Complex distribution Scenario using XI: MDM GL Account Custom Repository

Hi All,
We have a complex Landscape with multiple (4) businesses (multiple R3) instances and most common R3 --> DEV 4 instances with 5 clients each, QAS 4 instances with 2 clients each with some additional clients, PRD 4 instances with a client each and Training 4 instances with 2 clients each in the Landscape along with BW systems.
We are trying to implement standard MDM - XI - R3 distribution scenario. Only difference being MDM Production will be the Master distribution client and have to be distributing to all the R3 clients.
To achieve this syndication is being planned as MDM production to distribute files to 4 businesses to 4 file share folders. These files will be picked up by XI production and will be distributing(Creating IDOCs) on multiple receivers (R3 --> DEV, QAS and PRD) clients of the respective instances.
My question is: Is there an easy way to configure single file to mutiple R3 client IDOC receiver scenario? Also there might be additions and deletions of the R3 clients based on business requirements. Is there any proposed or already implemented procedure to achieve this complex distribution?
Your time and input is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
-Raj.

Hi Raj,
You can use the Syndication Server for a automatic distribution from MDM to XI. The recommended way is to distribute one file per target system. This means that you have to create the target systems in MDM and then use MDM Ports to distribute the message. You can configure a communication channel on XI in a way that it loops through your different port folders to pick the message. The you use the Receiver Determination to configure the receivers of your data.
A short question: do you always want to syndicate the data to all of you systems? The you could solve the issue easier: you send one file from MDM to XI using MDSS and a generic port. Then you use the Receiver Determination on XI to distribute the message to all of your target systems.
Kind regard

Extended Classic Scenario Pricing issue, can I over come by using SRM-MDM?.

Hi SRM GURU'S,
I am using ECC 6.0, SRM 5.5, SUS, LAC, cFolders and SRM-MDM with Extended Classic Scenario.
My Question is : In case of Extended classic scenario, there is issue with Pricing and conditions. Is there any possibility to overcome this issue by using SRM-MDM. Or do I have to go for IPC. My client has not brought IPC. I have to cover Pricing with the above components.
Anyone suggest me, how to proceed. Thanks in Advance. Awaiting for quick response.
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi Masa,
We can maintain Price and conditions as a record in CCM for Particular Material or Vendor. When you add that record to shopping cart it will update. I mean, If the provision is available in MDM, I don't want to use the Two components for same functionality.
If I use IPC, Is there separate license for that. What else need to be updated to use IPC (Patches etc).
If you have IPC configuration material, could you please share with me? How to bridge the SRM Conditions and ECC Conditions?
Please clearly give me details. I really appreciate you.
Regards,
John.

