Groupware Integration(Server synchronization) for CRM 7.0

Hi CRM Experts,
Iam trying to get into Groupware Integration for CRM 7.0 however all the documentation i can found on the maketplace are for older CRM versiones like crm 4.0 or 5.0?
maybe there wasnt any significant changes in that peticular function so the older documentation still works?
still if that the case do i download and install the mapbox, goupware connector and groupware connector proxy for the crm 5.0(since there none for crm 7.0) ?
iam a little lost here place advice
with kind regards

Hi Kalle,
You can use the same documentation for crm 5.0 and 4.0. You need to install the groupware connector and run trx. MIGRATE to use ABAP MAPBOX. Try to install the gw connector in a windows 2003 server as SAP asked me once. If you need any help let me know.

Integration Server URL for HTTPS

I want to configure SSL for our PI 7.0 system. I have:
- Configured SSL on the Java Stack and tested it. It works fine.
- Configured SSL on the ABAP and tested it. It works.
I know to enable HTTPS I need to change the following exchange profile parameter:
com.sap.aii.connect.secure_connections = messaging
I think I need to change the J2EE server
SAP XI AF CPA Cache to register with the http/https ports and the Fully qualified domain name (so to match the SSL Certificate).
The big question is:
Do I need to change the URL for the Integration Server (in the business system in the SLD)? For example:
https://<hostname>.domain.com/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
(where https is the default 443 so I don't have to specify the port).
Or can we just leave that as the default HTTP connection as below?:
http://<hostname>.domain.com/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
Any help is greatly appreciated since I don't have access to a sandbox and it is trial and error (with developers needing to use the system). Thanks!

I agree with Silvia here.
The entry can continue to point to the default port / default URL of the Integration Server as you would need to authenticate only the end point and not internal XI calls.
Also, if I remember correct, the SSL port is always one port higher than the default port both for J2EE and ABAP stack.
@Silvia : Nice to see ppl from SAP (especially the author of CTS+ article ) contributing on the XI forums. Need more people like you here

Problem by Maintaining a Business System for the Integration Server

Hi to all,
I have the following problem. I tried to change some Business systems configuration in SLD but accidentally deleted defined Business System for our Integration Server. After that I tried to create that business system again but I have the following error:
Integration Server already defined. There is already an integration server defined for the selected technical system. Please select role Application System.
Since than Im receiving the following error message when I try to refresh my adapter engine cache:
com.sap.aii.ib.server.abapcache.CacheRefreshException: Unable to find an associated SLD element
Do you know how can I define the Business System again currently I can't see it in SLD Business systems?
Ive also checked the IS URL (TR: SXMB_MONI) and it seems that its ok.
Regards
Naycho

Hi Naycho,
i think you have to clean up some sld rubbish
Go to SLD / Administration / Content Maintenance. Choose left side "all classes" or "landscape description" and right side "business system". Delete all entries you find for your business system, after that try to recreate it.

SLD: recreate deleted Business System of type Integration Server

Hi,
accidentally i deletet the business system of type "Integration Server" in the SLD. And i can't recreate it. It always says:
"Integration Server already defined There is already an integration server defined for the selected technical system. Please select role Application System."
Any ideas to create such a business system?
The old one isn't there in the list, after i deleted it.

Hi,
If you change/delete the host name of the Integration Server after the installation in either the SLD or the exchange profile, you must adjust it accordingly in the exchange profile or the SLD, respectively

CRM Outlook client based groupware integration

Hello ,
I am trying to set up client based integration between CRM and outlook ,
I've installed groupware integration software on my computer , I defined necessary settings in CRM calendar properties in Outlook.
Once I am trying to start synchronization ( from CRM side) I got error message :
"The current version of software components installed on your PC(3.039) us lower that minimally required one (3.040).Would you like to update it now?"
I press "yes" and go through update installation wizard. Once completed I press "Synchronize" again" and I get the same error message.
Thank you for your response,
Rika

Hello,
The problem is that when you say "yes" to upgrade you would expect the system to download the newest version from the internet. Unfortunately this is not correct, the system just grabs the file from the CRM server itself. In other words, if you don't download the newest version from the internet and upload it to the CRM server it won't work.
Check OSS note 1311110 how to put the newest sync version on the CRM server. After this you can redo the actions you described previously.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Joost

Groupware Integration in CRM 2007

Hello All,
How do I synchronize mails to the CRM Server from the outlook, and send reply's from there?
How can I do Seemless Synchronization from outlook to CRM and CRM to Oulook, I had maintained all the parameters, and followed the Docyumentation Guides
I had gone thorugh
1) Groupware Integration Guide
2) Groupware Connector
Can anyone of you help on these?

