Thanks in advance
Guna

Hi Sekhar,
Can you please elloborate more what exactly you are looking for?
If you talking about New catalog items added into MDM then once you create or import catalog items in the repository then those will automatically visible in the catalog
If you are talking about schema modification then you need to take your catalog down but if you use the Master-Slave kind of configuration then your down time would be hardly of seconds which would be acceptable.

Multiple SRM Systems One SRM-MDM Catalog?

Hi
I'm currently upgrading our SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.01 with SRM-MDM Catalog 7.01. Is it possible to use one SRM-MDM Catalog in our non-production environment and connect multiple SRM systems to it?
For example our sandbox, development and QA SRM 7.01 systems would all connect to the same SRM-MDM Catalog 7.01.
Thanks.
Neil

Hi,
for non-production use and if it is just a catalog without custom coding running I see no problem in using one MDM server for multiple SRM systems (especially sharing one for sandboxes and dev). It is a setup I have seen multiple times and it worked always without problems.
You should set up different repositories for each SRM system so that you don't interfere with each others data (i.e. suppliers or other lookups tied to SRM).
You have to keep in mind that you have to upgrade all systems together. But you can always use separate MDM servers during the upgrade process and then consolidate onto one server when the upgrade is done.
If you are running custom coding with your MDM catalog I would recommend having a separate MDM system for the QA SRM in order to be closer to the production set-up when testing your custom solution.

How to connect from SRM system to Punch out Catalog

Hi all,
I would like to know connecting from SRM system to Punch out Catalog , do we require XI inbetween??

Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
There is an XML variant of the OCI interface as described in the OCI documentation attached. Using this you can use XML documents instead of plain HTTP for the OCI transfer. No specific configuration is required as a transformation agent is contained within the FUNCTION bbp_ws_mapoci_to_sc
map xml to oci structure
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_WS_DISPATCH_XML_MAPPING'
      EXPORTING
        iv_xml_type       = iv_xml_type
        iv_xml_document   = iv_xml_document
      TABLES
        et_oci_items      = et_oci_item_data
        et_longtext       = et_oci_longtext
      EXCEPTIONS
        xml_mapping_error = 1
        OTHERS            = 2.
In this xml mapping function we use a CALL TRANSFORMATION to perform the XML -> OCI mapping:
Transfrom OCI XML data via XSLT to RFC structures
    TRY.
        CALL TRANSFORMATION bbp_oci_xml_to_rfc
          SOURCE XML IV_XML_DOCUMENT
          RESULT sc_items = lt_sc_items.
      CATCH CX_ROOT INTO lr_exception.
     CATCH cx_xslt_runtime_error.
        RAISE xslt_failure.
    ENDTRY.
ENDIF.
Put mapped data into export strutures
LOOP AT lt_sc_items INTO wa_sc_item.
    IF NOT wa_sc_item IS INITIAL.
Hopefully this clarifies the possibility of using the XML variant of the OCI.
Regards,
Jason

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tejas,
Thank You for ur response.
I am deploying on SRM server with WAS 7.0 so I guess that is not the reason. If you can notice in the error it is trying to find some container which it is not able to find. Do you have any hint what this container is??
Also i would like to know what is the content of the SRMMDM20SP02_2_BP_SRM_MDM.sca. Does it gives us a UI like the Configuration UI?? If so can u please send me the link via which i can access it coz i didn't find any such link in the documents.
Thanks and Regards,

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
Regards
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 !

PO No range when we ink two SRM system with One ECC system

Hello Experts,
We have a client requirement to link Two SRM Systems with One ECC system.
In this case what number range we need to maintain in both SRM systems for PO.
-The number range of ECC PO should get update whenver the PO is transferred from any of the two SRM system.
-We have Extended classic scenario.
-Also PO Doc type is going to be same.
Can we handle this by increasing the buffer of the number range in one of the SRM system?
Any idea...pls help urgently.
Best Regards,
Anil
Edited by: anil.s.verma on Oct 1, 2010 4:33 PM

Hello Anil,
Being in Extended Classic Scenario (leading PO being in SRM, R/3 PO number range is concidered as external because PO number is given by SRM), the only solution for you is to:
1- give same number range interval for PO (internal in SRM system 1 and SRM system 2, external number range in R/3), e.g. 3100000000 - 3199999999
2- in SRM system 2, fill in current number with (for example) 3159999999 and let empty (or current value) in SRM system 1
3- assign, in each system for your concerned transaction type, number range as internal in SRM and external in R/3.
In this way, you will avoid overlaping in R/3 between PO numbers coming from SRM system 1 and SRM system 2
Regards.
Laurent.

