Creation of PM or CM WO by external source

I believe my request is pretty much standard, however I didn't find any info in existing threads.
If I need to initiate a WO execution based on an external source (for example, a message from Plant automation system) - what is the way to do it?
In my understanding, there must be a standard feature for SAP PM to "listen" to, say OPC server, and act upon certain condition.
Thank you in advance for help.

RenatF,
Unfortunately SAP cant "Listen" to external systems,Unless its visible inside. However as indicated above if the external systems can communicate the data(Either the exception or all the data records for a Particular Business scenario), then it can react based on the data and we could have SAP generate Transactional / ,Master data objects accordingly.
There are [different ways a communication|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/18/da766aaf5311d6b29f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm] can be established between a external system and SAP. The choice of the pattern depends on the what the external system can do and what are the standards maintained or are required to be maintained. Some examples of communication technologies are
1) RFC (Remote Function call)
2) IDOC (Intermediate Document) / ALE (Application Link Enabling)
3) BAPI(Business Application Programming Interface)
4) Through a Middle ware (SAP XI , MQ series, Business connector,.Net Connector etc)
5) SOAP Framework
6) Web services
There are standard content available in all of them.
So if you could specify what you are trying to accomplish and what is available at your end, we would be able to suggest possible options

CPPR error Wrong status: Send to external sourcing - pending

Hi experts,
we are on SRM 7.0 ehp 1 u2013 backend ECC 6.0 EHP 5.
Iu2019ve activated the process to create SRM RFx with reference to Backend purchase requisitions without PI.
In CPPR I select the backend purchase requisition and start collective processing.
In the collective processing screen I u201CShift to external Sourcingu201D
The status of the backend purchase requisition changes to Send to external sourcing: pending.
The system automatically creates a SC in SRM and a RFx in status u201CSavedu201D.
The status of the backend purchase requisition is still the same.
Also when I publish the RFx the status of the backend purchase requisition doesnu2019t change.
The following services have been customized for peer to peer connection:
RFQRequestSUITEAllowedBiddersByIdentifyingElementsQueryResponse_In
PurchaseOrderSRMPricingSimulateQueryResponse_In
PurchasingContractSRMArchivingCheckQueryResponse_in

In SXI_Monitor is just one XML: PurchaseRequestERPSourcingRequest_In.
Shouldnu2019t there be an outgoing XML to update the status of the backend purchase requisition?
What I need to do to get the purchase requisition updated?
Thanks for all your inputs!

Hello Stefan,
I hope you have cross checked the CPPR configuration as per the note 1263876.
For the logic of the Badi ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST in ERP system. Please find some relevant details of the way i have configured it.
method IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~ACTIVE.
setting cv_aut_sourcing makes the external sourcing functionality active
either manually or automatically.
setting cv_ext_rfx_ind makes RFx creation in SRM available
setting cv_ext_sc_ind makes SC creation in SRM available
cv_aut_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.   " ext sourcing active at all
cv_ext_rfx_ind = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.   " RFX creation in SRM, not in ERP
cv_ext_sc_ind   = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.   " SC creation in SRM possible
endmethod.
method IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~CHECK_EXTERNAL_SOURCE.
example Implementation:
Purchase requisitions are send automatically to external sourcing based on the criteria
implemented here. Thus, if you want to send PRs automatically, code your selection
criteria in this method.
IF is_req_item-ekgrp = 'SRM'.
    cv_ext_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.
ENDIF.
endmethod.
Also for the issue XML not getting triggered with the interface PurchaseRequestERPSourcingConfirmation_Out , first the XML PurchaseRequestERPSourcingRequest_IN to srm should be successfully processed. Once this done then srm sends the sourcing confirmation out xml to erp.
Is the in xml to srm processed here successfully ?
If yes kindly crosscheck the config as per the details above and also aksed your XI consultant to check the configurations for the Integration scenario used here.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Rahul

Best way to change iProc default for Internal vs External Source

We are using iProc for items that are available both from external suppliers and internal warehouses. Unfortunately, our sourcing rules are set up such that the source defaults to external even if the item is available internally. We cannot set up our sourcing rules to generate a default source of Internal but the business "requires" that the default source is Internal (so long as the item is available internally - it needs to be External if it is not available internally). I have dug around in the code and I cannot see a nice way of customising the pages to achieve that.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, have you been able to change the default?

