Connecting MDM to CRM

Hi all,
has anyone tried to connect the MDM directly to SAP CRM? I know that the CRM normally gets its master data from an R/3 but lets pretend its a standalone CRM. Data can be sent MDM -> XI -> IDOC, but CRM does not use any MATMAS IDoc. Is the only way to get that data into CRM by creating an IDOC and the related functions in CRM or is there an "easy way" around that, like an IDoc in CRM that only has to be mapped against a MATMAS-type IDoc?
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
first of all CRM does not make use of IDocs. Instead it has its own middleware layer using the so called BDocs, which are used for communication with R/3.
For CRM 4.0 there is some standard XI Content and the according Proxies you can use. You can download it from http://service.sap.com/swdc --> Support Packages and Patches --> SAP Content --> Process Integration Content (XI Content) --> XI CONTENT BBPCRM --> XI CONTENT BBPCRM 4.0.
Import this contetn to XI, then open SPROXY in your CRM, if CRM is connected to XI you'll see all XI components including BBPCRM there. This component contains a proxy ProductSetIn and ProductSetOut as already explained by Lars. Use this to transfer material data.
Best regards

  • Duplicate check for Connection Objects in CRM

    Hi,
    I want to implement a duplicate check for connection objects in CRM. The duplicate check shall use the address of the connection object and perhaps additonal attributes. I have found a duplicate check for business partners using the basis address service and TREX as index pool. However, I couldn't find a similar functionality for connection objects. Does somebody know:
    1) How to implement a duplicate check for connection objects which is based on the address of the connection object?
    2) Is there a way to use the TREX-based duplicate check which is integrated into the basis address service for connection objects?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Frank

    I also have a requirement to check for duplicate address at connection object level and we are using SAP data servies to validate the address. Can anyone share their experience.

  • Error in logical port while connecting to SAP CRM cloud

    Dear Members,
    I have created a logical port manually to connect to SAP CRM cloud system. But when I ping the web service I am getting below error. Please let me know how to solve this error.
    SRT Framework exception: Service Ping ERROR: Error when calling SOAP Runtime functions: SRT: Couldn't create Object: ("ICF Error when creating HTTP client object by Config for URL <WSDL URL>

    Hello Nihar,
    The error message indicates the HTTP client object cannot be created by the given URL. Please check if your URL is correct.
    You also need to check what protocol is used, HTTP or HTTPS, and ensure the protocol is active in your local ABAP system as well. You can check them by t-code SMICM->Goto->Services.

  • Connecting MDM to a LDAP directory (IDM)

    Hi experts,
    Does anybody already connected MDM to a LDAP directory? I have a requirement to integrate MDM with IDM (Novell). The IDM should mantain users and groups of MDM.
    Also, is there any way to connect UME on MDM user and groups database? this solution is also valid once the IDM is already integrated with EP.
    Thanks in advance,
    Armando Martines Neto

    Hi Armando,
    MDM integration with LDAP is supported in MDM 7.1, you can configure and use LDAP as a datasource for users and roles. You can create a custom attribute in LDAP to identify the MDM Roles. Refer to the MDM Console Reference Guide for the procedure.
    Regarding you second question, if you have configured the same LDAP ds in portal also then you can us Trusted Connections to enable SSO between portal and MDM.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Product catalog from mdm to crm isa

    HI MDM GURUS,
    COULD ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME THE STEPS TO REPLICATE PRODUCT CATALOGS DIRECTLY FROM MDM TO ISA (INTERNET SALES APPLICATION)
    PRIYA

    Hello,
    I wish the answer was simple and I get all the 10 points. But, I have lot more to add than just giving a report program name.
    Usually the CRM E-Commerce accesses the MDM product catalog as an external catalog. It is not customary to export the Catalog content from SRM-MDM to CRM-ISA. Instead the MDM catalog is Web Enabled for use as an external catalog by CRM-ISA. In the SRM system, the report program
    /CCM/PE_START_REG_PUBLICATION
    can be used to publish the catalog. Usually, this is scheduled as a background job to run periodically to publish the catalog.
    The E-Commerce (CRM-ISA) has Open Catalog Interface (OCI) hooks available to do this. But this needs to be configured in the XCM to access such external catalogs.
    Please read the contents in this link for a overview idea of [External Catalog Integration (via OCI)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/2f/86653fac7ab21ae10000000a114084/content.htm]
    Also, start from [Service Market Place - SRM|http://service.sap.com/srm] and goto SRM-MDM Catalog to know more about the catalog and see the Export process for other possibilities.

    why do you want to use JCo for connecting to MDM? MDM has its own specific Java API for this task. There's no need for using JCo at all.

  • Connected MDM and LDAP, but but now what? Why user mapping?

