CRM middleware replication, Bdoc modelling ......

Hello,
I am currently on to CRM middleware, ........ I need to do some work related to replication of data from ECC to CRM, Bdoc modelling, error handling etc.
I actually went thru the posts, but could not quite get the clarity.
Can anyone pls let me know where to start..... to get a good underatanding of CRM middleware , any documentations on CRM middleware would be of great help.
Thanks a lot !!
Veena.

Dear Veena,
To get a good understanding of R/3 and CRM master data replication, the SAP best practices
C71- Connectivity
B01- Generation
B09- Customising Replication
C01- CRM OrgModel
C03-Master and Transactional data replication
will help you a lot in real time process. For basics & fundamentals, you need to go thru the CR500 and CR550 which can really help you.
About error handling, better you search the SAP NOTES in CRM Middleware section.
But for your client specific scenarios, you should again post threads on SDN with proper requirements.
Thanks&regards,
kalyan

Z table middleware replication from R/3 to CRM

Looking for a CRM Middleware Guru out there !!!
I'm trying to replicate a simple R/3 table (list of countries in my example below. The replication must include both initial and delta downloads.
My problem is the following:
When doing an initial load using Transaction R3AS the BDOC is created correctly.
The traffic lights are green in transaction SMW01 with a status of Confirmed (fully processed).
The segments of the BDOC are populated with the correct value from R3 <b>BUT</b> <b>the table on CRM is not populated.</b>
Here is what I have done so far:
1-Created table on R3 ZCOUNTRY
2-Created mapping Function on R3 Z_CRS_MAP_ZCOUNTRY_BAPIMCTS
3-Created extract Function on R3 ZCOUNTRY_EXTRACT
4-Created an entry in Table CRMSUBTAB for Function ZCOUNTRY_EXTRACT
5-Created Receiving Module in R3 Z_CRM_COUNTRY_COLLECT_DATA triggered on SM30 for the Delta Load
6-Created table on CRM ZCOUNTRY
7-Created Bdoc on CRM ZCOUNTR_MESG
8-Created validation Function on CRM ZCRM_ZCOUNTR_MESG_VAL
9-Add an entry in SMW3BDOCIF for BDOC ZCOUNTR_MESG and Validation Function ZCRM_ZCOUNTR_MESG_VAL
10-Created mapping Function on CRM ZMAP_COUNTRY_BAPIMTCS_TO_MBDOC
11-Created MW Adapter Object in CRM ZCRMCOUNTRY
12-Created a replication Object on CRM ZCOUNTR_MESG
13-Created a publication on CRM ZCOUNTRY
I'm not sure why the CRM does not get populated. Could it have anything to do with "GUID" keys?
The 2 fields on my bespoke table are:
-Country
-Continent
In my Root Data Structure for the MBDOC do I need to add GUID as the first fields i.o.w.
-GUID
-Country
-Continent
When I choose my segment fields do I choose (?):
-GUID
-Country
-Continent
In my CRM Mapping function how do I populate the GUID field? (see the code below in the mapping function). How do I get a value into lv_sfakey and does this have anything to do with the GUID mentioned above.
MOVE lv_sfakey TO segment_line-guid.
AND
MOVE lv_sfakey TO ext_line-data-guid.
Thanks for any help
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
I have a similar situation as you have described. However my problem is that when i start the initial load, the status in the RFC inbound queue of CRM (smq2) shows stop and the oject shows the status running. I dont know how to debug the
Validation FM and Mapping FM written for the same. Can you please explain me the meaning of the status shown in the crm queue.
Thanks,
Vaishali

Why we need crm middleware for material replication?

Hi Experts,
Why we need CRM middleware for material replication from ECC to SRM when we can do the vendor replication from ECC to SRM with ABAP report? IS there any technical limitation?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello,
Vendors and locations, for example, you can replicate from ECC to SRM using ABAP reports.
However, if you want to replicate the following information, you should use the middleware:
- DNL-CUST-BASIS3 - Basis CRM online
- DNL-CUST-PROD0 - Material number conversions
- DNL-CUST-PROD1 - Product : categories
- DNL_CUST_SRVMAS - Customizing: Service Master
- MATERIAL - R/3 Material Master
- SERVICE_MASTER - R/3 Service Master
Check note 872533. It provides more information.

Ricardo

Why SAP SRM material replication happens through CRM middleware?

Can some one help me to understand, Why SAP SRM material replication happens through CRM middleware? Is there any functional/Technical reason behind this design?

Dear Sridhar,
SRM releases later SRM 4.0 are working with the same middleware implementation,
there where no changes between the releases. The SRM middleware implementation
was decoupled from the CRM middleware development at that time.
(Middleware is based on the basis functionality of queued Remote Function Calls qRFC)

CRM MIDDLEWARE QUERY FOR PRODUCT REPLICATION -URGENT

Hello All,
I am replicating the product categories(in SRM terminology) i.e. initia load of Material groups from backend(R/3) into the SRM system through the CRM Middleware.
At the r/3 side in the tcode SMQ1(Outbound Queue),i am getting the status as STOP while at SRM side(i.e. CRM middleware) in the tcode SMQ2(Inbound queue),i get the status READY.Also when I go in for the transaction of Monitoring Initial Load (R3AM1),I get the status as RUNNING.
Can anyone please tell me how much time it takes to download these objects because I had started the Initial Load for 4 Objects out of which the 1st object took 4 hrs to be downloaded!Please help.
Thanks & regards,
Disha D

Also I got an error in executing the report BBP_PRODUCT_SETTINGS_MW with the foll information text :-
The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLSMSG" in "MESSAGE_STOR
The main program was "BBP_PRODUCT_SETTINGS_MW ".
The termination occurred in line 44 of the source code of the (Include)
program "LSMSGU02"
of the source code of program "LSMSGU02" (when calling the editor 440).
What customizatuon/configuration settings are required for this report to be executed succesfully????

