External Catalogs of SRM 5.0 not working in SRM 7.0

Hi all,
Iu2019m in the process of converting all SRM 5.0 punchout catalogs to SRM 7.0.
All catalogs are working fine in SRM 5.0 but not in SRM 7.0.
For one I got a problem autologgin into the vendor catalog page.
In SRM 5.0 we are using ITS (no portal). For SRM 7.0 we are using SAP-Portal.
Iu2019ve traced SRM 5.0 punchout and SRM 7.0 punchout:
SRM50:
strUserName=XXXXX&strUserPwd=XXXXX&strLiefNr=XXXXX&HOOK_URL=https%3A%2F%2FXXXXX.XXX.ads%3A8002%2Fsap%28cz1TSUQlM2FBTk9OJTNhYWJhaGFjaGlfU1JEXzAwJTNhZjF2UUpGTlZWa1FFUFZrcDRXcDk5eDEwdDBBSUNnSE01V3pXQkY5Sy1BVFQ%3D%29%2Fbc%2Fgui%2Fsap%2Fits%2Fbbpsc03%2F%3F%7EOkCode%3DADDI%26%7Etarget%3D_top%26%7Ecaller%3DCTLG%26%7Eclient%3D100%26%7Elanguage%3DDE%26%7EHTTP_CONTENT_CHARSET%3Dutf-8&OCI_VERSION=4.0&OPI_VERSION=1.0&returntarget=_top
SRM70:
sap-client=100&sap-language=D&strUserName=XXXXX&strUserPwd=XXXXX&strLiefNr=XXXXX&OCI_VERSION=4.0&OPI_VERSION=1.0&returntarget=_top&HOOK_URL=http%3A%2F%2FXXXXX.XXX.ads%3A8000%2Fsap%2Fsapsrm%2Finbound_hdlr%3FTARGET_URL%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fvangogh%252eafg%252eads%253a50000%252firj%252fportal%253fNavigationTarget%253dpcd%253aportal_content%252fcom%252esap%252epct%252fspecialist%252fcom%252esap%252epct%252esrm%252esrm70%252fcom%252esap%252epct%252esrm%252ecore%252efl_core%252fcom%252esap%252epct%252esrm%252ecore%252efl_roles%252fcom%252esap%252epct%252esrm%252ecore%252ero_employeeselfservice%252ffl_goshopping%252fcom%252esap%252epct%252esrm%252ecore%252eiv_shop%2526NavMode%253d3%2526UsePost%253dTrue%2526SAPSRM_RESUME_ID%253dSAPSRM_OCI&CATALOG_URL=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.xxxdaten.de%2Fcommerceportal%2Focisrm_autologin.asp
I guess the differences in the punchout call is the reason for the failure in the autologin.
I thought OCI u2013 interface is standardized. Both punchouts are with OCI-Version 4.0, but the call is different!
Have I missed some settings? Is it possible to customize the punchout call e.g. to exclude the system added parameter "sap-client=100" because this is not used ins SRM50 punchout?
Or is it the task of the vendor to customize his system to the SRM 7.0 punchout logic?
Thanks for all of your inputs

Stefan

All,
We seem into run into similar issues once we upgraded from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0 Our catalog punchouts to ARIBA On-deman catalogs are not working. We have opened an OSS message with SAP so far none of the suggested options are working for us. ARIBA is also unable to help us.
We suspect our issue is failing within SAP and OCI is not writing any application logs (SLG1) etc, So it has been difficult to troubleshoot.
From the SRM Portal side, when we try to launch CATALOGS page in SRM 7.0, it fails right away with the following error
"Error connecting to Catalog; contact your System Administrator "
There are no errors anywhere on SRM box to investigate.
We are on SRM 7.0 Support pack level 6. So Note 1429685 - Empty importing parameter in BADI BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH is part of support pack 6.
We have also applied the note 1405908 - Issues with 3rd Party catalog integration with SRM 7.0 as per SAP, still no resolution.
Any suggestions !

