Catalog creation in SPRO vs BBP_CUST_CAT

SRM 4.0
I thought BBP_CUST_CAT was the same transaction as going through SPRO --> Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Define External Web Services. However, when comparing the catalogs in BBP_CUST_CAT vs SPRO - SPRO contains all the catalogs and BBP_CUST_CAT is missing some. What controls the visibility of catalogs displaying in bbp_cust_cat? Is there a seperate transaction which will show all catalogs?

Hi,
You could probably create a new parameter transaction (SE93) for the transaction SM34 and skip first screen with view cluster name as WSI_MVC.
Then when you execute this transaction, it will directly open the view cluster.

SRM Contract Catalog - Creation without XI - is that possible?

Hi,
I am working with a customer on SRM 4.0 / CCM 2.0 / Business Connector 4.7 ( standalone scenario ).
We need to have contract catalogs in our system.
So I read the post from Waheed Mohammad with similar request, but the different is, that I don´t have XI and I do not know what the business scenario "MasterDataInclusion" is
Does anybody know, if SRM Contract Catalog Creation works with Business Connector 4.7 too?!
And what settings have to be done?!
Would be glad, if someone could give me a hint.
Thanks and Regards,
J.H.

Hello Jason,
thanks, I suspect it !
Do you know if it is possible with Business Connector 4.7 ?!

SRM Contract Catalog - Creation

Hi,
I am working with a customer on SRM 5.5 /CCM 2.0.
We need to have product and contract catalogs in our system.
1) Do we necessarily need to have CCM on another client?
2) We have initialized CCM with the /ccm/ccm_initialize report. After we run the BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG report SRM Product Catalog gets created. How does the SRM Contract catalog get created? Is there a separate report for that?
4) Do we necessarily need XI for my scenario?
Any helpful answers would be greatly appreciated. [and rewarded, ofcourse :-)]
Thanks and Regards,
Waheed

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Couple of associated queries.
1) XI configured and the business scenario MasterDataInclusion set up.
Yes, it is set up for us.
2)A logical system entry for CCM defined as a backend system with type Cataloge.
We have CCM on the same client as the SRM EBP. So, we have already defined this client logical system as Local B2B. I cannot define the same logical system again as type CATALOG. So, should I create a dummy entry for this CCM backend system.. without any client assignment that is?
3)We dont have a supplier catalogue scenario. Only Product & Contract Catalogues.
When I executed the BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG first time a SRM Product Catalog got created. Is the contract catalogue expected to be created then itslef?
Because, after we release our contracts there is no contract creation/updation happening in the CCM. Is the contract catalogue expectd to be created the first time we release any catalogue with the tick on?
Everytime we release a conract an error log is being generated for a user WF-BATCH with message
"Recepient not found.
The error ocurred by processing event RELEASED_NEWLY with GUID 70D3DB446F7CEC36E10000000A0000E8 and object_id= 5000000213" [5000000213 is our contract number"
Is this relevant to my problem? What is the issue here?
Thanks a lot again for your patience.

Waheed

Error is having following short text.
Field symbol has not yet been assigned.
Error analysis
    You attempted to access an unassigned field symbol
    (data segment 92).
This error may occur for any of the following reasons:
    - You address a typed field symbol before it is set using ASSIGN
    - You address a field symbol that points to a line in an internal table
      that has been deleted
    - You address a field symbol that had previously been reset using
      UNASSIGN, or that pointed to a local field that no longer exists
    - You address a global function interface parameter, even
      though the relevant function module is not active,
      that is it is not in the list of active calls. You can get the list
      of active calls from the this short dump.
Please tell me how to correct this error.

Need help with Catalog creation

I have a catalog of 500 item I would like to sell over the
web . This catalog is in a PDF format with graphics and text . How
can I get into contribute and add the paypal cart buttons. I am
trying to eliminate the need of recreating the catalog when it is
all already created and shoud be able to convert for use in
contribute. any help would be appreciated . If contribute is not
the product for me let me know that as well. The catalog was
created in illustrator and saved as a PDF file (if this
helps)

If you have the source design in Illustrator - you might want
to use Dreamweaver or GoLive instead, so that you can insert your
graphics and text elements using layers and hotslices. Contribute
can then be used to manage your site content. For a simple site
design, you can incorporate existing sample templates in
Contribute, and then add the paypal shopping object to them. Since
you have the graphical mockup in Illustrator this should be two
ways to approach your catalog to web design.

Catalog Database creation

Hi Joel Pérez,
I accidentally replied on your topic 'RMAN ( CATALOG CREATION ) STEP BY STEP'.So i am very sorry. I need your help.
According to 'Recovery Manager user's Guide' allocation disk space for recovery catalog database are-
SYSTEM tablespace 90 MB
Temp tablespace 5 MB
Rollback or undo tablespace 5 MB
Recovery catalog tablespace 15 MB
Online redo logs 1 MB each (3 groups, each with 2 members)
Is it possible to create system tablespace on 90MB on 9i rel2? Do i need to run the catalog.sql,catproc.sql & other scripts on catalog database?
Please give me a guide line how to create a catalog database.
Arif Md. Eftekhar Rashid.

Hi joel
I successfully created catalog database and can backup from there. I have created two database one for my production database and one for catalog. I created those databases using dbca. Catalog database should be as small as possible for the shortage of my storage. So During the createtion of catalog database Should I include the follwing additional feature
Oracle Spatial
Oracle Ultra Search
Oracle Data Mining
Oracle OLAP
Oracle JVM
Oracle interMedia
Oracle Text
XDB Protocols
What is the function of those additional features? Can I eliminate those option during the creation of production database too?

