Document management in CRM mobile

Hi
We are evaluating options to provide most updated product documentation to field sales and service technicians. The goal is to let users have access to sales and service documents offline. I remember back in CRM 4.0 days SAP provides an addon product called backweb /infocenter. It will provide offline content through MSA or MSV applications. That is no longer supported in CRM 5.0 and CRM 2007. Has anyone implemented alternative solution to backweb?
Thanks
Ming

Hi Ming,
Backweb integration with CRM 5.0 is disabled. It was a
limitation for .5.0
Unfortunately there is no alternative to replace backweb.
Infocenter backweb is also not supported with CRM 2007.

Document Management in Sharepoint and CRM

How to create a copy of document that is uploaded in CRM to sharepoint?
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334768.aspx
This describes the integration scenarios where you can offload document management to SharePoint, thus reducing the size of the CRM database.
You'll want to investigate the CRM List Component as well:

thanks in advance.

Hi Ciro,
I agree with Michael, well that's from my experience.
What you need to do in CRM download Customizing Object
(tcode R3AC3) and download Business Object for
MATERIAL (tcode R3AC1). To start download use R3AS.
If you set the range of material you need to download
into CRM (in Business Object MATERIAL), you don't need
to run this steps everytime. It will happend automatically
I am not saying that downloading product from R/3 without
any problem. At first time, you will face that some
object need to be downloaded properly before you can
download Material (first download customizing object).
And you need to prepare Org Model in CRM also in order
to use these products in CRM transaction later.
These are basic steps need to be done (once) before
you can proceed to use it in any CRM document/transaction.
Cheers,
Gun.

Document Migration from CRM to SAP Content Server

We are going live with SAP CRM 7.0 next week. CRM team configured some of applications like ITSM, Change Request Management and Transport Request database also as part of implementation.
We got last minute requirement that CRM team would like to go-live with current configuration with current configuration and eventually they would like to migrate all documents to Content server.
We do not have content server in place yet and planning to implement sometime in Feb. I am trying to explore ways how we can export existing documents created in CRM and migrate to Content server and link it.
Any ideas/Suggestions?
Thanks,
Miral.

In which repository are the documents currently stored in CRM? Please see if Note 688241 on 'Relocating large SAP Content Server Repositories' could be of any assistance to you.

How to create switch documents in SAP CRM?

Hi,
I'm trying to create switch documents in SAP CRM. I'm using method CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG=>CREATE_SWITCH_MESSAGE but one of the parameters is CONTEXT...
Someone knows how this parameter should be filled?
Thanks,
André

Hi Andre,
the class CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG is used by the classes of the utilities process framework to create a switch doc in the context of a process. The context parameter is a reference to the process context. The class CL_CRM_IU_PR_CNTR_START, for example, uses CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG in the ON_POD_CHANGED method to create a switch doc.
While it is possible to set up a process context in a custom program the real question is what are you trying to achieve? Maybe it is easier to solve your requirement in the context of the process framework that to start from scratch.
Are you aware of the concepts underlying the utilities process framework? If not have a look at the following documents:
Process Framework in Contract Management - SAP CRM for Utlilities

Route Optimization in CRM Mobile

Hello,
Is anybody familiar with the route optimization in CRM Mobile? According to the documentation a PTV eServers have to be installed. What is a PTV eServer? How do you install it, and what does it cost?
In activity management there is a button called Corridor Search. When I click on it I get an error stating that an u2018Error during corridor searchu2019 Context: ACTOPTIMIZE.
I assume that this button is somehow related to the route optimization. Does anybody know more precisely what it covers, and how to activate this functionality?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards
Andy Cooper

Hi Andy
Once upon a long time ago I had to deal a bit with PTV: They are located in Germany, and provide route optimization SW: www.ptv.de. The best would be to access their website and ask the information there, they are usually pretty friendly.