Martin,
1) We don't plan on going live with client groupware, as it is hard enough to get users to login to CRM and do their work, yet alone remind them to synch up their calendar.
2) We are live with CRM 2007 integrated to Notes 7. Thank you for your assistance during that process.
We currently are connected to three notes servers. We have a second phase to deploy the integration to at least one remote notes server over the WAN.
In the next couple months we plan on migrating over to Domino 8.5. Our Notes admin have upgraded the dev notes box to 8.5 but we are still using Notes 7 mailboxes and a notes 7 client on the connector. The only issue we had was to restart the connector and proxy in order for it work.
Thank you again for all the help you have provided and soliciting this feedback.
Thank you,
Stephen

Email Integration VS Groupware Integration in CRM 4.0

We have a requirement to replicate certain business activity types created in CRM thru' Portal interface to Lotus Notes as Calendar entries. We are in the process
of configuring the Groupware integration part to accomplish this.
The questions are...
1) Do we have to download all account and their contacts from CRM into the public folder of Lotus Notes for the successful creation of CRM activities
as Lotus Note Calendar entries?
2) Can we filter the replication of activities to Lotus Notes by their transaction types? We need to send only certain activity types to Lotus notes.
We have lots of Email notifications to be sent to the company's Lotus Notes Email IDs as well as some external Email IDs. If an Action or Workflow is used
for these Email notifications it is my understanding that the SMTP comes with SAP CRM will take care of this Email routing. The groupware integration is not a
must for such Email notifications and it s required only for the replication of Activities to Lotus Notes. Please clarify.
Please let me know the details of configuration or any cookbooks available for the configuration of Email Integration and Groupware integration in CRM 4.0.

Hi,
If you plan to use Server Side Groupware Integration then,
1) Do we have to download all account and their contacts from CRM into the public folder of Lotus Notes for the successful creation of CRM activities
as Lotus Note Calendar entries?
>>The answer would be "YES".However we cannot download Business Activities in bulk to Groupware.The Business Activity has to be individually created and synchronized.
2)Can we filter the replication of activities to Lotus Notes by their transaction types? We need to send only certain activity types to Lotus notes.
>>YES. This is possible by maintaining the used transaction type in the table view CRMV_ICAL_ACTM.
Iam not sure about Email notifications.
But you can create Activities in CRM and invite attendees and these attendees will get the Meeting requests provided the "Calendar Maintenance" flag is set for them.
For more information please check "Groupware Integration Setup and Load Guide" available in help.sap.com.
Please read through SAP Note 908571 for more technical information.

CRM 5.2 groupware integration error....

Hi,
I've set up Server side groupware integration of CRM 5.2 with MS outlook. The BPs are getting exchanged from CRM to Outlook and vice versa.
Activities and Tasks are flowing from CRM to Outlook.
But when Outlook tasks and activities are saved, the connector creates an error dump file. This is created for new tasks and activities as well as for any changes to tasks and activities with source as CRM.
The error message is:
<subject>Organizer's mail id is not mapped to a business partner in CRM online</subject>
<description>Organizer's mail id is not mapped to a business partner in CRM online</description>
The employee is maintained in Org Structure with email ID. Are there any other setting to be maintained for email ID mapping??
Thanks!
Cheers,
Aarthi.

