CRM 2007 and SAP PI 7.1 ESR

Good day,
We are implementing a remp-amp SAP CRM 2007 application.
I was wondering:
1. which web services available as part of the new CRM
2.what is the advantage of using SAP PI\XI with the CRM ( we still have a middleware right??)
appreciate the response.
Nimrod
hi ,
answering to ur second point - both are middleware .
with xi as a middleware ( when compared to crm middleware) xi/pi can communicate with both sap and non sap systems . when u say non sap communication its means communication with http, soap , jdbc( any data base) , file systems, web services etc . further advantage would be that with xi (in place crm system) within the overall landscape can be part of automation process called bussiness process management or process integration(BPM/PI).
while sap crm middleware caters to only sap communication (idocs,bdocs, rfcs,bapi).
further when sap crm middleware used either the sender sysytem or reciever system has to be sap crm . when xi is used the sender or reciever could be ANY system .

Can anyone explain the main differences between CRM 2007 and CRM 7?.

Can anyone explain the main differences between CRM 2007 and CRM 7?.
Does CRM 2007 use the WebUI?.
Jason

My fault for not putting my question forward correctly.
I have worked with CRM 7 a few times now, but my experience has jumped me from CRM 5 straight to CRM 7, having never touched CRM 2007.
I now have an opening to work on CRM 2007 so I was intrigued to know what it physically looked like. I assume it does not use the WebUI interface?.

CRM 2007 and Internet Sales

Hello!
I have here a CRM 2007 System that I didn´t installed. And now I should find out if Internet Sales Application (ISA) is installed.
I could not find anything about it on the system.
So I searched for this on the SWDC and only found notes for "SAP INTERNET SALES R/3 4.0".
Is there no current version for CRM 2007? Is it possible that this is already installed on the system?
Sorry, regulary I don´t work with CRM. Some people need this for a web shop configuration.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Geraldine

Hello!
We found out that this is for CRM 2007 the Web Components which are included in the CRM Java Components.
We wanted to install the Web Components with the JSPM but the JSPM does not show alle packages/components, especially not the Web Components. (Just 5 of 8)
So do we have to install the other components first before we can install the Web Components?
Please, anyone has an advice?

Geraldine

Difference between SAP CRM Security and SAP ECC 6.0 security

Hi
I have extensively worked on SAP ECC security but haven't have chance to work on CRM Security.
Can anyone please let me know the difference between CRM security compared to ECC security.
Thanks...

I am sorry to say, but instead of giving the guy a decent answer you are starting a fight or discussion about stupid forum points...
really sad.....
The big difference between SAP ECC and SAP CRM Security (up to release 5.0) was the following:
1) For sure there are very different transaction codes in SAP CRM as compared to SAP ECC in the first place
2) If you are familiar with R/3 or ECC authorizations; then you know that already on transaction code level, the 'allowed activity' is controlled on tcode level , whereas in SAP CRM , in most cases the 'allowed activity is not controlled by the Transaction code, but on authorization object level....
E.g. transaction code BP allows you to create/change/display any type of Business Partner (e.g; sold-to/ship-to/contact person/employee/customer) which is based on the business partner ROLE concept.... anyway...you can control the allowed activity based on different authorization objects.....
another example is business transaction processing...which can be launched by:
a very generic transaction code: CRMD_ORDER
transaction category related transaction codes :e.g.
> CRMD_BUS2000126 for activity management
> CRMD_BUS200115 for Sales processes
Again...allowed activity is not controlled by the tcode, but on authorization object level...
3) As of the new WEBCLIENT UI (which is valid as of release CRM2006s/CRM2007/CRM7.0) SAP also invented an extra authorization layer, which is UI COMPONENT LEVEL and logical links.... controlled by object UIU_COMP.
However, they also introduced the BUSINESS ROLE Concept (e.g; SALESPRO/MARKETINGPRO/...) which defines actually the functionalities, navigation bar, screen configuration, logical links you can use/see within the new WEBclient UI.
Another thing is that instead of using TRANSACTION CODES, as of these new releases, you are actually using 'external services'....so you do not authorize on tcodes basically....but the logic between tcodes and external services in relation to the authorization objects that are checked is more or less the same....
STANDARD authorization setup in the new WEBUI client is therefore controlled by both backend authorizations (not UIU component related) and the UIU_COMP (restricting access to workcenters/logical links/...)
4) Additionally SAP also provides a concept called ACE (which stand for ACCES CONTROL ENGINE)....
This requires a bit of customizing...and the rest is more or less pure customer development, as you will create your own methods where you'll define a logic which dynamically will verify what kind of access you have for an object....
You should now that ACE is actually implemented on top of your 'normal' sap crm security setup....

