ERP 6.0 and Enterprise Services

Hi everybody,
Currently we have installed an ERP 6.0 (IDES) system and we want to integrate it with a third-party software using XI (PI) and web services.
I have the following questions about it:
1) Is the Enterprise Services included in our ERP 6.0 system? or do we have to activate or install it?
2) We are looking to work with web services, where can we find them in our system?
For example:
ESR Object Type: ifmoper
Software Component Version: ESA ECC-SE 603
Technical Name: MaintenanceOrderCreateRequestConfirmation_In
Namespace: http://sap.com/xi/EA-APPL/SE/Global
Category: 3rd Party A2A
Application Component PM
Any information will be appreciated,
Thanks!.

Hi jessicab,
1) Is the Enterprise Services included in our ERP 6.0 system? or do we have to activate or install it?
Ans: Yes include in the ECC6 you have to configure as per guide.
2) We are looking to work with web services, where can we find them in our system?
Ans: For this you have to install java component at the time of installation. If you have not install at the time of installation then you can install now and configure as per guide.
Regards,
Anil

How to map business process and enterprise service?

Recently, I read some documents about ESA. I'm confusing about the relationship between business process and enterprise service. In other word, how to map the business process to enterprise service after the business process is analyzed? Is there any methodology/rule to define business process and wrap them into service in ESA?

Hi Sherry,
I like to add some of my thoughts about that discussion. From my point of view ESA is much more than just another BPM or Enterprise BPM. ESA is adresses six key areas and I think all of them are really needed:
- People Productivity as the word itself describes...it's about portals and productivity.
- Embedded Analytics has to integrate transactional and analytical content.
- Service Composition is used for model-driven service composition and services orchestration.
- Service Enablement is about a Enterprise Services Repository filled with business meaningful Enterprise Services and service patterns for enabled objects. Excactly this is where SAP has years of experiences.
- Business Process Platform is about service enablement of all application platform objects and engines. This is the place where "BPM" for core business processes resits.
- Life-Cycle Management has to cover the deployment, configuration, operation and change management for ESA based processes.
Therefore the term "BPM" is located in serveral layers of an ESA approach. On the level of Business Process Platform BPM is providing the choreography for core business preocesses.
At Service Enablement BPM needs to compose out of granular services (I would say "atomic" services)
buiness meaningful services (here we have "molecular" services).
The third level where BPM could be used is Service Composition because exactly this is the place
where serveral Enterprise Services could be combined to a process representation.
To come back to the discussion:
1. The question should be how to indentify business meaningful services which could represent single process steps. ATP check, Credit card check, ... could be examples. In theory this service could be out-tasked, defined more flexible etc. This means that processes needs to be evaluated for Enterprise Service candidates. Afterwards you can check against SAP's Enterprise Services Repository for already existing Enterprise Services. The evalution for enterprise services candidates will be supported by the metodology mentioned by Kaj and David.
2. I think domains in this context should be motivated by business and/or functional areas. Depending on the granularity. For example Order Fulfilment Services, Master Data Services, Search Services... These kind of serices can be combined again to services such as "Search of Master Data" (Search Service + Read Master Data Service) etc. or can be used to generate UI to be used in a ESA application.
Your thoughts?
Very best regards

How to expose an ERP function as an enterprise service

Hi there
I am searching for an enterprise service which can create a contract account for a business partner (in the FA/CA area). It seems no such a service operation is availalbe after exhaustive search in the ESWorkplace and ESR. (Please correct me if you know where to find it). As an alternative, I think it is probably the only way to create an ABAP (?) service by my own, which does the job, and then to publish it as a WS service.
Is there anyone who knows how to do it or can point me the documents about how to do that? Thanks a lot.
Best,
Ji

Hi,
I didn't search for service but if you want to expose existing functionality as webservice then first find which FM/BAPI etc working behind that business function.
Next step would be exposing that BAPI/FM as service which can be done using transaction SE80 (Web Service Creation Wizard).
If no BAPI/FM available then probably you need to write something to exploit current business transaction.
For tutotial please search SCN for keyword: "Web Service Creation Wizard".

Difference between Webservice and Enterprise Service

Hi all,
In SAP, web service is known as Enterprise Service. What makes Enterprise Service different from a normal web service?

Hi,
Enterprise Service is a web service with business semantics.
The tecnology is same i.e HTTP,SOAP,WSDL.
But there are some governance rule for defining an Enterprise Service and it can be defined only in ESR(using business objects, process components etc).
There are no such governance rule for defining a web service. You can simply write a mehtod/functional module to add two nos and expose it as a web service . But would not be called as Enterprise Service.
Hope this helps.