Pls check the following:
1) Check Groupware Connector locks:
Check the Current Locks in the AdminTool.exe, that is available in the Connector installation folder. Check if the current user (from which the appointment or contact change is triggered) is locked. If the user is locked, attempt unlock user, however if the user continues to be in the locked state, report the problem to the components EP-KM-CRM-EXC (MS Exchange) or EP-KM-CRM-LOT (Lotus Domino).
2) Check UserList.xml:
Open the UserList.xml, that is available in the connector installation folder and check the availability of the current useru2019s id (SMTP address of the organizer from which the appointment or contact change is triggered).
If the user id does not exist in the file, provide an update for the corresponding Business Partner from CRM. Before giving the update check if the smtp address is assigned for that partner in the Address Dependent Communication section. If not, assign the correct email address and provide an update for the Business partner, After that update check if the id is included in this file.
u2022     If the ID is included in UserList.xml, restart the connector service and provide an update for that appointment or contact in groupware and check if this is transferred to CRM.
u2022     If the ID is not included in the UserList.xml, even after the update of Business Partner from CRM, report the problem to the CRM-MW-GWI-GWA component.
3) Check Applist.xml:
a)     Open the Applist.xml, that is available in the connector installation folder and check the availability of appid=ACT.
If that is not available,
Navigate to the u201CMaintain Groupware Object Selection Fieldsu201D and u201CMaintain Groupware Object Selection and Retrievalu201D IMG views, and check if ACT is available there. If not, maintain BUPA information over there. And trigger the download of GWA_GWO_SELRET. (To get help regarding this, refer the Groupware Integration setup and load guide). After that download is complete, restart the connector service. After that, check if ACT is available in applist.xml. If not, report the problem to CRM-MW-GWI-GWA component.
b)     Check if the category you have entered in the category field of the Appointment or Task, starts with CRM_ACT. If not, prefix the category with CRM_ACT. (To create Master category list, refer the Groupware Integration setup and load guide)
3) Check Email ID u2013 USERLIST mapping:
Select the email ID of the organizer in the Appointment or Task. Navigate to the MBMANDTSTORE table, and select the record for which MBKEY = {email-id} (all the email Ids will be present in Upper case) and MBGROUP = u2018USERLSITu2019.
u2022     If the record does not exist, check if the Email ID is assigned for that partner in the address dependent communication of the Business Partner master data. If not, assign the correct email ID and save this change in the Business Partner application. Check if this record can be found after this change.
u2022     Otherwise report the problem to CRM-MW-GWI-GWA component.

SAP CRM Groupware Integration - Create appointments on mobile phone.

Hi all
We have implemented the serverside groupware integration with CRM 2007 and Exchange.
Usually the appointments in Outlook are created with category
"CRM_ACT_001". Unfortunately some Mobile Phones (like the iPhone) are not
able to set the category of an appointment.
Our users usually create their Outlook appointments on their mobile.
So we had to customize the GWAdapter to let through all activities from
groupware (without filtering for the category).
To do so we changed the spro entry "Maintain Groupware Object Selectionand Retrieval":
- From: ACT Categories CRM_ACT*
- To: ACT Categories *
Unfortunately this causes a lot of problems:
- The category of the activity in CRM got deleted everytime you change the appointment in outlook.
- When you set a meeting in Outlook to "private" the activities in
CRM AND Outlook are deleted automatically.
Does anyone had similar problems? How can you synchronize the calender on the mobile phone with CRM?
Thanks in advance.
Marco

Checked the issue with SAP.
You cannot synchronize the appointments without giving an category. On iphone and most other smartphones you cannot chose a category.

Hi Peter & Stephen

Re: Link between sap crm 2007 with lotus 8
Posted: Oct 23, 2008 10:30 PM    in response to: Naveen Raju       E-mail this message      Reply
Hi Naveen,
thanks for your detailed description. This is exactly the way how the Client GWI is getting set up. one little remark from my side on the steps.
The user field are not required to be filled if you use Lotus Notes. this is only for the case of MS Outlook where you can start the synch from the OL Screen as well.
The password field is not used with either groupware system. So you leave it blank and with the first replication run you are asked to type (and maybe save) your password. it is there as the application is shared with Mobiel sales as well and therfore we could not get rid of it.
Supported platforms
In general both the server and client GWI were tested with Lotus 8.0 and CRM 7.0.
For server GWI Domino 8 is already supported for greater CRM 5.0, so should work with LD 8.0.
The installation guide for GWI is available here ...
