Catalog Views in SRM

Hi all,
The shop on behalf of others functionality gives you the ability to shop for another user.This means when i shop on behalf of someone else, i would be using his/her attributes to shop. (Which means BUK, BWA abd so on).
My problem is that when i shop on behalf of someone i am unable to see the catalog views assigned to that user. (attribute CAT).
Please let me know any configuration settings required to achieve this. I have maintained the requisitioner attribute.
Thanks

Hello,
I am not aware that this is possible.
Maybe you can use generic user (instead of live named user) in catalog call. Than you can attach this catalog call to several users which will have same views.
Advantage of this approach is that you have less administration.
For example, instead of attaching call directly to EBP/CCM named user you can attach catalog call to cost centre. In case of user relocation to another cost centre he/she will have views allowed to assigned cost centre.

Catalogs views issue

Hi Guys,
I am experiecing a problem with 2 new catalog views.Please suggest me a solution for the fix.
This is SRM 4.0 and Catalogs are being maintain by a 3 rd party. So I maintain the Standard call structure detaills in SPRO.
I maintained them and see they are working for English language.
Those two catalog views are UK and Finland. I see that they are not appearing in the their respective language.
I have maintained the standard call structure details parameters as English and Finnish langauages. but still I cannot see them in the other langauages like in Danish and swedish. etc.
I have gone to the utlilities and choose languages and I checked the box for DK , SE, DE and EN Languages.
I still did not find them in those langauges. Please suggest me.

Hi,
If the catalog is a CCM catalog, you must have uploaded the relevent details in the specific locale to see content in theis language, i.e. if you load to a supplier catalog an item, in the upload file you must also maintain it's valuations also for the other required languages, see the small example of syntax below for a CSV 2.0 file upload (I will also attach teh same file for you to review):
#Create Positions for the Category root_cty

MDM catalog integration with SRM 7.0

Hi all,
We will be upgrading from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0
We currently have CCM .....Few questins on catalog enablement for us with SRM 7:
1.With SRM 7,0,can we use CCM oor MDM is the only option???
2.Is it better to have MDM as a seperate server and enable SRM MDM catalog content?
3.We have 2 punch out catalogs for 2 vendors.How to enable the punch out catalog links in SRM 7.0???What is the path for IMG config??
4. We have around 20 internal supplier catalogs .Now should we upload few of the supplier catalogs and then upload rest or can we upload all the suuplier catalogs at once through IMPORT MANAGER in MDM ???What are therestrictions in terms of the no of catalogs or catalog data that can be improted and mapped ???
5.What are additional features in SRM MDM 3.0 catalog in contrast to CCM??
6.The backend master data such as Supplier/Porg etc.....how is that synchronised from SRM to SRM MDM catalog???Is it through some scheduled programs???
7.What is the use of PI/XI in enabling SRM MDM catalog??Why is it mandatory??
8. What are the allowed file types for cataog data upload in MDM???Like it was CSV in CCM...
9. Where can I find some sample catalog files for test upload?
10.What are the lastest SP for MDM available for integration with SRM 7.0??
11. after price changes from supplier(thru negotiation),are these price changes to be updated manually for indiavidual items/products through MDM data manager or is there any way to automate this delta update for price in MDM???
12.Also maintaining catalog data in MDM for SRM procurement will be a seprate actibity just like maintaing catalog in CCM??
I have gone through the help links but wud like ansers to above ques based on experiences of the forum members...Please provide inputs to my above queries if anybody has worked on MDM catalog integration with SRM 7.0....
Thanks for your time.