Hi,
Refer This SDN Blog, which gives you steps in detail....
LSMW Step by Step Guide: Legacy System Migration Workbench is an R/3 Based tool for data transfer from legacy to R/3 for one time or periodic transfer.
Basic technique is Import data from Spreadsheet / Sequential file, convert from source format to target format and import into R/3 database. LSMW not part of standard R/3, if we need this product email [email protected]
Advantages of LSMW:
 Most of the functions are within R/3, hence platform independence.
 Quality and data consistency due to standard import techniques.
 Data mapping and conversion rules are reusable across projects.
 A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion.
 Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
 Interface for data in spreadsheet format.
 Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions.
 Charge-free for SAP customers and partners.
Working With LSMW:
Use TCODE LSMW
Objects of LSMW:
Project ID with max of 10 char to Name the data transfer project.
Subproject Used as further structuring attribute.
Object ID with max of 10 Characters, to name the Business object .
Project can have multiple sub projects and subprojects can have multiple objects.
Project documentation displays any documentation maintained for individual pop ups and processing steps
User Guide: Clicking on Enter leads to interactive user guide which displays the Project name, sub project name and object to be created.
Object type and import techniques:
Standard Batch / Direct input.
Batch Input Recording
 o If no standard programs available
 o To reduce number of target fields.
 o Only for fixed screen sequence.
 BAPI
 IDOC
 o Settings and preparations needed for each project
Preparations for IDOC inbound processing:
 Choose settings -> IDOC inbound processing in LSMW
 Set up File port for file transfer, create port using WE21.
 Additionally set up RFC port for submitting data packages directly to function module IDoc_Inbound_Asynchronous, without creating a file during data conversion.
 Setup partner type (SAP recommended US) using WE44.
 Maintain partner number using WE20.
 Activate IDOC inbound processing.
 Verify workflow customizing.
Steps in creating LSMW Project:
 Maintain attributes choose the import method.
 Maintain source structure/s with or without hierarchical relations. (Header, Detail)
 Maintain source fields for the source structures. Possible field types C,N,X, date, amount and packed filed with decimal places.
 Fields can be maintained individually or in table form or copy from other sources using upload from a text file
 Maintain relationship between source and target structures.
 Maintain Field mapping and conversion rules
 For each Target field the following information is displayed:
 o Field description
 o Assigned source fields (if any)
 o Rule type (fixed value, translation etc.)
 o Coding.
 o Some fields are preset by the system & are marked with Default setting.
 Maintain Fixed values, translations, user defined routines Here reusable rules can be processed like assigning fixed values, translation definition etc.
 Specify Files
 o Legacy data location on PC / application server
 o File for read data ( extension .lsm.read)
 o File for converted data (extension .lsm.conv)
 Assign Files to defined source structures
 Read data Can process all the data or part of data by specifying from / to transaction numbers.
 Display read data To verify the input data being read
 Convert Data Data conversion happens here, if data conversion program is not up to date, it gets regenerated automatically.
 Display converted data To verify the converted data
Import Data Based on the object type selected
 Standard Batch input or Recording
 o Generate Batch input session
 o Run Batch input session
 Standard Direct input session
 o Direct input program or direct input transaction is called
BAPI / IDOC Technique:
 IDOC creation
 o Information packages from the converted data are stored on R/3 Database.
 o system assigns a number to every IDOC.
 o The file of converted data is deleted.
 IDOC processing
 o IDOCS created are posted to the corresponding application program.
 o Application program checks data and posts in the application database.
Finally Transport LSMW Projects:
 R/3 Transport system
 o Extras ->Create change request
 o Change request can be exported/imported using CTS
 Export Project
 o Select / Deselect part / entire project & export to another R/3 system
 Import Project
 o Exported mapping / rules can be imported through PC file
 o Existing Project data gets overwritten
 o Prevent overwriting by using
 Import under different name
 Presetting for Inbound IDOC processing not transportable.
One Last thing, Check in BD64 is the Distribution model is Active for Profit Center.

Role and use of MDM for SD consultants

is there any use of mdm to learn for sap sd consultants. Please suggest experts. how far it will be helful to me if I learn MDM , what will be my role etc

Hi Ramesh,
Appreciate your interest in MDM.
I am sure you will be using master data like Customers/Business partners in SD for various transactions like Sales Order mgmnt,Invoicing,Forecasting,etc. And, on several occasions you might have noticed flaws in business transactions due to incorrect/duplicate/incomplete master data maintained in your system.
Complex and expensive ERP/CRM/SCM systems deliver value to business only with clean and consistent data.
You can leverage MDM to -
a.Enforce Data integrity of master data.
b.Maintain single version of truth (deduplicated data).
c.Enforce Data governance inform of validations for business critical parameters.
d.Streamline Master data creation using workflows.
Being an SD consultant, by learning MDM, you can provide better and stronger business solutions to your customers in terms of Data quality and governance.You can leverage your SD experience to closely study Data centric/data driven processes and identify pain points in SD business processes. Make full use of Data management options that MDM provides while you deliver your solution.
Hope my suggestion helps.

Vinay M.S

Customizing Distribution - anyone using successfully?

Hi!
We are planning an SAP IS-U and CRM implementation and I hav read about the potential benefits of using the Customizing Distribution in SAP Solution Manager to keep customizing synchronised between IS-U and CRM.
However, I have also read advise suggesting that it is difficult to use, not very mature and should only be considered for complex solutions with an experienced support team.
Is there anyone out there who has some advice, based on actual use in an ERP( or IS-U) /CRM Landscape? What are your experiences? Are the benefits worth the effort?
Many thanks!

I haven't used it, but it sounds like you are looking at just two of the many products based on the DisplayLink USB video standard.
The little I've read about them says that they work, but will appear to lag compared to true built-in and DVI monitors. That's just because USB doesn't have the bandwidth of a real video card. This won't be a problem if you're just doing office stuff, but you might not like it if you are trying to do anything involving lots of motion.

