Business packages on 1 J2EE and connecting to multiple R/3 clients?

Hi,
We have an installation with on R/3 side one client on 1 SAP system; this system is ERP2004. On this environment we have the ESS business packages installed (on J2EE).
At this moment we are splitting up our environment and we are considering either completely separeted system per company or just one system with a separate client per company.
If we do a complete split of the system, I don't see any major issues as everything will be split.
Gor the 2nd option: If we want to install the business package on 1 system but for multple clients, I don't find any documenation on tyhe possibilities of this option.
Any idea if this is possible and if so what are the limitations, pitfalls etc?
Best Regards,
Michel

Hi Rune,
For the new R/3 Client that you want to add...create an SLD entry for the Technical System(if the Tech system is already there, add the new client to the Tech System)...
Create a new bussiness sytem for this new client that we added, make sure that the Logical system name is updated correctly as maintained in the R/3 Client.
Import the new business sytem to the Integration Directory, Create RFC/IDOC comm. channels for this bussiness systems.
Now if you want to add this as a recipient to an existing scenario...Open the receiver Determination for that scenario and add this bussiness system as a receiver.. maintain the interface determination and receiver agreement for this addition and that should be it...
Thanks,
Renjith

Crystal Reports and connecting to multiple tables in a dataset - I'm Going Crazy!!

This is my first application, first report and first everything. Wouldn't you know the report I am trying to produce is probably more difficult!! What is happening is that I have a form(screen) up in my application with the information displayed on it from a recrod in a table that I want to put on a report to be view and/or printed and eventually down the road I want to incorporate a signature. One step at a time though, here is what I have accomplished. I have created the report, I have gotten it to display in the viewer but it will not push the data from the table that I want displayed. It only displays the text that I have typed on the form. This is a Visual Basic application created in Visual Studio 2005 using a SQL database. If you need more information then just ask and I will try to fumble through and tell you what I know. (Oh and to top it off............I am also trying to get information to display from other tables also (codes connected to descriptions etc.))
Any help would be really appreciated as I have went through tutorials, read white papers, tech notes and anything else I can find but I just can't get it to work!!
Thanks!

You do need to give more information. To better help, we would need to know the database, when you say SQL do you mean SQL Server, how you created the dataset, whether there are multiple tables in a single dataset or multiple datasets, etc.
The report appears to be running so the underlying issue as you know will likely be the dataset. You may want to confirm the dataset does in fact have data in it. Returning a simple count will let you know there are rows. If you used the components rather than code to create the objects you can also see the data returned in the fill process.
Once you know you have data in the dataset, you can check your reports connection to the dataset.
Just hang in there... the problem is probably a simple fix. I am sure others will follow on with more suggestions.

Multiple JNDI connections and connecting to multiple schemas

Currently I have some code that makes a connection to a specific schema in the oracle database.
I need to somehow connect to more than one schema and do some resultset processing on tables in two different schemas.
How can I do I establish the connection to two schemas with JNDI?
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Big traffic and connecting by multiple patchcords?

Did connecting switch with computers to router by a few ethernet cables has sense? I would like to ensure 1gb connection speed on each part of my big network (about 50pcs, one nas).
I am planning to conenct NAS by 4 cables, NAS has 4 ethernet interfaces, so I have to configure 4 ips. But I dont know how to do it with switches.

You don't have to configure 4 IPs in a scenario like that. Just configure an etherchannel between these devices. You should find that in the NAS-documentation under "channeling", "LACP" or "802.3ad".
Don't stop after you've improved your network! Improve the world by lending money to the working poor:

Possible to run 2 different Business Packages for ECC 5.0 and 6.0 ?

Hi there,
anybody knows a solution, to support a Busienss Package for ECC5.0 and 6.0 on one NW7.0 Portal?
We build a concernportal as mainportal with different companies in one portal. These companies have their own SAP-Systems.
It´s a complex systemlandscape:
Company ABC have a SAP HR System with ECC5.0 with one client 401.
Company XYZ have a SAP HR System with ECC6.0 with TWO clients 020 and 050.
These both companies wants to get the Business Package for ECC5.0 and ECC6.0
Our solution is to implement the Federated Portal Network, thats works very fine. (Okay, Sessionproblem with ECC5.0)
For company ABC we installed a Javastack on host to install the WebDynpros directly to targetsystem ECC5.0
For company XYZ we have a problem with FPN, because the two clients in the targetsystem.
We installed a Javastack with portal on this machine, import BP for ECC6.0, customize portal and ABAP and pick the roles vis FPN from mainportal. But only for ONE client (020).
Now we can´t connect these Jco´s to the other client, because the users, tehre are in client 050 are not in 020 for logon to the portal. The portal supports only one client as UME on a doublestack-installation.
On Mainportal we don´t install any business packages, because there are only for one Targetrelease.
SAP Help have a solution for mapping the Jco´s, but don´t help us:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/DE/af/84a34098022a54e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Does anyone have same problems?
Must we install a Javaonly-system, to connect the other Client for company XYZ (050) ?
Best regards
Christian

