Duet Enterprise for cloud.

Hi All,
I want to know your views on the possibility of using Duet Enterprise for cloud based scenarios and specific comments on the following scenarios:
1. All systems viz. SharePoint, SCL and SAP backend are on cloud.
2. SharPoint and SCL are on cloud and the SAP backend in premise.
3. SharePoint is in cloud and SCL and SAP backend are on premise.
Cloud over hear means a public cloud. Please let me know what could be the complexities or road block sin each of these scenarios in your opinion.
Hoping for some constructive discussion on this topic, since these scenarios are catching a lot of eyes these says.
Regards,
Avishek.

Hi Avishek,
Update:
The november update of SharePoint Online (SPO) includes the earlier announced BCS support; see [Whatu2019s New in SharePoint Online: November 2011 Update|http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blog/Pages/BlogPost.aspx?pID=1002&prod=SP&type=BL].
Via this it is now possible to connect to external data in SharePoint Online context; through WCF endpoints to the external repositories.
However, utilization of Duet Enterprise is not (yet) possible; due:
1) Duet Enterprise is an Add-On to both SharePoint and SAP installations; and this Add-On is not included within SharePoint Online.
2) Moreover; via Duet Enterprise you have a bi-directional connectivity between your SharePoint and your SAP landscape; it is required that both parties know how to 'reach' to another. This is something that I do not see forthcoming in any shared (multi-tenancy) cloud / SaaS proposition. It effectively requires to have a organization-dedicated Duet Enterprise configuration; which should be possible in the cloud, but then boils down to a multi-instance installation in which you outsource the hosting of YOUR SharePoint environment to a 'hosting organization'.
Note that SAP and Microsoft have included in the [Duet Enterprise Planned Roadmap|http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=cloud%20model%20duet%20enterprise&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CEkQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft-sapphire.com%2Fresources%2FDuet%2520Enterprise%2520FP1.pptx&ei=45_pTun3F8GdOrr_mKAI&usg=AFQjCNH2ZjQQIxOSkBIlexBVQ2F1Fn1yVw] the following:
"Plan to support additional Mobile and Cloud scenarios" for a Next Version (following FP1)
As any roadmap, the value of this statement for now is limited; no guarantees given that it will actually be achieved.
Best regards, William.

SharePoint 2013 and SAP connectivity / SAP Gateway for Microsoft and Duet Enterprise 2.0

Hello,
we are investigating the connection possibilities of SharePoint 2013 with SAP.
The basic scenario in our cases involves the transfer of documents and/or metadata from SharePoint to SAP possibly through a Workflow in SharePoint.
From my research the most promising official (no 3d-party) interfaces that can be used are the Duet Enterprise 2.0 and the SAP Gateway for Microsoft.
From my understanding both interfaces allow only the consumption of Data from SAP to SharePoint and not vice versa. Moreover the interoperability of documents seems not be supported. Are CRUD operations from a SharePoint native lists to SAP supported?
Can someone please clarify this topics?
I have found lots of documentation concerning the interfaces but not a clear answer to this questions.
Many thanks in advance!
Ioannis

Hi Ioannis,
It seems that there is no built in method to get data from SharePoint list in SAP.
As a workaround, we can export SharePoint list to excel and then use that spread sheet as a source data in SAP.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3467263
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3472110
As this issue is regarding to SAP, I recommend you to ask the question in the SAP:
http://scn.sap.com/welcome.
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to SAP.

DUET Enterprise vs BO BI Integration Option for Microsoft Sharepoint

I am struggling to find the right management overview to position DUET Enterprise vs BO BI Integration for Microsoft Sharepoint.
My high level definition of DUET Enterprise is to expose SAP Data and Processes into the Microsoft Sharepoint Environment (especially for non professional user = casual user).
Obviously these casual users need to see, to retrieve or to refresh some BW reports (knowing we are using or will use BO BI 4.0).
It seems DUET Enterprise does not support this scenario .... and we need to use another solution called : BO BI Integration Option for Sharepoint (detailed doc [here|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/400sp2_ioms_getstarted_en.pdf]).
I am confused (I can not picture it) why we need 2 different products (medium - long term).
Could you somebody explain :
1. to confirm we need currently these 2 products
2. why we will need 2 different products in the future ?
Thanks.

