Extraction in SOA scenario

Hi,
I heard that unlike R/3 systems, the stanalone SAP systems like TMS systems which i based on SOA has Business Object levels instead of R/3 tables. If that is case, can somebody throw light on what is Business object levels are about ? And if there are no tables how can we craete Datasource to extract data into BW.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Rose.

Hi Pradeep,
Here is the step by step procedure for data extraction.Follow it.
1. Go to RSA1 tcode..(In that select Data Source tab in the left side window))
2. select ur application component ...and rightclcik it and Create Data Source.
3. in that you need to select master data or transactional data options..for example here i'm telling abt tansactional data..
4. now specify your flat file name in your data source extraction tab..
5. if you want you can specify the field names also in the fields..
6.now activate it..
7.and again select that data source (which you created..) right clcik it and select Create Infopackage..
9. here you need to schedule it...(this means.. your data will load into PSA)
10. now goto Info Povider tab>Create a data target with required fields... select your Target> right clcik it.. and select CREATE TRANSFORMATIONS-->
11. now give your DataSource name.. and souce system name...... and
12..and do the manual mapping.. otherwise.. .(if you gave info objects in he data source , then...atomatically it will map the fields.)
13..activate it..
14 now again select your data target and select Create Data Tansfer Poces..
15. Activate it.. and Execute it..
Hope this helps

User audit trail in a SOA scenario

Hi All,
In a SOA scenario when using a composite application calling many webservices who on their turn call asynchronous jms calls to backend applications. How can you audit the user trail? So can you tell of all the backend transactions touched by this SOA scenario who was responsible of changing the data.
To illustrate the issue:
The typical SOA scenario, we have a web application running in a portal, the logged on portal user is accessing this web application. The web application is calling web services using the logged on user credentials. The webservices call an asynchronous message in a message oriented middleware solution using a service user. This asynchronous message triggers a bapi in R/3 using this service user. In the logging of the bapi call in R/3 the bapi is called by the service user and not the portal user id.
Can somebody point me to articles regarding this topic or best practices?
regards,
Richard

Thanks Abhishek,
The first link was helpfull but actually underlines the problem that I have. The second link has no relevance to the problem.
But if we zoom in on de first link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/cb/b0ceb823984a62bf017a42179af99a/frameset.htm
This is about the security on JMS service.
So the question remains how do you deal with an audit trail if the user calling webservices is different than the service user calling the bapi.

Richard

Generic extraction

Hi,
in generic extraction in which scenarios you extract data from table,view,infoset query,FM
sridhar

Transparent Table
If you're wishing to create a generic DataSource based on a single Transparent Table in the source R3/ECC system, then using that table as the source for your generic DataSource would be appropriate because it will expose all of the columns in that table to your generic extraction structure. There is one exception to this and that is, if you have more than one date field (e.g. Created On and Changed On dates) that you're going to use for generic delta. Pool/Cluster tables and structures wouldn't be allowable for this type of generic DataSource setup.
View on Transparent Tables
If your requirement is to create a generic DataSource based on multiple Transparent Tables in your source R3/ECC system, then a view would be appropriate. You can either use SAP delivered views in the source R3/ECC environment or create a custom view. The same exceptions (generic delta on more than one date field, pool/cluster tables and structures).
Function Module
A custom Function Module can be coded for the extraction of data for a generic DataSource. This type would be appropiate if you're extracting data from pool/cluster tables or structures. Another use for a Function Module as the source for a generic DataSource would be if you're going to use more than one data field for a generic delta. Finally, a Function Module would be used if there is some transformational-type logic required to be done on the extracted data before it is passed to BW.
InfoSet Query
An InfoSet (not to be confused with an InfoSet in BW) query in a source R3/ECC environment, is created in tocde SQ01, and is a way of creating "quick-and-dirty" reports with summarized values, derived values, et. al. This can be used as the basis for a DataSource, if the queries are already built. If not, then a Function Module can perform and necessary aggregations, derivations or other transformational-type logic, instead of creating a query. I say this because I'd highly discourage using this as a source for a generic DataSource because InfoSet queries are usually extremely inefficient and can consume a lot of the valuable system resources.

how to receive in SAP via WS this could be possible but only for the demo...

How to integrate a sales process across multiple ERP systems with SOA?

Over time we have merged with multiple companies that used to run on their own ERP system. In the past we concerted them to our own R/3 instance. Having recently upgraded from R/3 4.6 to ERP 6.0, we want to transition to a SOA architecture for integrating stand-alone ERP systems. We are looking for best practices on how to start this transition; i.e., how to use SOA to implement an Order-to-Cash process across separate ERP systems.
Here is our scenario:
The same products are sold through ERP system A and ERP system B. However, each system represents a different company code with its separate manufacturing plants. Both systems evolved independently and presently have separate master data. How do you enable a sales process that dynamically (depending on inventory availability) gets the product either from a plant on system A or B? How do you implement a triangular sale that covers both ERP systems?
I am looking forward to learn from your experiences and your advice.

