CCM 2.0 Catalog to SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog during SRM 7.0 upgrade

Hi,
We are upgrading our existing SRM 5.0 system to SRM 7.0 and we are planning to deploy SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog as it is more flexible & SAP is not going to support CCM 2.0 Catalog after 2013. Please let me know the upgrade steps/plan to upgrade CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog. As per my understanding, there is no tool/method available to upgrade from CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog available. We need to build it from scratch i.e maintain SAP supplied MDM repository, upload data from SRM/ERP, upload suppliers catalog etc.
Thanks,
AS

Hi,
I have migrated CCM to SRM-MDM Catalog.
Steps are
- Install SRM-MDM Catalog
- Adjust Repository if you have custom fields
- Import contents
- Adjust view
Migration itself is not difficult but you need to learn how to use MDM client tools.
The SRM270 class room training is good one.

Differences between-fresh SRM installation vs upgrade

Hi,
Can anybody of you help me out with the following-
Differences between the two approaches
fresh SRM install vs upgrade with kernel upgrade and patch application. Which approach is better and why?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Its very urgent.
regards,
kavita
Message was edited by: kavita agrawal

It depends on your Project Requirement. If you are upgrading your current version with any new version, then you will have to upgrade the system.
If you are implementing new version, then you will have install fresh and then upload the data from Old System.
You need to check your project. (Upgrade or Implementation)

Bidding Engine / Cfolders available after SRM 5.0 upgrade??

Hi Experts
Recently we upgraded from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0(SRM Server 5.5), we only have the ABAP stack & no Java stack.Our users have suggested to use the "bidding engine" & Cfolders, so what I want to know is
a) Is bidding Engine / Cfolders installed by default during the SRM 5.0 upgrade?.
b) Is Bidding Engine part of Live Auction Cockpit(LAC) & we need to install the LAC separately?.
c) Do I need to install the Java stack for the bidding engine & cfolders?.
An early reply will be much appreciated & useful replies will be rewarded with points.
Thanks & Rgds,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
a. Bidding Engine is part of SRM server and there for use when SRM Server is installed. You are ready to go, customize and use. cFolders are part of cProject Suite and need to be extra installed.
b. LAC is an own component supporting the auction and need to be extra installed. This is also Java based, why you need the Java Stack here.
c. no, Bidding Engine and cFolders are both abap based.
Kind regards,
Clauda

CCM - Error Adding Catalog Items Approver

Hi all,
i'm working with CCM 2.0 on SRM 5.5, and i'm facing the following problem:
when i try to add an approver for master catalog clicking on "add new approver" button,
il Assigned Approvers an empty row (only date field is filled).
If i try to insert a User ID in "User Name" field and save the data, the following error appears:
<i>SAP Note
The following error text was processed in the system:
      An exception with the type CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause

No short DUMP in ST22 neither Errors in SLG1....
Someone knows a solution to this problem?
Thanks a lot!!!

Here's the answer.
In SE80, choose Class/Interface /CCM/CL_BSP_SCHEMA_MODEL, then under Atrribute double click GT_ASSIGNED_APPROVER. Then on the Attributes tab untick the read only flag for attribute GT_ASSIGNED_APPROVER for associated type /CCM/T_APPROVER .

CCM 2.0 Catalogs with Images

When trying to load a catalog using CCM 2.0 the system stops at the colum with the images at the first line. Each of the pictures and or URLs are valid...any suggestions on what may be causing this?? Thanks
Here is what the header in the colum for the images looks like in the data file.
Characteristic 14
Picture#/ccm/url

Hello,
What do you mean by format?
We have the same problem.
Our characteristic 14 is:
PICTURES#/CCM/URL
We also put characteristic 13:
PICTURES#/CCM/DESCRIPTION
Any idea?
Thanks a lot,

Define URL in CCM 2.0 catalog

Dear Experts,
In our CCM2.0 ,
We have define the field CCM/PICTURE with the URL for picture of the product
We would like to add a second URL for more information of the product ,
We have search for a field that can be set to this URL but could not find any.
Please advise your Idea.
Regards,
Moshe

Hi Moshe
I am not sure what you are looking to populate in this field, the characteristic for picture is normally defined with type /CCM/ATTACHMENT which expects 3 specific data type components, these are description, URL and MIME type.
These concatonate to make the URL for accessing the mime you wish to display, these normally link to jpg images as this is the most common mime type used in catalog management.
So what are you trying to fill in here and what do you expect to see in the 'preview' frame?
Regards,
Jason

How to get prices from CCM 2.0 catalog

Hi guys,
I configured y populated a Purchasing Catalog in CCM 2.0
Everything seems to work alright when I downloading a material from the catalog in to a Shopping Cart except the price of the material!
The field price: "/ccm/amount" - Importe - is populated with OCI field: NEW_ITEM-PRICE
The field: "/ccm/currency_code" is populated with OCI field:
NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY
Upon transferring the OCI values into the Shopping Cart, in the transaction SLG1 , object string "BBP_OCI", shows only trafficlight in green! It doesnt mention the OCI field NEW_ITEM-PRICE.
What Im I doing wrong? Maybe some configuration missing?
Thanks for any help,
Aart

You mention "product", is this a SAP Product master item? If so the price would come from the product master in commpr01?
If this is not the case your description of the config looks correct. You should be passing the value of the characteristic /ccm/amount to the OCI price field.
This should work easily.
Other things to check - formating of numeric price?
Are you certain "price" is maintained in this characteristic value?

