Hi Ram,
See the answers below
> 1)     Does eSOA is a tool, application or module?
ESOA is not any tool,application or module. Its a methodology/Architecture
> 2)     What is the relation between eSOA and ECC6.0?
ECC 6.0 provides some Enterprises Services through enhancement packages.
> 3)     What is the Scope/Role for Functional Consultants in eSOA?
FUnctional consultant should know which ENterprise Serrvices are available and which should be developed to carry out a business process.
> 4)     What I have to learn in eSOA?
.         Being a technical guy, there are things to be learnt like ESR, implementing designed serivces through ABAP or Java and consuming it. But being a functional guy, only awareness of what enterprise services are available and what they do and their input/output params and how they can fit into a business process is sufficient.
> 5)     How it is useful for Functional Consultant?
see above
> 6)     How it is useful for Customers?
Customers can move towards Service Oriented Architecture, get flexibility in changing a business process easily, maintaince cost is less
> 7)     How much time it will take to learn eSOA?
depends on your skills
> 8)     Where can get the Material?
lot of material in SDN
> 9)     What all technologies I have to learn before I learn to eSOA?
ABAP or JAVA,ESR ( being a technical consultant) , Web Services
> I am working as a SAP HR Consultant. If I want to learn eSOA what are the pre-requisites.
you should aware of basics of service oriented architecture
If you further want to clear doubts, do write up.

What is the proper role of OLAP meta-data?

One basic feature continues to confuse me with regards to the Oracle OLAP option. What is the proper role and/or purpose of creating OLAP meta-data? Since you can now use the Analytic Workspace Manager to create multi-dimensional OLAP objects, doesn't that now create all the neccesary meta-data in the Analytic Workspace itself?
We have created a fully functioning prototype system with both multi-dimensional cubes as well as relational tables using both Oracle Discoverer for OLAP and Oracle BI Discoverer to view that data. And we have done so without EVER taking the explicit steps to create OLAP meta-data, i.e. using the CWM or CWM2 packages. Am I missing something? Is it still neccesary to use these packages and if so what are they for? Are there any Oracle OLAP experts that would care to comment?

Most implementations of the OLAP option are analytic workspaces (MOLAP). The usual motivators towards MOLAP are performance of builds/aggregations and query and additional calculation capabilities offered by the multidimensional engine. Also, the administrative infrastructure is better with MOLAP (because that's what most users use).
Sometimes customers want to do a ROLAP implementation because they're more familiar with tables and feel comfortable about managing security, high availability and disaster recovering. Also, some customer want to access the data with SQL based tools. But, remember with Oracle OLAP the data is all in the database (safe, secure, same management practices, RAC/Grid enabled, etc) and you can query it with SQL. Those are some of the things that make Oracle OLAP so terrific as compared to stand alone OLAP servers.
That doesn't necessarily mean that MOLAP is correct for every application, but MOLAP is probably used more than 90% of the time.
If you would like a white paper discussing when to use MOLAP, feel free to send me at email <[email protected]>

If client uses all the APO modules along with ECC then what is the CIF role in DP

Hi All,
As per my knowledge if the client is using only SAP ECC and DP then CIF does not play any role but what about if client uses all the APO modules along with ECC then what is the CIF role in DP ?
Thanks in advance ..

Hi Vinod,
i am aware all the above details what u mentioned.
Generally i am extracting the historical data from Excel to BI in DP- @ my project.
But if the data is in SAP ECC then do we need to use CIF to extract the data to BI in DP... so what is the role of CIF in DP if client uses only DP module? and if the client uses all the APO modules then what is the role of CIF in DP especially ?....awaiting for ur response....
Thanks.

What are the consultant roles in Upgradation or migration project

Hello ,
Would you please any dody help me to provide the role & responsibilities of consultant in SAP upgradation or migration project.Thanks.
Regards,
Sampally

Dear Sampally,
SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
Includes
Function Groups / Function Modules
Programs / Reports
OSS Notes
SAP Repository Objects
SAP Data Dictionary Objects
Domains, Data Elements
Tables, Structures and Views
Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
BDC Programs
Print Programs
SAP Scripts, Screens
User Exits

Once we start our implementation project in SAP EP,by using standard methadology called ASAP.
Then I want to know ,how much time we will take to complete all 5 phases,and in each phase what is the primary role for SAP EP Developer as team member.
Thanks,
vinay

Hi Vinay,
SAP EP Developer will be involved in Realization, Final Preparation and GO live and support phases.
In the project preparation and business blueprint he will not be involved. It will be the basis team and Portal administrator who will be involved.

What is the role of ABAP technical analyst?

Dear Friends,
I would like to know the roles and responsibilities of a ABAP technical analyst for MM ,SD,FI/Co modules.?
Please tell me in detail what are the other roles or positions are there in an implementation or support project.
Very curious to know about the implementation cycle in SAP projects.
like I have heard of aggies,GAP analysis ,Blue print study....But dont have clear picture.
So relying on Sdn experts completely....
Thanks,
Reshali.