There are two approaches (that I'm aware of):
- install external authentication (such as an LDAP which can be populated from the R/3 backends)
- install an additional Java instance
I would go for both of them because
- it will make things easier if you implement other functionality that is in the portal (non-ESS)
- it will avoid patching one portal and to keep the SPs of both backend systems in sync with the portal

How to import and test a business package

Hi All,
I have created one Business package and want to test it.
I found one blog and followed the steps, but I am not able to see any folders named 'cFolders' under 'Content Administrator->Portal Content->Migrated Content->EP 5.0->roles-cFolders' as specified in the blog.
This is the link to blog:
Step by step guide to implement Business Package for Collaboration by cFolders 2.0
Also, should I sent par files used to create iView and system along with the business package, as I have created iView using 'New From par' and iView type is 'com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap' and system of type 'com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp' using 'New From Par'.
Pls provide me the inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Try re-starting the portal J2EE engine to see whether you see the contents as mentioned.
Also to test the business package create a user and assign one of the roles mentioned and log on with that user to see the contents.
Please award points if this helps or hints.

Reports available in the Business Package for MSS and ESS

Hi,
I have searched sdn.sap.com throughout looking for a comprehensive list of reports available in the business packages for both MSS and ESS, i got a little bit of joy and found some of the MSS reports but not all on sdn.sap.com, can anyone please advise where i would find such information on both these packages, just to re-iterate, i am looking for a list of reports these business packages offer? any help much appreciated.
Thanks
John
P.s any documents can be sent to [email protected]

@John
(1) ESS- We built our own custom PORTAL role/workset in which one of the worksets we created is called "Tools and Forms". Under that workset, we placed various pages/iViews that either are simple URL iViews that link to external documents and such (like vacation request forms since they do not do online leave requests yet) as well as a couple ot t-code iViews that run reports in ECC for the employee. Nothing very mind blowing there. Just some content creation on the portal side.....oh, and some config on the backend to create a Homepage Framework Area Page and all for it (I liked that part!)
(2) Wow....talk about perfect timing...I just had to document the way MSS sees the MDT reports in it's "reporting" area yesterday! haha Here goes the quick explaination....in configuration for MDT, you have various "scenarios". These kinda determine which "groups" of reports will show in MDT. For MSS for the Reporting webdynpro/service, the scenario is RPT0 (in ECC 5.0, at least). Soooo if you look at the function CODES assigned to RPT0, you will see several for Training and one for Accounting (Cost Centers)...you can reference the function CODES listed back to the "pool"/library of function codes a bit up/previous in the same config area for MDT(I think it is called "Define Function Codes"). However, there is one more piece you will see listed under RPT0....it is a DIRECT call to function MODULE "HR_HIS_READ" (this was a bugger to find because I could not find the "Maternity" report listed in the function codes and had to figure out where the heck it was coming from! haha). Anyways....what the function MODULE actually does is call the HR Information System (HIS) passing it the RPT0/MSS scenario. This returns the particular reports for Employee Data and Time&Attendance. You can see this if you run the HR_HIS_READ function directly and enter RPT0 for the second input value (first and third are not needed or you can just enter "*". Sooooo that is how the "magic" happens. Hope that explained it. From there, you can simply config you own scenario/reports to add into MSS if you like.
Hope this helped!

Business Package for Communication with NW04 and Exchange 2003?

Hi, we are evaluating opportunities to realize a groupware integration in the SAP Portal EP60SP2. A upgrade to Netweaver is planned, so the possible solution should work with Netweaver too. Our Exchange version is 2003.
I'm thinking about the standard SAP Groupware-Integration in combination with the Business Package for Communication.
Has anyone expirences with the Business Package for communication, Netweaver and Exchange 2003, yet?
I know, it's not officially supported, but maybe it works.
With the OWA-iViews we've got problems to implement our Styleguide and to devide into different iViews. The informations shown in the iViews of the Business Package are adequate and we would save ActiveX.
Is there another solution that works?
Are there other iViews from 3rd party developers, that show Outlook informations? Has anyone realized something like this in a project yet?
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
Please note that the Business Package for Communication was only available for SAP EP 5.0. Newer releases of SAP EP contain the groupware (GW) functionalities and some GW iViews automatically as soon as KM is installed with the EP. The integration with MS Exchange 2003 should work. If you look for iViews such as Send EMail, Create Appointment, Show availability and Room Calendar, you can use the iViews shipped by SAP. If however you need the EMail inbox or the personal calendar and tasks, then the native OWA iViews are the way to go. For further details please refer to the SAP NetWeaver admin guide http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0c/30d624a0fae949902f7a4b2a8f98bd/frameset.htm.
Hope that helps