SRM 5.0 External Catalog is not working in SRM 7.0

Hi,
I am facing an issue with External Catalog. It is working fine in SRM 5.0 but not working in SRM 7.0. I added the returntarget parameter and HOOKURL but still no luck. The parameters I have entered are
http://www.xxx.es/punchout/sap/ocipunchouthtml.aspx?username=xxx&password=xxx
USERNAME     XXX   Fixed Value
PASSWORD    XXX   Fixed Value
retruntarget    _top    Fixed Value
HOOKURL                 Return URL
The issue is that when I directly put the catalog URL in browser, it takes me to correct page from where I can shop but if I click the same link through SRM 7.0, it is navigating to some other page of vendor catalog from where items can't be added to shopping basket.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Anshuk Saxena

Customer Workflows Not Working from SRM Inbox

Hi everyone,
We are upgrdaing our EBP v3.5 system to SRM 5.0 (SRM SERVER 5.5 SP 5).
We are using integrated ITS and have many bespoke workflows which need to executeable in the SRM inbox via the integrated ITS and ultimately the portal (EP 7.0).
We have various issues with our bespoke workflows not working. The 2 errors we have found are:
1. When the users click on the workitem from the SRM inbox they sometimes see 'Service Cannot be Reached' error.
2. Other times they see the workitem details with no user decision buttons shown.
3. Other times the user decision buttons are shown but if the user clicks on one, they see a blank page with text "workitem currently locked by user WF_BATCH" at the top. This is an 'advance with dialog' task which works fine via SAPGUI.
Any ideas on any of the specific issues, or anything which we need to do generally to get custom workitems to be executeable via the ITS?
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Hi abhijit,
I checked that but I set it to blank in debug mode..but its still disappearing...the button disappears after pressing enter on error message.
actually the BADI when I implemented there is one method where I set E_ADD_ON_ACTIVE flag to 'X' to bring that button(recommended by SAP). that method is not getting called...

Search function in Catalog from Shopping cart does not work well

Hello,
We use SRM 5.0 with CCM 2.0 and have the following situation:
From the shopping cart we open a catalog and want to search material by number, for example number 7. Entering this material number directly in the search funtion on the catalog screen, it brings us not only the position with material number 7 buy aso all positions we have a number 7 in its materialnumber (2371, 743, 9957, etc) and a 7 in its description (Screw Bolt 7/3 for example).
I wonder if this normal behaviour of the SRM system or is this an error (with a note OSS asociated).
If this is normal behaviour, how can one search for only the material 7?
Thanks for any help,
Aart

Hi,
With regarding to items with 7 in the description
- It should be consequence of your procurement catalog definition. In schema tab, Catalog characteristics in the /CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION you have checked the Relevant for text-based search check-box
With regarding to the 7 results
- Please try using the advanced search option exact phrase or using "7"
I hope this help
Best regards
Jorge

External Catalog not working in SRM 7.0

I also enabled "Accept third Party Cookies" in IE also. but still there is no luck. vendor URL accepts only one parameter "BUYER_ORGANIZTION". please advice to solve this issue.

Hi,
I think it is catalog vendor side problem. Maybe they are checking additional parameters and raise exception when auto logon.
Please open notepad and build several test URL string. Copy&Past the string directly to the browser. Find which parameter is the problem. You can also ask vendor to check their logon fail log.

SRM 7.0 Catalog (Web Service) Portal Links Not Working

Hi,
Following an upgrade to the latest Service Packs for SRM, we are encountering an issue with dead links to Catalogs (both Internal MDM and External).
Prior to the upgrade the normal catalog (webservice) links, as defined in the SPRO (Supplier Relationship Management>>SRM>>Master Data>>Content Management>>Define External Webservices) would open a new window to either our Internal MDM Catalog or an external punch-out catalog.
After the upgrade these links are now "dead", no window opens and neither of the Catalogs open.
We are on the following release levels:
Patch set SP 06 patch 01(Build 7.1.04.124 ). SMP is SP07 Patch01 (Build 7.1.04.134)
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Mike

Hi Jason,
I am also facing the same concern. I have done all the below configurations
1.) As per the SAP note 1643978, I have configured the Launch catalog in LPD_CUST
2.) And the group access has also been assigned to the user as per the above note
3.) In reference to the folder permissions on portal content, the access has been given according to the note - 1260119
After doing all the changes, the external punch out catalog links are still dead. Could you please advise if there is any other activity which needs to be performed. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have tried transferring my iphoto library to my external hard drive and it's not working.