CRM Middleware in Material Master replication

Hi All,
Why CRM Middleware is required to replicate Material Master from ECC to SRM whereas the Vendor Master
is replicate with Transaction....could you please explain.
Thanks & Regards
venu

If your CRM system is new then you have to do the initial download of material from ECC to CRM. To do that first download the material customizing object (like category. group etc), from transaction R3AS (CRM side) then download the product/Material.
After do the initial download, activate the change pointer for the material related message type (matmas etc..)from transaction SALE (ECC). And schedule I job to run its on daily basis.
If can check the below link for details

SAP CRM Middleware flow from R/3 to CRM

hi
I am new to CRM middleware I have some doubt about the replication from the R/3 to CRM.
I have some 4 basic questions Kindly help me out
1.in initial down lode how to know which object for which requirement? There is any list like these objects for this one?
2.when the initial download have to use and when the delta down lode have to use?
3.object creating is preferable option or not if yes in which condition we have to create the objects?
4.what is the difference between customizing objects and business objects? and when we have to use which object ?
wiht Regards,
prakesh..!

Hi Prakesh
Happy to hear that my answers were useful. Hope this new will solve your problem.
So let's reply to your new questions.
1) Yes it is the delta download. This means that you have already triggered the initial download. Now all changes or new creations are replicated into the CRM system. I do not suggest this approach. This is usually used when you have no other chance because this process is complex and very time consuming. I would suggest checking the BDoc before proceding with degugging the queue. Go to transaction code SMW01. Filter on time (when you made the change). You will find bdocwith a red or yellow traffic light. This means that data have been not processed in CRM system. You usually have an error message (just select the BDoc from the list and click the red button in the toolbar) attached to the BDoc that is explainatory of the error. Correct the error and reprocess the BDoc (there is a proper button).
2) To debug the queue go to transaction code SMQS and SMQR and deregistrate inbound and outbound queue in the CRM system. After you do this, apply the changes to the customer. You will find an inbound queue in transaction code SMQ2. Select the queue and click the last button in the header toolbar. You will process the flow in debug. Remember to register the queue when this is no more necessary otherwise you will have a mess in the system.
3) if you create new customer in CRM system, this are automatically replicated in the backend system basing on the scenario set. No additional tables are created. All the changes applied in the CRM system will be replicated in the backend with the same process except the Bdoc that are really CRM specific.
Hope this help you.

Fabrizio

USE OF CRM MIDDLEWARE AND XI in SRM LANDSCAPE

Hello All,
Please Can anyone tell me for communicating between SRM and different systems within a landscape,how do we recognise whether to opt for XI or CRM middleware
(Of SRM)???
Please Help.
Thanks,
Disha.

Hy Disha,
The different communication methods from SRM are:
1 CRM Middleware
This is only used for Master Data replication (init) with SAP Backends, and for Product master for init and delta uploads.
You can define your own BDocs for your needs (non easy way)
2 RFC
This is used for R/3 backend document creation (Reservation, PR and PO) in classic and extended scenarios, and for several checks in the SC creation
3 ALE/IDOCs
This is used for Good receipt and Invoice creation in R/3 in Classic and Extended scenario
4 XI
It is used for SUS integration, CCM upload and publishing scenarios, and PO send scenarios.
Regards.
Vadim

Using SAP PI instead of CRM Middleware

Hi experts,
Is it recommend to use SAP PI instead of SAP CRM Middleware.
If yes how can I do that.
I have read in forum requests that it can be implemented by using iDOC instead of BDocs.
I need a technical guideline how data (eg. Business Partner Data) can be tranferred from CRM to other ERP System.
Thank you for help.
Greetings
Mario
Edited by: Mario Bauer on Jun 22, 2010 9:24 AM
Edited by: Mario Bauer on Jun 22, 2010 9:28 AM

Hi!
SAP PI itself is a middleware Product but very roboust and capable enough to integrate any system to any other system, either it is SAP or Non-SAP. And there are two ways to integrate other ERP System to SAP CRM using SAP PI.
1. SAP PI will receive the message from back end ERP system & convert it to the XML format. SAP CRM receives the message using the Middleware XIF adaptor and convert the incoming XML Messages in the BDocs and the BDocs upload the data in the SAP-CRM Data base.
2. SAP PI will receive the message from back end ERP system & convert it to the XML format. SAP CRM receives the message and using the Functional Module convert the data into the BDocs and the BDocs upload the data in the SAPCRM Data base. In thsi situation, you need an expert ABAP Consultant to write the accurate functional Module.
The data inside the SAP_CRM System always transported in the BDocs not in Idocs. It is the BDocs data containers which transport the data from CRM Middleware to CRM Database and CRM Database upto CRM Middleware.

Hello Ritvij,
Regarding middleware ,are you down loading plants? bacause down load object objects DNL_PLANT is obsolete.
Unusable middleware objects :
DNL_CUST_BASIS3
DNL_CUST_PROD0
DNL_CUST_PROD1
DNL_CUST_SRVMAS
and the master data objects
MATERIAL
SERVICE_MASTER..
Find composite note for middleware at 872533..
What is the leading system for Order creation?
