COMMR01 and IPC

Folks,
Is there any way I can bypass the IPC for the COMMR01 transaction ? I see the COMMR01 is calling the IPC and I would like it to bypass it. Any suggestions ?
Faz

Hello Faz,
I guess IPC is called because you are maintaining configurable products. As product configuration is done by IPC, it is called from COMMPR01.
Anyway if you want to by-pass the IPC calls from CRM just refer to SAP note 702735 for all prerrequesites to do that.

CRM 5.0 and IPC Configuration

Hi All,
we are using CRM 5.0 and want to configure IPC for Internet sales. Can someone give me the IPC configuration guide for CRM 5.0 (as IPC is integrated in it). We are using CRM as standalone without R/3.
Thanks & Regards,

Vikas and Nirmal,
As IPC is already there with CRM 5.0, you just need to start it...
See OSS note 854170 for details about starting and some configuration information on IPC...
Thanks,

Using SQL Developer and IPC connection

SQL Dev 1.0.0.15 on Windows XP
On the windows PC I am run SQL Dev on I have a Listener & tnsnames setup to use an IPC connection. I did not have the listener setup to use a protocol of TCP. The connection to the db worked fine via sql+. Also I have toad on this PC and it worked just fine via the IPC connection.
I installed SQL Dev and tried to use the IPC connection. It did not work. I kept getting the message of "unable to access the network adapter" or something close to that. The message made sense as an IPC connection does not use the Network or Network adapter.
I ended up setting up the listener to listen for both IPC and TCP and SQL Dev worked.
My question is does SQL Dev use only the JDBC thin driver as it is my understanding the thin driver must use TCP. And is there a method to allow SQL Dev to use an IPC connection.
Here is my currect listener and tnsnames. SQL Dev I simple listed the parms to connect via TCP in the basic tab of the connection dialog.
listener=
(description=
(address_list=
(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=localhost)(port=1521))
(address=(protocol=ipc)(key=to2))
sid_list_listener=
(sid_list=
(sid_desc=(sid_name=to2)))
tnsnames:
to2.world =
(description =
(address = (protocol=ipc)(key=to2))
(connect_data = (sid=to2)))
Thanks

As packaged, sql dev uses the thin driver.
I believe that it is possible to dump the thick driver in its place (most likely in jdbc/lib) and use that with the advanced connection tab. I have yet to see anyone submit instructions on how to do it, so I am not of much help beyond saying that it is possible.

ISA and IPC

hi
I got the assignment to display the ipc component like subtotal,fright charges in jsp page of isa.(SAP E-Commerce
5.0) . But I am not able to find how to do it. the arrangement of the system is as given below.
ECC 6.0 as sap R/3 and sap b2b isa framework (SAP E-Commerce 5.0) as the front end.
I am a java programmer so I dont have that much idea about the architecture.
I tried to create object of type TcpDefaultDocument
by importing the following class.
<%@ page import
="com.sap.spc.remote.client.object.imp.tcp.TcpDefaultIPCDocument" %>
and calling the following method on that object
getSubtotal(PricingCustomizingConstants.ConditionSubtotal.SUBTOTAL_1)
but there I am getting the problem with the constructor.
Is IPC component is available in ISA frame work or we have to use
IPC seperatly in web server. what is the class we will have to import to that we can create the objects
or we wil have to create a seperate BOM.
Thanking in great anticipation.

Hello Bala,
Regarding your first question, AFAIK, the userexit logic of pricing should be developed in IPC pricing routines and uploaded to the SAP system with appropriate userexit assignment.
About the second question, I am not very clear on what is the requirement? Do you want to modify certain data before a document is actually created/simulated in the SAP system? In this case, there are some enhancement points in the FM SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE. This is what I used to modify/add/delete some data before the basket data is simulated or created as a quotation/order in the SAP ECC system.

MUP always fails to run with spurious folder access and IPC issue.

