ERP-integration via middleware

Hi,
It is possible to create a wbs-element for a campaign element without creating a wbs-element for the campaign when using ERP integration via middleware (automatic on releasing)? We are in addition using the badi for checking on campaign type and tactic.

Hi,
would not think that they actually need access to your production systems but rather a replica that is as close as possible in all aspects. If access to the production system is required, then set up a totally read only groups and assign the individual integrators to those groups.
There are a couple of ways that the issue of responsibility for interfaces/integration can be handled.
One is to have the Implementer agree to provide the services to do the analysis (requirements and functional) and then to develop, test and resolve any issues from the tests. However, this will require that they be come "experts" in your legacy system and add to the total cost of the implementation of the ERP.
Another is to have your internal IT Department take on the management of this part of the project to include analysis (requirements and functional) and then to develop, test and resolve any issues from the tests. There are some benefits to this. First they have the expertise in the legacy system and second, it will allow them to learn the ERP system more intimately and provide the opportunity to become experts there as well. Some drawbacks may include the learning curve for the new system and its technologies (this can be remedy by bringing in short term technical consultants that have experience in the technologies to help during the development of the interfaces/integrations and provide "training").
One other way is to just bring an "integrator". But, again, the integrator may need to become experts in both systems and this adds a little more to TCO.
No matter what you, or your company, decides to do, remember, the more you do up front (analysis and design) the less that needs to be done on the back side (development and testing) and the easier the project will go.
Reward points if found helpfull..

Dear Mr. Figueiredo,
When a marketing element is replicated to R/3, only the element id,
dates and the element guid is replicated to R/3.
The master data (Products and customers) are transferred to the BW
system. The Costing/Planning data is transferred to the SEM system.
I have attached a small screen shot giving you the steps how the
data is transferred to R/3
I hope this information is of some help to you.

Can't See ERP Integrator in Workspace

Hello,
I have installed and apparently successfully configured ERP Integrator on 11.1.1.3, Windows 2003 R2. Now when I goto workspace -> navigate -> administer I don't see ERP Integrator. Bear in mind that I do not have ODI installed yet, (for various reasons) on this machine. Is this the cause of the issue? I am aware that until I configure ODI I can't really use ERPi, but I just wanted to verify.
Also when I goto the following link : http://machiney:6550/aif/faces/setup/Main.jsp I get a message saying I am not authorized to access this page. I am logged in as administrator.
by the way, I did restart the services and I also tried rebooting the server. Didn't work.
Any guidance will be appreciated.

Hello EssbaseApprentice,
Any product that is either installed/configured/deployed via the EPM Configurator AFTER Workspace has been deployed will not be reflected inside of Workspace. This is becaues the Workspace configuration stores static content in an .XML file of the Application tier and is not dynamically driven. You will need to redeply Workspace to have all changes reflected and demonstrated.
Also you can not go directly to most products starting in v11.1.1.3.00 as they will require the SharedServices SSO token to process as most products will not have a direct logon page going into the future. Workspace will be a requirement.
Thank you,

Activation of CRM RDS with ERP integration impact on existing ERP configuration

Hi,
I'm doing automatic content activation (via Solution Builder) of the CRM RDS solution with ERP integration. The CRM system is a new installation which will linked to an existing ERP system.
Will the activation of RDS Solution content overwrite the existing configuration in ERP? What is impact of on existing configuration and existing process on ERP?

1. The add-on seems to support all new versions of ECC, does this include ECC on HANA ? --> The add-on supports all release of ECC above the base release mentioned in the Integration guide, including ECC on HANA
2. Is it necessary to backup the environment before installing the add-on ? --> The Add-On does not contain any DB tables. It should not interfere with the ECC environment, so you can install these without any disruption or downtime. As part of general hygiene, you may want to make sure that there is a recent enough backup for the ECC system.
3. The component seems to be isolated from impacting any ECC functionality and its just for the purpose of integrating C4C with ECC. Would this mean that no regression testing is required in ECC ?
No regression testing is required for ECC standard functionality. It will not affect existing distribution models. You will have to set up new ones for Cloud for Customer Integration scenarios.
4. The component doesn't seems to have an uninstall option which would meant that any reverts could only be done through system backup only. Is this accurate ? --> There is no uninstall option.

