Replacing BC with SAP XI-URGENT

Hi Experts ,
I have a query related to a case in which we want to replace SAP BC with SAPXI.
The client is going for an upgradation from SAP R/3 4.6 c to ECC 6.0 and they have architecture like 4.6c--- BC-SAP Adapter--- Customized Adapters(Third party).
The customized adapters make synchronous RFC calls to 4.6 c through SAP Adapter and BC.
Basically MQ series flow is there between customized adapter and SAP ADAPTER which further updates R/3 through BC.
Now they want to upgrade from 4.6c to ecc 6.0 and replace BC with SAP XI without making any changes to SAP Adapter and customized adapters
Now my questions are :-
1) If i replace BC with SAP XI will there be any development changes required or it will be only configuration changes that can be done by BASIS?
2)Is it possible that Third Party continues to make RFC calls to XI and XI make RFC calls to R/3.
3) In XI we will be configuring JMS adapter for MQ series or MQ series adapter.
4) What difficulties can be faced during replacement of BC with SAP XI ? What can be the impact of replacement?
I would appreciate an early response as this is very urgent.
Regards
Saras Jain

Only some parts of the SAP BC can be migrated to SAP XI like xslt mappings

yes, 3rd party can make calls to XI and XI will make RFC calls to R/3 calls using the RFC adapter in XI.
> 3) In XI we will be configuring JMS adapter for MQ

you will have to configure the JMS adapter in XI.

FMEA / xRCM with SAP PM

HI,
I have few questions about using Failure Mode & Impact Analysis & Reliability based maintenance with SAP. They are as below:
1. SAP provides the FMEA functionality but in QM module - Whether it can be used for SAP PM objects?
2. I could find the SAP note '1954644 - Meridium Reliability-Based Asset Management for SAP® Solutions - EBS partnership details' but no further dtails on the solution / integration points. Can any one forward me the link to this solution?
Many thanks

Hi,
You are missing/check for completion of some of the steps which are need to see demands from PS in MRS Planning board.
Create Org unit using transactions PPOME and PPOCE.
In PPOCE, create postions of the node, create user/person to that position and assign resource under that position.
In short your Org unit node will have a hierarchy as O_S_P (Organization_Position_Person).
Then to PP01 and maintain relationship between Org unit and Postion.
Then using SA38 and program run the availability transfer report /MRSS/HCM_RPTWFMIF for the resources.
Then go to transaction /MRSS/PLBOSRV
Thanks,

Impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI

Hi Friends,
I would like to know that what is the impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI software.
1) Will there be anything we need to change?
            for e.g.
                 a) Settings
                 b) Software
                 c) Hardware
2) What do we need to keep in mind when upgrading from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0?

Hello!
The biggest change you must face is related to Java. If you had CRM4.0 Java configuration, you must change your settings to the non-java configuration CRM5.0 has. Most of those changes are performed by the upgrade program, but you must activate services in transaction SCIF.
Your other concerns:
- Software: Most of the Genesys releases are compatible with both java and non java configurations. Anyway, I am sure Genesys has compatibility instructions.
- Hardware: No changes to my knowledge
<b>Hope it helps. Please, reward points if so</b>

De-link PPM Item with SAP Project

Hello,
Can somebdoy throw a light on what to do in case I want to de-link a PPM-item with SAP project.This situation may rise if I want to change the project actuals going to bucket A to bucket B.As I can not change the relationship of an item with the bucket, I am looking for alternate solution where I can de-link SAP Project with SAP PPM item.
thank you!
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra
If you are meaning to de-link a PS Project from a PPM Item, you can from the Item navigate to the 'Relationships' tab and then on the 'object links'sub-tab select and delete the assignment:
You can also remove a cProject relationship by clicking the 'Related Objects' sub-tab
Your comment that you cannot move an Item to a new Bucket - is this because your business process does not allow you to do so? Because this is definitely possible in the system.
Let me know if you have any further questions as I am not sure I have addressed your question

Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports

Hello --
We are on XI 3.1 with SAP BW and SSO. Some users are getting failures with this error message when they schedule a report to run:
"A database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901)."
It SEEMS as though the users are fine if they schedule the report to run immediately and have it run every hour (or less) after that. If they schedule it to run several hours from the time they are in the system, however, it looks like they begin getting failures around 8 hours after they were in the system. This would make sense from looking at the "InfoView and Central Management Console Session Management" document (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/405547f9-b840-2b10-44b5-8e17ff9e48a9&overridelayout=true) since a logon token expires after 8 hours, but since it is a scheduled report, and the user is not logged in through a browser, how is a token being passed? Is it captured and included when the report is scheduled? Would disabling logon tokens fix this issue? How is authentication handled here if they are disabled?
Thanks for any info
Casey

Hi Gurus
I am facing the exact same error.
However, we are not trying to schedule the WEBI report.
The user gets this error even when he is running on demand from the portal.
Here are the various steps tha twe have tried and still it doesnt work:
1) Refreshed and created new Universe connection
2) Bounced BOE server
3) Synced up the SSO timeout ticket to 8 hrs on all systems including BOE
4) Changed browsers
5) Removed cache, cookies etc
Please help.

