CRM / E-Commerce version confusion

Hello -
I currently have an ERP E-Commerce web site up and running (called ISA 5.0, before all the SAP name changes, I believe). This ERP layer runs onto of Netwever 7.00.
Here is where my confusion begins...
I am using CRM 5.00 components like SHRWEBAPPS and so on as the building blocks of the site. However, when I look to apply new support packs to my local and dev landscape, I notice that there are other choices availalble.
For instance:
SAP CRM 5.0
SAP CRM 7.0
SAP CRM 7.0 / NW7.01
My local J2EE currently has installed NW 7.0 SP16, but the DEV server, which was on NW 7.0 SP16, was just upgraded to NW 7.01 SP3.
So, I need to upgrade my local J2EE to NW 7.01 SP3 ( I think), but should upgrade my B2B application by now clicking and grabbing the CRM software components that are listed under "SAP CRM 7.0 / NW7.01"??
Keeping in mind that we do NOT use or have CRM installed. Our web channel has an ERP backend.
Or, should I just keep getting the newest SPs offer from the "SAP CRM 5.0" link?
And, if I need to move to "CRM 7.0", how different is that than "CRM 5.0" as far as the B2B is concerned? Our B2B is heavily modified.
Thanks,
Bryan

In general, the Java Application Platform namely the NW J2EE engine and the Java applications for example E-Commerce 5.0 for ERP can be at different versions. J2EE NW 7.01 can still run B2B E-Commerce 5.0.
Only requirement you have to comply with is, with in the application - E-Commerce 5.0 or 2007 or 7.0, all the components should be at the same version and SP level.
Keeping the J2EE compatible across landscape (local vs DEV) is advisable. If you have upgrade the NWDI which is a NW component then you have to do the same across landscape.
CRM 5.0 E-Commerce for ERP and CRM 7.0 E-Commerce for ERP are certainly different in many aspects and you have to evaluate closely before undertaking such an upgrade. Also, the backend system, in your case the ERP system should be of certain version (or plug-in compatible with older ERP systems) to run newer versions of E-Commerce application.

CRM E-Commerce BOB Web shop - Duplicate check for New Customer Creation

Hi,
In CRM E-Commerce BOB Web shop we have a requirement wherein new customer creation should go through a duplicate check. Only unique customers should be created as BP in backend GUI, in case a customer already exists with the same credentials, BP should not be created and user should get a message that the customer already exist in the system.
Currently the system is not preventing me from creating new customers with same credentials.
In case anybody has worked on the similar requirement or has any idea about the same, Kindly help.

Problems with pricing in Internet Order screen(CRM E-Commerce 5.0)

Good afternoon !
        We are using CRM 5.0 with CRM E-Commerce 5.0, and we are experiencing problems with pricing in the order screen.
        When we create an order and insert one item at this order, this item is processed and the price is calculated and shown correctly, both in the item and in the table of totals at the right corner(where is the Total Net Price, freight value, etc).
        If we change the quantity of this item, or insert more one item(with the same or other product), the price turns to zero, both in the item(s) and in the table of totals mentioned above. Also, in the table of totals, the freight value remains being calculated, even in this cases when the prices is turned to zero.
        What can be happening in this case ? What can I check to determine the cause and solve this problem ?
        Thank you in advance !
        Wilson

Sales orders, vendor determination in SAP CRM vs CRM E-Commerce?

Hello,
We are creating Sales Order through SAP CRM E-Commerce B2B scenario.
We noticed that vendor is determined at header level but not at item.
If we create a Sales Order in SAP UI (tx: CRMD_BUS2000115) (same transaction type used by B2B) with the same data Vendor is determined at header and at item.
Any idea?

