Groupware : SAP CRM 4.0 to MS outlook (Public Folder)

Hi all,
We are trying to get the groupware integration working and have been running into some issues.
Currently i am able to send BPs from SAP CRM to MS Outlook (public contact folder)
But when i create a new contact in the public contact folder and select the appropriate Category, the contacts dont get replicated to SAP CRM.
Also when i make any changes to the existing contacts which were synchronized from CRM, they dont get replicated to SAP CRM.
Any direct would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hemant

Hemant,

SAP CRM E-Mailing with MS Outlook 2007

Hi everyone,
I just came to know that some people have trouble with E-Mail and MS Outlook 2007. Things have changed a little in the MS Office World and so the One-to-One E-Mail integration will not continue to work without a little change to your MS Outlook 2007 Installation.
Please have a look at this post to make you aware of the changes needed.

HI Arno,
I asked our CRM guys but because we are doing workforce management and that required server based integration..
Do you have any idea for that ?

How to determine actual path/location of Outlook Public Folder favorite?

I have several end users that use the Public Folder favorite system in Outlook. Our Public Folder structure is very large and messy which makes finding these favorites difficult to find. When I go to the properties of the favorited folder, it does not find
the actual path.
Is there a PowerShell command or some tool that will allow me to determine the path?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Public Folders can be set as a Favorite Folder at 2 levels in Outlook. one within the Public Folder structure and one within the Navigation Pane:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/281
Seems you are using the favorite in the Public Folder structure. We can find the folder path by right-clicking and select Properties, and then select
Summary tab. Now you can see the path from the Folder Path field:
Hope this helps.

Outlook Public Folder access and permissions

How do I add an account to a public Folder and grant management permissions to that account?

Hi,
To add permissions for client users to access Public Folder content, we can use Exchange Management Shell to add it as what ManU PhiliP posted.
Alternatively, we can use the Public Folder Management Console to add public folder permissions for a client user. For detailed steps about this, please refer to the following official article:

SAP CRM Groupware Connector for Exchange on 64 Bit platform

Hi All,
We have successfully installed SAP CRM 5.0 on Windows 2003 x64 Server R2 SP2.
OS, Database and SAP Kernel are all 64 Bit enabled.
Now we are trying to install SAP CRM Groupware Connector on the same server.
But we encounter problems with SAP Groupware Connector 2.1 for MS Exchange installer (setup.exe), which stops with the following error:
Required Software missing:
- MS SOAP Toolkit
Installation cannot be continued !
But SOAP Toolkit 3.0 definitely is installed.
Obviously the Groupware Connector is still 32 Bit.
It is the only available download in SAP Marketplace i could find.
The CD is located in the same area where the CRM installation CDs can be downloaded.
SAP does not differ between 32 Bit and 64 Bit versions.
I'm wondering if it is possible, to run a 32 Bit Groupware Connector in a 64 Bit environment.
Does anybody have experience with such a configuration ?
Or is there a 64 Bit enabled version available for download ? Where can i find this version ?
Thank you in advance.

I got an answer from SAP Support:
SAP still recommends to use 32-bit system OS in order to avoid any future confusions.
So we have to install another 32 Bit Server only for the Groupware Connector.
Thx for your interest.

What port is used by Groupware connector to communicate with SAP CRM?

Hi!
I've been trying to find what port is used by groupware connector when it is communicating with SAP CRM, but all I've found is that is uses SOAP over HTTP.
Our security team only wants to open the relevant port and I haven't found the port....
Does anybody know what port is used?
Thanks!
rollo

What gives you an impression that a seperate program is called to write file at OS level.....it could be the program running behind the F110.....try checking the same...and look for GUI_DOWNLOAD in the program.

Integration of CRM Enterprise Calendar with Microsoft Outlook

Hi Guys,
I need some info regarding the outlook calendar synch with the SAP CRM 4.0 calendar.
Right now we have the synch working with the mobile client and the outlook. It synchronized the task and activity data from the mobile sales client to the outlook.
Now I want the same functionality with the CRM online server and the outlook.
So whenever we create an activity like calling a person X on certain date the event should be synchronized on the responsible person outlook calendar.
For this to work do we still need to download all the BP from the server to the outlook public/private folder?
Do we also need to download all the customizing objects?
When I searced in help.sap
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/en/cc/89607aaa6311d497cd00a0c92f27cb/content.htm
I found that there is SAP MAPI Service Provider which integrates the outlook calendar with the R/3 calendar.
So can we use the same provider to integrate the CRM calendar with the Outllok.
So can I know how different it is to the Groupware integrator.