SSO with SAP logon tickets to non-SAP web app

I am trying to implement SSO to an oracle portal based web application using SAP logon tickets, but can't seem to find a way for it to work. I thought maybe it would be a web server filter, but am unsure if this would work for oracle portal. Anyone tried similar?

Performance issues with SAP BPC 7.0/7.5 (SP06, 07, 08) NW

Hi Experts
There are some performance issues with SAP BPC 7.5/7.0 NW, users are saying they are not getting data or there are some issues while getting data from R/3 system or ECC 6.0. Then what things do I need to consider to check, such as what DataSources or Cubes I need to check? So, how to solve this issue?
What things I need to consider for SAP NW BI 7.0 u2013 SAP BPC 7.5 NW (SP06, 07, 08) Implementation?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Qadeer

Hi,
New SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
hope this will help you

Read IDOC WMMBID02 information and compare inventory data with SAP

Hi All,
Here is an explanation of the issue:
I need to read the data from an inbound IDOC, status 64, of standard type WMMBID02 and message type WMMBXY. I do not want to post the IDOC, but only read the IDOC information which is mainly the material number, batch, status(INSMK), quantity and unit. This data I have to compare with SAP data and see if it is same for the selected material numbers. Now to read and process the inbound IDOC we have a program RBDAPP01 (BD20 Transaction) which calls the process code WMMB (WE42 transaction) which in turn calls the function module L_IDOC_INPUT_WMMBXY. This FM posts the IDOC. I have created a function module with the same import, export and tables parameters like this FM and have attached it to a custom process code ZWMMB. This function module should just read the data of the IDOC and put it in the table TB_IDOC_DATA like EDIDD (IDOC data records). I then loop into this table, extract SDATA and split it into the 3 segments of WMMBID02 and then extract my required data, MATNR, CHARG, INSMK, MENGE & MEINS.
My Question:
How do I trigger the process code ZWMMB so that I can read the IDOC data when it is fired (status 64), just like program RBDAPP01. Is there any standard code that can be copied and modified or how to do it???
I have tried to be very clear with the question, please reply if the question is not clear. If I am clear, please help
Thanks Anirban

I am able to read the contents of the IDOC, but I need to run the FM when I fire the IDOC of message type ZWMMBXY. I have created a custome FM which will behave as a stndard FM for inbound IDOC processing.

Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

SAP Sourcing 7.0 integration with SAP ERP - issue with SAP PI

Hi All,
We are integrating SAP Sourcing 7.0 with SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP PI 7.1 in middle. So the Sourcing will talk to PI and this intern will talk to ERP. Sourcing is on oracle 11g where as PI and ERP are on SQL 2008. All these 3 are on windows 2003 x64.
We are following the "Configuration Guide Integration of SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing 7.0" provided by SAP.
We have successfully configured Sourcing and PI systems as pe the document. In Sourcing, by using background jobs we are able to successfully generate files in "export" folder which is part of FTP directory.
However the issue is with PI, we configured the "configuration scenerio" in Integration builder and point all channels to the FTP folder in Sourcing. But PI is not picking up these files.
Is there any way to trigger this in PI system. Or do we need to do anything in sourcing itself.
Regards,
Siva.

Hello Siva,
I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
Let's see what other experts suggest.
Thanks,
Siva Kumar