JCO connection to SRM system - in Supplier collaboration 2.0 BP

Hi Friends,
We have deployed the Supplier Collaboration 2.0 Business Package on SAP Enterprise Portal 7.
After deployed, we need to configure the JCO to SRM System. We are not configuring for catalog, IHS, et.
Now, Under the 'Supplier Portal Administration'->'System Integration' Workset, There are 4 iViews which talks about the JCO, Integration to BP.
1. JCO Client Maintanance
2. External JCO connection configuration
3. Application maintenance
4. System type configuration
I searched for documentation in tthe sap.help.com, sdn, service.sap.com but nowhere anyone mentioned the step-by-step details.
Could anyone please let me know how integrate Backend to BP of Supplier Collaboration 2.0 with JCO's using the BP iViews.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks,
Raghavendra Pothula

Hi all,
Please advise if any of you managed to resolve your query? Im busy with Supplier Collaboration 4.0 BP u2013 and am completely new to the portal area. Would appreciate any advice? I went through the SAP documentation (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/55/c88265d15b4f0f9ee1653bc1146414/content.htm). So I was currently trying to set up RFC users for the systems, but not sure if Im on the right track. Would you be able to advise?
Thanks,

Get statuses of SC items - SAP SRM system

Hello guys
I would like to ask you for help.
Let suppose following situation in SAP SRM system
Approver received SC (shopping cart) with 2 items for approval. He marked first item as rejected, second one as approved. Then clicked submit.
I need to add a piece of a code to the code which handle click on the button submit. In this code I need to know which items were rejected. I tried to insert the code to implementation of the interface method
IF_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI~BBP_SC_CHANGE.
I used method
/sapsrm/cl_pdo_factory_sc_adv=>get_instance
which returns object
ro_instance
and then I called object's method
/sapsrm/if_pdo_do_apv_ext~get_process_info
which return structure
ls_wf_info
In this structure I was only able to find requested information (states for each item of SC) only when no operation was done on SC (it means only after code, which handle clicking on submit button, was executed).
Can somebody help me how to get information for each item of SC?

Error when trying to access CCM catalog in SRM QA enviornment

Hello Experts!
IN our SRM QA enviroment, CCM internal catalogs point to our CCM PRD catalog.
Recently a system copy was madre from PRD to QA, and now when we try to access the catalog in SRM QA enviroment, the following login error appears:
Logon Data
This server does not support HTTPS! It is therefore potentially unsafe to send your password
System <our production server>
Client:
User:

If I try to access the exact same catalog in PRD, no errors appear (it is the same link).
Can you point me in the right direction for solving this issue?
Thanks!

Hi,
You need to setup SSO you did in production system.

Hi , MESSAGE_TYPE_X dumps generated in SRM system ...

Hi all,
Large no. of MESSAGE_TYPE_X dumps generated in SRM system ...need solution for this dump.Looking forward for your suggestions...
Regards,
prakash

Hi Kalakatla,
Check all jobs running and probably ended by error, also check IDOC handling in BD71. The dump says something about token management. Possibly this is something with automatic user/password distribution to various systems. Your system landscape and/or architecture may have changed and something is not maintained accordingly.

How is goods receipt and invoice sent from backend system to SRM system?

Hi friends
How is goods receipt and invoice sent from backend system to SRM system?
Thanks
regards
Krishna

Hi Khan
BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and Clean_recrec_Up are background jobs to sync ecc and ebp.
BBPIV and MBGMCR are used to send goods receipt and invoice from srm to backend system
So we dont require any special idocs to send goods receipt and invoice from ecc to ebp.Are all handled by BBP_Get_status_2

Technical monitoring of SRM system

Hi,
I would like to get a list of components to monitor in an SRM system. This is so that we can do weekly checks on the system to ascertain its health. For e.g. I should check whether IPC is up, similarly IGS, Integrated ITS, etc. etc.
Is there a standard template available for this?
Regards,
Sanket

Hi Sanket,
I don't know if it still helps, but there is a Best Practice document for technical monitoring of SRM. It concerns monitoring of EBP, ITS (standalone), IPC, Business Connector, Requisite Catalog, J2EE Engine as well as configuration of the engines, agents, etc.
Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything about monitoring the integrated ITS...
You can find it at https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700007362432002E
Just in case you're still looking for it.

Unable to create a PO in SRM system

During cretion of PO in SRM system we are encountering the following situation:
Prior to that we have configured all the initial settings as below:
"Defining System landscape" on SRM side,(which updates the table BBP_BACKEND_DEST) we have defined it as type ERP_4.0 as we currently have an EhP4 backend .
We are getting the error msg: No customizing entry for "SRICLNT801' in table BBP_BACKEND_DEST when I try to create a PO in SRM Portal.
The following entries in BBP_BACKEND_DEST Table (this table is updated when Defining the System Landscape config) looks as below.
For Backend ECC Clnt - 801, Log System - ERICLNT801, RFC Destn - ERICLNT801 , RFC Dialog - ERICLNT801_DIALOG, Sys type -ERP_4.0
For SRM local clnt - 801, Log System - SRICLNT801, RFC Destn - SRICLNT801 , RFC Dialog - SRICLNT801, Sys type -LOCAL
Any clue on this ?? Its been a while now and i have no idea why is this occuring??

Hi there,
I had a further look at our database. Please see the following information.
in case of ECC EHP 4.0 the use of PI is mandatory. However, on your
on risk and keeping in mind that this is kind of a modification, you
could change the backend sys-type in table BBP_BACKEND_DEST back to
ERP_3.0; a further option would be to create an implementation in
the BADI BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE, to call a customer own driver during the
transfer of documents to the backend.
1) In case you run a EHP 4 in backend, you need to set system
   type ERP_4.0 in table bbp_backend_dest, which requires the use
   of PI.
2) As prerequisite for activitaing LOG_MM_P2PSE_1, you need to have
   EhP 4 installed in your ECC system, also the following business
   functions need to be activated:
   ESOA_OPS01, LOG_ESOA_OPS_2 and LOG_MM_CI_2
   (please also check the information and documentation about the BF
   in your backend ECC system)
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew
