functions e.g data_quality_custom_functions.atl.
    Expert advise Required from you on below questions:
    Now my question is how to write a custom function and generate the required .atl files that can be imported in the universe?
    Does this require any specific tool/API's to generate these functions ?
    Can we use traditional languages like C/C++ to generate the custom functions or does it uses any script based languages?
    Is there any flexibility to accommodate complex algorithms in the custom based function?
    Are do we have to approach SAP to generate the .atl files by giving some interface document?
    It would be of great help at this stage if you could provide some insight into the mentioned areas as we are in a critical stage to finalize a design approach. If you have time to answer our queries and require additional details on why we have to go for custom functions then I will be glad to provide right level of details.
    Looking forward to your expert advise early....
    Thanks

    Yes, it is. Please, look at chapter 8.5.2 in the Business Intelligence Platform Administrator Guide.

  • Re: What is a Business Process Expert?

    Hello all,
    Maybe we should open the discussion a bit beyond a "Human Centric" BPX. The main theme after all IS "The Business Process". There are hundreds, possibly thousands of Business Processes depending upon whether you categorize as micro or macro processes. Any one of these either on a micro/macro level function with or without human beings and may utilize machines that assist or automate value added activities/processes which produce higher value service or products in the age old scenario [input > process > useful output & waste output].
    When we talk about Expert or Expertise, we are talking about precise know-how, and narrow domain knowledge wether depth or breadth knowledge.
    Referring back to a post by Luis Rincones, regarding ideas and concepts leading to BPX, automation of the business process should be the KEY focus of a BP engineer. Back in the late 80's early 90's, we referred to these BP engrs. as "Knowledge Engineers" and their principal goals were to interview "Experts" in order to extract expert knowledge (sometimes 20+ years of experience) and understand not only the flow of the process, but more importantly the RULES which govern all exceptions and variations encountered within the process, as well as "rules of thumb" in case the RULES don't apply.
    This is something which if we are truly to orient our Enterprise SOA architecture towards the goals of BPX mentioned above, will require a common "Rule Based Engine", which lives across all domains of knowledge, Objects, & environments, and works together with the design & development environment for the xAPP (I like to refer to them as "Expert Applications") and thereby enable not only the integration and homogenization of input data (via the technology stack), but also integrate the application of logic via a common rule based engine. In this way, E-SOA can also be enabled on the "useful" outbound process enabling services (actions) which mediate/manage/automate the process back to prescribed operating parameters.
    Of course, people can not be eliminated from the process. Lexus factory in Korea back in 2002 operated with approx. 60 or so people, 150 robots, and produced >300 units per day. People were mostly involved in QA and deviation functions.
    Automating the Business Process optimizes the output:input ratio and should minimize the waste:useful output ratio. By doing so, the ROI, ROA, and operating margins are maximized and competitive advantage gains against other not so able competitors.
    Any one else has a few words on this?

    You raise a very important and interesting question regarding whether there is any framework for narrowing down the domain of a Business Process Expert.
    There are many frameworks out there:
    http://www.bpmg.org/8omega.php
    http://www.prosci.com/tutorial-design-mod1.htm
    http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2004/volume08issue04/art11_collaboration/p01_abstract.htm
    From my experience, it is beneficial to focus on a critical "life support" process for the corporation.  Many times this can be started at the top level COO for instance, asking what is the # 1 thing which causes issues with customers, collections, services, etc..  One such item is "contract to cash" and specific sub-components of this process such as "unbilled hours" which if corrected prior to billing issuance will result in more accurate Invoices, and collections. An improvement of this nature shortens the cycle time of billing to collection, or hour entry to billing calculation, and with improved accuracy increases cash flow and lowers cost per transaction.
    What you are suggesting in terms of Media expert, etc.. is more associated with Roles which are aligned with Solution Scenarios within SAP.  Business Processes may span many roles, and are critical to the application being developed.
    I believe this is the purpose of BPM, but would welcome any further comments from colleagues regarding framework.
    Please take a look at the following BLOG as well as Lakshmikanth does a very good job explaning the landscape:

  • What is a Business Process Expert? and Business Analyst?

    In response to Sinem Dorter's very interesting and informative blog about Composite Analytics at Whirpool, I'd like to ask how people would really define what is going on there.
    Are modelers of composite applications business analysts? Business process experts? Application specialists? All of the above? None of the above?
    What unique skills are required to distinguish, say, a business analyst from a business process expert?
    And can a business process expert be a team of people: maybe an enterprise analyst, a business process expert and an IT application specialist?
    I'm curious to read responses.
    Judy

