ERP product roadmap

Hi
I am looking for timeline information on the SAP ERP architecture roadmap - for eg : when R/3 4.6 C released, when was R/3 enterprise ( 4.7 ) release, when was NW 2004 released etc - going upto ERP 6.0. I do have a SAP document - slide on the 'Evolution of SAP ERP' architecture indicating this road map but that does not give details of the time line of different ERP product releases....starting from 4.6C
Would anyone out there have the timeline information on this roadmap ?

have you tried searching on SDN ?

Creation of a Multi-Year Product Roadmap in Project 2010

I am looking to see if I can efficiently create a product roadmap using Project 2010. For a given business unit in our corporation I have product categories and under those categories I have products and/or projects I want to show on a timeline. I
was able to brute force this into a timeline but I would think there is an easier way to do this.
For example, I would like to be able to put the description of the product/project inside the bar on the ghantt chart but I get an error when I try to do that. I increased the bar height to allow for legible text but still no luck.
I want each entry for a given product category to automatically produce a bar of the right color with starting and ending symbols as needed based on the type of entry I add (product versus project).
Is there any way to add an outline to the bars of different colors to designate the difference between a sustaining, anticipated, active, and discontinued product or project?
Or would I be better served to go find an aftermarket piece of software that will do this type of work instead of trying to use MS Project for something it wasn't specifically designed?
Thank you for any feedback.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Here is a
tutorial that might help you coloring your bar style. This is based on the resource name but you could have a custom field with your product category which trigger a flag then the bar style will be formated
based on the flag.
Then about the description in the bar, I'm afraid this is not intended for this purpose. What about the note fields?
Hope this helps,

Peoplesoft - a competative ERP product in todays dynamic market

Peoplesoft - a competitive ERP product in today’s dynamic market ...
Today's market demands you to be on the edge and imparting cutting edge technology to be having a strong presence in the industry.
Having products like SAP, Oracle Applications, Siebel, JD Edwards, Microsoft Dynamics and other players in the market... is Peoplesoft having a better hand in providing and proving its product efficiency and service to the latest needs of the customer. YES...NOO ??
The current projects and road maps to all the Peoplesoft professionals sufficient enough to emerge and have strong mark in the next generation.....Peoplesoft 9.0 and the next releases will unleash and bring new customers and enrich present customers to ease their process and increase their business revenues....

But down the road, there is every possibility that Oracle will get the best out of PeopleSoft and embed it into Fusion Applications.

AIRHelp product roadmap?

There is a lot of enthusiasm for AIR Help and the early adopters have made some good suggestions! Does anyone know if Adobe plans continued updates to AIR Help, and if so, how to get feature requests to them? Is there a product roadmap? For example, we are stalled until there is a way for us to handle end user comments over the internet (the way Adobe can with some of their product help), and whether we can virtualize the system (using Endeavors). I'm planning for next year's deliverables and would love to know whether particular problems are being solved and we can move forward with AIRHelp. thanks -Dee

Only Adobe know their plans and it is their policy not to publish them so no one can answer the question here. I don't doubt there will be changes but what they are is something else.
Submitting feature requests is easy.
http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38
When you talk of sharing comments over the internet, do you really mean internet or an intranet? If the latter, there is a solution on my site.
Can't help you on virtualisation. Perhaps if you explain a bit more.

ALSB Product Roadmap question

Hi,
Am curious if the ALSB product roadmap includes support for Web Services Notifications and Web Services Resource Framework anytime soon ?
Both are OASIS standards.

Unfortunately this is currently not a supported configuration. A domain must contain a single ALSB cluster. This is something we are looking to improve in the future.

VCNS product roadmap

So I see that vCNS 5.5 has been out of GA for over a year with no product that I can see as a replacement, except NSX maybe. It also already had an exception made to extend support to 2016 instead of EOL'ing in 2015 as per VMmware's 2-year EAP lifecycle. However, I don't see any plans or hints at a vCNS 6.0 product. Right now I'm leveraging vCNS App and Firewall to secure a mixed PCI/nonPCI VDI environment. Reading between the lines it looks like vCNS 5.5 is the end of the line and they're going to force us over to NSX come Q3 2016 if I want to still leverage the functionality App and Firewall were providing. Does anyone have any info on vCNS beyond 5.5? Am I right to think "NSX" will be the answer? Or is there another product I'm not aware of that is offering the App and Firewall functionality now?

vCNS is no longer purchaseable as single product from VMware, but it's included in vCloud Suites.Thats why the support lifecycle was extended until 2016 i think.
Every new customer is forced to buy an vCloud Suite to use all functionalities of vCNS.
I also found this PDF from VMware for vCNS EOL and Bundling with vCloud Suites - https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vcns/vmware-vcloud-networking-and-security-standalone-products-eoa.pdf

