Communicate with SAP by email

Sure, the title is strange,
but my customer want to do the following process : an collaborator who receives an email in HTML format may accept or reject a request, the response must arrive in SAP to continue the process (workflow). Of course the collaborator shall not authenticate to the SAP system. Have you ever had this type of application and how to cope ?
In SCRM I think it's standard, but in ECC6 no, I'm wrong ?
I had the idea that CAS should be able to receive an email from there I can parse a header encrypted. But at the level of security is it admissible?
Thanks for your help.

Have you done any research yourself?
It should be feasible to trigger a workflow in SAP from an incoming email. Not sure about the authentication. Related SDN post:

How to use Microsoft SSIS to communicate with SAP Extractors? Is XI a way?

Hello Extraction Experts!
here is a challange for you:
Our customer wants to pull GL Data from ECC6 as well as other various R3 Special Ledgers into a database (Not SAP BW at this point in time!), which can then provide the data to a 3rd party tax calculation tool.
Until we are able to move to SAP BW we would like to use the delta enabled General Ledger extractors to pull the data into SQL Server by using MS SSIS (Event Handler). The reason for this is that the standard extractors are
a) delta enabled and
b) provide data enhancements which otherwise we would have to rebuild. (like currency transformations or calculation of the cumulated balance)
So the big question is now how can Microsoft SQL Server with SSIS be configured in such a way that it can communicate with the standard extractors? All settings which are in the Infopackage need to be configurable (Data selection, update mode settings for full vs. delta request, schedule and so on).
The extractors use Services API, iDocs, RFC.
What exaclty needs to be rebuild and how? Is XI an option here? If we dont extract the data in the wway SAP does it it will be very difficult to move to SAP lateron.
Thanks for all your comments and help.
kind regards,
Marko

Interesting
Of course the easiest way to do it is to install a GL DSO on BW extract the data into there and then extract the data out of BW
However to do this you will need hardware and an additional license to extract from the BW system (it does cost quite a bit for the license - but it should be discountable)
The idea of using the delta extractors is fine - but to be quite honest the logic in the FI extractors can easily be built into a ABAP to dump the data out to a flat file
That will be cheapest option without any doubt - not the most fancy but definately cheaper
So I would approach it as - take the GL4 extractor code, hack it and write the output to a flat file.
The GL4 extractor does basically this..
read bwom_timestamp t get the last timestamp selected up to
read bwom_settings to get the safety mechanisms (ie how the timestamps should be manipulated)
loop around a datapackage size
   select * from bkpf where cpudat between two datetimestamps (from above)
     select from bseg for those records
     read into an itab and manipulate the data
     send package to BW
endloop
loop around a datapackage size
   select from bwfi_aedat where change time between datetimestamps
     select from bkpf/bseg for those records
     read into an itab and manipulate the data
     send package to BW
endloop
update the timestamp table with the timestamps used
Now you will need to have some sort of table in your source application which will resolve the duplicates - as GL transactions can be modified and FI does not provide a before and after image - ie you only get the after image

What port is used by Groupware connector to communicate with SAP CRM?

Hi!
I've been trying to find what port is used by groupware connector when it is communicating with SAP CRM, but all I've found is that is uses SOAP over HTTP.
Our security team only wants to open the relevant port and I haven't found the port....
Does anybody know what port is used?
Thanks!

How mobile device ( rfid/barcode reader) communicates with SAP transaction.

Dear Friends !
Good morning, How are you ?
I want to understand that in ITSmobile How Mobile device ( RFID Reader ot Barcode scanner/reader) to fetch the data and supply the ITS screen.
I believe every mobile device has some .dll file or something in that we have some methods if we call it say in .net or java application we can read the rfid or barcode and from the returning paramter of the .dll method we can get information what we want ( if i m not wrong).
now the question is if I have some barcode /rfid number which is assigned to sap material number. if on mobile device I run mm02 transaction code n trigger the gun can I get the material number in material number field . ( assume I have program which can fetch the material number from barcode/rfid number.) ? but to pass rfid number / barcode what should I do. I can write javascript and call that method but dont know weather I can use javascript or not in that.
to be simple:
How can I get barcode / rfid number to my sap transaction. if possible
please give me any suggestion. document link... help.... whatever may help me to understand this. I will greatly appreciate your reply
Thanking you
Regards
Naeem

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.
The Javadoc to get an idea about how to use those PIOS API for barcode scanner
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nwmobile/SP3/laptops/com/sap/ip/me/api/pios/scanner/ScannerConnection.html
As input from Barcode scan have to be taken in Wedge Mode, there is no need to do any developments in MI JSP Application. To enable barcode scan one can download barcode scan tools available from Handheld Vendor sites

BO Deski with SAP R/3

Dear All,

But i actually want BO deski to communicate with SAP R/3,because this is my actual requirement to build up some reports.
Can anyone pls help me out how to configure BO Deski with SAP R/3 with suitable solutions and links.
Thanks in Advance

