Business Package Question

All,
We are about to install SAP CRM 2007 business package and I just wanted to check if anyone knows whether it is backword compatible or not.
My other question is let assume we installed this business package to our portal (EP 7.0) but our CRM system is 4.0. Would integration still work? For instance would it impact CRM (4.0) transaction iviews?
I appreciate any help.
Regards.

Hi
It should not affect your existing transaction iViews supposing transaction still exists in the upgraded system.
CRM 2007 is based on WDA as UI where as earlier versions where mainly BSPs,so you need to check what are all thing supported in new version.

Business Packages question

Hi,
Can someone tell me if ESS/MSS Business packages are part of a Support Pack Stack? In other words, are these always implemented outside of a support pack stack or are they also part of a support pack stack level?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rick Taylor

Rick,
Business packages are add-on components on to the portal.
You might want to consider these sap notes for an insight into business packages.

Question about Business packages of self service

Dear all,
I have installed correctly EP and ERP 6.0 EHP 4, now I would like to deploy the business packages of ESS/MSS in order to test it, for what I understood, I need to download the following:
BP ERP05 ESS 1.41
BP ERP05 MSS 1.41
SAP ESS 603
SAP PCUI_GP 603
SAP MSS 600
The porblem is that for every one business package in the marketplace, there are like 10 SCA files to download, do I have to download them all or only the latest one?
Thank you very much

always match your backend suport pack level with frontend using this matrix, this way it will be compatible
you need to ensure they are on correct levels! Please check below

Question about "BUSINESS PACKAGE FOR COMMUNICATION"

We want to configure "BUSINESS PACKAGE FOR COMMUNICATION_50_4_5" for EP 6.0 SP2. We have imported mentioned package in our EP 6.0. There are no errors in logfile.
In document "Transfer Collaboration Rooms from EP 5.0 to EP 6.0" (item 3.8) is described how we can create and configure systems for "Communication Framework", "Address Book Component", "Java Mail Connector" and "Mail Server", that was mentioned in documentation to "BUSINESS PACKAGE FOR COMMUNICATION_50_4_5".
But we can't create those systems because portal's archives: "com.sapportals.pct.comm.systems" and "com.sapportals.pct.col.sync.systems" are absent in our system (System Administration > System Configuration > System > Portal Content. Right click on directory and select "New From Portal Archive").
What we can do in this situation?

Hi Slava,
the Communication Package has been discontinued, it it not supported with EP6.
For the Coll.Rooms you have to configure the Groupware Connector according to the Admin Guide.
Hope this helps.

Best Practice in using Business Packages

Hi All,
Are there any Best Practices in the use of Business Package content? Do you assign the Roles delivered by the Business Package and do you make changes to the original iViews?
or
Do you copy the content delivered in the Business Package to a new folder and work with there?
These questions are purely at the configuration level and not at the Java coding level. For instance if I want to turn of the iView Tray, or change a parameter such as height, or even remove an iView from a page or Role.
I would like to know the various approaches the SDN community uses and the different challenges and benefits that result in each approach.
Look forward to hearing from you all
Paul

Hi Paul,
I also build my own roles. The only time I might use the standard roles is for demo purposes early in a project. You will find that in some cases the business packages like MSS don't always even include standard roles, so you have no choice but to build.
I never change any of the standard iViews/Pages/Worksets - ever.
The most contentious issue seems to be whether to do a full or delta link copy of the standard objects. I tend to initially do a full copy of the objects into a custom folder set in the PCD and modify those. Then I only use delta links from Page to iViews where I need the option of setting different properties for the same iView if it appears in multiple pages. Delta links can be a bit flakey at times, so I tend to only use them where I have to. I suspect that I may get to a point where I don't use them at all.
Just my 2 cents worth....
Regards,
John