Error connecting to bi bean catalog with jdev

I'm in the process of getting the bibdemo up and running.
Started with oracle 9ir2 and applied the patch set 1 as directed by the bib903 installation instructions. After installtion of bib903 ran catalog creation scripts without any errors. Installed the bibdemo (latest) without any errors as well.
Started up jdeveloper....
While testing my connection to the bi bean catalog I get
an error telling me that the connection was successful but the metadata is not valid and could not be retrieved.
As far as I can tell, everything is valid. I went ahead and copied the jdbc drives from oracle_home/jdbc/* from the database into the jdev/jdbc/home.. Also i removed the olap api 901 jar from the 'available library list'
Neither things seem to make a difference...
TIA...

Hi
As part of your patching process did you run the sql module CATPATCH.SQL? If not please refer to the patch note instructions for details on how to apply this patch. This patch must be fully applied for BI Beans 9.0.3 to work correctly.
Also please check that olap_api_92.jar is in the JDEV_HOME/jdev/lib/ext directory. This will ensure that the correct connection architecture is in place. If the file is not in this directory copy it from the JDEV_HOME/bibeans/lib directory. The file olap_api_901.jar must not be in the JDEV_HOME/jdev/lib/ext directory, if it is please delete it.
Hope this helps

How to create a Catalog (Product/Service) & TAX issues

SRM Guru's
Product Ver: SRM 5.0 : ECC 6.0 ( No CCM or Service Master )
TAX S/w: Vertex ( O )
As of now: We are planning to implement a vanilla SRM-ECC (in ext. classic). We are into Indirect procurement w/limit orders.
Catalog:
I want to create a Catalog ( UNSPSC or 1 level company catalog),
 1. Can this be created in ECC (with out Products ) and replicated to SRM (EBP)
 2. How to go about creating it ?
 3. Can it be done with out CCM, if so how
 4. How to replicate it ? ( no CCM or middleware )
 5. Can i create it in EBP ? if so, plse say how..
TAX:
Vertex mentioned that, Tax codes will be mapped to services, in our case, since we dont have Services except a free form text describing what service is provided ( eg: "Payroll Service" ), what can be done ?
In a normal scenario, i can imagine having Service Master with all "Services", but in our situation, how can we use catalog to map to TAX codes. ?
PS: If you could, please describe/break down the relationship between
 Catalog -- Category Id -- Product -- Services/Materials
regards.,

To create internal catalog there are three possibilities
1. CCM Catalog developed by SAP.
2. SRM-MDM Catalog taken over by SAP.
3. Requisite Catalog other catalog provider.

MDT 2012 Deployment Workbench cannot genererate catalog for any images

It just hangs generating a catalog for the operating system (Windows 7 64-bit) and says it "could take a long time."
I have tried with multiple images.
I have waited a long time (more than 30 minutes) and the progress bar will not move.
I click Stop Execution and it tries to stop, but doesn't compete the process of stopping.
The only way to get out of it is to use task manager to force it to quit. Then the Deployment Workbench will no longer load until the entire server is restarted.
How can this be fixed?

If you're storing the image on a filer, it can take a bit sometimes to process a catalog file. If you're really curious what the heck it's doing and think it's frozen -- because I've gotten into the same place and thought what is this thing doing?? Check
the logfile it generates at %temp%\Microsoft.BDD.Catalog.log . It doesn't log much but will log progress for you.
Also, the image needs to be open for a catalog to be created. It will mount it in the same %temp% directory, under a long path named after the tasksequence ID. That error you saw when on another account was most likely that the WIM you were building
a catalog for was already mounted, or the mount was corrupted at that point. To resolve an error like that in the future -
1. dism /get-mountedwiminfo -- note the really long pathed image mounted to the temp directory.
2. dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:%TEMP%\whateverthefolderis /discard
3. Retry catalog creation. Usually any errors during catalog creation will be from a stale image or image in use. Checking /get-mountedwiminfo will often tell you right away if there's an issue and mark the status : Needs Remount.
Best bet with creating catalogs, watch the bdd catalog log in temp and just don't touch anything else for 15-60mins depending on network latency. Hope this helps.

Add a custom table for field selection while creating field catalog for LIS

Hi,
I have a requirement to add a Custom table to be available for field selection while creating a field catalog for LIS. Its required as there are many custom fields to be used for field catalog creation and adding them in one of the existing tables listed is not a feasible option for us. Please let me knw if its possible..?? If yes how to get it done..??
Regards,
Akash Sinha

hi,
You need to add your field in the Data Dictionary first. For example, if
you want the new field in the Order Item field catalog do the following.
Look at structure MCVBAPUSR (SE11). If you already have a user structure
appended to this structure then you can add your new field to your existing
structure. If there is no structure already appended to MCVBAPUSR then you
must create a new structure with your field in it and then append the new
structure to this one.
If you look at structure MCVBAP you will see the data appended to the end
of it.
Now you should see it in the field catalog.

balajia

New RMAN catalog in existing EMREP database - new user and tablespace?

Hi all,
I am FINALLY getting "with the times" and trying to get my databases to back up with RMAN. I already have a dedicated server that is running Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control, so it already has the OMS database on it, called EMREP. I was hoping to just use this database as my RMAN catalog, is that considered good practice or not?
So assuming this practice is considered OK, I know that I need to create a new user (which I'll just call RMAN) in this database. Would it be best to also create a separate tablespace for this user? I have no idea how big I should expect this RMAN schema to get. I'm sure it all depends on the number of databases I'm backing up, but can anyone give me some realistic size expectations that I could start with?
Any advice/info is greatly appreciated!

I think that the catalog is only applicable if you will have several databases to manage.
If you he will have only one, I dont see necessity to use the catalog, therefore with backups of controlfiles only, you can to execute the tasks of backup/restore/recovery.
But, for catalog creation information, see
