Workflow help need urgently in Material Master creation

hi All
I am trying to create a Workflow for creating Material Master views in ECC6 system . Initially Basic data 1 and basic data 2 is created by user and then my workflow is trigerred for subseuqent views .For e.g i need to route the workitem to a user to fiill in Purchasing data and then to another user to fill in accounting data after basic data 1 and basic data 2 is created by so called super user. I was trying to use business object BUS1001006 for this using method CREATEVIEWS but i am getting stuck here with using this method . I dont know how to use this method so that once the user clicks the workitem it should directly go to Puchasing tab view or Accounting tab view (depending on the kind of user currently accessing the workitem).
Any idea how to solve this problem ? It would really be helpful for me
Thanks for your help in advance

NEED Good Learning Material

OK here is the deal. I need to learn as much content networking as possible between now and the end of September. How did you everyone here learn? I need reference material. Any ideas or links welcome. Thanks in advance for the help.
bc

First, you need to know TCP/IP in details.
Any books, RFC on the subject is good.
Then, you need to know the mechanism of HTTP and other protocols like DNS and FTP.
Once you know this, you can read the CSS and/or CSM configuration material that you will find on this website.
The important things to remember from these manuals are the concepts and not the commands.
Like - what is a sticky connection ? On what parameter can you do stickyness ?
What type of loadbalancing are available ?
What's the difference between them ?
What's the advantage of one compare to another ?
By reading the configuration manual, you will see all these concepts. Try to understand them and ask yourself why we do it like this and not another way (if you know very well the protocols involved like TCP and HTTP, you should know why).
I hope this will help.
Gilles.

Need to upload material master.

Hi experts,
I am periodically required to change values in some fields from MRP 1,2,3 and 4 views. It takes hell of a time as there are many material codes..nearly 500 every month.
My question is is there any other quick input method like creating an excel file for that data and upload it?
I remember in mylast company for uploading material master the consultants provided us with that kind of query/data run.
Regards,
Sam

Dear ,
You need to run BDC in Back ground for uploading Material Master parametrs or new material creation .It can be Batch process.
Or Goto T-code MM17 mass change check tables there, and retreive data one by one from se16, then merge your file. or develop report detailed report for this then download.
Look up the following therads which is self explaintaory :
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/MaterialMasterUpload+Program
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/BDCProgramtoUploadMaterialMasterData+(MM01)
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/upload-material-master-finish-goods.htm
Just discuss with your ABAPer and provide him the Excell sheet with necessary parametrs .

Need XI Learning material

Hi,
Can any one provide me step by step procedure to learn XI.
Thank you
With regards
Satish

Hi Satish,
First i would like to welcome to the fascinating world of XI. If its just that you wanted to know more about sap xi....then the information below should definitely help you.
The best way to learn XI would be to make the maximum use of XI from its forums, weblogs, presentations, etc in SDN.
First I thought I will just give u the basic steps involved in doing any scenario in XI. This is very essential for a beginner.
First of all you would need to define your product, software component, business system and configure the technical landscape in the sld.
You then go on to create the objects in the repository, you import your software component here and then begin your design steps. To import your RFCs n Idocs if you require any before proceeding.
Then under the name space which you want, you go on to define your data types, message types and message interfaces.
Then you do your message mappings where you specify your source and target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a BPM, you do the integration process.
Once you have this done, you will have to move to the directory, here is where you define how you use the objects and how you configure them to work as a scenario.
You assign your business system to the configuration scenario which you have created, and create the communication channels. Then you go on to configure the receiver determination, interface determination, and the sender and receiver agreements. Once youre done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what kind of scenario you are implementing.
You can use sxmb moni or the runtime workbench to monitor the entire scenario which you have done.
Also I would suggest this link on SAP help for any info that you want on XI,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Further, this thread deals with everything that is needed for a starter on XI. Do check them out,
JDBC Receiver: exact SQL statement
/message/527697#527697 [original link is broken]
And after you are done with the documentation probably you can go through this scenario,
JDBC Receiver: exact SQL statement
Also check the following threads which might help you a little more,
Learning XI
XI 3.0 Training
Now lets see the installation of SAP XI,
Follow these steps while installing XI:
1. Windows server or advanced server with latest service patch.
2. IE 6.0 with latest service patch
3. Install Microsoft office and winzip, acrobat
4. Install JDK with version 1.4.2_03 or above with the corresponding JVM
5. Install the SAP GUI 6.20
6. Make sure that you have hard disk space of 10 GB in C drive and 50 GB in the installation drive.
7. Make sure the virtual memory is between 512 and 1594 or above for the installation drive.
8. Copy the dumps of following DVDs into the installation drive.
Installation Master DVD
Installation Export
Additonal Components for SAP BW/SAP XI,SAP MI,SAP KW
SAP Web As Java
9. Start the installation from the DVD dump Installation Master DVD.
10. When installing the ABAP Database the SID of the oracle default database should be different the ABAP database SID.
U can go through the Installtion Guides for Installing XI from http://service.sap.com/instguides (SR1 installation)
u can also refer to service.sap.com/platforms to see the available platform on which XI can be installed. ( Windows/linux/UNIX)
or you can even go through this weblog which clearly talks to you about XI installation
<a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/05/31/my-experience-with-xi-installation-on-fedora-core-3-linux installation</a>
In addition to this installation guide you also need to download the XI configuration guide which is very useful for technical configurations of various adapters and XI system.
At the same place you will also get the XI configuration guide e.g XI30ConfigGuideSPS11.pdf.
U can also download SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 SR1 Installtion Guide from the articles scetion.
In simple words regarding learning XI, there is an abundance of information on SDN and help.sap.com. So I think it will be better for you to search information there rather than me just providing you links.which will just go on and on and on.so I felt it is better for you to go and search so that not only you get information on SAP XI but also explore SDN in its real sense.