I have a Macbook Pro. I have recently gotten into photography and to save space on my internal hard drive, I bought an external hard drive to keep all of my photos on. It's a Toshiba with 1 TB of memory. I have searched and searched on how to transfer my iphoto library to it and I'm getting the same answer. I open two finder windows, one with pictures open, the other with the external hard drive open. I have tried to drag the iphoto library icon to the second window to the external hard drive and instead of it staying there and loading everything it gives me the circle with a diagonal line through it and floats back up to the pictures finder window. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I really need help!

you need to make sure the drive you are moving the iphoto library to is formatted in the mac OS extended journaled format
you can view and/or change this in the disk utility which is found in the utilities folder in applications within finder.
on the left side select the external HD and then click on the erase tab it will show you the format it's currnetly in, if it's not mac OS extended journaled select that from the drop down and then hit the button that says erase.
after the erase is complete try the article i gave you again to move the location of the lbrary and it should work.
good luck

Workflow not working in SRM upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0

External link to location in PDF not working

I can't get an external link to open to a specific place in a PDF. I have tried the code for named destination and a page number and nothing is working. I actually found some good documentation on line that should me all the parameters that could be passed, unfortunately, they aren't working.
Here are the ways I have test linking into the PDF:
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#nameddest=LogO ut

http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#22
The link is stored on a wiki... but I didn't think that would make a difference. The PDF was created using Acrobat 9.0 from a Word document. I have made sure that the document does not have any security. Please let me know if you have any suggestions that might help me get this to work.
I know this is shocking, but I did actually read the documentation. LogOut is a bookmark I made with no spaces in the name. I'm not sure what else to try. If you have some examples or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
Take care.

The link was copied from a post I'd made to AUC from back in 2008; so, yes it can/does work.
I've used PDF Open parameters with MSIE 5, 6, 7, & 8.
During use of any particular MSIE release I always keep it updated as MS rolls out the updates.
Used Adobe Reader 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 - each updated as Adobe rolled out the updates.
Used Acrobat 5 (Full), Pro 6, 7, 8, 8 3D, 9 (Pro Extd).
Again, as updates are rolled out they are applied.
Just checked again with:
MSIE 6 (fully updated) & Adobe Reader 9.3.2
MSIE 8 (fully updated) & Acrobat 3D (8.2.2)
MSIE 8 (fully updated) & Acrobat 9 Pro Extd (9.3.2)
For all, the open parameter performed as expected.
Source PDF's Initial View is page only.
Rendered in browser showing bookmarks and opened to the specified page.
As to MSIE add-ons; this varies with the MSIE release.
IE 6 shows less than IE 8.
Various threads at Acrobat User Community may be informative.
For keyword search: "open parameters"
For Author search: "daka630"
At AUC Forum Search:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/search.php
5th post to this thread has the link I used above as well as some others -
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15061
n.b., tried the links you provided - nothing appears in the browser - same if I delete # and all subsequent characters after the file extension.
As to "installs" - basically, I run with the out-of-the-box installs; nothing "custom".
One thing that is common to the Adobe Reader/MSIE 6 & the various Acrobat/MSIE8 checks I just did is that for "Documents" in the Preferences the 'Open Setting' of "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" is not ticked.
-- just an end note here, open parameters have been around since at least Acrobat 4.x
Be well...

