Customer Implementation

Hi all,
Is anyone doing a customer implementation of CE?
Is a stable full release available with Portal(the preview version has an application server only). If it is not available when SAP will be releasing it?(If anyone can provide a roadmap it will be really helpful)
Are features like netweaver voice available with the current version?
No guesses please....

Hi
Today, integration complexity has no boundaries. Many applications and components in customer system landscapes are directly connected point-to-point, with all integration capabilities hardwired into the application components and individual mapping programs.
A common complex IT landscape at a customer site is sort of spider web and is the representative of todays application integration challenge. What you see is a wildly grown integration landscape with different application systems and multiple individual connections between different interfaces. Connecting these applications does not only lead to a high complexity in managing and maintaining there is also a lot of cost associated with it.
These systems have been integrated over time using whatever integration technology or middleware was available. The integration knowledge is hidden within the different applications or within the used middleware tools and the interface descriptions.

Financial Accountig missing in SAP Customizing Implementation Guide

Hi
After upgrading SAP ERP 2004 to SP-Stack 17, the entry "Financial Accounting" is missing in SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (Transaction SPRO).
Any ideas?

A Customer Implementation cannot be migrated into a SAP implementation

Hi all,
I am writing badi implementation to add a field in the customer master transaction screen(xd03). when i try to activate the badi implementation, it is giving a messge in the a information window saying that "<b> A Customer Implementation cannot be migrated into a SAP implementation</b>" Can anybody suggest what exactly is that? How to resolve it? and the BADI implementation is not activated.
Please suggest me.
Thanks inadvance.kp

JTree custom implementation

Hi All,
I have application, which eats all the memory, when I load big structure in JTree.
So I have modified following function
DefaultTreeMutableNode {
public void insert(MutableTreeNode newChild, int childIndex) {
          children = new Vector();
As follow:
DefaultTreeMutableNode {
public void insert(MutableTreeNode newChild, int childIndex) {
          children = new ArrayList(1);
As my jTree usually has single nodes. And Default constructor of Vector() creates array of 10 child nodes, for each node.
But still it uses the same memory ???
Is there any way to reduce memory usage by JTree nodes, so it can handle big strucutre.
Is there any custom implemenation is avaliable.
Thank you for your time.

I guess ur application is a perfect candidate for a MVC implementation. In the tree there are 2 ways to do that. u can either write ur own TreeModel or u can write ur ur own TreeNode. I can help u write either of the two.
I can give u working examples from my application in each of them. U can also make the creation of the child nodes dyanamic and on a "on-demand-basis", by creating them only on the expansion of the parent nodes, as mentioned above.
The first way to do that is to override the implementation of the DefaultTreeModel class:
Plz find below an implementaion of the same:
public class GrpModuleTreeModel extends DefaultTreeModel
     TerminationPointsModel mModel = null;
     TreePanel mTreePanel;
     GrpModuleTreeModel(TerminationPointsModel model,TreePanel treePanel)
          super(null);
          mModel = model;
          mTreePanel=treePanel;
     public int getIndexOfChild(Object parent, Object child)
          if (parent.equals(mTreePanel.mParent.getParentFrame().getNEName()))
               ArrayList rackList = new ArrayList(mModel.getRacks());
               return rackList.indexOf(child);
          if (parent instanceof Rack)
//               return mModel.getSubracks(parent).size();
               ArrayList subrackList = new ArrayList(((Rack)parent).getSubracks());
               return subrackList.indexOf(child);
          if (parent instanceof Subrack)
//               return mModel.getModules(parent).size();
               ArrayList moduleList = new ArrayList(((Subrack)parent).getModules());
               return moduleList.indexOf(child);

Issue w.r.t custom implementation of iterator

We are facing some issue w.r.t valuechange events of some tags like inputfile,selectbooleancheckbox...
In our application, We have used a panel tabbed component, the left side has a tree which has some link nodes and on the right we have tabs opened based on the tree node link pressed.. The problem is, we were using the iterator ADF component to iterate through the opened tabs, it was not working as expected and used to throw up some Classcastexception ( UIXCollection ) when we moved across tabs. We found that there is also a bug around that in trinidad forums. Hence we extended the iterator ( i.e, had our own implementation ) to show up the tabs on the UI.We are using a dynamic region to bound the taskflows created. In the jsff pages we are using the tags like inputfile,selectbooleancheckbox. which inturn calls the valuechangeevent methods in their respective beans.
Now after moving to this new approach of tab generation. We are unable to use the valuechange functionality. i.e, the value change event method is not being invoked at all. can anyone please help??