Hi Patrick,
I was also trying to find some information this topic for the last few days when I came across your thread. There has been a similar discussion earlier in [this SDN thread|Duet Enterprise vs BO Integration Option for Microsoft Sharepoint u2013 IOMS;.
After seeing the capabilities of IOMS, I can say these two products are very different. IOMS has different web parts to render BO/BW dashboards, reports ect. whereas Duet Enterprise is an integration platform for connecting various SAP systems (of type ABAP now), using which we can view/operate on any SAP object, integrate workflow and fetch SAP reports as document.
Duet Enterprise provides SSO and role based access to SAP data which seems to be missing in IOMS.
At this point it seems both these products have different capabilities with similarities in report publishing (Duet Enterprise can only publish reports from BI and other ABAP based system directly to SharePoint document library; not sure what IOMS does in this area).
I guess at this point if your requiremtn is to only provide a SharePoint based frontend to Bo/BI IOMS has to be used, however if you need to build applications with SAP data or around SAP processes Duet Enterprise has to be used.

Install or upgrade Gateway 2.0 for Duet Enterprise FP1

Hi,
We are checking the technical feasibility for upgrading to Duet Enterprise FP1 from Duet Enterprise 1.0 and followed the Guide from the learning maps for FP1 (Preparing the Environment for Duet Enterprise u2013 Feature Pack 1). However we are confused if we have to install Gateway 2.0 on the existing Duet NetWeaver 1.0 system or if there is an upgrade to Gateway available for existing Duet Enterprise 1.0 installations. Please clarify and validate the steps if you have completed the same successfully or are in expert in this area:
1. Install/Upgrade Gateway 2.0 on Duet Enterprise system (require clarification here)
2. Upgrade to IW_TNG 200 on the Duet Enterprise system
3. Import XI content in ESR
4. Complete set-up for FP1
Please clarify step 1 and comment on the sequence of the other steps.
Regards,
Avishek.

Hi Avishek,
The upgrade from Duet Enterprise 1.0 to Duet Enterprise FP1 is supported.
Your Duet Enterprise 1.0 system would have SWCs like IW_FND 100, IW_CNT 100 (This is collectively called as Gateway 0.5)and IW_TNG 100. Now the system can be upgraded to Gateway 2.0 and then upgrade IW_TNG from 100 to 200.
You can get more details about the upgrade from the "Upgrade Guide" in Service Market Place. You can access it from service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Business Suite Application -> Duet Enterprise -> Feature Pack1 of Duet Enterprise 1.0 -> Upgrade Guide.
Thanks,

Evaluation version for Duet Enterprise

Hi ,
i am looking for evaluation version for Duet Enterprise product , iam meanly microsoft oriented so i have problem in configure Duet Enterprise in SAP side is there any ready build VM which can help me in checking product

Hi Yomna,
Duet Enterprise is an add-on to both SharePoint 2010 and SAP NetWeaver 7.02; with additional SAP landscape behind that (e.g. SAP ERP, SAP HR, CRM, or so)
A simple VM with e.g. SharePoint and the Duet Enterprise add-on to SharePoint is thus insufficient; you can only evaluate Duet Enterprise if you also have a proper SAP landscape available.
Best regards, William.

Oracle VM and Oracle VM Template for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c M

Hello!
After installation of *"Oracle VM 3.1.1 Media Pack v1 for x86_64 (64 bit)"* to bare hardware
can I install Oracle VM Template for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Media Pack ?
Is it the wrong plan ?
What to do if I need to set VLAN №1 ? (according note of installer I have to choose number between 2 and 4094 )
Thanks and regards,

Yes, you can install Oracle VM Manager, create a server pool with the one parent Oracle VM server in it, and then deploy the Oracle VM template in the pool. Once EM VM is up and running, you can register the same Oracle VM Manager with EM, to manage the pool.
In general, it is not recommended that you use the OVM server backend directly. But for bootstrapping the EM environment, you can also try the following:
Download the OVM Template on the Oracle VM server. From the OVM server terminal itself you can do "xm create" to spin a new virtual machine using the Oracle VM teamplate. Once the VM comes up, VNC into the VM and configure the EM OMS and agent.