Hello Folks,
I Have many years implementing IBM Net.Commerce and Websphere Commerce Suite, and 3 years with SAP CRM. What I can tell you:
IBM Sol. has less tables than SAP. It´s much easier to extend the Database.
In terms of catalog management IBM Solution, it´s not good. There´s a web interface do administer it. Very hard. There´s the option to use the massimport utiity. Same thing as Batch input of SAP.
Integration to third party solutions for IBM product, it´s hard. Have to use WBI, or decompile java kernel. For SAP is easier, depending of what you need.
Both solutions work with B2B and B2C, plus IBM working with dutch, reverse and normal auctions.
IBM can work with mobile but you need to acquire the everyplace solution suite. SAP CRM can work with integration for handhelds, naturally, just configure it.
Now the point where it´s very hard really: Taxes and deliveries. SAP has localization for almost every countries around the world. IBM just works fine for USA and Canadá.
For the pricing procedure, SAP, indeed is much better.
Conection with third party delivery companies, like Fedex, UPS or DHL, both don´t have it. Including taxes, except IBM for USA and Canadá, how told you before.
For materials, SAP has a much better implementation, to work with products, itens, services, and so on. IBM has infinite number co categorize a product, and products can have a limited number of attributes. For example a blue and pink pant. Color is an attribute for sap.
For user, IBM has something named non stop shop, where is possible to buy something without a full registration. In SAP, yu have to register entirely.
About visual Design, for both you must respect the JSP, or BSP, in front-end, for IBM and SAP solutions. Don´t leave it on hand of the webdesigner.
The learning curve for learning both are long.
Well there are the points... If you need something else, contact me.

Luiz David

What are points to focus on SAP CRM E-Commerce

I need to work on CRM E-Commerce java components for support. To get the KT from the development, what are the places i need to concentrate for getting the valid information. Like, What are the area's, I need to concentrate and make sure that all the information is captured for supporting the application.
Thanks.

Unlike ESS/MSS where you can literally hack through any class (correct me if I am wrong), Web Channel application has been designed to be "modified and enhanced" without the need to change the standard class files (theoretically).
when i spoke the development team, he is saying that, they modified only SHRWEB and CUSTPRJ rest of the components (CRMWEB, CRMAPP, SHRAPP,) not modified also recommended not to modify by SAP. I am unable understand why.
The components that need to be modified depend solely on the application you are working on. In your case, I guess it is the b2b
The E-Selling (b2b) application related components that can be modified (the key word here is "that can be modified") which happen to be the JSPs in the WebContent folder in the SHRWEB are the only components you need to modify "directly". The standard class files (Java) need not be touched according to the enhancement framework. Any custom classes you develop either as new or as extension of a standard class will all go to crm/home/shr/ext which is also in SHRWEB.
I am unable understand why. Sice DEV & EXT guide saying . Any customer related changes can go to - crm/home/crm/ext in CRMWEB - crm/home/shr/ext in SHRWEB - Can you clarify , is this correct. ?
From what was explained above in this thread, where the customer changes need to be depends on where the application exists. For example, for E-Service related apps, icss it is not SHRWEB.
Also i am trying to understand, There are lot of dc's availabl in sharweb. how to identify which dc is related to web order and which is related complaints and returns.? or some other process.
I won't say the extension guide is written for general audience. I must agree with you on that. The guide is written by the experienced developers for "experienced" developers. Not for me or you. Like all other SAP documents, they are written for those who know the subject thoroughly. As you gain experience, you start appreciating the document. But, if you read slowly and properly, you will see what I have explained above very clearly. Try to understand the scenarios explained in the document.
Is there any where documented in SAP docs. I have red the DEV & EXT guide, there details are not available. That is explaining only the how to extend the application.
Read the Tutorial too. See the different scenarios and see what techniques are used and try to analyze why.
Same way the dc's which are in SHRWEB and CRMWEB related which modules or process. Is there any relation ship between these two .SCA files.?
Generally based on group of applications. But that doesn't create any restriction, for you can always create dependency for any DC in your custom project.

BWA1 is getting transported without mapping in CRM 5.0 version

Hi,
We transported all the datasources from CRM dev system to CRM QA system, but when we checked BWA1 in QA CRM 5.0 version, we were surprised to check that the selection tab and the mapping tab were not having any entries, though the DEV system was populated with entries.
What could be the reason and how can we get those entries in QA CRM BWA1 transaction for the datasources 0CRM_OPPT_H, 0CRM_OPPT_I, 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 and 0CRM_SALES_ACT_I.
Any help in this regard will be very helpful.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Kishore,
We had similar issue before. Do not use the replication scenarios X,Y or Z. You have use the scenario A which will solve your problem for sales order replication issues. Please refer to the note 705200. For rest of issues make sure in both the systems the queue scheduler is running. If not running actively then register the each queue in both the systems using SMQS and SMQR. If still the issue is not solved then let me know.
Award points, if the issue is solved

OC4J Version Confusion - 2.0.0.0 or 9.0.2.0.0 ?????