Hi,
you implemented your own iterator so how would we know what this is doing and how you implemented it? Did you file a bug against ADF Faces to have development fixing the iterator issue? If not how and with which release can the defect be reproduced ?

How to implement result states in custom web dynpro components

Hi all,
My callable objects are custom implemented -web dynpro Componenets
How am i to implement the result states in them so that i can use them to take logical decisions.?
There is decision dialog component in Process Control Callable Object. It has Exit states. I need my component also to have exit states like that
Help me to implement this.
Points assured for help

Hi Shobhendra,
You can define the result states of your custom Web Dynpro callable object like this in the getDescription() method:
//add success result state
IGPCOResultStateInfo success = technicalDescription.addResultState("Success");
success.setDescriptionKey("Success");
//add failure result state
IGPCOResultStateInfo failure = technicalDescription.addResultState("Failed");
failure.setDescriptionKey("Failure");
And in the custom comelete() method (which will be called at the end of the execution of the WDP comp from GP) you can set the actual resultstate at runtime:
executionContext.setResultState("Success");
or
executionContext.setResultState("Failed");
The result states defined in the WDP callable object will appear in the the GP design time and you can set target for each result state.
For more info on how to implement the WDP callable object check the doc:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50d74ada-0c01-0010-07a8-8c118d408e59">Implementating Web Dynpro callable Object</a>

Unkown length in custom CharSequence implementation

I'm trying to write a custom implementation of the CharSequence interface for use with the Regular Expression package java.util.regex. This implementation adapts a generic Reader object to the CharSequence interface, so I can read directly from the Reader and do reg exp matching.
However, the CharSequence interface defines the public int length() method and there is no sensible value to return in my implementation, since I have no reasonable way of knowing how many characters a given Reader may contain.
For efficiency reasons, I don't want to read the entire contents of the Reader into a StringBuffer (Reader could be backed by a 4MB file). I just want the reg exp matcher to read a ways into the Reader, then stop.
Is there a way to get around this? This seems like a great deficiency in the CharSequence interface, assuming the length of the sequence should ALWAYS be known.
Thanks,
Zach Cox
[email protected]

If you do not know the length a CharacterItterator
implementation is perhaps more suited than
CharSequence?Which CharacterIterator? java.text.CharacterIterator isn't appropriate for reg exp. org.apache.regexp.CharacterIterator is great - its public boolean isEnd(int pos) method is good because the length of the character sequence isn't required to be known ahead of time.
However, this requires using the Jakarta RegExp package when I'd much rather use JDK 1.4.1 classes and not have to ship another jar with my distribution.
The CharSequence method public int length() may offer the reg exp matching algorithm some efficiency in that in knows how many chars it has to process, but IMHO they should have built in support for unknown sequence lengths (i.e. return -1 if you don't know the length).

CUSTOM FIELDS CAN'T CHANGE INTO IMPLEMENTATION BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE BADI

Hello everyone.
I have a custom implementation about BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE Badi into TCODE SE18
Signature about this method offers naturally possibility of changing values of table CT_BE_ITEMS
I put some code attempts, but custom field ZZINFNR never get new value. Only change by Portal interaction of end user, in fact any field can't get news value in whatever form I try to change into CONTRARCT_INTERFACE_FILL method.
I appreciated a lot any suggest about this issue, but in my mind I have present that any custom field can change if signature is type changing or at least export.
Thanks again.

Hi All,
First thanks all for your help and sorry for the delay.
Here are some precisions:
     - RFC Agent is correctly connected to SAP BW systems.
     - Basic ABAP programs (such as RSUSR000) are successfully executed in BW Systems
     - The SAP BI version is 7.0
     - XBP 2 is used
I was told to do some user configuration in SAP in order to make the process chain run via SCPS: there is a part in the help of redwood explorer saying some specific instructions must be applied in SAP BI:
The quote :
"To check or set the SAP BW user for background processes:
Go to Administration > Settings > Customizing (transaction SPRO).
Click on SAP Reference Img (German: BIW).
Expand the tree to find BW Customizing Implementation Guide > Business Information Warehouse > Automated Processes > Create User for Background Processes. (German: BIW > Automatisierte Prozesse > Benutzer fuer Hintergrund anlegen.)
Click on the hourglass (Maintain Activity) for that row.
Fill in the new username, for instance: BWALEREMOTE."
Issue is now that these exact mentionned items and menu do not exist (?) or at least were not found in our SAP BW systems by our SAP Administrator. The help file do not mentioned the version of SAP BI. Is there a compatibility issue ? I mean we have for instance a defined user ALEREMOTE but do not know if it has the same authorizations than the mentioned BWALEREMOTE.
Have someone an idea of the problem encountered ?