Dear Mobile Heroes,
Every time I run a MUP on our Mobile Sales Application, the MUP fails
during the first folder copy (MSA\Layout). The log gives an incorrect
description of the error saying that the layout folder cannot be
accessed. The actual issue, and manual fix, is to go to
C:\program files\sap\mobile\tpsfiles and in properties uncheck
the "read-only" flag and cascade the change to all subordinate files. I
also need to kill the "IPC Start" process. After doing this, I can run
the MUP successfully.
What is the SAP fix for this? Is there a new
ClientUpgradeTarget.exe to prevent all this nonsense?

Hi Rohit,
We are running Mobile Client 70SP4, the ClientUpgradeTarget.exe has a date of 16/07/2009 (size 436kb).

Author Flag and IPC

Hello All,
Our project involves usage of IPC along with IS- A-VMS . My understanding is that for a configurable material with characteristics, each Characteristics will have a Author Flag attached to it. The author flag is set by IPC and passed back to SAP.
Can some one explain what is meant by an author flag and how does the IPC influence this Auhtor Flag? Please reply back at the earliest to my yahoo is [email protected]
Please treat this urgent.

No
a specific photo can only exist in one event
If you duplicated the photos in the source event then flagged the new one (actually either one) you could do taht - you would, of course double the storage used for those photos winch there are now two of each - and any edits, =delete, etc would only operate on the one you did it to leaving the other copy alone (maybe what you intend?)

Hi Blackman,
No separate installation is required for IPC in CRM 5.0.
In 5.0, there is very minimal basic configuration for IPC (compared to 4.0). The configuration documents are available under service marketplace.

thnx
but where in market place, i only find docs related to IPC for CRM4 ..?
what is there to configure to make ipc webapplication work?

Screen scraping and IPC

Hi there,
We have a mainframe emulator which is implemented as a webapp. This webapp gets some data from mainframe say reservation #.
I tried creating a browser portlet for the webapp (mainframe app).
Now, there are 4 other JPF portlets which listen to the above webapp or browser portlet for reservation # . I' guess there is no way to share the data between browser portlet and other portlets. (Plz correct me if I'm wrong).
My question is:
1. Is there any way I can pass the data retrieved from external webapp into my portal framework i.e to other portlets
2. Will Screen scraping or streaming web page content help in this scenario.
Plz share your thoughts. Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sid

Sid,
It is possible, but you need to 'suck' the data from the mainframe app
into a JSP-portlet. You can do this in the backing context of the
JSP-portlet.
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.PageFlowController;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.annotations.Jpf;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.Forward;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.scoping.ScopedServletUtils;
@Jpf.Controller(simpleActions = { @Jpf.SimpleAction(name = "begin", path
= "retrieveParams.do") })
public class PfIpcTestController extends PageFlowController {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1961633610L;
     @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path =
"displayParams.jsp") })
     public Forward retrieveParams() {
          HttpServletRequest request =
ScopedServletUtils.getOuterRequest(getRequest());
          String cloneMessage = request.getParameter("_cloneMessage");
          CloneMessage msg = new CloneMessage();
          if( cloneMessage != null )
               System.out.println("Inside retrieveParams: cloneMessage="+cloneMessage);
               msg.setTheMessage(cloneMessage);
          else
               msg.setTheMessage("No clone message received as URL parameter");
          Forward forward = new Forward("success");
               // Adding the message as an output form isn't strictly
               // required but is handy if another application (or this
               // pf) wants to register a handler on this action and
               // get this payload
          forward.addOutputForm(msg);
          forward.addActionOutput("_cloneMessage", msg);
          return forward;
     * Callback that is invoked when this controller instance is created.
     @Override
     protected void onCreate() {
     * Callback that is invoked when this controller instance is destroyed.
     @Override
     protected void onDestroy(HttpSession session) {
     @Jpf.FormBean
     public static class CloneMessage implements java.io.Serializable {
          private static final long serialVersionUID = 838010769L;
          private String theMessage;
          public String getTheMessage() {
               return theMessage;
          public void setTheMessage(String theMessage) {
               this.theMessage = theMessage;
This way you clone the content of the original page, and bring it in the
context of the WLP. Now you can create IPC. The only thing you need to
do is to post the user clicks back to the backing file which the submits
the correct values to the mainframe app.