How to use CMS Users with SAP BOPC NW 7.5

Hello,
I have problems importing and using CMS Users with BO PC 7.5 NW.
I am trying two types of CMS-users
1. CMS Enterprise Users created in CMS and using "Enterprise" authentication
2. SAP BW Users imported into CMS using their SAP authentication "secSAPR3")
but both don't work:
In the BOPC Admin Client, I can succesfully select Security->Users->"Add new Users". Both CMS "Enterprise Users" and CMS Users that use SAP authentication are displayed in the "Everyone" Group.
The CMS Enterprise Users are displayed as <username>, e.g. "Miller".
The CMS users with sap authentication are displayed as <SAPSystem><Client>/<SAPusername>, e.g. "KBE100/Smith".
Now If I try to import a user...
1. CMS Enterprise Users
If can successfully import CMS Enterprise Users and add them to the ADMIN Team, e.g. "Miller".
The problem is they can't be used to log in to the Admin Client and Excel Client:
E.g. I enterUser-ID "Miller" and his CMS-Enterprise-password under password after starting Excel Client, an error message shows up: "The UserID, Password or Domain cannot be authenticated. Go back and make sure you entered valid credentials" ... (same error message as if the user wouldn't exist/wrong pw.).
Seems the user wasn't added as BO PC user. Or do I need to use any prefix before the "user ID" for CMS Enterprise users in the User_ID field instead of just "Miller"?!
2. CMS Users which use SAP-authentication (users imported into CMS from BW and use SAP-authentication)
In the BO PC Admin Client, I can't import them: I go through "1. User Setup" select "KBE~100/Smith", "2. User Detail", "3. Assignments", but if I am in "4. Finish" and click on "Apply", the following error shows up:
"Failed to create directory \root\Webfolders\<AppSetName>\<Appname>" for "KBE~100/Smith".
My guess is that the operating system doesn't like the "/" in the Username - but I guess this can't be changed bc. these Users from CMS and are already displayed with the "/" between SAPSystemID~ClientNummer and username in the User-list in BOPC Admin Client!
side remark: if I create a SAP CMS Enterprise user which contains a "/" in the username (on pupose ), I am getting the same error message.
Any help, explanations and workarounds are greatly appreciated - Any solution will be awarded with maximum points!
Best Regards and thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Florian,
The problem seems indeed the file system on the bw not being able to handle "/". The automatic user import from the bw role into the CMC does not give you an option to replace the "/" character with anything else.
This should solve it:
- Go to the CMC double click the user. Delete the server part "KBE100/" and click save. Make sure the default system is set to "KBE100". The user should now be able to login from BPC with the user Smith.
Good luck,
Martin

How to get web application to use Tuscany without conflicting with SAP SDO

Hi,
We are attempting to run a web application on SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 SP1 which uses Tuscany SDO. As it now stands We must use Tuscany because the web application will not run with the SAP SDO implementation provided by Netweaver. To ensure that Tuscany is loaded with priority, we have packaged the Tuscany JAR files and their dependencies as a heavy resource, as described here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60642a88-95fe-2b10-d387-a245d48fc257?overridelayout=true
The final check showed that Tuscany was correctly deployed as a heavy resource and included the following JAR files:
common-2.2.3.jar
ecore-2.2.3.jar
ecore-change-2.2.3.jar
ecore-xmi-2.2.3.jar
tuscany-sdo-impl-1.1.1.jar
tuscany-sdo-lib-1.1.1.jar
tuscany-sdo-tools-1.1.1.jar
xsd-2.2.3.jar
We also verified that the web application using Tuscany has a hard reference to the Tuscany heavy resource.
However, when we try to run the web application, the following error is logged: java.lang.LinkageError: Class commonj/sdo/DataGraph violates loader constraints
The issue is definitely due to some kind of classloading conflict with the SAP SDO library, as the application runs normally when SAP SDO is manually removed from the classpath. Doing this on a production system is unfortunately not an option, though.
So the question is: how to get web application to use Tuscany without conflicting with SAP SDO?

I took a look at the "printerReady" example. Looks like I may be able to use the InetPing (...) function to ping through a range of IP addresses looking for a response.
Any ideas on how to find the MAC address associated with the IP addresses that respond?
We may have multiple units responding and the MAC address will allow the operator to determing which unit to connect to.
I'll try the InetPing to see how it works,

App-V 5 SP1: Error with SAP GUI 7.3

Hallo!
We work on a project to use SAP GUI 7.3 with latest fixes with App-V 5. This works fine so far with the exception of only one transaction in SAP - SWDD. This windows shows no icons on top. After waiting for a while this transaction stops working and SAP
GUI crashes. SAP support says it's an error with App-V. So we tried to find some error with process monitor. We are able to see many of these errors:

There are hundreds of these entries. What are these NAME NOT FOUND errors? Did anyone of you successful sequence SAP Gui 7.3 with App-V 5?

Dietmar

Hello,
See this topic which explains BUFFER TO SMALL.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2005/05/17/buffer-overflows.aspx
The Name not found indicates that it is looking for a registry key (location is the path) and not finding it. That may not be a problem, as it usually traverses multiple locations (HKCU and / or HKLM, native and virtual..).
First question is;
On a machine with SAP installed natively - is there an entry named;
HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{3BE786A0-0366-4F5C-9434-25CF162E475E}\ExtendedErrors
or
HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{3BE786A0-0366-4F5C-9434-25CF162E475E}\ExtendedErrors
If yes, does it exist in the package?