I m not getting why system showing this type of error, should i need to configure new customer code sumwhere in IMG if yes please let me know.
Lokking forward for your quick response on the same.

Parul Deshwal

Hi Parul Deshwal,
- The number range is created in XDN1.
- The number range is assigned to the account group "Stock Transfer - Depot" in SAP Customizing Implementation Guide>Financial Accounting>Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>Customer Accounts>Master Data>Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data>Assign Number Ranges to Customer Account Groups
Remember - If you are entering an external number it generally means the number is created in an external system and replicated to your system.
Help - Check what external number was used last by doing SE16 on table KNA1 and use the account group "Stock Transfer - Depot" as a selection parameter.

HR ABAP Custom Authorization Check

Hi all,
We know that Implicit authorization check is carried out. The system determines whether the user has the authorizations required for the organizational features of the employees selected with
GET PERNR.
I have a question, if we create a custom authorization then, whether this custom authorization is checked or not.
Thanks in Advance.

There is no difference in the coding of the check, which as RJ has stated needs to be somewhere at the correct coding location... otherwise it is going no where.
Some special differences are:
- The object class of the custom object in SU21 => Authorization objects in HR cannot be deactived context specifically in SU24. You can create custom objects within SAP classes.
- Depending on the transport type of your system, you will have to maintain transaction SU24 with a check indicator for the object - so make in known that the transaction has the capability to check the object. This does not affect "customer" systems, but is still a very good practice for the same reason that SAP forces it in their own development systems.
- Additional object checks in SE93 (which are typically "plausibility" checks) are not subject to this restraint. The check is always there, and your ability to bypass it is limited if you check the tcode authority of the caller at initialization of the (called) coding context. CALL TRANSACTION will skip this check, unless the called transaction is sy-tcode already (as it is in variant transactions... which urban legends claim to be secured to use for CALL TRANSACTION).
This concept is to a large extent influenced by SAP's own development guidelines and "settings" - but it is advisable to understand them and the intended authorization concept - to be able to create consistent customer implementations of SAP products.
Of course there are exceptions to the rules... but they generally cause problems and sooner or later need to be corrected as well when the auditors get hold of them....
Cheers,
Julius

Third party SSO with a custom login module

Hello everyone,
I've found a few posts on the forum with questions similar to mine, but none have been answered. I'm using a 3rd party authentication product along with a custom implementation of the AbstractLoginModule interface.
The setup is standard: A 3rd party agent is installed on a reverse proxy web server to SAP. The agent is configured to protect SAP resources, and it handles the login screens and authentication. Once the user has been authenticated, the AbstractLoginModule implementation kicks in, decrypts and validates an SSO token, retrieves the username from it and creates an SAP Principal.
The login ticket template is configured as follows:
1. EvaluateTicketLoginModule   SUFFICIENT
                    2. MyLoginModule                      REQUISITE
                    3. CreateTicketLoginModule       OPTIONAL
One of the integration's key requirements is that direct interaction with standard SAP authentication must be avoided. More specifically, the user should never need to enter an SAP password. I'm only seeing two problems, both of which violate this requirement.
The first is in cases where there is no existing SAP user that matches the authenticated user. In this case, the third party token and SAP Principal are created, the abort method is called, and the user is redirected to the SAP login page.   I need to either bring to user back to the third party login page or to a custom error page~.
The second problem occurs when an SAP password change is required. Again in this case, an SAP form is displayed after the module has created the Principal (although once the user changes the SAP password, all's well). If I were to disable mandatory password changes, would this apply to fat client access as well? If so, then it's not a viable option.
The general idea in both instances is that the SAP I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks
~ Since the SSO token applies to applications outside of SAP, I may add a login module parameter to make this a configurable choice. (I.e. allow the administrator to decide whether to inform the user that SAP authentication failed while preserving the SSO token, or to destroy the token and force re-authentication). However, if there is a way to configure the "bad credentials" URL outside of the module's code/parameters, it may be better to place the choice there.