    Hi Judy,
    I agree with you. Sinems blog from Whirlpool is really interesting and well written.
    Thanks a lot that you have the courage to open the first discussion in relation to her blog.
    Now to your question what's the difference between a Business Process  Expert and a Business Analyst. 
    <u>Definition of a Business Analyst</u>
    Please find below a small  section of the Roles and Responsibility Matrix of SAP xApp Analytics . You will find it also in our OKP (Online Knowledge Product) of Analytics in Service Marketplace, alias rkt-analytics.
    - Responsible for assessing the business requirements
    - Communicate with the business users for project 
      requirements
    - Act as the critical link between end users’ business 
      requirements and data architecture solution together
      with the Application Developer
    - Possess and provide deep knowledge of current business
      scenarios such as: SAP BW Business Explorer Queries 
      and SAP CRM, SRM, MIC
    - Design and develop a data access solution
    - Understand SAP Analytics models and become an expert
      on Analytics
    - Conduct Analytics workshops
    - Create and provide business requirements documentation
    - Provide content “know-how” and knowledge transfer
      documentation
    <u>Definition of a Business Process Expert</u>
    Business process experts have the business knowledge and IT sway to make business process innovation happen in real time by adapting, composing, and executing end-to-end business processes using composition software tools and enterprise services. 
    SAP enables the business process expert to drive real-time business process innovation by providing a rich combination of industry business process and services content, and composition software tools from a proven business process platform.

    Now I am interested to hear what others say! 
    Also I am sure there are much more questions/comments regarding Sinems blog.
    Or do you have also experiences which you want to share with the BPX-Community?
    Don't hesitate to use the forum for this!
    Kind regards,

  • Expert advice needed: Why could I not connect to my own server after deletion of SSL certificate?

    Issue: Could not connect to my own server after deletion of SSL certificate despite having SSL disabled
    Hello,
    I admit I am lay user with rudimentary SSL knowledge and I therefore messed up my certificates and I could no longer access my own server (Wikis, WebDav, Device Manager) with Safari. (error: Safari can't connect to server)
    Eventually, I could resolve the problem but I do not understand why there was problem in the first place.
    Maybe someone can explain that to me ?
    OK, here is what I did:
    I created a Certificate Authority because I wanted to use a free SSL Server certificate for our private server.
    (I followed  http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/mac/create-your-own-ssl-ca-with-the-os-x-keycha in/388 )
    Despite several attempts I never got the server to accept the certificate for web services, the certificate was accepted for iCal, Mail and iChat but not for Web services. I tested an older certificate that was created when I set up the server and that that worked for all services incl. Web. So the problem was with my certificate only.
    Out of desperation and lack of concentration I deleted the "original" certificate.
    Now, I soon noticed that I could no longer log in to my server. I solved the problem by restoring the original certificate.
    My question:
    I had SSL disabled in the Server app settings. Why does Safari still look for a proper certicate ? (the server logfile had an entry that a .pem file could not be found which makes sense if the cert has been deleted)
    I would be very grateful for an expert advice.
    Regards,
    Twistan

    Because....
    the server does not have a 'trusted' certificate assigned to it.
    Only the RDP Gateway has the trusted certificate for the external name.
    If you want to remove that error, you have to do one of the following:
    Make sure your domain uses a public top level domaim, and get a public trusted certificate for your server.
    So, something like,
    server.domain.publicdomain.com
    Or,
    Install that certificate on your remote computer so it is trusted.

  • Need an expert advice in Implementing continuous delivery across environments

    Hi All,
    I need an expert advice/solution in implementing continuous delivery in our project. (PF Screenshot)
    Deployment goes like this.. 
    Dev checks in -> TFS Builds - > RM Invokes -> using PS/DSC -> Copies the binaries to DIT environemnt's IIS virtual dir -> Manual replacement of Web.config files (since we have many environments)- > App runs
    PS/DSC does following things : Copies binaries using X copy , Uploads SP excel reports , Executing Dacpac scripts etc ..
    Now the chanllenge earlier faced was wrt Web.Config files was, for every DIT environment many configurations, conn strings would change. In order to overcome this , Implemented Web.config transformations( like Web.DIT1.Config .... Web.DIT6.config in my solution
    explorer. 
    Added a custom MSBuild script in my .csproj file and before triggerig the build defination I 'd change in Process tab- > Basic - > Configuration = DIT1 (based on requirement) and triggers . )
    It perfectly deploys to the DIT 1 without manually replacing WEb.config files. 
    1) Now the blocker for me, Can we achieve this without Web.config transformations ? Since I don't want to expose the sensitive date in config files is there any way to implementing the same ?
    2) I wanted to have continuous deployments from DIT to SIT and from SIT to UAT etc , How can we achevive the same ?
       I m planning to implement the same with web.config tokenizing in RM?
    Looking for some expert advice in achieving the same?
    Many Thanks ,
    Abraham Dhanyaraj

    HI Abraham,
    Instead of having web config transformations to set config values for each environment do the following.
    1. Have one transformation config say for example web.release.config which will contain tokens understood by RM (starting and ending with double underscore) for each config value.
    <log4net>
    <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
    <file value="__log4netLogFile__" xdt:Transform="Replace" />
    </appender>
    </log4net>
    <ClientsSection>
    <Clients xdt:Transform="Replace">
    <add Id="__ClientId1__" Secret="__SecretCode1__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl1__"></add>
    <add Id="__ClientId2__" Secret="__SecretCode2__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl2__"></add>
    </Clients>
    </ClientsSection>
    <appSettings xdt:Transform="Replace">
    <add key="MinCaps" value="2" />
    <add key="MinSymbols" value="1" />
    <add key="MinNumerics" value="1" />
    <add key="MinLength" value="6" />
    <add key="MaxLength" value="" />
    <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
    <add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />
    <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="WebPortalName" value="__WebPortalName__" />
    <add key="TimeZoneFrom" value="Pacific Standard Time"/>
    <add key="TimeZoneTo" value="Mountain Standard Time"/>
    </appSettings>
    The TFS builds can generate output with above formatted configs with web config transformation.
    2. Then in RM server templates change the config files to have values depending on the environment. You can do this using a custom deployment component or default xcopy deployment component to set parameters.
    3. Then in the release template set the config values.
    Cheers!

