Configuring an OCI catalog for PM

We are in the midst of implementing the use of various vendor catalogs with SAP PM. One feature in version 4.7 PM is the ability to link to an external OCI catalog.
Have any of you created such a link and do you have any configuration suggestions or guides. I am stuck on what is actually needed and haven't found much information.

We hired a consultant that helped with the basic config.

Create OCI catalog for SRM using Web Dynpro

Hi all,
Have you ever implemented an OCI catalog for SRM using web-dynpro?
Please provide details.
Regards,
PooYee

Hi PooYee,
the BSP application would run the WD catalog and communicate with SRM.
In a certain way it would "wrap" the WD catalog application and enable accessing the http header.
This of course is not a trivial implementation.
Send me a mail and maybe I can give you some more ideas.

OCI Catalog for Vendor problem : Logical system for catalog not maintained

We have set up an OCI catalog with on of our vendors. This works fine untill we transfer shopping basket data from Vendor sysem into our SRM-system (SRM5.0). Then data is not being transfered and Vendor Webshop screen remains 'open'.
in SLG1 i have found an error "Logical system for catalog not maintained. Inform system administrator'
Anyone an idea what the cause of this error can be or what we need to check ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have not seen that error before. However, I think it may have to do with the LOGICAL_SYSTEM OCI field. Can you check if your punch-out catalog vendor is populating that field? Also, check if you have the correct BP# populated in the catalog configuration and the LOGICAL SYSTEM Field on the define External Webservices is blank.

Configuring a Solutions Catalog for E-Support

The Siebel E-Support Administration Guide says the following on page 52:
Knowledge base articles displayed in Siebel E-Support consist of Siebel Solutions records in your
company’s Siebel Business Application. To prepare knowledge base articles (that is, Siebel Solutions
records) for display in Siebel E-Support, you must create Siebel Solutions records, then add them to
the Siebel E-Support knowledge base catalog, and finally associate them with catalog categories.
NOTE: In Siebel E-Support, the category for a solution is not exposed in the Web service.
What designates the E-Support catalog? In other words, if I have an out-of-the-box install of Siebel and am setting up E-Support, what are the steps to either create a catalog for E-Support or change settings on an existing catalog to make it an "E-Support catalog"?

Troubleshooting javascript error in OCI catalog

Hi experts.
I have created an OCI catalog for a customer.
The customer is using SAP ERP ECC 6.0 EHP4 and IE11
When the customer is launching the OCI catalog the shopping site appears and everything is great,
but when the customer is pressing a certain button in the catalog nothing happens.
I suspect that this might be due to a javascript error in the code.
However the browser in this system has no developer toolbar and every menu option
is overriden. The F12 key is escape etc.
So basically what I want to know...
Is there a way to debug a javascript error in this environment?
By the way
When I run the code in a regular browser it is working
I have tested IE7 - IE11
FF 36.0.1
Chrome 40.0.2214.115 m
with regards

Multiple OCI catalogs in MM

Dear Community,
in standard, MM only supports connection of one OCI catalog for use in transaction ME21N or ME51N.
I have heard rumors that there is a "tweak" or "modification" that enables the use of multiple catalogs in MM too.
Does anybody know more details or has some suggestions how to carry out such change in the system?
Thanks and kind regards
Julian Bradler
PS: Happy new year 2009 to all of you!

Hi,
Could you tell me the SPRO path for doing setting for catalog use in ME21N and ME51N

Technically other than some [XCM settings and configuration|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/2f/86653fac7ab21ae10000000a114084/content.htm] that define the external catalog URL, there isn't much needed to integrate a OCI compliant catalog - provided, you already have a OCI compliant catalog.
Start here on some technical information on OCI catalogs - [/people/masayuki.sekihara/blog/2007/12/07/oci-open-catalog-interface-setting-and-trouble-shooting|/people/masayuki.sekihara/blog/2007/12/07/oci-open-catalog-interface-setting-and-trouble-shooting]

IW32 OCI Catalog

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to configure the MDM catalog to interface with work orders in IW31/32. I'm able to access the MDM catalog, but when I select an item in the MDM catalog and check out, the data does not get appended into the work order.
I've followed the help doc: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5d/0eba5fa0084247acbb0c04cede18e8/content.htm and I've configured all the prerequisites.
Wondering if there's anything I could be missing?
For the "Convert HTML fields to SAP fields" configuration, and setting up the non-stock item I wasn't too sure what to put in the SAP field column: POSTP or RESBD-POSTP or RIHFCOM_XL-POSTP, so I've tried all 3. Either way, the catalog item is not being adopted into IW32.
After doing some debuggin in FM: IOCI_PLM_CATALOG_IF:
285         WHEN '2'.
          ASSIGN (h_fconv_line-fieldname) TO <h_field>.
          IF sy-subrc = 0.
            <h_field> = h_fconv_line-fieldvalue.
          ENDIF.
324    IF NOT h_exit IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
The method seems to exit, as the h_exit value is never reset if the configuration is '2' or Fixed Value. Is this correct? Has anyone else had this issue?
Much thanks.