Piyush

MII and Enterprise Services

Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience creating or using Enterprise Services using MII as the service provider? Is this functionality possible with any current (or future) MII software releases? If so then is there any documentation out there that may define this path/procedure?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi,
It is possible to consume ESOA service using MII. But I doubt about the ES using MII. All esoa services are registered services so it will have a link to WSIL file of the server. But for MII services, the transactions are exposed as WS using WSDLGen (http://<host>:<port>/XMII/WSDLGen/<Path to the transaction>). These services will not be registered in server level.
Thanks,
Pradip

Comparison between ODI and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

Hi,
As per my knowledge Oracle has provided two infrastructures, namely ODI and ESB for migrating data across applications.
My query is where I should use ESB and where ODI. Is there any comparison document available? I heard that for bulk data movement ODI is suggested by Oracle. Is there any benchmark exists for comparing these two tools?
I also want to map these tools with Oracle E-Business suite's conversion process. Is it possible to map each stage of a traditional Conversion Process (Data Loading, Validating, Importing to Oracle EBusiness Suite) using these tools?
Any kind of help/idea will be very much appreciated.
Regards.
Tapas

I also think that same way. I do not know what is so apecial about BEA Aqualogic ESB and other market matured ESB products such as TIBCO & SONIC. The samples which BEA has given in their evaluation guide are very simplistic. BEA should do more to provide extensive knowledge/features about their Aqualogic line of products.

ITS and Enterprise Services

Hi,
I am a little confused about these two terms.
Both seem to relate to providing customisable web based transactions to end users.
Where do they fit relative to one another? Are they related?
Thanks.

Thanks Oisin,
Yes, I understand it is a broad term, but seems to have common themes, and SAP have grouped it together [here.|http://esworkplace.sap.com/socoview(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZkPW1pbg==)/render.asp?sap-unique=232904&sap-params=aWQ9RjZDRkMwRUEzRUYxNEJDOTg0MUM1MjgyNzJFRTg1ODMmcGFja2FnZWlkPURFMDQyNkREOUIwMjQ5RjE5NTE1MDAxQTY0RDNGNDYyJm1vZGU9]
If you look at the samples, it uses a web front end. So I am guessing this is a term for a collection of code which serves certain business processes, and uses ITS as its base technology?
Please take a look and see what you think.

Integration Scenarios and Enterprise Service Bundles

Hello,
I understand the concept of both individually, but I am wondering about their relationship; e.g. there seem to be some identical names like Order to Cash for both. Can someone please explain the relationship. Thanks.

Enterprise Services and webMethods

I have an environment utilising webMethods as the integration tool for SAP-nonSAP integrations.
My question relates to the future roadmap for enterprise services (ESB and enterprise services repository and registry). Do I utilise SAP PI 7.1 as the enterprise services bus or utilse the webMethods environment?
The reason why I am leaning towards SAP PI is that most of the enterprise services which will be exposed will be from the SAP environment. How would SAP PI manage the existing integrations that use webMethods and how much work would be involved in exposing these are services?
From a BPM and BAM perspective, would the PI enterprise services environment be able to monitor and interrogate the webMethods processes?

Hi,
Since you would need to wet your hands by playing with webservice and PI. Please consider the following links.

PI 7.1 enterprise services: How to find & invoke SAP HCM enterprise Service

Hi all,
in PI 7.1, i read, there is support of enterprice services.
is my current understandings right about PI 7.1 and enterprise services:
1.the standard BAPIs, standard RFC that were provided in R/3 are replaced by standard enterprise services in SAP ECC.
2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3.
I want to view how an enterprise service of any SAP module can be called by a nonSAP applicaiton.
are there any doc or blog which shows this.
is possible with/wihout PI.
We have follwoing things installed.
1. PI 7.1 SP4.
2. SAP ECC 6.0, i am dealing with SAP HCM module.
are there any enterprise services of HCM available (e.g standard enterprise services given by SAP for HCM module).
basically i want to test whether a nonSAP application like a java application, can it get some info using standard HCM enterprise services provided by SAP.
I explored esWorkplace (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace), but it does not display HCM related process components under the column "DISCOVER ENTERPRISE SERVICES".
thanks,
Madhu.

Which product for which Enterprise Services?

Hi,
I try to test Enterprise Services with the Netweaver Sneak Preview Edition.
On the ES Workplace there are Enterprise Services documented mainly for four categories
> mySAP ERP
> mySAP Supply Chain Management
> mySAP Supplier Relationship Management
> mySAP Customer Relationship Management
Does this imply, that these four are the products, which are required to run the respective Enterprise Services?
Only two Enterprise Services are presented for the Business Solution Maps (Human Capital Management, and Supply Chain Managemnt only for Retail).
Is it in general possible to test Enterprise Services with the NetWeaver Sneak Preview Version? I cannot download the ES Addons, since a registration for the Service Market Place is required, here.
Thank you for help,
greetings, Rafael

Each SAP Product will deliver its set of Enterprise Services and act as Service Provider. Most of them will come from mySAP ERP as it's the mostly used product in the world.
You can consume Enterprise Service from Netweaver Sneak Preview (Java or Abap) as long as you have access to one mySAP ERP system which contains Enterprise Services.

Do we need a SAP PI system to use SAP SRM enterprise services?

Hi,
I am working in a project where we need to use some enterprise services like ([Maintain Purchase Request|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESpackages/MaintainPurchaseRequest]) for SAP SRM 7.x. We have an ECC 6 system also in the landscape but the middleware is a non-SAP one. My question is that to be able to use the SRM and Enterprise Services, do we need SAP PI or SAP CE in place. Any help or useful clue/pointers is appreciated.
Best regards,
Nilay