How do I use the same iTunes account on 2 separate PCs?

Ok. I am new to Itunes in general & know there is probably an easy fix/explanation to my question.
Is there a way to use my same iTunes account for music downloading on 2 separate computers? I have iTunes downloaded on my home desktop computer but am wanting to use the same account on my computer for school? Is there a way to be able to share the songs on both computers without having to use like an external hard drive or cd or another method to transfer them between the 2. I want to be able to just download a song on one computer & then log in & it be there on the other one? Thanks!

HT204053 I have multiple people in my family that use Itunes under my account. Is it possible for them to have different user names? The reason why I am asking is when I go to FaceTime my daughter's iPhone it also rings to my husbands iPhone.

When I used facetime on my Macbookair for the first time I facetimed my daughter's iphone and it also rang to my husbands iphone. How do I keep that from happening? We all use the same itunes account so does it have something to do with that? do we each our own apple ID? and is it possible to do that?

Create an AppleID under different email addresses for each family member at http://appleid.apple.com
If they don't already have their own email address just setup a free one with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever you prefer.
Then on each device sign into iMessage with the users own AppleID in:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Tap AppleID at top > Sign Out, then sign back in again with the correct AppleID.

How to share safari iCloud tabs using a secondary iCloud account?

I have 4 iOS devices in the family: an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, ipad 2 and an ipad 3, all with the latest iOS software.
Each pair has its own separate primary icloud account. So, one phone shares a primary icloud account with one ipad, the other iPhone shares with the second ipad. That allows us to keep most things separated as necessary. However,. the are just 2 things I wanted to across across ALL 4 devices: Shared Safari Tabs, and Find iPhone. I wanted to be able to see what safari tabs are currently open on ALL these devices, FROM any device of these devices. I also wanted to be able to see the location of ALL 4 devices from any of these devices. To do this, I set us a second shared iCloud account on all 4 devices.
The new shared safari tabs feature works great with your main iCloud account on all devices you want to share this with....HOWEVER, it WILL NOT WORK AT ALL if you are trying to share tabs with a secondary iCloud account.
I set up a secondary shared family iCloud account on all 4 of our iOS devices by going to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account... and selected iCloud as the account type, and created a new family account. After creating it, I was offered options to share various things with that account. I turned OFF every share option except Safari and Find iphone.
Turning ON the Safari sharing option generated a box telling me that Safari sharing will be turned OFF for main iCloud account, (which is fine), and asking if I want to save my current Safari data and roll it into the new iCloud account or delete it (I've tried it both ways). I then repeated this process on all 4 of our family iOS devices. The result is that Safari iCloud sharing actually stops working all together. The new "cloud" symbol that was at the top of the browser window on my iPads , next to the bookmarks button, has now disappeared. On my iPhones, the menu option for sharing safari tabs has disappeared. So, enabling Safari sharing in a secondary iCloud account DOES disable sharing in the primary account, but DOES NOT REALLY enable it in the secondary account, even though it SAYS it is enabled.
Apple's phone support is worthless on this issue. multiple calls to senior advisors, 3 times being told my issue was being referred to "engineering"....never a single followup call or email back EVER, after weeks. i am really tired of so-called senior advisors even telling me "Oh, you can't have more that one icloud account in a device", which is NOT true, see above for how I have added one.
What is really odd is that the one other thing i wanted to share across all 4 devices does work: the Find Iphone app. Again,, turning this on in the secondary iCloud account settings causes a warning that Find iPhone will be turned off for the primary iCloud account on that device, which is fine for me. I did it on all 4 devices, and now from any of them I can log into Find iPhone and see the location of all 4 devices, even though they use different primary iCloud accounts. Sharing this feature still works with the secondary account.
So why won't the Safari data share properly with the secondary account? if this feature isn't supported with a secondary account, why is it there as on option in the first place? What purpose does Safari sharing serve with a secondary account? NONE that I can find, aside from DISABLING sharing completely for the primary iCloud account.
If anyone has an idea of how to make this work, or what purpose the Safari sharing serves in a secondary icloud account, I'd love to know. Better yet, explain it to Apple because they are clueless.........