Not sure if you got an answer for this question. Just saw this..
See SAP Help URL http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/42/ef6861370a1bcae10000000a11466f/content.htm
Excerpt below from SAP Help on Context ID:
Including the Generic Key Figure Monitor in the SAP NetWeaver Portal
Use
You only have to carry out this procedure if you want to put together your own portal role using various parts developed by SAP or by yourself.
Prerequisites
·        You are in the content administration for the Portal.
·        You have created a role in the portal.
·        You want to include the KEY_FIGURE_MONITOR iView from the Common Parts business package in the portal page of your role using delta link. The iView is called Key Figure Monitor.
·        In the I_CONTEXT_ID parameter, you have created a unique four-digit alphanumerical key for the generic key figure monitor that identifies an instance of the key figure monitor within the role. If you want to use the key figure monitor more than once in your role, you must create a unique key each time you use the generic key figure monitor in the role.
You have created a role in the portal. This role contains two iViews, which contain the generic key figure monitor. iView aaa.bbb.ccc and iView xxx.yyy.zzz. Set the following values in the Property Editor for the iViews in the property category Application Parameters:
§         For the iView aaa.bbb.ccc: I_CONTEXT_ID=1111
§         For the iView xxx.yyy.zzz: I_CONTEXT_ID=2222

Change iviews installed from a business package

Hi experts,
I'm working on EP 2004s and I would like to know if there is a way to change iviews installed in the portal from a business package using Visual Composer. Can I copy them into my own created package in VC?
Thanks
Panos

Hi,
Usually Business Package iviews - especially the older ones - aren't based on Visual composer models but rather older IView technology. Therefore, it should be impossible to change them in VC.
I've heard that SAP may be considering releasing business packages (XSS?) as VC models but never heard any confirmation regrading this. Probbaly based on the support-related questions. I once blogged on this <a href="/people/community.user/blog/2007/01/30/enterprise-soa-explorations-fragments.

Hi David,
     Thanks for getting back to me. One question, Do I need to install CMS seperately or the does
     the BusinessObjects installs it?
     When I did the BusinessObjects install it installed the Microsoft SQL server 2008 Express and created an
     SQL Server Instance named BOE140. I checked with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (which I downloaded from Microsoft) and saw that no tables were created.
     Regarding the message
     "(.\crypto.cpp:199). (FALSE : digest exception: The FIPS140 shared library could not be found (10027))."
     listed in the log file above, what is my system missing.
     Looks like CMS is not getting installed.
     I am doing the install on a VMware Windows 2008 system with 8 GB ram and 50 GB file space.
     Are there any special requirements of configuration on the Windows system?
     Thanks for your help,
     Arvind

Print functionality in MDM Standard Business Packages iViews

Hi Experts,
I have successfully connected MDM repository and EP and created system objects and system aliases and suitable user mapping. Now I am having a page with 5 iViews - Text Search, PickList search, Hierarchy search, Resultset and ItemDetails.
The requirement is to have a print button in the page which when, clicked will generate a user friendly (preferrably a PDF) page and will allow the user to take a print out of the resulting PDF page generated.
I have gone through the following links
[Re: Print button;
To be more specific, I am still not sure how to add a custom button and action to a standard iView - the deployed portal content is not a Web Dynpro application =, although I am not very sure what exactly is it.
Regards.
Rohit

Hi vara,
Question 1: How to add default search criteria to Search iViews in
MDM Portal Business Package
Ans. You can make use of Named Searches. Open the Data Manager Create a entry in the Named Search table, select the desired Supplier as a search criteria and save the search in the Named Search created and assign this Named Search to the user in MDM Console. Now use this user while performing User Mapping step. This will limit the Records to the search criteria of the named search and whenever you create new records satisfying the search criteria, it will get added to named search automatically.
For 2 and 3
I tried this in MDM 5.5 SP02, but no luck