Hi Bernard,
Like most SOA scenarios, first your scenario requires a detailed fit gap analysis to see which of your existing ERP systems best meet which business process that you want to accomplish at an organisation level. It is only after that, that you can decide which capabilities of SAP SOA can you leverage and how.
Broadly speaking, SAP's SOA paradigm provides several approaches which you could use depending on your scenarios. For example, if you only need a brokerage between two or more systems (updating or retrieval of data) either synchronously or asynchronously, your best bet is PI (preferably 7.1 because of its ESR and Services Registry). On the other hand, if you require a new application that acts as a controller of flow or processing across various systems, you could use the Composition Environment which provides you with a toolset to build composite applications across various systems (for instance, by registering services from multiple systems on the Services Registry, and then consuming it from say a WebDynpro application).
The following document might provide you with more insight on this:

Execute BDC by xi scenario

HI all,
I have a requirement in which I have to execute BDC in ECC5.0 system, this is to be automatically done once the xi scenario is configured in XI Development server.
In otherwords, once xi scenario is executed succesfully in xi development server, automatically BDC has to run in ECC5.0 server.
I hope am clear.
Is it possible and how it can be acheived?
Plz suggest me.

HI all,
Let me explain you my requirement.
My system landscape is R34.7EE, XI DEV, ECC 5.0.
User uploads data to a z table in 4.7, this data has to be extracted by XI scenario and create a text file with only certain fields. (not all fields are necessary). And one more text file is generated at ECC thru some program, these two text files shuld be mixed with some condition and upload to another table in ECC.
this is the secnario.
NOw user uploads data only in z table of 4.7 and remaning process is to be automated, atlast if user checks the corresponding table in ECC, the data is to be uploaded.
I didnt understand how the integration happens between these systems n communication happens back n forth.
Please share ur ideas on this...
Plz tell me if i m not clear.

API Help -- Extract method results in Catstrophic failure!

Hi all,
We're trying to implement the HFM api to pull data out into a CSV. When we run HsvData.Extract, the call returns an exception:
Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
I'm not sure what this means and I can't find any help on the 'net. Our extract call looks like:
hsvLoad.Extract(dataFilePath, logFilePath, settings);
settings is an object array that looks like this before we call Extract:
settings {object[20]}
[0] 2
[1] ";"
[2] "LogFile.log"
[3] false
[4] false
[5] false
[6] 1
[7] 2009
[8] int[12] //selected periods, 67108864 - 67108875 (Jan - Dec)
[9] int[2] // selected entities, 0 and 1
[10] int[1] //selected parents, 0
[11] int[4] //selected accounts 0 - 3
[12] int[0]
[13] int[0]
[14] int[0]
[15] int[0]
[16] int[0]
[17] int[0]
[18] false
[19] false
items 12 - 19 are default, we don't change them. The data file is empty and the log file says "0 records extracted". If I try to Extract from the UI selecting the same items (accounts, years, application, etc), I get the full results.
Can anyone tell me what the Catastrophic failure means? Are some of our settings mapped wrong? I can post additional code if that helps.
Thanks,
Shawn

PI 7.1, ECC 6.0 EP3, CE 7.1, and ES Bundles. SR question

Hi everyone,
We have a ECC 6.0 Enhancement Pack 3, PI 7.1 (using the ESR and SR here), and CE 7.1 sandbox enviroment.
I'm having difficulty getting the Enterprise Services available as part of Enhancement Pack 1, 2, and 3 to show up in the Service Registry.
We are following the guide "CE, ESR, AND DISCOVERY SYSTEM BUILDING AN END-TO-END ENTERPRISE SOA SCENARIO", https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/108ef7ba-8abd-2a10-f787-d5f29c5f1b88
All of the references to CE we have been replacing with PI since we want to use the SR that came with PI instead of CE.
We can get all the way up to step 6 in section 3.3 where it tells us to use LPCONFIG to create a logical port pointing to the Service Registry. We we run this tcode we get a message telling us to go to SOAMANAGER to perform the operation however I cant seem to find any documentation telling how to do this. I also dont understand why this step is needed.
Fundamentally, I do understand that ECC 6.0 is the provider for all of the Enterprise Webservices and that we need to perform configuration there to tell it how to publish those services to the SR so that they may be available to the consumer applications.
Also, if we are planning to use PI as a ESB, does this change any of how we might configure things?

I found this link on how to create a logical port in SOAMANAGER
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/cc8fd368c873dfe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
When I follow the directions, I do not see a 'Call Parameters' tab. Any idea where this might be?