After upgrade to iOS 7.1 calendar integrated via caldav is no longer available

Hi,
We use several iOS devices in my family and we share a calendar sitting on our home NAS (Synology). The calendar is integrated via 'caldav'.
This worked fine for a long time (also using the latest iOS 7.0x versions).
However, after upgrading the devices to iOS7.1 we have one iPhone5 that no longer shows the shared caldav calendar. In setting the calendar shows up and the connection can be validated successfully. However, the calendar app does not show this shared family calendar. As it would not have been configured.
On the other devices the calendar works fine.
The phone not showing the calendar is also syncrhonized with an additional MS Exchange calendar. This still works fine. I mentioned it because this is something that is different compared to those devices that still show the shared caldav calendar.
Does anybody has an idea about how to fix this situation?
Is there any workaround to make the configured, shared caldav calendar visible in the calendar app?
Regards,
Martin

Update: This was caused by a hardware failure of the Touch ID and just happened to coincide with when I did the update. Got my phone exchanged today and everthing is working properly.

ERP integrator target applications greyed out

Hi all,
I'm configuring the ERP integrator within EMPA (to use with FDM later) but when registering target applications three of the four are greyed out.
I have tried to delete and refresh them, re-deploy and so on but they stay greyed out.
Can anyone tell me how to re-activate the target applications so i can select them again?
Thanks,
Marc

Hi All,
Did any of you had success in configuring FDM with ERPI. I am trying to configure FDM+ERPI for extracting data from Oracle Financials R12 and load it into an EPMA Planning application. When i go onto create a Metadata Rule and click on the Add Dimension button, the next page gives an error stating: There are no more dimensions remaining to be mapped under this application. and the dimension drop down in the target application area remains empty. Any idea why this happens? My Hyperion version is 11.1.1.3. I also downloaded and applied latest available patch of ERPI but no results.
Thanks & Regards,

FDM mapping in ERP Integrator

Hi, all of you
I'm now thinking of the way to connect Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition 11.1.1.3.0 with ERP Integrator.
In the introduction section in ERPI admin guide, ERPI is mentioned as a module of FDM.
However, as far as I read the later sections in the guide, FDM is needed only if the user wants to use "FDM mapping."
Is my understanding correct, and EBS and HFM is connected only with ERPI (without FDM)?
And, if you know the advantage of using FDM mapping (I couldn't understand, actually), please tell me.
Thanks in advance
Yoshiki

FDM is not required.
The same type of mappings can be done in ERPI and FDM. For example 3 accounts in the g/l for coffee, soda, snacks map to one in HFM account.
Using ERPI you will need more in the way of IT skill sets where FDM is constructed more for the Finance user to maintain.
Not that it is that difficult, but moreover you want to buy FDM because the internal controls available would cost you a lot more to script, test, validate, and implement outside of this packaged solution.

ERP Integrator Source Informations

Hi All,
I would like to know whether ERP Integrator will support the External feed file(from any other source system) to Hyperion Applications. ERP Integrator will support all ORACLE ERP & HR Modules, but in terms of external system likes Customized ERPs it will support or not. I understood from the below content, it will support the external system through Open Interface Adapter. I couldn't find any document on Open Interface Adapter.
Anyone having the experience on the above scenario, Please share your experience and let me know is there related document or URL..
I got the below content from the Oracle documents:
ERP Integrator supports general ledger data for:
Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
Oracle E-Business Suite 12
Oracle Fusion Financials
PeopleSoft Enterprise Financial Management 9.0
PeopleSoft Enterprise Financial Management 9.1
PeopleSoft Commitment Control
SAP ERP Financial
JD Edwards General Ledger system
ERP Integrator supports human resource data for:
PeopleSoft Human Capital Management 9.0
Integration includes data load and drill through. The integration is supported for the following SAP ERP Financial modules:
General Ledger
Profit Center
Cost Center
In addition ERP Integrator provides support for Open Interface Adapter. The Open Interface Adapter allows you to import data from any source system using the interface table.
Thanks,
PC

Hi All,
Got the Answer, The ERP Integrator will support external feeds files through FDM as well as they introduce Open Interface Adapter for flat files in new version(11.1.2.2). Please refer FDM ERP I read me document for more details. Currently i dont have any information for Open Interface Adapter. I will let you post the same once i got the reference materials.
Thank you for all your support.... :)