ESS Business Packages Migration from Ehp3 to Ehp4 with Custom Changes

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0 With Ehp3 and We have the following versions of ESS and MSS Business Packages Installed.
SAP_ESS 603 SP4
SAP_MSS 600 SP15
We have NWDI server also installed in this and made some Customizations in ESS Webdynpro Java based applications.
We have freshly installed a new portal development server with Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1 to cleanup unneccessary stuffs in our existing development portal server and pointed to the upgraded backend ECC 6.0 Ehp4.
The NWDI also installed freshly in the new server.
While upgrading, following Business Packages versions are recommended by SAP.
SAP_ESS 603 SP6
MSS 600 SP17
PCUI_GP 603 Sp 06
Now in the New portal server every applications works fine as delivered Out of the box and we are missing all the Webdynpro Java customizations which we have made as part of the Ehp3 based ESS Implementation.
We are in the process of Creating the New track in the New NW 7.0 Ehp1 server and import the .SCA files.
My Question is how can we get the automatic migration process, so that the Webdynpro Java Customizations which we have done in the Previous track in Ehp3 with different ESS SP level can be carry forwarded to our New NWDI Server.
How can we go ahead?. We are thinking of the following options and your suggestions are highly appreciated.
1. Import the .SCA files related to Ehp4 and do the Webdynpro Java changes manually again in the DCs of Newly created track    in the New NWDI server.
2. Is there a way to migrate a Track from One Server to another NWDI server with the Custom changes carry forwarded.
What are all the possible ways to achieve track migration to the new server with custom changes carry forwarded.
Appreciate your valuable inputs in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
There is a cook book provided by SAP as attachment of note 872892. you can follow the process to have your custom DC's migrated to new Support pack of ESS/MSS.

Enterprise Portal Business Package for Dealer Poral

Hello Gurus,
I am not much into Auto, but what I would like to understand here - is there any Business Package ( Portal Content ) released from SAP which I can deploy and access the VMS and WMS functions over Enterprise Portal.
If not, are there sets of services available in the backend IS-Auto, which needs to be activated and access over Portal as IAC templates or Transaction iViews.
This is relatively urgent query and appropriate answer will surely be reqarded.

Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

Hi all,
Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
regards
Sam

Balaji,
in mySAP we had the opition to lauunch the applications in web dynpro. like launch leave approval in web dynpro. do we have this kind of optiion where the manager can approve the work item on the portal application or will it call a transaction based iview to open the work item in the R/3

We have a newly installed Portal 7.3 without any Business Packages installed in it.
My Questions are,
1. If i go with same backend ECC 6 Ehp 4 with Portal 7.3, than what are all the BP's that i have to deploy?
2. Can i go with same Business packages   those i am using currently with Portal 7.01?
3. How to migrate my ESS and MSS apps (customized apps NWDI )from Portal 7.01 to 7.3
4. in future if we upgarde our backend to EHP 5 than what happens to WD java Application. i come to know that ESS application are totally built on WD ABAP for EHP5
Please help me out to determine the correct Business packages for my requirement.
Thanks & Regards
Rajeev Bikkani

Hi,
> 1. If i go with same backend ECC 6 Ehp 4 with Portal 7.3, than what are all the BP's that i have to deploy?
BP's depends upon what all functionality you want to use. e.g If you are using ESS/MSS then you need to deploy BP's for ESS/MSS.
> 2. Can i go with same Business packages   those i am using currently with Portal 7.01?
You should install latest version of BP's on NW 7.3 like for ESS/MSS latest version is 1.51.
> 3. How to migrate my ESS and MSS apps (customized apps NWDI )from Portal 7.01 to 7.3
You need to migrate all these customization manually as PAR files are not more supported for NW 7.3.
> 4. in future if we upgarde our backend to EHP 5 than what happens to WD java Application. i come to know that ESS application are totally built on WD ABAP for EHP5
>
It depends upon you. If you want to use ESS/MSS for web dynpro ABAP then you need to install BP of ESS for web dynpro ABAP but if you don't want to use web dynpro then you can use same way as you are doing currently.
Check SAP Note 1450179 - ESS Based on Web Dynpro ABAP Available.
Thanks
Sunny