FormsCentral product roadmap

I am in a 30 day trial period for FormsCentral and for the most part, I like what I'm seeing and see real value in the hosted service. However, in order to commit to the product, I need to know where it is going. I really have two purposes for my research: 1) as a member of a small HOA organization with fewer than a dozen forms that need to be circulated among a few people for approvals; and 2) as an IT Director in a large public sector organization with over 1000 users, 100 forms, and several dozen approvers. In both situations, there are two key elements to a forms engine--workflow and electronic/digital signatures. Workflow means that the forms need to pass through several different email boxes with entries possible from each. Digital signatures does not necessarily mean signatures in the legal context, but authentication in the form that current Adobe PDF forms allow that just identifies the logged in username, IP address, date and timestamp.
Is FormsCentral moving toward either of these features in the reasonably near future? At the enterprise level, we would also need to be able to render the form (not just the data) into an electronic (PDF) record that could be preserved for audit trail as well. Is FormsCentral targeting the enterpise market, or just the SMB market?

FormsCentral does not publish a product road map and I really can't share information about upcoming features.
For the "workflow" need you may be able to accomplish this using the new "Save Web Form" feature. It is not designed for this purpose, but if you gave proper instruction in the form and could rely on the users to do the right thing users could route the form through a series of fillers by entering the next users email in the "Save" dialog to have the partially filled out form emailed to them.
Here is an overview of the feature: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4135
Related to the "we would also need to be able to render the form (not just the data) into an electronic (PDF) record that could be preserved" you can save any response as a PDF form from the "View Responses" tab by selecting the response and using the "Download Response as PDF Form" option from the row menu or the File menu.
Thanks,
Josh

ECO 7.0 for ERP product catalog views

To warn everyone, I know this question has been asked before for earlier releases several times, but I did not find anything in the threads I mention below.
We are currently on CRM 7 and ECC 6(no enhancement packs). I have found quite a few good materials on the solution and configuration, but still have not found anything that explains how customer specific catalog views are setup in CRM 7 ECO using ECC 6 as a backend. I was wondering if you have any resources that you could point me to find out more about this functionality.
I have read the following threads:
Re: Creating Catalog Views
Product Catalog Views in R/3 ECC6.0
but really have not come up with any conclusive beyond it is custom development work.
Can someone please confirm or deny this for this specific combination? If this is repeat of an already answered question, please give me the thread and I will post this information into the CRM wiki as my punishment for duplicating the question.
Take care,
Stephen

Hello Stephen,
I just implemented catalog views for the exact same scenario, CRM7.0/ECC6.0 a couple of weeks ago. I followed several threads and blogs on SDN, including the one Easwar mentions and it works fine. Maybe there is another way to do it now with less custom development but at least the 'old' approach is still working, as Easwar says... I sent you my detailed documentation so you can have a look. If you have news from SAP, i'm also interested.
Thanks & regards,
Fabian

Inquiry about oracle Fusion Application(New Oracle ERP product) and ADF

Please i want to know what the java technology oracle fusion application is developed by,java ADF or another?!
and about ADF ?how i can build my approval process for specific transaction ?!is it any tools for that integrated with ADF ?!
Thanks in advance
o.t.a

For human approval process you might want to look into Oracle BPM and the Human workflow engine that it offers - it is well integrated with Oracle ADF as the UI layer for the managers.

Crystal Report installation roadmap

Hi All,
I googled and found that the the SAP data can be extracted only if SAP BW is configured. We have a different requirement
InfoSet Queries are developed, which extracts data from SAP tables
We need to customize the design of the report, therefore plan to have temporary extracted data in InfoSet query and
install and integrate Crystal Report with Infoset Queries for customizing the layout.
Are our concepts correct about crystal report? If yes, how can we integrate CR with SAP, keeping in consideration that we haven't implemented SAP BW.
In short, installation/configuration of the following scenerio
SAP Tables -> InfoSet Query -> Crystal Report -> Custom Layout with Infoset Query data -> Print
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Ingo for your valuable response. Infact, I'm a big fan of your blogs @Business Objects.
Actually, the objective is to design reports with customized heading without using ABAP. For the purpose, InfoSet queries are created. Now I'm looking for a tool, e.g. Crystal Reports etc., to design queries output in professional way.
What do you suggest, which product should I opt for temporary purpose? We will be acquiring BOBJ in next fiscal year, which I hope will make our life easy for developing/designing new reports. But at current, which product/roadmap should be focus on?
Thanks !