    Hi Gurus,
    In my last thread, I posted that I was not able to connect MDM with LDAP. I was finally able to.
    My problem now is I have to define user mapping in SAP Portal for the MDM business iViews to work.
    By connecting MDM and LDAP, I got the benefit that now the authentication and authorization is happening via LDAP.
    But this does eliminate the need for user mapping. If this is the case then why the real benefit of using LDAP?
    In this case this becomes worse as I need to know the user's LDAP Password which no body will share for sure.
    Any ideas? I want to get rid off this user mapping stuff.
    Warn Regards,
    Karan

    without knowing specifics of ur architecture, i can quickly point out two things:
    1)  LDAP is primarily used for authentication, true.
    2) Portal User mapping should not be an issue if u already have portal tied up to the active directory or some kind of single sign on?
    So portal knows the users who has logged it, polls the Active directory for authentication and Active directory logs into MDM with that users role.

  • Having multiple J2EE stacks connected to one CRM ABAP instance for CRM IPC

    Hello Experts,
    The situation we were looking at is this.
    We have 3 distinct teams doing Java development for CRM IPC configurators
    Team A - IPC/Ecommerce
    Team B - UI
    Team C - Order Wrapper
    They each wanted to do development in their own landscape (Java Stack)
    Additionally, two more landscapes are needed:
    a landscape for end 2 end testing of the configuration scenarios
    another for a Performance Assessment
    To get 5 full dual stack CRM instances was deemed unlikely.
    Trying to explore if multiple J2EE's, can be connected to one CRM ABAP system.
    It seems we can not, as the CRM ABAP to JEE comminucation is via RFC and there is excatly one RFC_Destination defined per CRM (across all clients). Is this correct?
    Thanks
    Rocky

    May be you can wordsmith your requirement to make it clear what each team is doing. Also, please mention what version of CRM / IPC you are talking about.
    From what you have said, I guess IPC/E-Commerce is E-Commerce enhancement. If NWDI is in the picture, you have one track for this enhancement.
    The UI - I assume is IPC UI. This is also a Java based web application that shares the same Java stack with the E-Commerce application.
    What is Order Wrapper? - If it a custom web application you guys are into, I still don't see why they can't use the same Java "stack".
    In the development lifecycle, it is sufficient to have only one IPC environment for each phase. The development team needs only one, unless they have a valid reason to have their own Java stack. I bet they need only one.
    If the developers are asking about "Sandbox", they can have their own NetWeaver Developer Workplace in their laptop / desktop.

  • Connect MDM components (MDM, MDIS) with Oracle (MCOD)

    Hello!
    I successfully installed SRM-MDM Catalog with MDS and MDIS and MDM console
    (scenario: SAP EHP4 ERP system with SRM server, SAP EP EHP1 and SRM-MDM Catalog).
    Now I would like to integrate MDM with Oracle.
    On the server I allready have 2 Oracle instances (SAP EHP4 ABAP and Portal).
    So I have MCOD Oracle installation.
    What are the technical steps (oralce steps) to connect MDM components with Oracle?
    (editing tnsnames.ora, creating/modifying tablespaces)
    kind regards

    Hi!
    Thank you very much!
    My current situation:
    Oracle software was installed and updated to version 10.2.0.4 by previous ABAP and Portal system.
    Now I installed MDM with MDM ans MDIS.
    So I have ABAP, Portal and MDM components on the same windows server.
    Now I would like to connect my MDM components to Oracle.
    Questions:
    1) Which oracle post installation steps do I need, when I allready installed Oracle and have 2 oracle separate instances on the same server (MCOD)?
    a) modification of  TNSNAMES.ORA
    b) creation of new oracle users for MDM/modification of environment variables for MDM OS users
    b) creation of new database instance or integration of MDM into existing ABAP or Portal oracle instance
    Thank you very much!
    kind regards

  • One ECC Connected to multiple CRM systems

    Hello,
    We have a scenario where we have single R/3 system (ECC) connected to multiple CRM systems. I would be obliged if someone can send me some documentation on tht.
    Also if we are creating an order in ECC, two queues are generated which I think is wrong. Can someone give me some advice on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Priyanka

    Hello Pratik,
    I would define two different systems in ECC. In such a case, if say I create one material in R/3 (ECC) then should it generate two diffrent queues for flow to CRM.
    Also if say the CRM Release etc for the two systems connected to one R/3 are not the same, then how do i take care of the entries in the ECC Config tables for replication i.e CRMFILTAB, CRMCONSUM, CRMPAROLTP etc.
    And how does the ECC system identify what settings it has to take for what CRM system and what queues have to be generated? What are the queues to be registered in CRM and ECC in such a case.
    Would be obliged if you can give me a more detailed advice.
    Rgds