Unfortunately, it is very specific to iProcurement - when you add an Item to the Requisition Shopping Cart, it needs to know the source of the item for the Requisition (whether it is internal from existing warehouse stock or external from a supplier) - this is the "Source" that I am talking about.
There are at least four different pages that have functionality to add items to the shopping cart (all in the oracle/apps/icx/icatalog/shopping or oracle/apps/icx/por/reqmgmt packages).
When adding to the cart, it is creating an oracle/apps/icx/por/schema/server/PoRequisitionLineEO object, but with the exception of one of the pages, the field is populated by a default.
Where there is a choice of sources, the user can explicitly select them on the oracle/apps/icx/icatalog/shopping/webui/SelectSourcePG page, but from what we can see, the same logic to set the default on this page is what is used if the user doesn't go to the page.
This SelectSourcePG uses the oracle/apps/icx/icatalog/shopping/server/SelectSourceSvrCmd class to populate and default this page. The basic default (internal or external) is driven off the logic in the POR_AUTOSOURCE_UTIL_PKG.AUTOSOURCE stored PL/SQL Packaged Procedure. This procedure queries the Purchasing Sourcing Rules and for our data (unfortunately) this always returns a default External source.
Based on your answer to my other post, I will try a warning message on the creation of the entity object and see how that goes.

Project not picking up changes in external sources

I have a flex project that's using a couple of other Flex
library projects as external sources... i have everything setup and
working nicely.
Except... if i make a change to one of the library projects
the flex project doesn't seem to pick it up... for a while... if i
add a log comment to my library project and build it, then run the
flex project i don't see the log... if i close down Flex 3 and
leave it for a bit, then open it and run it again... there it is...
if i close and immediately reopen i don't see it... seems like
something is being held in memory... but not sure if this is a Flex
issue or local to my installation/machine etc.
Anyone else seen anything like this?

Sounds like you are seeing a problem with project
dependencies, and possibly also slow compilation times. Would you
mind entering a bug at
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira ?
If you could zip up and attach the projects that reproduce
the problem, that will greatly help us investigate. However only
attach them via the bug form if it is code you don't mind the
public seeing. If you want to keep it private (but don't mind
sharing it with us internally), you can file the bug and email the
code to [email protected], including the bug number.
If you can't submit the code as-is, I understand, but if you
are able to strip it down to something basic / non-sensitive that
still reproduces the problem and submit that, it would be immensely
helpful.
Thanks much,
Tom

How to merge key field from external source system with SAP R/3 master

Hi,
In SAP BW 7.0 system, our scenario is Master Data for 0GL_ACCOUNT is coming from SAP R/3 alongwith the Transactional data records for standard FI cubes. Then, one more set of transaction data is coming from external source system, a flat file, into another custom DSO(ZDSO_FI), which also has this GL Account field.
This flat file's GL account, GL_file, has to be basically mapped/merged with the standard 0GL_ACCOUNT field so that at the time of loading the transactional data for custom DSO, ZDSO_FI (with transformation mapping GL_file > 0GL_ACCOUNT), system automatically refers to the 0GL_ACCOUNT master data to load these incoming transactional values, from the external flat file system. How can this be done?
To illustrate the scenario, say I have 5 records in 0GL_ACCOUNT, loaded from SAP R/3 into SAP BW-
0GL_ACCOUNT      Short Description     Source System
100                                   D1                          R/3
200                                   D2                          R/3
300                                   D3                          R/3
400                                   D4                          R/3
500                                   D5                          R/3
Now suppose if my flat file has following sample transactional data, to be uploaded in SAP BW ZDSO_FI-
GL_file      Key Figure1
400          789
200          567
Then after uploading this transactional data in ZDSO_FI (with transformation mapping GL_file > 0GL_ACCOUNT), the 0GL_ACCOUNT data becomes as below-
0GL_ACCOUNT      Short Description     Source System
400
200
100                                   D1                          R/3
200                                   D2                          R/3
300                                   D3                          R/3
400                                   D4                          R/3
500                                   D5                          R/3
So note that the system did not refer the incoming GL's from flat file, although the field is mapped to 0GL_ACCOUNT in transformation, to the already available master data. Rather created 2 new data rows for the GL accounts coming from external system. Because of this I am not able to perform the calculations common from standard FI cube and ZDSO_FI, with GL account as key field. I need to synchronise these data values based on GL Account to proceed with further calculation and am badly stuck.
Request if anyone can please throw some light on how to achieve this seemingly simple requirement?
Thanks in advance.

