Defining substitutes in a multi SAP component system landscape

Hi All,
I need some help trying to understand and figure out how to best proceed with a recommendation/solution for defining workflow substitutes in a new SAP installation that includes the following components: Netweaver 2004S, EP6, SRM5 and ERP 2005.
The client is planning to rollout various ESS, MSS, ERP and SRM workflows throughout the organization and use the UWL for all workflow scenarios.
Being new to the portal and UWL, I been reading and trying different things with respect to maintaining substitutes in the ERP and SRM systems as well as the UWL.
Ive figured out that the UWL substitute processing is not linked to the ERP and SRM functionality. This means that anyone responsible for approvals will need to log into the ERP system and define the required personal substitutes in the Workflow Inbox and then repeat the same process in the SRM Approval tab.
If the above is the only way to define substitutes, then the process will not be met with open arms for all sorts of reasons.
As Im new to these new SAP components, am I missing something? There is a simple solution to defining substitutes in this type of a system landscape or do you need to build something to provide the required/desired single entry point for both systems.
Also, what do the UWL substitutes provide?
Regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Yes the UWL does create substitutes across all connected SAP systems **PROVIDED**:
1. Each system has all the function modules prefixed SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUT...
2. There is a mapping between the portal user and a user id in each of the systems
3. The user has the relevant authority (auth object S_WF_SUBST) to create/maintain/display substitutes in each of the systems
If you have the SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUT... function modules in some systems but not others you should be able to copy them (you'll need some SSCR keys of course to copy them under SAP standard names) and everything should be fine. I've done this before to a 6.20 NetWeaver system and it worked fine.
If its still not working you need to check the support pack notes for EP6 - for instance you do need to be on at least EP6 SP14 patch 2 for all substitution features to work.

Jocelyn

SAP Three-System Landscape

Hi All,
I have a very basic doubt - I have read umpteen times that the SAP recommendation is to use a 3-system landscape for performance reasons. One system for the developement, one for quality assurance and one for the production environment.
However, I want more clarity on what a 'system' is. Does it mean I purchase 3 mySAP ERP licenses for my implementation and then implement DEV, QAS and PRD in each of them? But would that not multiple my costs 3 times if I decide to move from legacy system to an SAP implementation?
Thanks and Regards,
Vidya.

Srividya D. wrote:>
> Yes, all clients in a single SAP software get affected if any client-independent customizing. So do you mean by having different hardware systems for the different logical systems (DEV, QAS, PRD) client-independent customizing in one client in one hardware system does not affect another client in another hardware system? But I don't quite understand this since the concept of a client is per SAP system and not hardware system.
Yes. exactly if the system are different then any config/changes will not going to affect another system until unless you move any transport. Client is a buisness unit to identify the Buisness data, It is system specific.
> By an instance if you mean an SAP Application Server, though there are multiple application servers on multiple hardware systems, the underlying Repository (nothing but database) and client-independent data should still be common right? Or do you mean that if I implement 3 instances of the SAP ERP system over 3 hardware systems, each instance or application server then has its own client space which do not interfere with the clients in the other hardware system?
I mean to say you required 3 Hardware, for 3 Database, and 3 SAP instance, 1:1 concept. everything will be seperate and will not interfare with any other system.

Error while configuring TMS in SAP (3 system Landscape)

Hi,
We need to replace our quality server with a new one.While configuring TMS,with the new replacement of our quality server,we are facing an error.
Our development server is the domain controller and we have added our new QA and then deleted the old system and previous TMS configuration.But after deleting the configuration in our Production also,we get an error while adding it in the landscape.
Password should contain atleast 2 numericals(0-9) for TMSADM.We changed and tried but of no use.
Our password is welcome@01 which goes as per the password exception table.
Can anyone help us in resolving this issue.Do we need to change the parameters and restart the system?Or is there any resolution like unlocking any table etc.
Please help.Early response would be of great help as our landscape is affected.
Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi Sudheer,
Make sure the client id open
in client other than 000 open table TMSCROUTE using SE11 and create following entry.
sysname = ,ADMPWD
Routestring=USER
save the entry then try to configure STMS in 000.
Try to add the Entry in All 3 Systems.
Also Refer Note 1568362 - TMSADM password change

Connect of 2 SAP BW systems to one SAP Enterprise Portal

Hi!
I have 2 SAP BW systems that should be integrated into SAP Enterprise Portal.
I currently have already one SAP system entry "SAP_BW" within SAP EP.
Questions
Is it possible to define second entry for second SAP BW system in order to use 2 SAP BW systems with one SAP EP in parallel?
Where can I find appropriate documentation?
Thank you very much!
regards

Hi,
We have a pilot portal with BW DEV, QAS and PRD connected to it. So it is possible.
It may be more appropriate to post this in the portal forum to get expert advice.