Integrate BO DataServices with SAP PI

Hi
Has anyone extracted data from SAP PI web services using BO Data services 3.2. Is there any documentation how to do this?
We tried to create a standard Web Service DataSource, but we are receiving the error message:
An error occurs while browsing the meta data for the web service. An error occurred while importing meta data. Unable to resolve import document at url. Server response code: 401for url.
We also looked into using a adapter DataSource using the WSDL file we got from the SAP PI people. Then we can see the input and output schema of the web service but when we try to use data DataSource, we get the error message: XML parser failed.
What is the correct and best practice way to communicate with SAP PI using Data Services 3.2? Is there any documentation on this?
Kind regards

RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE with SAP ECC 6 Unicode

Hi All,
I am using BizTalk 2006 R2, Microsoft BizTalk Adapter v2.0 for mySAP Business Suite SP1 & SQL Server 2005 as a Database server.
In past we developed Orchestrations which were communicating with SAP version 4.7. Currently SAP has been upgraded in ECC 6(Unicode) system.
I have configured new Send Port on server. Orchestration was able to communicate with SAP ECC 6.0 (Non- Unicode) system but while trying to connect with SAP ECC 6.0 (Unicode) I am getting error.
A message sent to adapter "SAP" on send port "ECC 6 SendPort" with URI "sap://AS:**..*.*//**/" is suspended.
Error details: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
I also installed RFC SDK 7.10 Unicode version an also set environment variables for SAP GUI tracing. Now I can execute RFC which returns CHAR value but in case of NUM data type, I am getting following error in trace file,
T:4012 Error in program 'BTSNTSvc':
>> ERROR: Import parameter length difference detected.
Read length: 7. Expected length: 0. Type: 2.
T:4012 Error in program 'BTSNTSvc': <* RfcReceive [2] : returns 19:RFC_INVALID_PARAMETER

T:4012 Error in program 'BTSNTSvc': <* RfcCleanupContext [2] : returns 18:RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pankaj,
please note that there are metadata length differences between non-Unicode and Unicode systems.
This has to be taken into account if you have hardcoded the length in the used connector.
Please also have a look at the RFCSDK Guide:

Configure Sap NetWeaver MDM with Sap Netweaver XI

SAP NetWeaver MDM communicates with SAP NetWeaver XI by writing an XML file into a directory on a file server.
Can someone gives me an idea about the path of this file server? How can I configure it?

Hi Stan,
In addition to that Harrison told you,if you want automatic syndication of records ,then you must have to use syndication server.In case of syndication server the path of output file is always fixed and you cannot configure it.Path will be as follows:-
<b>
SAP MDM Root Directory\Server\Distributions\<server name> \ <Database instance name>\<Repository name>\Outbound\<client System code>\<Output Port Code> \Ready\</b>
If u want scheduled syndication of records(i.e. in batch mode) ,then u can use syndicator batch.And for manual syndication ,use syndicator .Both of these components will syndicate file where ever u want/specify on the file system.
For more details about syndicator batch

Is any 3rd party hardware/platforms required to enable communi with SAP?

Hi Gurus,
What server side hardware/platforms are required to enable communication with SAP mobile devices? What would be a typical production setup? Would there be any 3rd party components here that would require licensing?
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Hi,
if you want to communicate with SAP Mobile devices - you need a SAP Netweaver installation in Mobile UsageMode. This is called the middleware system. It is not recommended to have this setup onn your Backend system but to have a dedicated server for it - cause of Workload, performance and monitoring.
If you run MI client on a PDA - then you need to install NSICom Creme as Java runtie on PDA - but the license is already included in SAP MI lizensing cost.
If you have to support larger Datasets, then you might need to install DB2e as persistence layer. This causes an additional licensing you need to pay to IBM - I think via SAP, but well, at the end you need to pay something on top if you run DB2e. The normal used persistence is free of charge. It is called FileIO up to MI7.0, with MI7.1 it is called MinDB.
So all you really need, is a dedicated Netweaver Mobile Box.
Hope that helps!
- oh I have seen - check your other post on that topic as well .--- this post here is for occasionally connected apps - this other post talks about MobileOnline as well---

I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

I am not very tech savvy, installed Firefox and it w0n't communicate with my email (incredimail). also is there a way to transfer my favorites/bookmarks over from IE to firefox? Those two things would be a great start!

I am not very tech savvy, installed Firefox and it won't communicate with my Incredimail. If I click on a link in my email it does nothing. ie: if i click on the pay now button on ebay or paypal it goes nowhere. also is there a way to transfer all my favorites/bookmarks from IE to firefox. I've heard Firefox is so much better than IE but I am getting frustrated (probably out of my own ignorance of the program) and ready to go back to IE. Please help! Thanks. Jeanne

I cannot help with Incredimail, but I do know how to transfer bookmarks.
One can use File > Import from the menu or export favourites from IE as .html and then import the file into Firefox from the "Show all bookmarks" window. To get the menu to show up, press Alt. Firefox should have offerecd to import several items from IE when you first set it up. Did it not do that?

TS3899 My ipad does not communicate with iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting should be changed?

My ipad does not communicate with my iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting needs to be changed?

It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved.