Abhy

From your Business Card and Question I can see you are new to ABAP. Why not try writing the code yourself first and then post if you have a problem. Use the F1 Help Key in your editor, use the SAP Help, and use the Search Feature in this forum and Google. Getting your fingers dirty and digging into things yourself is the best learning tool for you. Use this forum as a resource when you are stuck and need help/advice. What do you plan to learn by having some eager point hunter write the code for you?   I feel sorry for the Company who hired you if you are not willing to try this on your own first.   Good luck and enjoy your learning experiences.

Help need to learn how to do this?

1. Name, which has fields:
    - String lastname
    - String firstname
2. Address, which has fields:
    - int stnum
    - String street
    - String city
    - String postalCode
3. PassengerRecord, which has fields:
    - int passengerID
    - Name passengerName
    - Address passengerAddr
4. Passengers, which has fields:
    - int numpassengers
    - PassengerRecord[] passRecords
5. TrainStation, which has fields:
    - String trainStationName
    - Address trainStationAddr
    - Passengers passengerRecs
The main routine, in class MainClass, MUST look like this:
public static void main(String[] args){
TrainStation station = new TrainStation();
station.readIn();
System.out.printf("station=%s",station.toString());
}//main
which creates an instance of class TrainStation,
then calls the readIn() function of that TrainStation object which will:
1. read in the trainStationName, which is a String
2. read in the trainStationAddr, by calling trainStationAddr.readIn()
3. read in passengerRecs, by calling passengerRecs.readIn() which
    reads in the number of PassengerRecord objects and
    creates the array passRecords.
    Then, passengerRecs.readIn() calls readIn() on each
    passenger record in array passRecords, which will
    in turn read in the passengerID,
    and call passengerName.readIn(), and passengerAddr.readIn()
After calling station.readIn(), main will print out all of
the contents of the TrainStation object pointed to by printing
station.toString().can someone help me learn this fast like any places where i can read and learn how to do this?

Help needed in learning the basics of Java Smart Card and implementation?

Hello every body,
I am trying to develop the applications on java contactless smart cards technology.
Can any body give me the details like how to start?
What are the required softwares and installation procedure and path settings and etc.?
I am the beginner in java smart card application development.
plz help me out

Dear Friend,
I would advice to divide learning into two main parts: JavaCard technology and contactless RFID cards. For JavaCard technology you can find useful articles on Sun web-site (developers.sun.com/mobility/javacard/articles/javacard1/). For contactless RFID you can find few useful books at Amazon. Regarding software you need JC development kit. How to install it there is an instrunction in JCDK user guide.
If it is not a secret what a javacard contactless card you are going to use in your work?
Yours
Dmitri

Are there the MRP type for my problem? Or the customizing setting?
Thanks a lot
Dani

Dani,
Not sure if MRP type or customizing can help here. And even if we are able to achieve this requirement it will be applicable at plant level.
However, try exploring option of periodic lot size (weekly, monthly, etc). This will work according to period you've set and should give you the results you are looking for.

Himanshu