Hi Derek,
You will need to maintain a field link to transfer the imported fields to SAP internal fields. This can be done in customizing as following IMG point:
              > Interface for Procurement Using Catalogs (OCI)
                (/) Convert HTML fields to SAP fields
Please review this again.

Access a OCI Catalog from ABAP code

Hi Experts,
We may need to access an OCI Catalog from an ABAP code. We will need to punch out the Catalog in a browser window, and somehow get the results from the browser back to the ABAP code.
Any idea of how can this be accomplished?
Thanks and regards,
José Omar

Accessing the catalog is nothing but creating a hook url and directing to that URL.
For eg. you should have the parameters read from the SPRO settings in SRM and then creating an URL in the fly.
But as of now you can have hard coded URLs being fed in.
ie you click on a link and you fire the exit plug as in Web dynpro in suspend mode.
The main criteria is to have the catalog OCI 4.0 complaint. (read mandatory fields etc in OCI 4.0 documentation)
Then once you shop from some items in the catalog , the OCI compliant catalog will send you the data in the required file format.
At the receiving end , PO etc . you should have a ABAP method (at resume ) that interprets this sent name-value pair file from the catalog. then populate this data where you want.
you can have a look at the SRM methods that does the same in ABAP.
This would the 20,000 feet or more process overview on how it works. Hope this helps
thanks

Unable to find a qualifications catalog for the root object specified-ESS

Hi SDN,
We are getting following exception Unable to find a qualifications catalog for the root object specified when click on Add New Skill in Skills Profile, ESS . It is working fine , if user is assigned sap_all role. This is issue with permissions. Which role need to be assigned to work with Skills Profile in r3. Please help me out.
regards,
Sree.

Have a look in table T77S0 for an entry called QUALI ESSST and make sure the object ID stored there matches the appropriate node in your qualifications catalogue.
This setting is designed to be used for restricting ESS users to a particular part of the Quals Catalogue.
If the table entry was configured in your development system, it may not match the obect numbers in your production system.

OCI Catalogs in MM

Hi Guys,
as we all know since ECC6.0 we can use OCI catalogs in MM.
I now have a vendor who send me his OCI interface data. I customized the data. Everything is fine.
But I now have additions wishes:
1. Integration of multiple catalogs - only the default catalog is shown but there must be an opportunity to do this because it's mentioned in sap note 1092922 - has anybody done this before?
2. Is there any chance to influence the data from OCI catalog via BAdI or Enhancement. The only BAdI i found is ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE which is not accesible because it's declared SAP internal
3. How can i use the fields "NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD1" - "NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD5" can i define a mapping anywhere?
4. Has anybody here ever written an costumer specific transaction using MM Catalog API? Please let me know how it was done.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Christian

about Q2:
The BADI will be available to customers only from EHP4 on. The reason for that not being delivered to customer was that the
interface was not finalized and would be possibly changed.
If you want to implement it you may do it under own responsibility. In order to use this BADI, you need to execute transaction SE18 and select BADI ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE. You will need to uncheck checkbox 'within SAP' and save. Then you should be able to create your implementation via SE19. Or change the internal flag directly on database table SXS_ATTR
This is of course considered as a modification from the standard

PM to SRM integration through OCI catalog

Hi,
We have sucessfully set up the necessary settings in ECC6 and SRM for OCI catalog integration when in transaction IW31 (Create Order)
I can see in table EPRTRANS the PR number and when running programme BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER the PR is transfered to SRM. When looking in transaction SLG1 I am getting an error message saying the Tax Code 00 does not exist. Check enteries

Hi Yousif,
Why dont u save the search as a named search in MDM and then pass it onto the SRM MDM.
Save the records as Named search in MDM Data Manager
For eg:
Named Search name -->> search1
Now while passing the parameters to the SRM MDM Catalog specify the Named Search in its url.
http://J2EESERVER:PORTNO/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=search1&username=Admin&password=PASSWORD&catalog=REPOSITORYNAME&server=MDMSERVERIPADDRESS&datalanguage=EN
After passing the named search in the hook url the you will be able to see only the search which was saved in Data Manager.
Hope dis helps u
Regards Tejas.........