SharePoint2013 referencing external JS file in page layout not working

Hi,
I have created a custom page layout. In that custom page layout I have many HTML markup and controls like Dropdowns, hyperlinks (hrefs) etc.
Clicking on hyperlink hides or shows a div. The HTML markup and controls shows up fine when I create a page from page layout.
The issue I am having is the JavaScript to hide or show div is in external JS file, which I am referencing in the page layout as below:-
<SharePoint:ScriptLink name="~sitecollection/Style Library/Scripts/my.js"
runat="server" />
But when I click on “hyperlinks (hrefs)” the script in external js file doesn’t fire.
I also tried using
<script src="../../mysite/Style%20Library/Scripts/my.js"></script>
I even tried below:-
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="</script">https://sharepoint.com/mysite/Style%20Library/Scripts/mys.js"></script>
<SharePoint:ScriptLink id="ScriptExternalJs" runat="server" Name="~SiteCollection/Style Library/Scripts/my.js" OnDemand="false" LoadAfterUI="true" Localizable="false" ></SharePoint:ScriptLink>
But nothing seem to be working, I am able to refer an external CSS file but
not JS file within the pagelayout under "PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" section.
Any idea what's wrongs?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please try to use the following statement:
<link id="Link1" href="<% $SPUrl:~SiteCollection/Style Library/Scripts/my.js%>" runat="server" type="text/script" />

Assigning authorization role to position in PP02 (SRM 5.0) not working

Hi,
We've run into a problem in our SRM 5.0 system that we're not sure how to solve.
We defined a role where we only set the BBP_APPROVAL_LIMIT attribute in the Personalization tab. It has no other transaction authorizations.
When we assign this role to the user directly the user inherits the BBP_APPROVAL_LIMIT as expected.
When we attempt to assign this same role to a position through PP02 and run the PFUD, the attribute values are not transferred to the user personalization attributes. Doesn't matter what we do, we can't seem to be able to get it to work.
Does anyone one have any experience with this that they could share?
Regards,
Jerry Martinek

Hello Yann,
Thank you for the reply.
This is one of the things that I'm trying to confirm which is whether it can be done. I was told that it does work and that they use PP02. But as we can't get it to work I wanted to know if anyone else is using this process and if yes, how do you do it.
If people mainly use the explicit user assignment via PFCG, do they manage it manually or systematically?
Thanks,
Jerry

SRM-MDM searchs not working

Hi,
Whem doing a search in our SRM-MDM by the item description (for example "pencil") some items are not shown. If we search them from the "MDM Data Manager" searchs work OK. The data of the items that are not shown (language etc.) seems to be OK.
Could it be any cache issue? Must something be done in order to refresh the searchs?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

First a basic check ...
In MDM Search UI check User-Specific Configuration -> Customize Search -> operators , this is possible that you might have different set of parameter in MDM Data manager for search and different set of parameter here.
Next you can check the SRM web service if you are using any specific "Mask" .
Thanks

Replace text from external source expression from AE CS6 not working in AE CC

We have used some expressions in an AE CS6 project to fill text from an external file. Here's an example:
try{
/* "mypath" must be absolute to data file */
myPath = "file:////nynfile1/Production/Egg/Marque/data.txt";
$.evalFile(myPath);
/* Use [0,1,2] for array offset value(Name, Date, Time)*/
eval(thisComp.name)[0];
}catch(err){
/* Display if data error found*/
"text not found";
It works fine in CS6. When we open the file in AE CC, the expressions can't find the data.txt file to pull text from. All we get is the "text not found" error. We stepped through debug and the data.txt file doesn't open/isn't found.
What up with that?

This was just for setting up, but here's the file's contents:
var banner01 = ["Name01", "Date01", "Time01"];
var banner02 = ["Name02", "Date02", "Time02"];
var banner03 = ["Name03", "Date03", "Time03"];
var banner04 = ["Name04", "Date04", "Time04"];
var banner05 = ["Name05", "Date05", "Time05"];
var banner06 = ["Name06", "Date06", "Time06"];
var banner07 = ["Name07", "Date07", "Time07"];
var banner08 = ["Name08", "Date08", "Time08"];
var banner11 = ["Name11", "Date11", "Time11"];
var banner12 = ["Name12", "Date12", "Time12"];
var banner13 = ["Name13", "Date13", "Time13"];
var banner14 = ["Name14", "Date14", "Time14"];
var banner15 = ["Name15", "Date15", "Time15"];
var banner16 = ["Name16", "Date16", "Time16"];
var banner17 = ["Name17", "Date17", "Time17"];
var banner18 = ["Name18", "Date18", "Time18"];