Hi Julius,
Thank you for the quick response - and on a Sunday, no less!
I have considered verifying that the user existed in SAP before creating the Principal. One might argue that that would be the common sense thing to do. The reason I've held off is that the error should be so rare that it may not justify the overhead. There's a requirement to have a one-to-one username mapping between SAP and the authentication application. It would be more efficient to assume that this requirement has been met and to handle the Exception when it hasn't been. Of course, that doesn't mean that it's the right way to go.
+_Julius Bussche wrote:_+
For the first concern, if they can access the logon page directly (anyway) you could disable it as you do not want any password based logons (right?) and redirect it to your external page or an error page.
Yes, this is what I'm hoping to do, but I'm not sure how to do it. Here are some comments and questions about this:
1. What's involved in disabling the login page? I would think you'd need to replace it with something else rather than just switch it off.   Could I limit this change to the login ticket template so that other templates (basic authentication, for example) are still available?
2. Keep in mind that users will never get past the "real" login page unless they have been authenticated. This complicates matters because we're dealing with a scenario in which the user has already been authenticated but doesn't exist in SAP. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense to go back to either login page.
3. What's involved in redirecting to an external page? Is this an explicit redirect in the module code, or can it be decoupled from the module? It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to avoid mandatory module parameters for relative paths to error pages.
I think the question I'm after is: "Can I simply change an SAP login URL parameter to point to a custom error page, and allow everything to work as it does now (where SAP handles the redirect)". If so, could I limit the scope of the change to the login ticket template? What would be even better is if I could configure SAP's response to this error. Somewhere, it's currently configured to display the login page. Ideally, I'd be able to configure it to display myErrorPage, and then set myErrorPage to the appropriate URL.
+_Julius Bussche wrote:_+
For the second concern, I assume that there are no valid passwords involved here which might have expired, so as long as the user does not have the option to activate a password again and anyway cannot logon via password as the option is not presented... then you should be fine here as well with a forward proxy. Not sure which Java APIs are offered here, but you could check this together with the existence check and react to both prior to accessing SAP "from the outside".
The problem here is that the SAP passwords are needed outside of the integration. It's true that whether an SAP password has expired is irrelevant to the integration. However, this is a Web-based integration; SAP passwords must still be available to users who have access to other clients. With this in mind, could I create a user password policy that disables password expiration and automatic password change, but only apply it to Web client access? If not, do you know how I might override SAPu2019s behavior?
Once again, thank you for taking your time to help me out. I am very grateful.

Using a Trading Partner Directory Implementation for Companies

Hello experts,
I am looking into configuring delegate useradmin using companies.
The UME approach requires a engine reboot and somhow doesnt fit our requirements.
The second approach - "Trading partner directory implementation" seems feasible.
To implement this do I need to have any additional Bussiness package or additional installation for my portal? The document does state that this approach is only available with SAP supplier relationship management. What does this mean??
thanks,
Vineeth

Hello Peng Ronan,
Did you have any success with your Trading Partner Directory?
Our project includes ECC, CRM 5.1, SRM6.0 and Portal7.0. We have this CRM scenario where a customer (manager) logs on and approves one of his employees, already self-registered, as a customer Portal user. UME seems to support that scenario, but it can only retrieve company information from a SRM backend system using a custom implementation of the Trading Partner Directory interface. In our case it is a CRM scenario and CRM Business Partners are not replicated on SRM.
What is that SRM Trading Partner Directory interface and how much effort is involved in this custom implementation?
Does the portal need to restart for new Companies to be added?
Is this only for EBP scenario?
Is there a better way to update the list of companies in UME from a list of CRM Business Partner?
Thanks

ABAP code for custom OLAP variables

Hi experts,
We have a custom variant set as customer exit that I have just added to an infopackge for the data selection of 0FISCYEAR infoobject via 7-OLAP Variant. When I click on the magnifying glass under the "details for Type" column, the "Use Variable of OLAP Processor" window appears showing the OLAP Variable and the fiscal year variant. When you hit F6 (check) it should process the variant and return data for the ranges. With this variant we are using there is not data being returned (using the SAP exit variants data is returned).
I have gone through the forums and have seen people citing the function module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 as this is the user exit which houses such abap code. I have seen the variant inside this module and the code itself, but why is it in the infopackage when I click on check (F6) no data is returned? I am getting the feeling this abap code is only executed for reporting. In this case I want the infopackage to select certain data from R/3 (via the use of OLAP variable with custom code) during the load to the ODS.

Hi Mark,
If you created the custom fiscal year variant as a customer exit type, I doubt that it'll work.
Variant is an auxiliary time characteristic. You cannot create it. You can only add new char values:
BW Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO tcode) -> Business Information Warehouse -> General BW Settings -> Maintain fiscal year variant.
Though, maybe I misunderstood your requirements.
Best regards,
Eugene