I disagree. I think the coffee corner is the best place for this kind of general question. So I've moved it here. Sure, you'll get some sarcastic or teasing answers, but you'll also get some helpful answers.
However, a general question can only be answered generally. And I'm not sure how helpful that is. The role of ABAP technical analyst varies from site to site.
For example, at one site, I had to:
Take functional spec and write technical spec and unit test scripts. If there were questions not addressed in the functional spec, I put it back to the functional analyst. Once I'd completed the technical spec and unit test scripts, they were reviewed. Once reviewed and found acceptable, I could code. I would then run the test scripts, and record the results. Again my work would be reviewed - the tech spec, the unit test scripts, the results, and the ABAP code. Once accepted, the development would go into testing. At any point in the cycle we could go back to an earlier point, get a review, carry on, make changes, get a review...
So, my responsiblities there were:
1. Write technical specs from functional spec.
2. Write unit test scripts
3. Develop programs
4. Unit test the programs according to the scripts and record results
5. Review other programmers technical specs and ensure they match the functional spec.
6. Review other programmers test scripts and ensure that they are thorough enough
7. Review other programmers testing and ensure it has been done properly
8. Review other programmers code, ensure it matches the technical spec and conforms to standards of quality.
( This might sound like overkill, but this site was the ONLY site I've ever worked where the vast majority of programs worked correctly in production - the rigourous checks upfront saved that company a fortune in maintenance. ).
At another site:
Given a functional spec, write a program and a technical spec.
btw - when you asked the question in the XI forum, Ramakrishna's answer was copy and paste from SAP Help.

What is the role of SolMan in a SOA-Landscape ?

Hello Everyone,
We are building up a infrastructure for our SAP services, so a complete SOA-infrastructure with PI, SLD, UDDI ...
Now my question is: What is the exact role of Solution Manager in this landscape?
Has solman any kind of active functionality going further than monitoring services ?
Thanks in advance!

J2EE roles vs Portal roles vs ABAP roles

(I also posted this on portal implementation, but i hope i receive more reactions here )
Dear all,
I have a question about the information on the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/4c/6c0f40763f1e07e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
It says the following:
"These functions are intended to assign users and their assigned portal roles a corresponding role in the SAP System. This corresponding role (authorization role) contains the authorizations needed to execute certain functions from the portal."
1. These "...certain functions..." they talk about, can someome give an example of these functions?
2. Is it possible for example to create a role in the portal that gives a user authorisation for starting transaction SE80 in the backend system? Without making the role in the backend first and uploading it to the portal.
3. It's also possible to upload ABAP roles to the portal. Is the main reason for this that users can see their SAP menu (or part of it) in the portal? Or does this have other advantages too?
4. I'm very confused about the relation between J2EE roles, portal roles and ABAP roles. Is it possible to manage the roles for a user in one place, without having to do certain actions in the portal AND the backend system?
From what I've read on help.sap.com, you always need to do certain actions in both places.
A possible approach is the following (from what i know): Creation of roles in the R/3 system, without assigning to users. From a webdynpro application, a user can then be created and roles can be assigned: portal roles (via some API) and R/3 roles (via BAPIs).
I hope someone can give a bit information on this issue. I've done alot of reading on help.sap.com, but it's still an abstract issue for me.
Kind regards,
Joren

Hi Jorem
Re: point 3. I don't build portal roles through this mechanism as I don't believe in replicating the SAP easy access menu inside the portal. If there are some specific functions (transactions) that I want to run inside the portal, then I might use this mechanism to build the iViews once. I would rather start an iView that runs transaction SMEN and let the user see their regular easy access menu.
Please note that the speed of executing transactions in the portal isn't a function of the portal, but the fact that you are using ITS, for example, to web enable the transaction...
Re: point 4. Groups are a UME concept. They have nothign to do with ABAP groups. They can be created directly in UME through user administration functions, or they can be created in the LDAP and then they are visible in the portal. If the UME points to an ABAP system, then the ABAP roles are autoamtcially visible as UME groups. Groups created in the UME need to have the members assigned through user admin functions of the Java engine. Groups stored in LDAP are maintained using LDAP admin tools. There are upload utilities that allow you to maintain LDAP users and groups through text files. Google LDIF for more details.
Roles on the portal need to be built in the portal contetn directory. As Michael mentioned, this can be automated by the use of the role upload function built into the portal.

R/3 Transaction Iviews vs Imported ABAP Roles on Portal

Hi,
In one of our requirement, Business needs to set up such that client should be able to have web based access to R/3 Transaction through Portal.
We can achieve that by creating system in portal and create Transaction iview with required T-code of R/3.
Whats wrong if we can define roles in ABAP system for a user with full hierirachy and import those ABAP roles into portals.and through portal we can give unified web based access to imported roles?
Does both the possibilities accomplish our need?what are main gaps between these two methods?
I want to go by Import method,Any suggestions please?
Cheers
Rani

Hi Michael,
I agree with you that the ABAP role has a complicated menu structure and uploading has to be done at regular basis.
Is there any mechanism through which any change in ABAP role structure in R/3 reflects in portal exactly so that there is no need of regular uploading?
If not?So in which business scenario uploading of ABAP roles into portals are helpful?whats the use?
Coming back to your second solution
It is much easier to have one transaction iView that starts transaction SMEN, which presents the user's full SAP menu in a single screen
But about about a user if he wants to navigate from this transaction SMEN to another transactions to which he is authorised to(R/3 Back-end)through this single Transaction iview.
In other words if we want to have access to 5 transaction iviews in R/3,do we need to create 5 corresponding transaction iviews in portals?How to achieve this requirement in a better way?
Waiting for you Reply
Bye and have a Nice Day
Rani

Role Mapping For Portal Role Assignment and ABAP Role Assignment

Summary:
- Under the GRC configuration of Roles> Role Mapping we are trying to utilize the role mapping feature in GRC for associating a dependent role to a main role.
- We want to use this role mapping feature for the purposes of adding an Enterprise Portal role for every ABAP role that gets approved for the user in an ABAP component system (i.e. ECC, BW, CRM etc). We will have a 1:1 mapping of Enterprise Portal role to ABAP role defined in the role mapping section in GRC.
- We want to set up the workflow in such a way that the main role (ABAP role) is the only role that needs to be approved. The dependent role (Enterprise Portal role) should be added or not added based on the approval or denial of the main role (ABAP role). In other words if the role owner for the abap role approves the abap role, then both the abap and EP role will be provisioned by GRC and if the role owner rejects/denies the role, then neither the abap or EP role will be provisioned by GRC.
Problem Description:
Our Scenarios we tested:
Scenario 1:
Main Role: Attached to Initiator A & workflow A (routes to single approver based on role)
Dependent Role: Attached to Initiator B & workflow B (routes to auto approval or no approval)
*Problem with the Scenario 1setup above, the dependent role will always get approved & provisioned regardless of the approval or denial of the main role.
Scenario 2:
Main Role: Attached to Initiator A & workflow A (routes to single approver based on role)
Dependent Role: Attached to Initiator A & workflow A(routes to single approver (same as main approver) based on role)
*Problem with the Scenario 2 setup above, the dependent role will always also need to get approved by the same approver as main role and it opens the possibility that the approver may accidently approve the main role and deny the dependent role, which is not the ideal setup as we inherit the risk of human error.
Questions:
1. Does the dependent role need to be defined in an initiator at all since it will never directly be requested directly?
2. If the dependent role does need to be in the initiator file, please describe how to properly setup the initiator and workflow stage & path so that we can maintain the desired relationship with the main role approval dependency? (if the role owner for the main role approves the main role, then both the main role and dependent role will be provisioned by GRC and if the role owner rejects/denies the main role, then neither the main role or depedent role will be provisioned by GRC
Edited by: Rene Griffith on Feb 26, 2010 10:22 PM

I tested this set up.
1. Defined ABAP role as Manin role
2. Defined Non-ABAP role as dependednt role
3. ABAP role is set up in initiator requiring business approval.
4. Non-ABAP role is set up in initiator with no approval required.
Results Where Business Approver approves the ABAP Role
1. Only the ABAP role is displayed in approver view which is desirable.
2. ABAP role is approved and Non-ABAP role and ABAP role is provisioned.
Results Where Business Approver rejects the ABAP Role
1. Only the ABAP role is displayed in approver view which is desirable.
2. ABAP role is rejected but Non-ABAP role is provisioned which is not what we want. We want the Non-ABAP role not to provision if the ABAP role is rejected by the business approval.
Thanks again for your help.

ABAPer role in upgrade project

Hi,
Please let me know the ABAPer role with upgrade project. When Std programs updated by support packs what are the responsibility of ABAPers?
Thanks,
Praneeth

Hi,
Automatic- It means that there will be a green icon. You will have to just click it and it is done.
This is because the changes to the SAP Object have been done either via SNOTE for some note application or you have used the modification assistant. So SAP does not have any problem in determining the changes. So the adjustment is automatic.
Semi-Automatic - In this case there will be a yellow icon. This means that you have to make some manual adjustments. This is because SAP considers that the adjustments are proper but still there is some discrepancy.Probably this is because you have made some note changes and additionally inserted some comments like begin of changes by xxxx on yyyyy for note zzzzz.
So in this case SAP will give you a split screen editor in whihc your existing code and the one coming from support pack will come. So you have to adjust accordingly.
Manual Adjustment - In this case there will be a red icon. This means that you have to make the chnages manually. This is because SAP finds a lot of discrepancy in your program and the one coming via support pack. The reason can be either the earlier note was incorrectly applied or you have added your own code for some custom requirment. So again SAP gives you the split screen editor to make the adjustments.
Your assumptions about Reset to Original and Adopt Modifications are correct.
I hope it solves your queries.

Ankur Parab