SCADA - XMII - ERP integrations through SAP PI

Hi Experts,
I have an integration scenario comprising of a SCADA system & SAP ECC. Could anybody suggest some document / send reference links on SCADA - XMII - ERP integrations through SAP PI.
Useful response would be appreciated.
Regards,
Santhosh

SCADA-XMII integration
Scada system should always remain connected to some Historian system. You can directly connect to SCADA system to xMII using vendor specific UDS (Universal Data Servers) Like Citect UDS ...
If vendor specific UDS is not available in MII then you can make it possible if the SCADA system is OPC complaint, through OPC UDS DA, but it provides only current data without any mata data information.
As a robust business practice it is not recommended to use direct SCADA connectivity to xMII, it should go through some Historian( Citect, Wonderware, Siemens...many more) so XMII will be able to get all plant floor operations data in history & current modes.
XMII-ERP Integration
XMII supports IDOC & BAPI communication with ERP system using various SAP connectors available in XMII as in SAP BC, SAP JCO.
Specific to PI Sheet, you can download various control receipe, process orders data using IDocs.
BAPIs can be used to do "process order confirmations" back to ERP system and make changes in process data.
Let me know if you would like to know about specific SCADA system- xMII connectivity or specific activity in PI.
Thanks

Target registration in ERP Integrator in the Workspace

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate HFM 11.1.1.3 with E-Business suite R12 using ERP Integrator. Actually, I want to load journal entries from EBS in HFM.
I've successfully registered the source (EBS) and I filled all the ODI details, but I can't register the target (HFM) as the "Target Application" field is empty although I've created application in hfm and in workspace.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Ahmed.

Loading Alias from EBS to planning through erp integrator

Hi all,
Can anybody tell me how to load the member properties from EBS to Hyperion Planning using ERP integrator. My trial only loaded the members with few default properties.
My planning application is classic. And i used mapping type as "single segment". Didnt find any detailed options there to define the member properties.
Thanks

Hello,
I do not believe storage type is available.
The Alias is based on the languages you have defined when you setup your applications inside of ERPi. Not all "aliases" will come over; and only the basic information is actually stored as a description. I would suggest you review the ERPi Admin guide for your release.
Please review the documentation completely and ensure you understand it. The most current documentation can be found at the following URL.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/erpi_admin.pdf
Information retrieved from the source can be found on Page 31.
Information about aliases can be found on Page 34.
Thank you,

You can choose a directory local to the ERPi server in the environment.

FDM and ERP Integrator Module

I am trying to select the correct ledger from the Oracle E-Business Suite. Within the ERP Integrator area in EPMA, I am trying to select the ledger, when I select the entity for integration.
Select Source Accounting Entity for Integration screen returns no rows.
Any advice?
I was thinking it has to do something with ODI and specifying which Oracle E-Business Suite segments/books to pull data from. Has anyone seen a setting for a Oracle EBS segment/book in the topology manager?
Edited by: user8702914 on Oct 22, 2009 10:39 AM

Hello,
FDM is supported to Oracle RAC but not the ERP Integrator. If you see the 11.1.1.3 support matrix oracle has updated on the last tab telling that FDM will support. ERP Integrator is a new product and it was never designed or tested to be on Oracle RAC. This is what the information we got from the Oracle support when we were doing our in house testing for 11.1.1.3
Thanks

How Enabling ERP Integrator Drill Through from a Grid

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how to see the source data by using FR.
some where i saw we can see this by using Enabling ERP Integrator Drill Through from a Grid.
but i dont know how to set this...
can any one help on this...

Incidentally we had been trying to use Essbase studio as an option.But there are 2 oints that we are trying to investigate.
1) Can we bypass deployment of data and metadata everytime through Essbase studio after the initial outline is delpoyed? In the system architecture the relational tables are populated using ODI. We would like to load the data and metadata through ODI into the cube. Eeven then can we implement drill thru bypassing deployment through Essbase Studio?
2) If Essbase studio is imperative for drill through then what are the batch automation options for deployment through Essbase studio? Ideally the option should be after the relational tables are populated through ODI then the Essbase deployment should be invoked and batch script should load the data and metadata through Essbase Studio.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anirban