What are (SCE,SPE and IPC)????????????????????

Hello All
I want to know what is the use of these components and when I can use them
Sales configuration engine (SCE)
Sales pricing engine (SPE)
Internet pricing configuration engine (IPC)
Thanks in advance
Jacopo François

Hi,
IPC stands for Internet Pricing and Configurator. It is a tool that may be used in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with R/3 or with CRM. It has two major components, namely the pricing engine (SPE - Sales Pricing Engine) and configuration engine (SCE - Sales Configuration Engine). The IPC connects SPE and SCE to offer configuration with full pricing capabilities. These
engines work stand-alone or as an integrated package. Stand-alone means that the IPC can work off-line
from the backend systems (R/3 or CRM) while you configure and price products - this enables you to integrate the IPC in any software environment where you need to apply configuration and pricing.
The IPC can utilize the data and models established in R/3. This information can then be transferred by
data downloads or replication to the IPC database. This information is generally divided into two sections as identified by Pricing Data and the Knowledge Base (KB). The KB essentially contains master configuration data.
As of Release 30 configurable products can be created in CRM using PME, product modeling environment.
A set of standard user interfaces (UIs) are supplied with the IPC and hence are immediately available
for use. Since the IPC and its components are written in JAVA and based on Application Programming Interfaces (API), the UIs are modifiable as well.
The configuration engine (SCE) and the pricing engine (SPE) form the basis of the IPC. Both engines are
encapsulated in the IPC server and delivered as a whole.
Relevant data needed by these engines is provided from the knowledge base or the sales and distribution
application in R/3 SD and/or CRM.

Some questions about Unity 4.0 and IPC

I have a couple of questions and I was looking for "real world" answers, not specific answers from the design guide.
1.What is this bandwidth requirement between Exchange and Unity and what is it used for?
2. What sort of issues would we experience if we placed the Unity UM Server at the Colo and placed the Exchange server at the customer premise; with a single T1 between the sites?
3.What else is involved with a Unity UM install vs. a Unity VM install?
4.Does the Unity UM and Exchange servers have to be running AD?
5. Can Unity or the Exchange box be the Domain Controller? Or does it need to be a separate server?
6. Where does a vm message get streamed from? The Unity server or the Exchange server?

No you do not pay for FaceTime. It uses your WiFi network, so if you have access to WiFi it is free.
There is no server required for FaceTime, it will use a direct device to device protocol.
I can't answer the question about using phones in different countries as that will depend on if you buy a phone that is locked to a carrier.
If you buy a phone in Germany and it is locked to a German phone network then it will most likely not work with a SIM from Turkey. You would need to buy an unlocked phone which are very expensive as they do not have any carrier subsidy applied to the price.

Hi Shahid,
From the list download 'CRM IPC 4.0 - Windows Server on IA32 32bit - INSTIPC4010_0-10001862.SAR'
Also you need to apply appropriate patch level.

Hi, I am trying to figure out if the Java 5 Semaphore class is not just thread-safe, but also "process-safe". IOW can it be used across processes?

By process do you mean separate JVMs? Then the answer is no.
If you mean multiple CPUs, then the answer is yes.