HI,
1.With SRM 7,0,can we use CCM oor MDM is the only option???
   You can use any catalogs which support SAP OCI interface.
2.Is it better to have MDM as a seperate server and enable SRM MDM catalog content?
   MDM Server(contents) and AS Java(for UI) are required. Please check the installation guide.
3.We have 2 punch out catalogs for 2 vendors.How to enable the punch out catalog links in SRM 7.0???What is the path for IMG config??
   Same as SRM 5.0. Define External Web Services.
4. We have around 20 internal supplier catalogs .Now should we upload few of the supplier catalogs and then upload rest or can we upload all the suuplier catalogs at once through IMPORT MANAGER in MDM ???What are therestrictions in terms of the no of catalogs or catalog data that can be improted and mapped ???
Yes. You can use Import Manager. No issues.
6.The backend master data such as Supplier/Porg etc.....how is that synchronised from SRM to SRM MDM catalog???Is it through some scheduled programs???
MDM Extractor is available.
7.What is the use of PI/XI in enabling SRM MDM catalog??Why is it mandatory??
Mainly for contents mapping.
8. What are the allowed file types for cataog data upload in MDM???Like it was CSV in CCM...
Any. Even for DB interface is also supported. You see all options when you run import manager.
9. Where can I find some sample catalog files for test upload?
Sample repository definition is delivered. You can manually create 1 entry by Data Manager.
10.What are the lastest SP for MDM available for integration with SRM 7.0??
You can find it SAP Service Marketplace. http://service.sap.com/swdc
11. after price changes from supplier(thru negotiation),are these price changes to be updated manually for indiavidual items/products through MDM data manager or is there any way to automate this delta update for price in MDM???
You can use contract and contract items are transfered to Catalog.
12.Also maintaining catalog data in MDM for SRM procurement will be a seprate actibity just like maintaing catalog in CCM??
Yes. Catalog is just Catalog.

Masa

R/3 ISA B2B: Catalog Views

Hello experts in the group,
I need to create catalog views for R/3 ISA B2B application. I have to use cross division 00 to handle multiple sales areas and I want to address these divisions using catalog views. I already have one of the four product catalogs that we would need, in place.
I have tried to use followed SAP Notes:
696095: ISA R/3 4.0: Collective note on Catalog Views
695978: How to create function modules for ISA R/3
677319: Coding sample assignment of customers to views
677320: Coding sample catalog item assignments to views
610393: Example for using catalog exit after read
and
Note 837119, that was referenced by SAP Help but I could not find.
Problem is, despite spending all that time and effort, I am not able to make much headway here. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out here and tell me how to create a catalog view. I needs to reference this catalog view to a few layout areas and items in the product catalog, and then assign it to a webshop where a customer (who has access to the web shop) can see only these products that are contained in the view.
Thanks in Advance,
Biren Bugati

Hi Biren,
I simply went to t.code SRMO (Search Server Relation Monitor) and went to <i>Index Category (index)</i> tab. There I searched for all indexes and painstakingly deleted each one, one by one by clicking "Delete Category." I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, but it worked in the end. After deleting all indexes when I executed ISA_CAT_REPLICATION tcode, instead of error code 2007, I saw a green indicator light, and "No documents in deletion pending status" text.
The TrexAdmin tool that I am using is Python based and delivered with TREX itself. Its in /sap/usr/trex<instance_number>/python_support/TrexAdmin.py
You can find more info about how to launch and use this tool here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/3f/d4ae0fc46e1d1ee10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
Hope this helps.
By the way, I didn't know about ISA_CAT_REPL_DELETE and TREXADMIN tcodes. Do you have a list of all ISA-relevant tcodes?

Java.sql.SQLException: Internal Error: Inconsistent catalog view

Hi all,
I have an Oracle procedure defined like:
pkgoms.p_oms_audit ( in_tab_oms_audit in tab_oms_audit,out_status out number)
tab_oms_audit is a collection of t_oms_audit
Here is the structure for the type (with 16 fileds)
create or replace type t_oms_audit as object(
Username_ VARCHAR2(101),
d_Date_ Date,
<other fields>) ;
In my Java code I have:
// conn is the connections to db
oracle.sql.StructDescriptor structDesc = oracle.sql.StructDescriptor.createDescriptor("TAB_OMS_AUDIT", conn);
Object[] attributes = new Object[16];
// Fill out the array: attributes[] in the same structure that t_oms_audit is defined
// Receive the following error on the next line:
// java.sql.SQLException: Internal Error: Inconsistent catalog view
oracle.sql.STRUCT struct = new oracle.sql.STRUCT(structDesc, conn, attributes);
anOracleCallableStatement.setObject(1, struct, java.sql.Types.STRUCT);
anOracleCallableStatement.execute();I searched for the above error and the only thing I could find was that its a permission issue; I can execute select, update, insert, delete, ... on db, so not sure if its in fact a permission issue or I am doing sth. else wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all
I have the same problem.
it's not a GRANT problem because in PL/SQL the object works fine.
JDBC Release problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Reg creating Catalog Views through R/3