On my desktop PC I have JDevelop9i RC, which reports its OC4J version as Oracle9iAS (2.0.0.0) Containers for J2EE.
On my server PC I have the developer's preview of OC4J Version 2 as downloaded from the Oracle site, which reports its version as
Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE.
I have been experimenting with deploying session beans as Web Services. I can register such a bean with my local SOAP server and access it, but JDev will not allow me to register with the remote SOAP server. It just doesn't give me the option in the dropdown menu, even though the SOAP connection is created and tested in JDev.
Another problem is that I have been experimenting with accessing my EJBs using HTTP tunneling. Again, I can get this to work against my local OC4J, but when I run it against the remote one it reports that it can't find the EJB's home interface. The EJB works perfectly well without the HTTP tunneling.
I'm very confused. I would expect the version of OC4J on the remote machine to be the latest version but the JDev one seems better ... which should I be using?

The release 2 of Oracle9iAS is versioned as 9.0.2 so OC4J is versioned as 9.0.2. OC4J developers preview 9.0.2 is a little newer version than the embedded version in JDev (2.0.0). We will shortly come with a new and updated version of OC4J Developers preview.
For JDeveloper 9i problems please post your questions in JDeveloper 9i forum and you will get better and faster response. Following is the link for JDev 9i forum http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=513211 .
hope this helps

Crm Upgrade from Version 4.

Hi All
We are currently planning to upgrade our Crm version from 4 to version 5 or possibly version 7.
We have extensivley modified the web ic bsp application and I am gathering information on what is involved in a system upgrade.
If anyone has any experience with later versions of the web ic and what is involved in a technical upgrade can you please mail me details and any documents you may have.
If anyone has a copy of the web ic cookbook for version 5 or later can you mail me this also.
My address is [email protected]
Thank you

Hi Darren,
The biggest change for the webclient is that there is now the framework bsp application IC_BASE which is the top-left-bottom part of the webclient (toolbar, navigation bar, broadcasting bar, etc) and the application itself (the webclient) is bsp application CRM_IC is now only the workarea of the screen.
the reason for this is that in newer versions of CRM ( as op 2006s) everything is based on the webclient technology (bol/genil).
This means that you now have different types of navigation (through different bsp applications), so that you runtime repository now contains more navigational links (specified sometimes with the bsp application in front of the view).
As of version 5.0 you can run ICWC in Internet Explorer 7 (be carefull there are some notes) and you need to add a user parameter to you user (or directly in the call of the ICWC) CRM_ICWC_DESIGN (value DESIGN2003). Also please take into account that this parameter is used in the webclient, but SAP does not supply it in it's table of parameters (TPARA) so you have to add it yourself (only possible via debugging in tx SE16.
Hope this helps a bit.
Micha
ps. The cookbook can be found under service.sap.com/crm-inst CRM 5.0 --> Core components

Mutations to update entity store by several versions - confused

I am slightly confused about how mutations work. We have been working in our development environments making changes to a particular entity as follows:
Version 1 - deleted a field. It was not marked as a database key. Added a deleter like this:
new Deleter(XXXXXXX.class.getName(), 0, "xxxxx")
Version 2 - added a field. It is not marked as a database key, hence incremented version number, but no mutation code.
Version 3 - deleted a filed. It is not marked as a database key. Added a deleter like this:
new Deleter(XXXXXXX.class.getName(), 2, "yyyyy")
This worked fine for multiple deployments in local development environments, but when we tried to deploy to a test environment, we got this error message when trying to initialise the database:
Caused by: com.sleepycat.persist.evolve.IncompatibleClassException: (JE 4.0.103) Mutation is missing to evolve class: com.chello.booking.model.XXXXXXX version: 0 to class: com.chello.booking.model.XXXXXXX version: 3 Error: Field is not present or not persistent: yyyyy
Mutation is missing to evolve class: com.chello.booking.model.XXXXXXX version: 1 to class: com.chello.booking.model.XXXXXXX version: 3 Error: Field is not present or not persistent: yyyyy
(Note that when upgrading an application in a replicated environment, this exception may indicate that the Master was mistakenly upgraded before this Replica could be upgraded, and the solution is to upgrade this Replica.)
     at com.sleepycat.persist.impl.PersistCatalog.init(PersistCatalog.java:440)
     at com.sleepycat.persist.impl.PersistCatalog.<init>(PersistCatalog.java:221)
     at com.sleepycat.persist.impl.Store.<init>(Store.java:186)
This is not a replicated environment. I had a read through the documentation and don't see anything that prevents us from working like this. Can anyone explain what is going on please?
Incidentally, in case it matters, this is how the mutations are handled during entity store initialisation:
storeConfig.setMutations(mutations);
storeConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
storeConfig.setTransactional(true);
EntityModel model = new AnnotationModel();
model.registerClass(XXXXXXX.class);
storeConfig.setModel(model);
entityStore = new EntityStore(......
Kind regards
James