  • Need Expert advice on choosing Source System for creating/maint Customers.

    Hi Experts,
    Iam on project where we have CRM,ECC(SD),FICA in the System Landscape.The client is currently using ECC(SD) Customer master for creating/maintainig Customer's.As we have CRM & FICA in this implementation, we are planning to propose that we use CRM as the source system for creating/maintaing Customers as Business Partners & Perform standard replication to the other system's in the landscape.
    The client has has asked us to confirm if having CRM as the source is the Best practice in the industry when we have this three systems (CRM,FICA,ECC(SD)) Landscape.I thought to get some expert advice on this & see if any of you have a similar project experience & share some views on this CRM BP vs ECC(SD) Customer Master.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Naveen

    Hi,
       I believe it depends on your business senario.Here I can share some my experience for you.
    CRM As Source System
    Advantage:
    1) Choosing CRM as source system ,you can create several roles of customer for tracking the presales process of customer，such as prospect ,sold to party ,customers ,also you can define the life cycle of your customer and control which life cycle of customer should be replicated to ECC and which one should not.
    2)  CRM can have more views of customer and customer defined field (EEWB fields) ,so if you choose CRM as Source it will be more convenient  to create and fill in the all your user defined field .In other words ,choosing ECC as source you have to extend these field again in CRM .
    3） easy to maintain customer relationship
    Disadvantages：
    1） Have to extend Company code view of Customer data, since CRM do not have these view ,it is  just used for billing and integration with financial accounts.
    2）  have to extend some particular partner function of customer ,it is because of CRM it is only possible to create part of partner function automatically like SP ,BP  when business partner  is replicating to ECC.
    ECC As the source
    Oppositely， if you choose ECC as the source ,the advantage become disadvantage.
    Advantage :
    1) Can Easily to create customer's data of company code view
    2)  Can easily to assign any partner function to customer
    To conclude， if you only need to create sales order in ECC ，I believe choosing ECC as Lead system is better, since you do not have to extend customer data and easily to integrate with FICO and SD.Howerver, if you are going to create a sales order from opportunity or quotation ,CRM is your best choice.

    Hi
    When you are transferring the material from one plant to other plant using mvt type 301 or 303/305 etc.,
    there is a field selection variation between the mvt type and G/L account which was triggered for this Transaction.For mvt type 301, the filed Business area is not mandatory and for G/L account 2201001 the feild is mandatory.
    You can resolve this by changing one of the field selection group, i.e. either MVt type or G/L account.to do this follow the procedure.
    1.Go to SE38
    2.Type program RM07CUFA
    3.Execute the program
    4.It will ask for Mvt type nad G/L account number, give the details and execute
    5.System will display the difference between the two filed selection groups.
    6.From the same screen , you can change the fileds option by selecting the error log.

  • Session/jstl  and load balancing - need expert advice

    After user loggs in, I am getting locale from db and storing it inside userSession along with userLogin. Inside jsp using <fmt> tag to display locale based resource property.
    HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(true);
    userSession.setAttribute("UserLogin", oRS.getString("user_login"));
    Config.set(userSession, Config.FMT_LOCALE, currentLocale);Also using filter after login page to check for User Session. Currently all working fine .
    But if i want to make use of load balancing, whether still it will work?
    1)I understand that if i depend on network config i.e. session request sticks to one server then i believe shld not be a problem
    2)But if that is not the choice then what else ? Client want to make use of serialization technique. I do not know much about it, how to implement it, any sample is greatly appreciated.
    3)what about jstl Config.set(..) whether any changes needed here?
    4)Do i need to change filter code.
    Pls pls help me, i really need expert advice on this.
    regards

    1)If i want cluster server to replicate the session
    then all attributes saved in the session have to be
    serializable.yes.
    2)In docs it is mentioned
    Use setAttribute to Change Session State
    In an HTTP servlet that implements
    javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, use
    HttpSession.setAttribute (which replaces the
    deprecated putValue) to change attributes in a
    session object. If you set attributes in a session
    object with setAttribute, the object and its
    attributes are replicated in a cluster using
    in-memory replication. If you use other set methods
    to change objects within a session, WebLogic Server
    does not replicate those changes. Every time a change
    is made to an object that is in the session,
    setAttribute() should be called to update that object
    across the cluster.
    Whether it means that if I want to store a object
    (which is serializable) e.g. 'String' inside session
    and use setAttribute() method then I do not need to
    make that object implicitly serializable?No, you still need the objects to be serializable.