CRM 7.0: set up IPC product configuration

Dear experts,
we set up a CRM 7.0 with ERP 6.0 backend integration. In the ERP we apply ERP variant configuration (Materials). Quite simple: some configurable materials (material type KMAT) with a few characteristics and product variants of them (material type FERT) which are maintained in order processing. Variant conditions are maintained and automatically determined for product items. Now we need this in CRM for opportunity processing.
Therefore we have created Knowledge Base and Runtime Version for the configurable products in ERP and downloaded test materials (one KMAT and one FERT (product variant) into CRM (download objects MATERIAL and SCE). In CRM product master data maintenance for the KMATconfigurable tab with the configuration profile is displayed. Afterwards we downloaded condition master data into CRM, among others variant condition VA00 with condition table A057. Everything looks fine.
In CRM we want to set up opportunity management. In the opprotunity transaction processing pricing is working already besides the determination of variant pricing. As we intend to maintain only FERT materials (product variants)we do not need interactive product configuration in CRM sales order or product simulation in CRM product master data. We only want the variant prices to be determined automatically for the product variants (FERT) in opportunity processing. That is why we are not sure if it necessary to set IPC configuration settings (XCM etc.). This is my first question. Nevertheless we started to maintain settings for product configuration in order to find out if this is solves our problem:
1.) XCM configuration (IPC): we set up a customer application for "crmproductsimulation" and defined customer components jco (RFC test worked) and productvariants and restarted J2EE Instance in TX: SMICM
2.) We set up product configuration customizing:
table: COMM_IPC_PROP: caller; crmproductsimulation; scenario.xcm; ZCRMproductssimulation
table: COMM_IPC_URL: UI_CFG; http://<host>:<port>100/ipc/ipc/command.do
When starting simulation of product model for configurable product in TX: COMMPR01 I get following error message: "HTTP500: ISA Framework: The [XCM application configuration]='ZCRMproductssimulation' does not exist. Check XCM configuration.
Details:   No details available". This application is maintained in XCM so I assume something else is missing.
To sum up my questions:
1.) Is it necessary to set up IPC product configuration as described above when we only want to maintain FERT products which are product variants and determine corresponding variant prices (VA00). No interactive product configuration is necessary.
2.) If it is necessary to set up IPC product configuration to active product configuration (to see product variants in product master data maintenance and opportunity processing and corresponding variant condition data), what did I do wrong?
Thank you very much for your help.
KInd regards,
Mark

Hi Arup,
thank you very much for your reply.
Concerning XCM / CRM customizing I have done the steps you recommended:
1. XCM: I created customer applications for crmordermaintain and crmproductsimulation and maintained customer component JCO for both of them (Assigned JCO User has SAPALL / SAPNEW, test run was successful) Active and default are ticked. Are there any further steps missing.May be in General Application Settings > Customer > ipcwebappconfig - I changed nothing there (SSLenabled: true)
2. In CRM customizing I maintained tables as follows:
COMM_IPC_PROP:
caller   crmordermaintain scenario.xcm   Zcrmordermaintain (name of customer xcm app -case sensitive)
caller   crmproductsimulation scenario.xcm Zcrmproductsimulation (name of customer xcm app -case sensitive)
COMM_IPC_URL:
Destination: UI_CFG ;Appl. <blank>; URL: http://<host>:<J2EEport/ipc/ipc/command.do
Calling the IPC product configuration e.g. from the CRM product master (simulate model), I get the already mentioned HTTP error:"ISA Framework: The [XCM application configuration]='Zcrmproductsimulation' does not exist. Check XCM configuration.".
That's why I am thinking that something is missing concerning the communication between CRM application and IPC,because XCM applications do definitely exist.
Is the URL correct .../ipc/ipc/commando.do which I maintained in table COMM_IPC_URL?
Is it possible to check if communication between CRM Online and Java does work respectively what do you exactly mean by "IPC URL must be available for UI_CFG"? UI_CFG ist a RFC-connection which has to be maintained additionaly and if so what has to be maintained exactly?
You mentioned a RFC_USER (This is the JCO-User I suppose?)and J2ee user. Is the J2ee user just the admin user of the J2EE engine or do you mean something different?
Thanks in advance for your further help.
Best regards,
Mark
Edited by: Mark Willhoeft on Jun 4, 2010 8:36 PM
Just one further thing: After changing XCM config I restarted J2EE by TX SMICM (Administration - J2EE Instance local - Send soft shutdown - with restart). Is this enough to restart J2EE and activate changed XCM settings or has the restart to be handled different?

IPC Java routine for subtotal