Business Package for Internal Sales Representative 1.0

I'm trying to install the Business Package for Internal Sales Representative 1.0 to explore the options of using Business Packages in our portal. I have the SAP Library Link for this BP ( http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/EN/b7/036b4060a1181ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm ), and I've looked at the configuration information on the page.
So far I've imported the business package for common parts and the business package for internal sales representative, I assigned the alias "SAP_ECC_SalesService" to our ECC connection (does it need to be the default alias?). We also have an ITS installed for the connected system. We don't currently have our BI system connected to this portal, but it said that was optional. I have also assigned the role from each business package to my user, but when I open the iviews, they give me errors.
I am not sure what I am supposed to do to make the settings for the launchpad. Also, what other steps do I need to complete? Do I need to do something in the source system to set up the connection?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Owen

One of the errors is as follows, but it is because BI is not connected to this portal, as the documentation says the connection is optional for this business package:

Are Business Packages Useless ?

For a customer implementation, we are evaluating the EP Business packages.
the Customer has mySAP 4.7 and BW, and interested in the areas of purchasing, finance, controlling, inventory management. The customer is not using SAP-HR.
we are finding that the business packages are very shallow, and hardly provide any useful functionality.
We feel that SAP has over hyped that Business Packages will solve all your problems and will provide considerable EP content for business users.
Our findings are that Business Packages (except for ESS, MSS and for CRM/SRM) are very shallow, and you can do things better using your current SAP transactions and BW queries.
i would be interested to know your experiences and if you are happy with the Business Package offering from SAP.

Actually, we do have standard business scenarios in Finance, Purchasing, Controlling, Inventory and Materials Management.
We did evaluate each and every BP from SAP for EP.
The fact is that BPs are shallow and hardly provide useful functionality for standard scenarios.
I can find that BPs for ESS, MSS for SAP-HR, and the SAP CRM, SRM have some significant funcationality.
All the rest of the BPs targetted for SAP ERP and BW do not have useful iviews. Also, all the transactions that are useful are delivered through SAPGUI or ITS transactions. We can develop the same thing without using the BP.
Hence, our finding is:
- BP for mySAP ERP provide 10% functionality.
- The rest of the scenarios have to developed by the customer through SAPGUI / ITS / custom developed iViews.
- BW queries are customer specific based on how we run our business. The BP queries are not useful and we have to use our currently developed BW queries.
Overall, we are quite disappointed and disagree with the statement that BP can be valuable and can accelerate EP project development.
I would be interested to see where and how you derived 80% benefit through BPs. I hope you can prove me wrong

CRM business package 60.1.2 vs 60.2.3

Hi,
We are currrently investigatiing integrating CRM 4.0 functionality into Portal 6.0 SP19 using business packages.
I would like to know what are the main differneces between CRM Business Packages 60.1.2 and 60.2.3?
The link to online documentation via https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio seems to point to the same information for both. (http://help.sap.com/Business_Packages/EN/93/35C73C3D91995BE10000000A114084/frameset.htm)
Which is the correct version to use with SAP Best Practices V2.60, N12?
Regards
Sunil

Infact, there is already an OSS message existing. I did
search with wrong 'application component' name.
Inbrief, the solution is that you are not supposed to use
those two iviews with ECC50, since they belong to prior
release of HR implementation.
Hope this helps,

Business Packages for Maintenance Technician

Hi all.
We imported the Business Package for Maintenance Technician and previously we followed the prerequisites on the documentation.
For the step "You have set up the system alias SAP ECC Manufacturing in the portal" the alias was created for the system SAP_R3, I simply create the alias n no more.
When i try to execute the preview of any iView i.e. "Create Confirmation" the following error appears:
"Exception in SAP Application Integrator occured: Application URL ':///sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/rman_prsp_conf_app/;sap-ext-sid=x2bvhbLxismPPWD3O5rgfA%3D%3D7AFrHLsz6dPb8oNUuj4jqg%3D%3D' is not valid! Please check the protocol and host entries for system 'SAP_ECC_Manufacturing'..
Exception id: 12:03_26/02/07_0022_19277150
See the details for the exception ID in the log file"
Does anybody knows what i have to do or where am i wrong.
Thx.
Best Regards.
Gregory.

Hi Vicky.
Sorry about the delay.
I think the order is not too important, only the first step: installation of the business package for common parts.
I recomends u follow the prerequisites on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/04/5cd2416d9c1c7be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Also have a look to the oss notes: 517484 n 921051
Define a SAP_R3 system into the portal with the following properties:
1) Connector
Application Host: <ur ECC hostname> (complete)
Remote Host Type: 3

SAP System Number: <ur ECC system number>

System Type: SAP_R3
2) ITS

ITS Path: /sap/bc/gui/sap/its
ITS Protocol: http
3) WAS

Web AS Protocol: http
4) User Management

And with the aliases: SAP_ECC_Manufacturing n SAP_ECC_Common.
I hope it helps u.