Product replication from R/3 to CRM

Hi Experts,
Project: I'm implementing a Sales and Marketing project and the scope involves Activity, Lead & Opportunity Management
Background: I've successfully done all the configurations. I've also migrated all the Business Partners and Products successfully from R/3. All the customizing objects have been migrated and are in the done state. All the queues are working fine and are empty. Even the heirarchies and categories have been migrated from R/3.
Problem: Though the Products have been replicated from R/3 are not visible in the transaction commpr01.
Business Impact: The project is stuck due to this issue and i have missed the GoLive.
Would request all to share their expertise and rescue me out of this problem.
In Anticipation
Arvind

Hi
Pls go through following note, it might help you
"Before data can be transferred from the ERP material master to the product master, certain Customizing information must be transferred. Once this information has been transferred without errors, the material master records can be transferred. The data is transferred using middleware. The Customizing information transferred determines, for example, how the product ID is stored in the product master and which product data can be created.
Unless indicated otherwise, the information contained in this info object is relevant to the ERP material master for industries and to the ERP article master for retail. Retail users are requested to substitute:
● Article for material
● Merchandise category for material group
Prerequisites
If a product hierarchy is used in the ERP system:
● You have created the numbering scheme R3PRODHIER in the CRM system for the product hierarchy from the ERP system, making sure that the numbering scheme precisely corresponds to the structure for the product hierarchy in the ERP system (that is, structure PRODHS). This numbering scheme is essential for the data to be created correctly.
● The number of levels in the numbering scheme must be the same as the number of fields in structure PRODHS, and the number of digits for each level must be the same as the length of the corresponding field in structure PRODHS.
For more information, see in the Implementation Guide (IMG) Cross-Application Components ® SAP Products ®Product Category ® Define Category Numbering Schemes.
Features
The following information is transferred:
● Information for converting the ERP material number to the product ID
This is whether the material number is stored lexicographically in the ERP system and the length of the product ID in the database of the ERP system.
● ERP material groups
This information is transferred to the hierarchy R3MATCLASS.
● Information in the ERP material type that determines which data can be created for a product
This is transferred to the hierarchy R3PRODSTYP (product subtype). The hierarchy has two levels. The first level contains the categories MAT_ for materials and SRV_ for services. In the case of materials, the second level is a sublevel of MAT_ and contains the material types imported from ERP, each with the prefix MAT_. For example, the ERP material type HAWA (trading goods) is created as the category MAT_HAWA.
In addition, the SAP-defined CRM set types are assigned to the categories of the hierarchy R3PRODSTYP as follows:
○ The following set types are assigned to the category MAT_:
■ COMM_PR_MAT (basic data on materials)
■ COMM_PR_SHTEXT (description)
■ COMM_PR_UNIT (conversion of units of measure)
■ COMM_PR_LGTEXT1 (basic texts)
As a result, these set types are inherited by all material types.
○ The following set types are also assigned to the category MAT_ if the status Sales is assigned to the material type in the ERP system:
■ CRMM_PR_SALES (sales: distribution chain)
■ CRMM_PR_SALESA (sales: control fields, units of measure, and quantities)
■ CRMM_PR_SALESG (sales: groupings)
■ CRMM_PR_TAX (sales: taxes)
■ CRMM_PR_LGTEXT2 (sales: texts)
■ CRMM_PR_LGTEXT (texts)
● ERP product hierarchies
This information is transferred to the CRM hierarchy R3PRODHIER.
Activities
 1. Using transaction R3AS, transfer the following middleware objects for the class CUSTOMIZING:
○ DNL_CUST_PROD0 (storage form of material numbers in sending system)
○ DNL_CUST_PROD1 (material types, material groups, and product hierarchy)
○ DNL_CUST_PROD3 (material statuses in sales and distribution)
 2. Using transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, check whether the corresponding hierarchies have been created in CRM.
 3. Check in Customizing for Cross-Application Components whether the storage form (lexicographical or not) is correct for the material number transferred, by choosing SAP Products ® Basic Settings ®Define Output Format and Storage Form of Product IDs.

BPR - Selecting 46c/47 processes from BPR in ERP EHP logical component

Hello,
We have a project which will be used SAP ERP EnhP 5 for the project. So we have defined a logical component in SMSY with that product and version Z_ERP_EHP. Then we assigned it to the project in Solar Project Admin
When we are working in Solar01, and select a process (i.e. Accounts Payable) which says that it is valid for 4.6c on, however it is not associated to the Z_ERP_EHP logical component but tries to associate it to SAP R/3 logical component. It seems that SAP ERP EHP is not recognized as a successor of 4.6c. Then we have to reassign the process /process steps to the the Z.. logical component.
Am I missing something?
Esteban Hartzstein

Hello Volkner,
Thanks for your answer. To continue with you explanation, for the meantime, though I only use Central Application instance in the ERP EhP 4, I should be definying two logical components, one just for SAP ERP product and the other for the EhP, both pointing to the same landscape, so that I can correct select BPR processes.
Moreover, for each industry solution (IS OIL, Retail, etc.) I need to define different logical components.
I appreciate your input.
Regards
Esteban