Project landscape and system landscape

hi all
what is thifference between system landscape and project landscape??
anil

Hi Anil,
System landscape:
They system landscape basically is the set-up or arrangement of your SAP servers. Ideally, in an SAP environment, a three-system landscape exists. A three-system landscape consists of the Development Server-DEV, Quality Assurance Server-QAS and the Production Server-PROD. This kind of set-up is not primarily designed to serve as server clusters in case of system failure, the objective to enhance "configuration pipeline management".
A Typical SAP Three-System Landscape.
At this juncture, it is important to state that a test system - Sandbox can also exit separately. The essence of the sandbox is to test the configuration of the business processes of a company, especially at the inception of the project (before the Business Blue Print is signed). It can also serve as a practice environment, even after go-live.
Pipeline is the environment where the configuration in the development system is moved to the quality assurance system and finally to the production system. The whole idea is to ensure that the configuration of these systems is in sync at any point in time. Suffice to say that, configuration/changes are first made in the Development system, thoroughly tested in the Quality Assurance system before been loaded into the production (Live) system.
This approach throws up the transport management system concept. Transport management system is the coordination of the movement of objects and configuration changes from the development system to the Quality Assurance system and then to the Production system. At times, this sequence of movement is not possible, especially in cases where an SAP note mandates that changes be made directly on the production system.
In such rare cases, objectively confirm that the change transport cannot be performed. Very likely, your system must have been configured to "not modifiable" (a system locking strategy that enforces the three-system landscape change transport rule); unlock the system by changing the global setting option to "modifiable" using transaction SE03. After you have done that, effect the change(s) on the system. Immediately lock the system back by changing the global setting option to "not modifiable" using transaction SE03. Replicate the changes on the other system. Note that transaction SCC4 can also be used to lock the system so that client dependent and independent configuration changes are not carried out directly on the production system.
By and large, the SAP system landscape ensures that the integrity of data is enhanced via enforcing a controlled configuration changes effect on the target system - production.
Project landscape:
It's about the kind of soultion customer would be implementation in his project. Like CRM, SCM, ERP.
Reward points if it helpful.

Hi,
you can check few things prior proceeding:
Does your connector test after adding your backend system in portal works fine?
Did you define a system alias?
Make sure your SSO is working,
Also check your Jco detination webdynpro tab.

Defining System Landscape in Implementation Project

Hi
I want to ask about defining System Landscape of an implementation project in solution manager.
I have assigned the logical Component in Systems tab.
I want to ask about creating the IMG Project in Sstems Landscape tab,, Is it compulsory to create IMG project for the new Implementation Project??? Why we create IMG Project?? Is it compulsory??
Please guide
Regards

Hi,
Implementation Project u2013 A project to implement SAP solution as a part of regular implementation or a roll out. This is considered for single-site implementations. Predefined scenarios can be selected from template projects.
It is not compulsory to create these projects in solution manager that depends upon your implementation strategy.

SAP System Landscape Directory (SLD) Privileges

Hello everyone,
I'm not really sure if this is the correct place to start this discussion, but any help and support is really appreciated.
The question is as follows: is it possible to define object privileges in SLD such as Products, Software Component Versions, Technical Systems and Business System for example, to define which user can modify a Technical System? I assume there's is a way by role and groups on the UME to define privileges to display or modify objects in whole SLD, but I don't know if on a lower level this is possible.
thanks in advance for help and support.
Regards,
Julio Cesar

Hello Julio,
I am not sure if you can define certain UME actions for objects within the SLD. These objects are usually maintained by a SLD administrator. There is however a way to create a new UME role and assign new SLD action to it.
In your Web browser, enter the URL of the Identity Management using the following format:http://<host>:<port>/useradmin .
Create user groups and UME roles of your choice and assign each UME role to the appropriate user group(s) as well as to the UME action(s). You can use the predefined UME roles as a template so create your own UME roles (as descibed in the table above).
If you want to create a UME role for SLD content synchronization or for SLD administration, you need to assign the Destination_Service_Write_Permission UME action, which belongs to thetc~sec~destinations~service service, to your own UME role.
For more information about which UME actions there are available I suggest to use the following site:
Configuring SLD Security Roles - Security Guide for the SAP System Landscape Directory - SAP Library

