Cobol/CICS = SAP

Hi,
did someone established an rfc call from cobol running under cics calling a function module in SAP r/3? I googled about this, but was anable to find something useful.

We have not done a RFC call but we did connected to CICS using a Webservice in our project.

VSAM file with multiple record layouts (COBOL REDEFINES)

Hi. We're using Tuxedo 12c to migrate a COBOL/CICS/VSAM application from MVS to Solaris/Oracle 11gR2.
We have a few VSAM files with record layouts that start with a record-type field, and based on that, the remainder of the record layout varies based on COBOL copybooks using REDEFINES. We can't be the first to have this issue, and am wondering if there's a best-practice solution. Our initial thought is that each record type should become a separate database table, but if we need to do this manually, we'll also need to modify the post-converted code manually. I'm hoping there's a better way.
Thanks.

You are correct; you are not the first person to do this. There are a number of different strategies depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. First, is your objective to leave the COBOL/CICS/VSAM as is? If so, which COBOL compiler do you intend to use? Are you using Tuxedo ART Workbench? Are you aware that you have the option of leaving the VSAM datasets as VSAM on the target platform? If you want to convert VSAM to Oracle DB tables, you can create a separate table for each record type as you suggested or you can treat the entire record as a blob and let the copyfile sort it out once the data is returned to the program. Of course with this approach you will not realize the benefits Oracle DB as an RDBMS. Please provide me some additional context and I will make some best practices suggestions.
You can get some insight on Tuxedo ART Workbench at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18050_01/artwb/docs11gr1/wbuser/FileToOracle.html

Is it a complex task to translate between JMS and MQ?

Hello!
I wonder if it is a complex task to translate a JMS message (javax.jms.Message) to a MQ message (com.xxx.MQMessage)?
xxx=I do not remember the package name for MQMessage
Right now I participate in a project where we need to do this translation.
(I must admit that I thougt there was no need for a translation. I thought that JMS was transparent to MQ and vice versa. But I guess I was wrong)
I would love to hear some experiance and perhaps if there is some "best practice", please let me know!
Best regards
Fredrik

I'm happy for you that you use WebLogic - however WebSphere MQ is the leading messaging technology in the industry. If it is configured correctly it guarantees 100% message retention. You may beg to differ, but you have nothing to back it up with so far - maybe IBM should be sued for false advertising if it is impossible (as you say)?Not really. IBM isn't a very important software company, IMO. They're huge in global services, but they passed leadership in hardware and software off to others decades ago. Or maybe you're one of those people who still lives in the 80s and thinks of IBM as a "leader".
There's a lot of IBM legacy out there. Banks are still running DB2, but nobody thinks it's a leader in the relational database space. There's a lot of Cobol code with CICS running on mainframes, but surely you're not going to cite that as cutting edge, are you?
Just curious - do you work for IBM?
All I know is that MQ is the industry standard, as you can easily discover on google or wikipedia or whatever you want. Wikipedia? Is that your best source? LOL!
Let's look at Wikipedia, shall we? Your own source tells me that WebSphere is ~40% of the market:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQSeries
I'm even suspicious of these numbers, because I think they leave out the open source parts of the market. How do you quantify that? # downloads? # of systems in production? I'll bet that survey doesn't exist. And it looks different depending on whether we're talking about large or small companies.
Why don't you find some links to support your claim? You've done nothing but say "industry leading" and "guarantees 100%". Your "because I said so" isn't convincing, either.
Come back in a month - I have time.
Maybe if you are such a messaging expert you would have some reasons why the majority of the industry use MQ and not WebLogic even though WebLogic is supposedly better? Because the entire world isn't IBM anymore.
I worked on a Ministry of Justice project that used WebLogic application server and its JMS queues for a critical messaging component - and at least once every two weeks the queues would go down and there would be a mad rush to get them back up - this was probably a poorly configured installation of WebLogic, and is only one example, but it left me with a pretty poor opinion of the product.That's fair. I don't know anything about the version or the admins or the servers or even you. But if that's what your experience has been, I can't question it. Maybe I can question the competence of a Ministry of Justice (which country?) that doesn't seem to train their WebLogic and server admins properly. Maybe it's an organizational problem.
I can say that we have farms of WebLogic running on Solaris servers that are very reliable. I developed one app that faces out to the Internet that uses JMS, and that app hasn't had to come down in almost three years. Reliable enough?
WebSphere and WebLogic have been neck and neck in the Java EE app server space for a long time, each controlling 35-40% of the market. I think JBOSS and Glassfish are making some inroads there. Spring is making it possible to write enterprise apps that can be deployed on servlet/JSP engines.
And all of this discussion leaves out Microsoft, .NET, and MSMQ.
I would believe that MQ series has the lion's share of the middleware/messaging market, but I'd bet that it has less to do with the clear superiority of the product and more to do with the large legacy base that IBM has out there. It's a very old mainframe/COBOL/CICS kind of technology, and the organizations that brought it in tend to be large and conservative.
You didn't ask any questions about the OP's organization. I think that ought to factor into the discussion.
Oh, and by the way more than 80% of the companies on the Fortune 100 use WebSphere MQ - maybe you should inform them how rubbish it is?And 76.273% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I'm not interested in convincing anybody of anything. It's my opinion that if I had a Java EE app server with JMS on it that I wouldn't bring in IBM's MQ Series just for the sake of having it. If there was a legacy system that I needed to integrate with that demanded I use MQ Series there'd be no question.
But why does it seem sensible to bring in yet another moving part, another expense, another separate piece to be configured and maintained and upgraded? Applications are hard enough to develop. I wouldn't use MQ Series for its own sake, and I'd challenge anybody who brought it in because "they said so".