Can we use the ESR of XI 7.0 with the Microsoft SAP Duet Enterprise

Hi Experts,
I am working on the Microsoft and SAP product DUET enterprise and we are going to use ESR of XI netweaver for defining the web service structures.
In demo we have used it with PI 7.1 where we have the concept of Service Interface with multiple operations.
But we have PI 7.0 in the landscape which has Message Interface instead of service interface and doesnt have multiple operations.
My doubt is whether we can use the IR of PI 7.0 while working with DUET enterprise.
If Yes, please explain in detail.
If no, what are the varios options available?

Hi Disciple11,
As you said, Service Interface with multiple operations are supported from PI 7.1 onwards. Mostly SAP does not deliver enterprise services with multiple operaiotns as it would be impossible to import for customers those who are in lower versions like XI 3.0, 7.0 etc.
For DUET enterprise, you can create a back end operation proxy in service consumption layer either from a RFC or from a WSDL URL. Nevertheless I think it would not be possible to import the PI content with multiple operations for a serrive interface to PI 7.0 and below.
Thanks,
Sankar

SAP xRPM/PPM5.0 and Duet Enterprise

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to integrate Duet Enterprise into this landscape whereby SAP xRPM is our backend as we are upgrading to PPM 5.0 soon and Sharepoint 2010. Most of the examples that I've seen are using ECC 6.0 as backend however in this case we are using xRPM, as for the front end we uses SAP NW Portal.
Just trying to find out more on what are the possibilities of introducing Duet Enterprise into our landscape. Hope some of the experts here can provide more input in this.
Regards,
Jordi

Hi Jordi,
In general, you use pretty much any ABAP-based system as your backend system for Duet Enterprise (on Gateway). There are two ways to communicate between the backend system and Gateway:
- RFC: Here you can connect to backends all the way down to 4.6C
- Web Service: Here you need to check from which release on the web service you want to use is available
I am not an xRPM expert. Please feel free to come back with more specific questions for this scenario.
Cheers, Alex

Duet Enterprise - SAP Microsoft

Hi,
I need to give a demo for Duet Enterprise.
I am planning to give the leave application and cancelation approval process (workflow for couple of leave types).
Q 1) What all are the initial configuration /steps which I have to do from HCM point of view?
-     Hire employees /approvers
-     Configuration of leave types and quotas
-                    User ids created in SAP r/3 and IT0105 email
-                    My understanding is basic SAP workflow should be there for share point to access. Hope its correct.
-                    What esle to do??

Thomas

Hello Thomas,
Please find my inline reply to your questions.
+I need to give a demo for Duet Enterprise.+
For giving duet demo. First you have to install & configure Duet Enterprise in your Landscape. after that you have to configure wat you want to do in HR.
for out of box possiblity is below in Duet Enterprise
1. Workflow Approval
2.Reporting
3.Mysite
4.Profile Synchronization
5. Enterprise Collaboration
6. SAP intgration- Starter Services.
others you can customorize as you want to do.
I am planning to give the leave application and cancelation approval process (workflow for couple of leave types).
In out of box here only Leave approval/cancellation is possible.
For applying Leave you need to design custome development
Q 1) What all are the initial configuration /steps which I have to do from HCM point of view?
create two personal numbers with 1 reportee and 1 his approver.
maintain correct data in infotype 105 and maintain Leave Quota in Infotype 2006
Appy a Leave in R3 using PTARQ t code with Test Application Tab with reportee personal number
- What esle to do??
For Duet enterprise. Give access to Leave workflow Task in SharePoint. go to Transaction SE 38 and Run ABAP Report- RSWNSEL and OSP_FULL/OSP_DELTA you configured in ERP and then run ABAP Report- S_OSP_WF_ITEM_SELECTION.
Then check you will get Leave workflow approval Task in SharePoint. Login with approver employee id in SharePoint and approve the Leave .

Duet Enterprise 2.0 - Accessing SAP DMS Documents

Hi,
Is there any possibility to access the SAP DMS documents using Duet Enterprise 2.0 from SharePoint 2013?
If the answer is No, then what is the starter services in DE 1.0 and why the DMS functionality is included in that and not in DE 2.0, which will be the easy way to access SAP documents from the SharePoint. Is there any alternative?
Please clear my queries, i'm eager to know the reason behind it.
Thanks,
Kamal

Hi Kamal,
The DE 1.0 Starter Services models are available on the DE 2.0 Software package. To implement Starter Services for DE 2.0 you should follow all of the steps in the DE 1.0 FP1 documentation with the exception of importing on SharePoint. I have attached a document with the commands required to import the Starter Services to SharePoint.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Helen