SAP PS System Info

Hi,
I want some information on SAP PS System:-
1) What is the transaction in PS system to create a project template?
2) Is there any BAPI or FM which will provide me the list of PS project templates?
3) Is there any BAPI or FM which can be used to copy a PS project template?
4) What is the name of the database table where the PS project template names are stored?
Thanks in advance!!
Saurabh

Hi Sudhakar,
I have tried to answer your questions below:-
1) BAPI is precisely defined interface for process and data of a business application system whereas RFC is just a communication technology.
Simply put BAPIs are interfaces for Business Objects. Together with the Business Objects, BAPIs define and document the interface standard at the business level.
RFC is a communication technology, that use the Business Framework to access BAPIs.
At the technical level SAP provides an RFC to aceess the Business Object beng exposed through a BAPI.
Going further BAPIs can be used for both synchronous and asynchronous calls of an SAP component. If the call is synchronous, the BAPI is called as a remote function call (RFC). ALE inbound processing enables asynchronous communication with BAPIs.
So this emphasises gain that BAPI is an interface to business objects which can be accessed through an RFC which is just a communication technology.
2) Yes it is possible to create custom BAPI's for custom business repository (BOR) objects or even standard BOR objects but creating a BAPI is a huge effort which customers generally dont undertake.
Hope I was able to provide some insight to your questions.
Thanks & Regards,
Saurabh

With regards to your statemetn "SDN downloaded document says to Generate Webservice URL through ABAP" <- can you tell me more please? references/links/attachment?
As far as I am aware, that the type of web service required for integration it a 'normal' Netweaver Web app server web service.
There are limitations about the complexity of the WSDL - see Notes:

Set sap Component mandatory while creating the support desk message

Hi,
When create the support desk message from any application sysytem, the sap component get selected automatically but when we create the suppport desk message from the Easy Access the component wiil be blank, so some user create the support message without giving the component. So we want to make the component as mandatory while createing the support desk message from application system and also set mandatory when we create support message in solman.can anybody help me in setting component mandatory.

Dear Charan,
The logic of setting the SAP Component mandatory is explained in the note 640532.
Kindly use the note to resolve the purpose.
Hope this solution helps.

Can we Set the Default SAP Component while Creating Support Message

Hi Friends,
I Have got requirement like, when we create the support desk message from any application system by default the sap component should get selected which we have determined in Solman.Our Business secnario is too complex user give create the support message without giving the Sap Component or they give wrong sap Component, so we want to set the sap component get selected by default while creating the support desk message, guide me in solving this issue.
Regards
Charan

I think your logic is reversed. I think it's better to let users create messages from the application areas from which they are having the problem. Based on the standard SAP component which defaults into the component field, the ticket can be routed to one of your 20 teams. This is where the agent detemination rule for support team can be configured. There are a number of message on the forum regarding support team configuration. This way, if your 20 teams can't solve the problem (for example SAP defect) then the message can be forwarded directly to SAP using the correct component. Good luck.

Error while updatig SAP Component Repository in SLD

We are getting the following error while updatig SAP Component
Repository in SLD:
"The import history of the target namespace could not be determined".
We are in the middle of updating SAP CR in SLD from version 2.0 to
version 3.0.
Before updating CR this morning, our 'model version' was 1.4.31 and
CR Content Version (sld/active):No versioned CR imports detected was
defined.
I imported the Model version 1.5.20 using 'cimsap1418_0-10003379.zip'
and while importing the delta 'CRDELTA1418_0-10003379.zip', we are
getting the above mentioned error.
Pls help us to resolve this problem as we took the shutdown time from
business to update the CR in XPD server.
Thanks
Amar

To upgrade from SAP MASTER DATA FOR SLD 2.0 to SAP CR CONTENT UP TO 2007 (technical version is 3.0), you are required to perform the following steps:
1. Import the last delta from 2.0. This comprises model 1.5.20 (cimsap1418_...zip) and the content delta (CRDelta1418_...zip). Before you import the new model, check the parameter RejectUnsupportedCIMQualifiers and the existing model version. Proceed according to Note 907897.
In 6.40 and 7. 0 Support Package 0 - Support Package 9, the import of the model (file cimsap....zip) takes 30-60 minutes. As of Release 7.0 Support Package 10, the import requires less than 1 minute.
2. You can obtain the next update from SAP CR CONTENT UP TO 2007 (3.0).