Difference between SAP MI and CRM Mobile Sales

hi experts,
we need to understand difference between SAP MI and CRM mobiles sales solutions. what are SAP's recommendations: where to use MI and where to use Mobile sales.
can some of you explain the pros and cons of each solution or let me know the place where i get such info.
thanks in advance.
RH

SAP MI apps are aimed at PDAs while CRM Mobile Sales is aimed (and can only work with) at laptops.
PDA solutions are mostly used by sales agents while the laptop solution is more suitable to account managers. The laptop has much more information available that includes:
- Marketing planning and execution capabilities
- Account Planning
- BW Reporting
Mobile Sales for PDAs has more basic functionalities like order & activity management and business partner data maintenance (which are also included in the laptop version).

CRM Mobile Client Installation on 64 Bit Hardware/64 Bit OS..

I have a question related to Mobile Client components installation.
1) When we were trying to insall the communication station at our client system which are on 64 bit OS on Xeon 64 bit Hardware, we were facing a lot of issues in connecting to the CRM Server,,,When checked for the SAP note we found through one as 64 bit Xeon processor is not supported for the installation of Communication Station,, We tried installing the Comm Station in our local landsacpe and went on successfully done...
Now my question is : Does VMWare/64 bit Hardware supports the Mobile Client Components installation or not?
2) We are facing a prob when trying to install the Mobile Development Workstation: The issue is the installation option of selecting the MDW is greyed out and at the bottom it says that pre-requisites should be fulfilled wherein we have taken enough care in meeting them...
Please let us know how to proceed with the installation...
Please do send the documents if any on CRM Mobile Client Components..as we need to deliver to the client on priority basis...
Thanks in Advance:
Raghunandan

Hi Raghunandan,
In reply to your first query regarding supportability of Supportability of Commstation on Intel xeon 64 Bit processor.
This is not supported by SAP. Refer to Note 1131463.
There were some compatibility issues with this last year. Decision was it will not be supported.
For the MDW install problem, this only occurs when the prerequisites are not correct. Check through the install guide again. Check there are no conflicting versions of JRE for example. Probably best to install this on a clean machine.

Gervase

CRM 2007 with CRM Mobile Infrastructure

We are building a Prototype (Non Production) CRM 2007 with CRM Mobile Infrastructure as an internal project.
Question 1: I wanted to ask, as it is stated that Commstation cannot run on64 Bit Hardware/64 Bit OS hardware and it is not supported by SAP. I was checking the CRM Mobile Installation Guide
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700002090432006E/
and wanted to confirm if there is a possibility of us using one server instance to install the Mobile Repository Server, Mobile Development Workstation, Communication Station (CommStation) all
in one box??
Q2: Secondly, if we were only using mobile infrastructure for CRM scenarios Field Account and Contact Management, Field OpportunityManagement,
and possibly Quotation Management (not the Order Management) will we still need to install a Workgroup Server/Workgroup Client??
Is it also possible to install Mobile Repository Server, Mobile Development Workstation, Communication Station (CommStation) on the actual CRM 2007 server we currently have??
Q3: Can we realize the CRM Mobile scenarios with just three servers?
1 CRM 2007 Server (existing server already deployed with CRM 2007)
1 SAP CRM Mobile Server
1 CommStation Server
Q4: Can we realize these CRM Mobile scenarios Field Account and Contact Management, Field OpportunityManagement, and possibly Quotation Management (not the Order Management), by simply installing Usage Type MI on our CRM 2007 (existing) Server?
Thanks.
James

Hi James,
It is possible to install Comm Station\Repository and MDW on the one machine.
The repository server contains only the db and some tools
But not recommended by SAP.
The prerequisites are that the Development Workstation is installed on a separate machine from teh repository server.
But as you can see in the installation guide, it is possible to install a local repository.
However its recommended to have one central repository and have a dev workstation connect to it.
If you have several developers accessing the same central machine, it would cause problems. Its recommended to have the MAS application
installed on their local machine connecting to the repository.
I would also keep the mobile scenario separate from CRM Online. As you have stated below, the 3 servers would be enough.
You dont need to have the Workgroup for the CRM scenarios you have mentioned.
Rgds, Gervase