Sigh...it's gotten even worse with iOS7.
While iOS7 may be a big leap forwards in most respects, the "Find my iPhone" feature has taken a big step in reverse. This useful feature is NO LONGER AVAILABLE for use with secondary iCloud accounts, ONLY your PRIMARY account.
This may not be a huge concern for most users, because many (including most first-tier tech reps at Apple I've spoken to) seem to believe that you can only have one iCloud account on a device. NOT TRUE. While you can only have one PRIMARY account, you can add multiple additional iCloud EMAIL accounts (go to Settings/Mail, Contacts & Calendars/Add Account/iCloud). In the last iOS, once you created a new, secondary iCloud email address, you could activate many iCloud features for use with the new account, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, Safari Data (which never actually worked), and Find My iPhone. Under iOS7, however, Find My iPhone is no longer available. Instead, a small paragraph below the new iCloud email account setup screen says "Only your main account can use Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data, Backup, and Find My iPhone."
Consider two cases where this is a huge problem.
1) We have a large number of company iOS devices that we need to keep track of.
2) Personally, I have an iPhone and iPad, and so does my wife. So do our kids!
In both the above cases, we created a secondary iCloud account, we'll call it "[email protected]", and added it as a secondary iCloud email address on ALL our iOS devices. In the setup screen we disabled everything EXCEPT "Find My iPhone". This account has a unique password, making it possible to see the location of ANY OR ALL the devices using the Find My iPhone App, WITHOUT having to share email, contacts, calendars, etc. among all these devices.
In our company, I can tract the location of any iOS device I gave to an employee, but his personal PRIMARY iCloud account is used to keep his mail, contacts, calendars, etc. secure. He shares this data between his iPhone and iPad, but NOT with everyone else. In my family, we all have our own primary iCloud accounts. I share mine between my iPhone and iPad; my wife and kids do the same. This allows us to keep our calendars, contacts, emails, etc. separated. But we all used the secondary iCloud email account ONLY with Find My iPhone. This allowed everyone in the family to see the location of everyone else, very nice in an emergency. Unlike the Find My Friends app, the device being located doesn't have to respond to a request to be found (very important when finding a lost or stolen device).
In both the above cases, we just log into the Find My iPhone APP on ANY iOS device, using the secondary iCloud account's email address and password (the email address is actually saved in the app, so you really only need to enter the password after the initial login). Viola! You can now see the location of any device that has that secondary iCloud account installed. And a person can still be untrackable if they wish, simply by turning off the Find My iPhone feature under the shared account's iCloud account settings on their device.
Alas, with iOS7 this is no longer possible. With the Find My iPhone feature only available for use with the device's PRIMARY iCloud account, there are only two ways to track another device:
1) Use the same primary iCloud account (which forces you to share other data and features you may not want to);
2) Log into the Find My iPhone APP with the PRIMARY iCloud email address and password of the person you want to track.
Either way, the person doing the tracking MUST have access to the PRIMARY iCloud credentials of the device they are tracking. This is a large security hole! Ask yourself: if you are a parent, do you really want your kids to have access to your primary iCloud account, including your mail, contacts, calendars, etc? Some people may not want their spouse to access that. In a company setting, do you want all your employees to be FORCED to share Documents & Data, Backup and Bookmarks, just to use the Find My iPhone feature? If they want to keep their mail, contacts, calendars, etc. separated from other employees, they will be forced to move these to a secondary iCloud account, which will no longer allow them to share Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data or Backup. Why this ridiculous limitation?
The bottom line:Find My iPhone is now only useful for the primary iCloud account holder, and can no longer be used effectively between larger numbers of iOS devices, such as families or corporate institutions. This should be addressed in the next update to the iOS.

Using a different .Mac account in iPhoto

We have a .Mac family pack. My wife and I each have a personal account and we would like to use a completely different .Mac account to post our web galleries, but I don't want to have to create a new user on my Mac just to use iPhoto. Is there a way that iPhoto can use a different .Mac account than the one associated with my user account on my computer to publish galleries?
Thanks,

I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

I used the wrong email account when setting up ios8 iCloud drive, how can I change it on my iphone5?

How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

I'm totally new to iphone/ipod. I need help with the following:
1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes? After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option. Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution. But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
I only want to share music between our devices. I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
Thank you!

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