Hi James,
Mutations must be configured to transform all old versions to the current version. So you also need:
new Deleter(XXXXXXX.class.getName(), 0, "yyyyy")
new Deleter(XXXXXXX.class.getName(), 1, "yyyyy")
I figured this out from the version numbers in the error messages. Note that there are two error messages listed in the exception. The doc explains this in a little more detail, although in very abstract way:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/persist/evolve/package-summary.html
Mutations are therefore responsible for converting each existing incompatible class version to the current version as defined by a current class definition. For example, consider that class-version A-1 is initially changed to A-2 and a mutation is added for converting A-1 to A-2. If later changes in version A-3 occur before converting all A-1 instances to version A-2, the converter for A-1 will have to be changed. Instead of converting from A-1 to A-2 it will need to convert from A-1 to A-3. In addition, a mutation converting A-2 to A-3 will be needed.When you say this:
This worked fine for multiple deployments in local development environments, but when we tried to deploy to a test environment, we got this error message when trying to initialise the database:I worry that you're evolving your environment separately on different machines. This won't work. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but if you add mutations and create multiple new versions in a development environment, that sequence of steps won't work for the deployed environment that hasn't gone through the same sequence of steps. Perhaps something like this is what happened.

tlib-version confusion

Hi,
I have just shifted to JSTL 1.1. I also changed to Servlet spec 2.4, JSP 2.0. I was getting some runtime exception for JSTL, I changed the uri to http://java.sun.com/jstl/core for c.tld and could overcome this error. In all my other jsps I changed from :
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">to
<taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0">I did this change for all my own tlds as well. But there is this tag,
<tlib-version>1.2</tlib-version>
<jsp-version>1.2</jsp-version>What does the tlib-version mean. Is this my tlds version. Or the jstl version I am using. if it is jstl version then it shld be 1.1 for all of files. But even when the jstl was 1.0, my tlds already had 1.2.. I think this is my tlds version. I am a little confused though.
ANd what does the jsp-version means, shld it be 2.0 in my case then. I know, for JSP 2.0 I shld delete the jsp-version, it is not needed.
Can anyone plz explain.

Got the answer to this, it is the tag library version:

Replicating Product Catalog for CRM E-commerce (empty)

Hi All,
We have CRM 5.0 and trying to implement B2B E-Commerce. We created a product catalog in the CRM and configured XCM and shopadmin application. We created webshops for B2B. The B2b Webshops list is available.
I replicated the product catalog, but When I watch the ftp folder I saw is empty. The system created folder but not images.
But after selecting any of the shop we get this error.
*The catalog that you have selected is currently unavailable; try again later *
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem.
We have checked Trex and J2ee connection too
¿Thank you

Hi Lyda,
My best suggestion is, to separate the catalog product content from MIME (images) content while publishing.
First try publishing only a very small catalog product content without images. You can do that by not entring any value in the field - 'Publishing Computer ID' Also no need to check any of the check boxes under this field. Make sure you have enabled all required catalog components (header, variant and products etc) Also make sure you have all green lights after the initial replication.
If you have some red lights then check each red line for the error. Make sure you have esablished the necessary connection to TREX using tx SRMO
Also check XCM configuration http://CRM server:port/b2b/admin/xcm/init.do for a valid webcatalog component configuration.
If all of the above settings are OK, then check with BASIS team whether TREX installation is done properly with appropraite XCM configuration. Since you are on CRM 5.0, then SLD is a valid component where TREX has to be registered with it.
You may tcodes SRSE. TREXADMIN and SES_ADMIN to validate the TREX availability and indexing.
Hope this helps you in solving your problem