Importing the ES Bundle webservices into the Service Registry of PI

Experts,
We have an ECC 6.0 Enhancement Pack 3, PI 7.1, and CE 7.1 landscape and are having some trouble getting the Enterprise Web Services that come with EP3 to show up in the Service Registry that came with PI.
We are following the guide "CE, ESR, AND DISCOVERY SYSTEM BUILDING AN END-TO-END ENTERPRISE SOA SCENARIO", https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/108ef7ba-8abd-2a10-f787-d5f29c5f1b88

We can get all the way up to step 6 in section 3.3 where it tells us to use LPCONFIG to create a logical port pointing to the Service Registry. We we run this tcode we get a message telling us to go to SOAMANAGER. I found the following URL
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/cc8fd368c873dfe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
That describes how to do this however when we go into the NWA we do not see a 'Call Parameters' tab.
Basically it looks like the process is as follows:
1) On ECC 6.0, use Sm59 to create a RFC connection.
2) On ECC 6.0, use WSPARAM to create a Enterprise Registry parameter
3) From PI, launch SOAMANAGER to create a logical port
4) ON ECC 6.0, use WSPUBLISH to select the webservices we want to show up in the Service Registry.
Does this sound like the correct method?

I should add, this is the error message that we are getting:
SoapFaultCode:1 Cannot create implementation instance. Nested message:

Can we call brfplus (ecc) from brfplus (crm) ?

Hi Guys,
We have two brms connectors in brfplus - Netweaver BRM or External
can I use the external one to call brfplus (let's say on ecc) from a brfplus on crm ?
Or should we use a different approach ?
Thank you,
Regards,
Michal Krawczyk

When talking about a central BRFplus system you have to distinguish between design time and runtime.
With DSM you have one design time and can deploy decision services to several systems (without transport) which ensures an optimal governance of your business rules in your whole landscape. You don't need to transport the rule systems. But here the generated code is executed in your local systems: ERP, CRM...
Does a central BRFplus system make sense. This is difficult to answer. Usually a decision service is called from an application (SAP standard or custom development) and so the rule system uses the data types of the system and local execution guarantees performance.
But is possible, that a decision service needs input from other systems (data or calculations from otehr decision services). Such scenarios should be seen like SOA scenarios exposing their functionality as a set of services.
So my question is why you want centralization. Do you want a central development, governance and deployment? Then DSM is the answer and established a central source of truth executed on various systems. Or do you have many decision services on various systems working together in a single service call? In this case you tie the systems together in terms of releases, availability and so on. This has its costs and you should have good reasons for it.

Tobias

What are the components of ESA Enterprise Services Architecture

Thanks in advance

Hi Azeem,
The components of ESA could depend on the kind of solution you are trying to implement. However, if your question is regarding the tools that SAP provides to accomplish the ESA paradigm then they are the following:
1) Enterprise Services Repository (ESR): In a typical SOA scenario, this is where you would define your Service Interfaces. A corresponding WSDL file will be generated accordingly. At this point there is no backend implementation for your Interface.
2) Backend implementation: This Service interface in ESR can then be implemented in the backend system. Once implemented, SAP systems provide the option of directly publishing this implementation to a Services Registry.
3) Services Registry: This is a part of the NW Composition Environment and registers all web services published onto it. It is used as a single source for services for an organisation and has capabilities to configure governance processes for these services based on their classifications.
4) Composition Environment: This contains the tools one would need to consume the services from the Services Registry and create composite applications. It provides tools like WebDynpro, Guided Procedures, Visual Composer, CAF etc to accomplish the same.
Hope this helps.

Romit

Reduced matmas message type data transfer to mdm

Hello ,
I have scenario where I have reduced matmas message type (Zervicematmas) and it is linked to matmas05.I want to transfer this data using mdm_clnt_extr.
Uptill now my understanding is that mdm_clnt_extr can transfer data for standarad
message type as(DEBMDM,MATMAS).
if yes , pl suggest what config has to be done on ECC6.0.
thanks in advance,
Sharada

Thanks for the help,
As per your suggestion one can select sengment to be transfered at the time of creating a variant of Extraction.
My scenario is that I have to create a custome message type ZSERVICEMATMAS for transferring data to MDM and standard MATMAS will be used to trnasfer data to other third party system.
Now here MDM_CLNT_EXTR is able to give me idoc wrt MATMAS message type and MATMAS05 idoc type.
I want MDM_CLNT_EXTR should create idoc for ZSERVICEMATMAS meesage type and MATMAS05 is idoc type.
I have checked for exits is MATERIAL_extract FM where I can give this message type, but didnt got any clue.
Pl can you suggest on this.