ICI - How to display custom error messages in SAP CRM

Hello,
we are working on a custom Contact Center which interfaces with SAP CRM Version 7 with Enhancement Package over ICI.
The basic call functions like accepting, hanging up, holding and retrieving are fully implemented and are working already.
Our goal is to display error messages in the CRM so that clients know there is something wrong, for example why he can't be log in successfully (e.g. the telephony server isn't reachable).
We already found the ICI Documentation file which provides us the CRM SOAP error codes and tried to send SOAP Fault messages, but never got
them to screen.
Please find an attached example screenshot what we mean exactly, reproduced by trying to make a call with CRM user while BCM CDT isn't
running in the background.
Regarding to this topic we've the following questions:
- Is it possible to display custom error messages on the CRM or is this functionality limited to SAP?
- Could you provide us some further information on how to use this feature exactly (implementation details?) and how the SOAP XML should look like to get it work?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards

I need to create an entity adapter and attach an error handler with the adapter? or can i handle that in the event handler itself. I coulnt find any api for handling errorsYou can do it both ways but since we are talking about event handler now, then in 9.x you need to extend com.thortech.xl.client.events.tcBaseEvent class for creating a event handler. In tcBaseEvent class there are various flavors of handleError method. So use that as per my note earlier and you should be good.

SAP CRM - no confidence in UI by SAP?

After reading this blog and looking at the article attached to the blog. I had an interesting question:
Can Rich Internet Applications finally be accepted as a credible application development platform for SAP?
Does SAP have any confidence in its own CRM software? Right now SAP is touting how easy to use the new version of SAP CRM is, and yet this article implies they don't use their own product's user interface.
Now I know the eSOA mantra says this shouldn't matter, but I would say this is one of those cases where it doesn't. If the vendor won't/can't use their own CRM software because the UI is too ugly/clumsy or other reason, why should I as a customer.
As a customer I don't want to purchase a CRM software and then have to purchase a better UI to go on top of the software. I might as well spend the money on software that might have a better UI perceived by my sales folks(think siebel, salesforce.com, sugarcm, etc), and spend those dollars on integration instead. It's a lot cheaper to do integration work, than completely rewrite the UI to meet my users needs.
I'm also wondering why SAP would even send this message by displaying this article on SDN? I'm sure if the guys at oracle saw this article, we would see a press release from that says something of the like:
"Even SAP acknowledges, that SAP CRM is too difficult to use".
I bring this up because we are selling use of SAP CRM 2007 in house right now, and it makes it harder for me to sell the solution to my business users, if there are conflicting messages on the market.
Take care,
Stephen

> Wow, you almost have the "nightmare" scenario when it comes to maintenance. I just have to ask what functional areas (high level) did you implement? Was it the marketing module?
I can tell you...
We were using Mobiles Sales with activities, campaigns, sales documents and master data and we switched that to CRM 2005 and Portal (+ adding BI reporting functionality with BI-CRM content). For the Java part there's enough said (by me) already, I won't start again with that (mess). The CRM looked pretty well at first sight but devil's in the detail.
> The marketing module in CRM 40 was so unstable on SP08 that basically we ditched the application and wrote something custom in the SAP GUI instead. Any t-code that had over 400 related notes(segment builder) is just a nightmare not to mention just plain bugs in the PCUI that we weren't willing to wait a month for fixes.
Well.. people have always be VERY helpful, especially the guys and girls in India were doing a very good job at fixing bugs - once the communication was done via email and not via phone...;) But you're right - it's taking sometimes too much time to get a fix and yet-another-note.
> I still think the SAP GUI sometimes beats the web based interfaces, once you learn how to use it. The problem was that everyone got obessed with zero-client installations and forgot about the benefits of "specialized" clients. Now everyone is basically trying to make a web browser work like a desktop client, which puts you back full circle.
Everyone THINKS it's zero installation but in fact you have to configure proxy exceptions, add/install certificates, enable/disable Javascript things, add trusted sites, (re-)configure firewalls on Laptops, delete browser caches, install SVG viewer and other "plugins", install and maintain security fixes for the browser etc. etc. and this on a distributed environment where our sales reps are spread over the whole world in different time zones. So the "zero-installation" is nothing but marketing flowery because the maintenance you needed to put into Mobile Sales is now needed for the browser - nice antagonism
> In would have been interesting to see how well SAP would have fared if they had made the mistake of making the original R/3 application 2-tier instead of a 3-tier client/server.
It's been like that @ R/2 times and I must tell you I loved the green screens (http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/R2-0.GIF and http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/SCREENO1.GIF)