SRM 5.5 upgrade to SRM 7.0 with MDM

Hi,
Pl consider the following scenario and give your views.
Our client has SRM 5.5 running with SRM MDM 2.0 in their landscape. Now they wish to upgrade to SRM 7.0 without upgrading MDM.(We are upgrading through the parallel landscape).
So during the upgrade phase, we wish to connect SRM 5.5 and SRM 7.0 both to their existing MDM system for testing purpose. Is this possible?
PS : Parallel landscape is existing DEV environment will be copied and then upgrade the copied environment. We plan to copy only SRM Server and want to continue using the existing MDM, PI, Portal and TREX setup.
Regards

Hi,
No issue for testing purpose in test landscape. It is not production usage and production system.

How to stop multiple windows being opend when searching CCM 2.0 catalog

Hi There,
When one accesses the catalogue using the SHOP - CATALOG<link>, a new window is opened. If after searching a list of items is displayed in yet another window!. How can we prevent mulitple windows being opened?
Also we have noticed that if we search the catalogue and add items to our shopping cart, when you go back to search the catalog, the last list of items is presented again. Is it possible to always display the "main" catalog page and not the last list of searched/found items?
Regards,

Hi Grace,
I can help you partially.
I think both of your problems are related to diff parameters of Integrated call structure which we define in
SRM IMG->SRM->SRM server->cross applns->Master data->Define external web services.
self service procurement config guide talks in detail how to maintain this integrated call structure.
also you can check on help.sap.com

Impact of SRM 7.0 Upgrade on XI 3.0

Hi,
Soon we are going to upgrade our SRM 4.0 system to SRM 7.0 and MDM Catalog 3.0.
So is there any impact on XI 3.0, do we need to upgrade XI 3.0 to PI 7.0 or PI 7.1 to be able to do this.
Do you have any idea?
I have looked in the PAM at SAP but I don't come to any conclusion. Could you help me to sort this out?
Thanks!
Sarvesh

After going through "Upgrade Dependency Analyzer" ([_UDA_|http://service.sap.com/uda]) it is possible to upgrade SRM without upgrading XI 3.0 but then SRM7.0 should be without EHP1, but if we want to have SRM on EHP1 then XI 3.0 must be upgraded to it's higher versions.
Apart from my findings if anyone has done this before then please let me know if there are any known issues or points to be taken care during upgrade.

Go to SE11, Menu->Utilities->Database Object->Check
            Menu->Utilities->Runtime Object->Check
If there are inconsistency, please follow note 211492 to adjust the inc
onsistency in original instance . But if these tables are obsolete,
for example doesn't exist in the system any more, you could also choose the option to 'Ignore' the error and
continue with the upgrade. But this is a BC-UPG issue.

SRM 7.0 upgrade addon issues

I recently updated my ST-PI addon from 2005_1_640 to 2008_1_640 on my SRM system to match the ST-PI level on our SOLMAN system. Now I'm upgrading our SRM system from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0 and I'm stuck at the addon section of the upgrade. During the extraction phase I get a warning that says version 2008_1_640 is too high for the upgrade (>2005_1_710). I am able to continue past since it's just a warning. Once I get to the configuration phase I'm stopped to resolve the addons. my PI_BASIS is resolved by the addon dvd, but my ST-PI, ST-A/PI, and VIRSANH packages won't resolve. I have the install, upgrade, and supplemental files for ST-PI 2008/700 and 2008/710 as well as the needed packages for the other addons unpacked into EPS/in, but when I choose "Upgrade with Saint package" it doesn't see any of the packages.
Has anyone else had this problem and how was it resolved?
Thanks
Jeff

This fixed it for me.
Edit bin/IS_RANGE.LST file to include 2008_1_700.
         Ranges of ADD-ONs which are included in the Export
ADD-ON_ID       RELMIN            RELMAX
      PI_BASIS        2002_1_620        2006_1_710
      ST-PI           003C_40B          2008_1_700
FIX
      WP-PI           500_46D           600_620
Reset the upgrade by going back until the first step. Start the upgrade and then run SAPup stop ADDON_CHK to stop the upgrade before the ADDON_CHK to get rid of the error. ONce the check is performed it over writes the file again so at the stop between the extraction and configuration phases make the above change again and it if you have the 2008_1_700 addon in your EPS/in directory the upgrade will continue on and you'll be able to continue on.