What are the major issues in implementation SAP CRM sales and CIC.

Hi
We are newly implanting the project to the mobile Manfaturing Company. Our Clint is going for are looking to implement the CIC interaction center win Clint and the Sales modules of CRM .
We have some 3rd parry raw data with us with that raw data we are calling to the customers and we want create the opportunity in the CIC after that we will convert the opportunity as a sales with our other sales people. After that they will sale that product to that customers.
We have the back end of the R/3 SD, MM modules implemented for Clint.
Now 1) I want to know after implementation what are the major issues will come in the project normally for the conman Sales and CIC Win Clint projects kindly give the some issues normally come and solutions for the problems also.
My motto is that if I know the issues I can make preparation for that conman issues and I will make my project with good effective and smooth running ..
with Regards,
prakesh
Edited by: prakesh on Dec 9, 2009 6:04 AM

hi prakesh,
firstly, cic winclient is an older version and obsolete so its better to implement the new crm version.
secondly, in any case if you want to implement, then your 3rd party raw data has to be mapped with the SAP system which could be a problem. Middleware could be a lot of effort. Rest all depends on how much customization you need for your business requirement in cic and sales. In case you are implementing standard functionality mostly then no major complications are expected otherwise lot of development effort may be required.

Event handling in SAP R/3 CIC

Hi,
I am working on CIC modification ( SAP 4.6 -- its R/3 CIC not CRM) , where in the FM CIC_START_FRAMEWORK
I could see the framework and the different components Subscribing to events like :
ACTION_CONFIGURE
ACTION_EXECUTE
GLOBAL_CONFIG_MOD
OK_CODE
Could someone explain where exactly these EVENTS are maintained/configured and briefly on how this event handling is designed in CIC.
Regards,
Abhilash.T

Hi Florian,
Thanks a lot for the response, few more points :
1. How the user action on the CIC screen are linked to the events ..(any configuration done for this??).
2. Will the Call back functions will be acting as the event handlers.?
3. If custom events are to be maintained in CIC , where it can be configured ,,ie should we call FMs
CIC_EVENT_SUBSCRIBE , CIC_EVENT_RAISE explicitly inside the program or can they be configured?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

How to set up a link between sap fica transaction and cic front office

Hi Guys,
How to configure between SAP FICA transaction (FPR1 for create installation plan) to CIC front office.
I did some changes in FPR1 transaction, same changes which are not reflecting on CIC screen, when i log on to CIC0 and select the create install plan, It is automatically go to FPR1 but it is not showing with that changes.
I checked all the way but it is missing the link some where. plz drop any ideas on this.
Thanks
Venkat.

Hi Matt, create a column of type "enhanced rich text." Then in your datasheet view, double click on the field in that column and use your "insert" tab to upload a file. You'll then see the file in this cell and you can open it straight
from the datasheet view.

Customer Interaction Center CIC and SAP Phone

Dear All,
We are using SAP Phone with CIC, and everything is working well when the SAP Phone server is started, but soon after one by one some of the extensions stop working. The users when they try to do any operation are blocked as SAP R3 is waiting for SAP Phone server to reply and in the log of the server we see the following
"A call to TAPI function lineGetAgentStatus has failed.
Call handle to use:        (Not used)
Second call handle to use: (Not used)
(Both or one of them may be marked as "Not used"
if not relevant for TAPI call)
> Extended TAPI information:
TAPI returncode:      0x80000049
TAPI error text:      LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL
2008/10/30 18:44:45:49 Error 0x50016 in Process 1528 Thread 3828
Location: CPHOrderManager::ReturnHandling Module: phordermgr.cpp Line: 1395
The SAPphone Server uses TAPI 2.0 or higher to map
SAPphone functionality to TAPI. Unfortunaltely your
TAPI service provider currently being used does not
implement all TAPI functions required by the SAPphone Server.
In particular, this TAPI function is not supported: lineGetAgentStatus
Please contact the vendor of your TAPI service provider
to get a new version where function lineGetAgentStatus
is implemented or choose a different TAPI service provider."
We have checked the TAPI version and it is 2.1.x. Has anyone faced similar problems? and know of any solutions? If we re-start the SAP Phone server again everything works fine for some time. We checked the memory and its 4GB main memory, and system load is also low
Any help on this will be very much appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards
Anirban

Did you find the solution for this? We are facing the same problem.

How to get ANI and DNIS on SAPphone and to CIC in SAP R3

I have a client using SAP R3 4.7 with thick client. In CAD admin I can come upto workflow but then I am stuck...
They say they have SAPphone that can work with TAPI how do I do this?

So you want everything enclosed in a panelTab? For example
PanelTab1
R1R2
R3
R4R5
I assume you'll have multiple PanelTabs (ie not only PT1 but also PT2.... PTx). Correct? What will the additional Panel Tab layout be? the same as PT1 with the 5 regions as you've defined?
What version of JDeveloper are you using?