Insert picture and sound without external sources

how can we insert pictures and sound without using external sources??
i mean , i want to make the picture somehow embeded inside the program, not from external source,
can any1 help?/

I sense that what you need to do is create a Jar (java archive) file for your code and images and any other resources. Do a search on the forum for the terms -- jar pictures getresource -- and you'll get a ton of helpful threads. Also check Google. Some useful links:

I can't paste text from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.

Hello everyone,
Since a few days I'm not able to paste texts from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.
I never have problems with Photoshop CC before.
I have the new iOS Yosemite installed in my macbook.
It's really frustrating, can someone help please?

I have basically the same setup, except on a Mac Mini. I am unable to reproduce your problem. Double check that you are copying the original text in the first place, and then make sure you are pasting into a text layer as you cannot paste into a regular Photoshop layer -- nothing will happen. Create a text layer by clicking on a regular layer with the text tool, the T in the tool box. The new layer will show up in the layers panel identified by the first line of the text.

How to back up iPhoto Library to an external source?

I am using OS X Mavericks with iPhoto v9.5.1. This morning iPhoto tells me my photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. Stupidly I have not backed it up. I am reluctant to try making a repair for fear of losing my photos. So, how can I back it up to an external source (iCloud/external drive), before attempting a repair, when I can't seem to find a folder marked iPhoto Library on hard drive because I can't get past the message which seems only to permit 'Quit'. Thank you.

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

How to play MP4 videos from library assets, not external source

I can play MP4 video files all day long, as long as they are from an external source. How can I target via linkage MP4 video files in the library? I'm building a Kiosk application and can't have any external assets--only assets from the library. Please only post comments or solutions based on using the video object, not the Playback component. Thanks

have been trying this too , the manual says FAT32 files, just my two cents for ya

External source editor

Anyone know how to setup an external source editor?
D11 allows one to change loads of media editors based on its
"extension" and/or "mime/type", but there is in the list support
for source editor, which IMHO is the most important of all.
That and all the scripts DEFAULT to be writen as text files
in the same directory as the cast/movie that they come from
naturally.
I would like to use a "serious" text editor to hack
lingo/javascript scripts, not the internal text editor (which imho,
should just be scraped and sticked to view/breakpoint/inspect
mode).
Thanx in advance,
Kindaian

I like to use NetBeans at
http://www.netbeans.org/ . It
does code folding, and has a nice javascript reference. You can set
it up with Director by going to Edit->Preferences->Editors.
Locate the Netbeans executable typically at:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5\bin\netbeans.exe
Be forewarned though: You must specify an external file with
the .js extension for Nebeans to know its a javascript file.
Unfortunately, if you just double click any cast member that is a
script, Director launches the editor opening a temp file with the
extension .ls (as in Linked Script -dumb). Netbeans won't know what
to do with it and won't show you all the Javascript features like
code folding.
You must specify the external file first. To do this,
highlight the script cast member and use the Property Inspector in
Director to specify the 'Link As' file. Note that Director cache's
this file inside your .dir so you won't need to distribute the .js
source with your project.