CRM 2007 and Custom ISA 4.0 application interoperability

Hi,
We are in the process to upgrade our CRM 4.0 back end system to CRM 2007, in fact we already performed the BASIS upgrade in our sandbox system to estimate the effort required for the upgrade on different areas.
One of this areas is related with the ISA web application, we have a custom ISA 4.0 application that we use to capture business transaction in our CRM system, but this application is running in a separate NetWeaver 7.0 system on the DMZ, we would like to know if it is possible to integration of the old ISA 4.0 with the new CRM 6.0 (CRM 2007) backend system.
The reasoning to try to leave the CRM ISA application on 4.0 is because we are using it just to provide us the framework to create transaction in CRM, in fact we only create one type of transaction in the CRM system from this web application and the effort to upgrade the java application to the new version together with the support package stack could be very high for a application that is not very heavily used.
In summary, the question is if it is architecturally feasible to connect a CRM ISA 4.0 web application with a CRM 6.0 (CRM 2007) backend system?
Thanks for your help with this,
Zareh Vazquez

Hi Zareh
Firstly I can advise that ISA 4.0 Is not compatible with CRM 2007.
One of the biggest issues that you will encounter if you attempt this
is the compatibility of the ISA application with
the Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox 2 browsers.
In ISA 4.0 even if you can get it to work with CRM 2007 these browsers are
not supported and no workaround is currently available or planned to address this.
This compatibility has only been address in the later versions of ISA 5.0
As these browsers versions are now becoming more commonly used
I think that this will be important for your consideration.
Please review the following notes which discuss such issues.
244869 Problems with the display in Internet Explorer 7.0
064439 Browser-specific stylesheets for Firefox and IE7
I hope that this will be of assistance.
Warm regards.

Hi Shoukath,
The ERP system communicates with SAP CRM using CRM Middleware.
Please find the below link for more details on CRM Middle ware
[CRM Middleware|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/76/5ea438c42a5b2ce10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Where as
PI is a middleware like many others. It is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP.If your focus is not on SAP systems, other solutions might be a better choice today. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows to define adapters to non-XML-protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target.
Process integration provides the infrastructure for business applications, that run in distributed systems. Process integration acts as the messaging middleware for service communication(both SAP and Non-SAP), connectivity, transformation and portability.
Applications can also be connected directly with Web services (including the Web Service Reliable Messaging standard).

Bounce Management in SAP CRM 2007

Hi Experts,
we have SAP CRM 2007 and I have a few questions about Bounce Management.
It is a very simple scenario, so it´s fine if only hard bounces for incoming EMails are handled.
1) Do you need ERMS for that simple form of Bounce Mgt?
2) Is the Usage of Inetraction Center required? (We do not want to)
3) Is it possible/recommended to create Activities out of incoming bounces?
4) Can you segment on Bounces, not only within the Campaign Automation?
5) What ist the effort/set up to use Bounce Mgt in that simple scenario about?
Thanks a lot
Florian

Yes, I was mentioning SAP Note 897730. The major pre-requisite mentioned there is Event linkage settings through SWETYPV transaction and in your case you just need to do the Rule Modeler settings. If you are using DEFAULT policy you do not need to do anything in Service Manager Profile.
The note pre-requisites mentioned are
The required services and service manager profiles for using the E-Mail Response Management System (ERMS) are defined: All entries necessary for bounce management are delivered in the default Customizing. As I mentioned before Service Manager Profile: Bounce is already defined and you are going to use that profile. The required service in your case would be "Bounce Data Update" or one of the 5 standard service mentioned in this note. These are already defined and taken care of in standard configurations. Therefore, you do not need to do anything over there.
Please do the above two settings and if you have any issues please come back to me. I am sure you won't have any issues with the requirements that you mentioned. I just took one hour to set up hard bounce scenario. Only if you are planning to use services that are not standard it becomes slightly tricky. In our case major issue was that there was an error in the standard workflow. I did not know much about Workflow bindings etc. before, but then I had to dig deep into this and it gave me an opportunity to learn workflows. This was the good thing that came out of all this.

Deepak
Please note you will have to do the Event Linkage settings in SWETYPV transaction.

Hello All,
The solution for the BI Reports in CRM 2007 has been found. The solution is as follows
You must assign the default SAP Netweaver BI system (RFC connection) to the logical system CRMBWDEST in transaction BD97. Need to have Graphical server installed also in the BI.

SAP CRM 2007 Business role assignment

Hi all,
We are using CRM 2007. and we are trying to assign Business roles to users using the PFCG ROLE ID attribute.
1- We create a PFCG role : "pfcgrole1"
2- We create a Business Role "Businessrole1" and put PFCG Role id = "pfcgrole1"
3- assign the user to the PFCG role "pfcgrole1"
We have two cases :
CASE 1:The user is assigned to a position in Org management but the position does not have any Business roles assigned.
RESULT : The user logs in to CRM, the user gets error message "Logon is not possible because you have not been assigned a business role"
CASE 2:The user is not assigned to any position in Org management.
RESULT : The user logs in to CRM, everything works fine
my interpretation : org management has precedence over business role assignment using PFCG roles and blocks Business role assignment even if the position has no Business roles assigned
Anyone has any idea how to assign business roles using PFCG ROle ID even if the user is assigned to a position without any business roles
Thanks in advance.

Please review these old threads first:
Re: Reg: Business Role
Assignment pfcg-role to user and assignment pfcg-role to business role
There is a lot of technical background on how business role to PFCG role assignment works.
Thank you,
