Director and SAP

Hi
Has anyone any experience in integrating Director and SAP
Cheers
Photman52

Hi Photman,
I can only add my speculation to this thread I'm afraid. the
company I work at is considering a purchase of an SAP system -
unfortunately one of the downsides of SAP (like SAGE) is that it
doesn't play nicely with other software. You may find it very
difficult, or indeed impossible, to integrate something you've
developed in Director with SAP.
SAP want you to buy their software and pay for upgrades "as
and when you need them". This is where they make their money! If
you can work with their API I salute you.
Out of interest, are you able/willing to talk about what part
you're looking to work with? I'm nosy, and you've intrigued me...

SAP NetWeaver and SAP ERP Central Component 6.0 installed or not,how to fin

Hello Friends,
I would like to know that in my system whether
<b> SAP NetWeaver and SAP ERP Central Component 6.0</b>
Installed or not?How to check whether these are installed or not?
and where can i Find in the system?
Regards
Preethi

Kinldy make clear cut query before you look for an answer to that!
To check for the WAS-J2EE Stack installation - kindly use the following link to access your WAS j22 Start page "http://hostname:5XX00" where XX will be the System No. for SAP System.
Incase if you want to find out that you have a EP installed: goto:-
"http://hostname:5XX00/irj"
For XI , you can go to "http://hostname:5XX00/rep"
Incase the links work properly the software component is installed.
PREREQUISITE for the above CHECKS:
1) The system number should be correct.
2) The Fully qualified domain name should be used for the hostname.
3) The Software components and the J2EE Stack should be operational.
(ON the SAP SERVER)On OS level --> you can Go and have a look for the following directories existence --->
1) usr/sap/SID/DV*.../j2ee,
2) usr/sap/SID/DV*.../SDM
This means that you have atleast the Java Stack installed on your SAP Server.
Next in the task manager(WINDOWS) / process level(UNIX) you can check if you have process "jlaunch process under the sidadm owner".
In SAP Frontend-GUI :
You can login and go to T-Code ST11 and check for the log files
dev_disp, dev_dispatcher, dev_server0, dev_jcontrol, dev_bootstrapID.......,
these file will give you info regarding the J2ee stack and its components....
Hope this helps you...

Prem

Link between 3rd party software and SAP

Our company uses a 3rd party software for its payroll processing. At the end of every 2 weeks, we receive an Excel file that the clerk sorts and uploads into SAP using LSMW.
The Director of Finance thinks that this process can be achieved much quicker/faster/more efficiently, and he wanted to know if we can directly establish a link between the 3rd party payroll software and SAP.
Any thoughts on how this can be established? Do I have to write a BAPI functional specification for this and work with the ABAP team?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
Through BAPI / BDC / Idoc you can achive this requirement.
Ex:
1 - Create Landing Table in R/3
2 - Pull Data from Leagacy to SAP Landing Table
3 - From Landing Table you can post to SAP

Error in BODS and SAP connectivity

Hi,
We are trying to fetch the data from SAP thru ETL tool BODS; while doing so we are facing the following issues :
1. While connecting to SAP RFCu2019s through BODS, we are getting the following error
u2018RFC CallReceive error <Function RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN : You do not have authorization for this functionu2026u2026> (BODI-1112339).
As per our understanding, this requires the privilege to execute the function RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN. ??
2. Also, we require to load the BODS functions(related to SAP) on SAP Server using CTS (Correction and Transfer System); as per help document given in technical manual of BODS. We are getting the error while importing the component in BODS as these functions are not available in SAP.Getting error like function module Z_AW_TABLE_IMPORT not found
We are following the instructions and we have the required files (R900XXX.SXX and K900XXX.SXX). But we do not find /usr/sap/trans/data and /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directories in SAP server.
How to achieve this in BODS ??
Also can you tell one thing that can we talk to SAP from BODS without importing the tables and metadata in BODS datastore ??
Urgent help required.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Experts..even i have the same requirement.But i am doing it wrt Master data.
There are two options:
Option - I: Your source data should give updated date and time(which is the case in my scenario) In the PSA you always load the Full data and in the start routine compare the data with the last update date and time and accordingly modify your data in teh target and then set the date and time to the last updated date and time.
Option - II: In the data service load job use another table called mirror table to and always compare the new data with the mirror table and send to BW only the changed records(Delta).
Btw i have an issue in loading hierarchy data to SAP BW.I have the same structure in the MSSQL but when executing the loas job it throws the following error :
Error while executing the following command: -Sd1 return code:75
Thanks!