Hi Guys,
I am working on an internet sales application with backend as SAP R/3 ECC 6.0. We are not supposed to use CRM. Can someone tell me how to create them?
I have to create Catalog Views. I tried to acess the SAP Note 998453 and 998458, but i am getting the message "The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only". Can someone tell me how to access these notes.
I have also gone through the SAP Notes : 696095, 677319, 677320 but couldn't find much help.
What is a BP or a target group?
I have gone through the the following sdn link also but couln't find much help.
Creating Catalog Views
Can someone provide me the step by step process.
Any kind of help will be deeply appreciated. Please do reply.
Thanks,
Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,
I understand your requirement is slightly different than ours.
Based on the customer type (let's say: gold and silver) the catalog view should be displayed, right?
The question is: how do you match a material with the customer type? Let's say you have 20 materials in the catalog, how do you know what materials can be displayed, and what not? In order to do so, you will need to put a "label" on every material.
The option we choose for this is using attributes.
trx. CT04 - define the attributes (1 attribute, with 2 values 'gold' and 'silver')
trx. CL02 - create a class (of type 001 - material class). The class is only used as a dummy, so you can attach the attributes to it.
Now add the attributes to the class.
Now, for every material you maintain the class (dummy) and the attribute (gold or silver).
Mat 1    gold
mat 2    gold
mat 3    silver
mat 4     silver
Now, with the coding I gave to you, the product catalog is replicated to TREX. Every material is given a label "VIEWS_ID", which is filled with value "gold" or "silver".
Now, when the customer logs on to the webshop, it's checked what customer type he is (gold or silver). Let's say it's gold, then from all materials, the VIEWS_ID is read, and materials with a matching VIEWS_ID (gold) are shown to the customers. So material 1 and 2 are shown, 3 and 4 are hidden.
In case you have a catalog with a large structure, you might want to show also a limited piece of the catalog structure to the customer. In that case, you do the same for catalog branches, with classification type 060 layout areas.
Hope this helps you out.
regards,
Wim

Order product out of catalog view

Hi
On default in b2b webshop, if the product is valid for the org. unit but invalid for the determined catalog, you still can order this product even it is not inlcuded in the product catalog.
Therefore, we disable the parameter 'enable.nonCatalogProducts of ui
component in b2b xcm configuration, then message 'CRM_SALES 307' raises in web to avoid ordering the product out of the catalog succesfully.
However, if we exclude certain product from catalog view(but the product still exists in the catalog), the product disappears in product catalog view in web shop as we expected, but we still can order this product by directly input in order, which disobeys our request, our request is that you only can order the products in your product catalog VIEW.
Did anybody encounter this problem before?
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
please check if for the catalog views Partner Product ranges are maintained. Use SPRO and under
CRM ->Master Data ->Partner/Product Range ->Basic settings
check the following settings:
Define general settings for PPR - check if the flag to use PPR checks in the application (and for given processes) has been set. Check the checkbox "Check PPRs in Business transactions and Applications"
(ii) PPR Tape for Product Catalog View - make sure that type 0002 is selected
(iii) Define transaction types and Applications relevant for check - please check the existing SPRO documentation as I am not sure about this point, but in general it should be the transaction type used in your shop
I hope this will help you resolve the issue. Have you already asked our Support for assistance? Please let me know the message number or write my comments in the message so that my colleagues know about it.
Regards
Borislav

INVALID Oracle Database Catalog Views 10.1.0.5.0

I am trying to resolve an INVALID state on the Oracle Database Catalog Views component of an Oracle 10.1.0.5.0 database.
I was trying to resolve an issue with Data Pump by running: catalog.sql, catproc.sql and catexp.sql as SYS to add the EXFSYS schema.
Doing this made the Oracle Database Catalog Views go INVALID.
I have 61 invalid objects after running utlrp.sql, 26 of these are owned by SYS.
Anyone know of a good way to resolve this issue or a metalink note, other link they can guide me to? I would like to avoid having to rebuild the database.
Thanks!!!

Anyway .... this is how to resolve this issue:
Note: Ensure that the SHARED_POOL_SIZE and JAVA_POOL_SIZE parameters are set to at least 150M each, and then restart the instance in MIGRATE mode and execute catpatch as detailed in the following steps:
Before starting this process, notify users of database that the database will be unavailable for approximately 2 hours. Proceed with proper notification procedures before shutting down the database.
1.     sqlplus /nolog
2.     spool $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log/catpatch_ddmmyy.log
3.     connect / as sysdba
4.     alter system set shared_pool_size = 200M scope=spfile; (if necessary)
5.     alter system set java_pool_size = 150M scope=spfile; (if necessary)
6.     shutdown immediate
7.     startup migrate
8.     @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
9.     spool off
10.     shutdown immediate
11.     startup
12.     (validate): select comp_name,version,status from dba_registry;

Creating the customer specific catalog view....

Hi All,
I am working for e-Commerce with mySAP ERP scenario where the customer wants to implement customer specific Catalog View. As it is not a standard functionality provided by SAP. So, I was searching through the SAP notes on how to implement it and found the note 998453 and 998458 which details on how this can be achieved.
I implemented the relevant SAP Notes i.e. 998453, 998458, 677319 and 677320 in a system. However, the appropriate result is not appearing. This is my perception; some customizing setting will also be required for the same. Moreover would be the possibility, I have missed some technical steps.
On this regards only, Could you provide me some reference documents or suggestion based upon these notes which help me in implementation? Apart form that, Could you suggest me any another approach for implementing the catalog view? This is really great help from your end.

Ashutosh Jain

Sql Server 2012 Integration Services Catalog views - cpu usage history

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server 2012. I have deployed and executed a SSIS package on the Integration Services catalog.
Now, to analyze the performance of the executed package I wish to query the SSISDB catalog views to retrieve the cpu & memory usage history. Please let me know in which catalog view/table I can find this info.
There is a column named "Process_Id" in the "catalog.operations" table. Can we tie this id to the Sql Server pid/kid and then retrieve the cpu
usage history ?
** I am using Sql Server 2012 **
Thanks

Hi All,
Thanks all for your inputs. One final question -
As I mentioned earlier, the Sql Server 2012 catalog views
DO NOT capture various performance metrics
(e.g. cpu usage history, memory usage history etc) of
an executing SSIS package . However, I am cognizant of the fact that it is possible to retrieve this exact info
(ie. cpu usage history, memory usage history etc) for
a Sql-Server internally generated SPID (present in [sys].[dm_exec_sessions]).
The approach is to find a way to join/relate the catalog provided "Process_id" to the Sql Server generated internal SPIDs in a session. If I am successful in joining these 2 process ids together,
it will allow me to gather all the information available from both sides - ie the catalog views + the sql-server internal process SPIDs of the session. Thus, by tagging the SSIS pprocess_id to
its sql-server session it will allow to retrieve the resource usage details by the executed SSIS process.
**Please also let me know if the above could be achieved by any other approach.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

ISA catalog viewing restrictions in a B2B scenario

Hi,
We are implementing ISA for our B2B customers to order marketing material via internet.
Does anyone know or have implemented security controls to restrict viewing and ordering of product catalog at node level.
So when customers logs into ISA from web he/she should only be able to see and order the section of catalog that they have access to.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Junaid!
I'm actually working with something similar at the moment - haven't implemented it yet but looked at it. There is a possibility of restricting what items a customer can see in the product catalog by creating specific catalog views.
Check out the following SAP notes:
696095 - Collective note on catalog views
677319 - Coding sample assignment of customers to views
677320 - Coding sample catalog item assignments to views
695978 - How to create function modules for ISA R/3 Edition
These solutions are based on that you use TREX.
Hope this will help you!

Catalog views for ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0

We are implementing the R/3 version of CRM-ISA (ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0).
We need to implement product catalog views to allow filtering based on specific attributes.
We have created a custom function module Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE to replace ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE and Z_ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS to replace ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS.
But when we test from ISA the FM Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE does not get invoked through RFC.
There is an SAP NOTE 998453 that we checked but it is still a pilot version.
Has anyone implemented the catalog views without the notes? Can we do the catalog views without the note? If so, how can we meke custom FM work? Please advice.
Thanks,
VK

Check the following.
1. The XCM file modification-config.xml replaces both the function modules
2. The checkbox to use the catalog views is checked for your webshop
3. Catalog is published to TREX and you are using TREX catalog instead of Memory catalog.
I don't think these notes work without TREX. I'd be interested in learning if anyone successfully implemented Catalog views with ECC ECO without using TREX.