Add users from several Active Directories in SAP BPC

Hello everybody,
Does anybody know if you can add users from several Active Directories in SAP BPC??
In affirmative case, how can you add several Active Directories in SAP BPC??
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Fernando

Hi,
We almost have same issue to add users from several Active Directories.
BPC server is in Domain A. We perform to add users from Domain B. Our trusted relation between AD is Domain B approve Domain A (unidirectional).
We cannot get one user which is able to browse both AD. So we install BPC with a user which has rights to browse Domain A and we use another user in COM+ component (OsoftUSerManage) which has right to browse Domain B.
But it is not working : we encounter an issue (access denied) in web administration by adding users from Domain B.
Any idea ?

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems

hi,
using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems,
then what is diff b/w ALE and EDI

Hello KALYAN KUMAR,
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
1.You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems.
2.ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
3.ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
1.You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor).
2. The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12).
3. This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message
I hope u understands the difference:)

How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS

Hi
I have read the article on SDN called "How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS", which is also the name of my posting.
The reason why I post this is that I've tried to follow the links in the PDF to get the file WebsphereEpSsoLib.zip but I get an error 403, which tells me that the file is not there.
Does anybody know where this file went or can somebody tell me an alternative place to get this file?
Jacob

Please open the associated whitepaper, and you can find the download link to the .ZIP file on page 4.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

Loading transaction data to CRM and SAP/R3 from legacy system

Where can I find information about expected timing to load orders from a legacy system to CRM and SAP R/3? Does anyone know how long it would take to do the update in CRM using RFC's and BAPI's and then load to SAP/R3 if the order had an average of 3.2 line items per order and there were 50.7 million orders? It is assumed we would run multiple loads concurrently. So I guess a better question is how long does it normally take to load one order with 3.2 line items onto CRM and also SAP R/3?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Qutubuddin,
Can you please let me know how you achieved moving data from non sap system to r3 using webdynpro java?
thanks

Reporting tools and SAP BW

Dear Sirs,
We have Business Objects BI 4.0 and SAP BW 7.3.
Actually we are using Web Intelligence and BEx Query to reporting.
We have not Business Layer (Universe) between BW and BO because BO it's not supported to create universe (unx) on BW. So we create document in WEBI using BEx Query.
We want to use Xcelsius (Dashboard Design) 2011 and I was thinking that we can use query from universe to connect with BW (new functionality in version 2011). Can we? Or maybe we should to connect to BW using "Connecttion to SAP BW"?
We want to use Explorer (on iPad and iPhone), but Explorer requires universe (unx).
Is not possible to create universe (unx, because unv is not supported via Explorer) based on SAP BW, is it true?
We should we do, when we want to use Explorer with SAP BW?
Do I understand connection between reporting tools and SAP BW:
Crystal Reports - can I use cubes or BEx queries
Xcelsius - using "Connection to SAP BW"
WEBI - BExqueries or universe (but only UNV - old version).
Explorer - in my opinion is not possible
Analysis for OLAP - drirect to cube in SAP BW
Could you please comment.

Hi
With the current version of the BI 4.0 SP2 BI Platform, one cannot create a universe (.UNX format) against BW using the OLAP connection. However you can create a universe (.UNX format) using the Relational connection (see OSS note: 1656905 - How to create UNX universe based on Business Warehourse InfoCubes). One limitation is the use of hierarchies with the relational connection.
Then you can create the Information spaces based on the universe (.UNX format) that the Explorer can use.
BO Reporting tools:
1. Crystal Reports for Enterprise = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) directly against the BW InfoCubes or Queries, if queries already exist in the BW system then you can leverage these directly (less time spent recreating the entire query in Crystal)
2. Xcelsius = you can use the BICS or Web Service or Universe to access the data
3. Web Intelligence = you can use the OLAP Connection (BICS)
4. Explorer = you can use a universe (.UNX format) via a Relational Connection
5. Analysis for OLAP = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) to either a query or InfoCube.
It is hoped that in Feature Pack 3 which will be released later this year, that missing functionalities will be delivered for BI 4.0.
Regards
Derek

Re: Crystal Report and SAP BW Query with Variable

Crystal Report 2008 V1 SP3 and SAP Integration Kits 3.1 SP3 installed on my client machine.
I can open SAP BW Query in Crystal Report. However, in the Field Explorer >Database Fields, I dont see to be able to expan the Query and see it Key Figure/Characteristic.
I noticed this happen only if we have Variable defined in the Charactics.
If the characteristic has no variable, then I can expand the Query under Database Fields.
Do you have this problem?

Yes, once I have imported the new SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 transports into BW system, I can now expand the it.
I can now see the Variable in Crystal Report.
Thanks!
