Integarte IBM Gentran with SAP PI7.0

Hi,
What are the ways in which IBM Gentran can share information with SAP PI7.0? what are the type of configurations done in PI system to enable this?
Thanks!!

Hi Bhupesh,
In such cases where the integration landscape uses multiple middleware tools at different levels, the best approach would be to opt for a file based exchange. As no adapters are likely to be available on the interoperability of these two tools, best approach would be:
PI downloads the data as an XML file (in an agreed format) to a designated folder and Gentran reads the file from the same folder. And for reverse flow follow the same approach.
Alternatively if Gentran is able to make SOAP Based webservice call then it can call to PI interfaces using HTTP/SOAP or can provide a service end point for PI to make a call. You can consult with a Gentran expert on the capabilies of Gentran and the feasibility of this approach,

IBM POS with SAP Issue.

Dear Experts,
I am working at client site, have a peculiar issue please help by providing your suggessions or ideas to solve it.
Here is the Issue : Every time a Transaction is completed at the terminal the data will be written (Appended) to the PTLOGXXX.dat file where XXX resembles the Terminal Number, and once the EOD (End of Day) is run it triggers a DOS (basic) program in the IBM POS Server which converts the .dat files to .txt files and once the conversion happens it triggers the inbound.bat file which sends this PTLOGXXX.txt files to the Unix Server where the information will be spread across to the Oracle Database tables and then the IDOC Conversion happens and IDOC's are sent to the ERP (SAP IS Retail) system.
The issue is that the clients wants to make the system online and make sure that POS Transactions are being sent to SAP system at regular intervals, and secondly the Process of getting the txt files to be converted to IDOCu2019s is taking a lot of time (close to about 2 Hrs) and they wanted to reduce this time.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Riaz.

For your suggested solution are you considering using SAP PI? are there any SAP tools that let you fully integrate and read, in near real time, from an IBM POS 4690? everything I´ve read about (RDS Shopper Insight or Sales Analytics 4 Retail) deal with SAP POS.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CK/Exchange+Infrastructure+-+SAP+POS+Integration
I need to integrate an IBM POS 4690 in near real time and feed it into a HANA box, this customer is not an SAP ERP customer. Any ideas?

Hi Philipp
My version is 700 and the database is DB2/400 for IBM System i.
The sapcrypto is treated differently on this platform, so I havent done anything with it as yet.
I logged a message with SAP which has gone to the BC-JAS-SEC queue and the reply I received is below. Please let me know if this has helped you as I have not had the chance to get back to the system to try these steps :
regards
Michael.
To do the further investigation, may I check info below with you:
- are you able to read the content of the
/sapbwtest/global/security/lib/tools/iaik_jce.jar file with jar
- do you have the full strength JCE files installed for this JDK?
See note: 739043
- What user is used to connect to the Database from the java side in
the secure store? check if the password is correct or the user
is unlocked.
Make sure the connection details in Secure Store are the correct ones
you can check it in the config tool:
the jdbc/pool/<SID>/Password and jdbc/pool/<SID>/User

Default Adapter with SAP PI 7.1 EHP1

Hi,
Thanks for an overwhelming response to all my questions.
I need some information about the SAP PI 7.1 tool. The information needed is as following
1. How many default adapter we get with SAP PI EHP 1 package?
2. If we need some special adapters which are not a part of the tool, is it possible to develop it?
3. Where can we develop these adapters? In SAP PI only or cane we develop them in java and add the jar file and use it in the process integrator?
Thanks in advance.
Gautam

>
> 1. How many default adapter we get with SAP PI EHP 1 package?
No extra adapter added in PI7.1 EHP1.
> 2. If we need some special adapters which are not a part of the tool, is it possible to develop it?
Yes you can develop a new adapter,depends on your requirement,for that you need to download meta data from service.sap.com.
> 3. Where can we develop these adapters? In SAP PI only or cane we develop them in java and add the jar file and use it in the process integrator?
>
Use NWDS 7.1 ,Eclipse to develo,but NWDS is adviceble one.
Even third party adapters availble,based on your requiremnet we can buy those adapters and deploy in PI.

How to Integrate SAP EP with SAP PI to send data for creating reports in BW

Hi Gurus
I am struck with an Object/Interafce Creation in my project. My requirement is to Integrated SAP Enterprise Portal and SAP BW using SAP Pi. I am working on SAP PI7.1. The SAP EP sits on the Oracle Database and it will send some data required for generating some reports in BW.
My question is how to integrate the above systems by which adapters and which will be the best approach. If we use PI, the major advantage is we can Monitor the flow of the messages .
Cant the BW System directly talk with the SAP EP System. If there is an approach, can we monitor the message flow with out PI involvement.
All the above mentoined systems(SAPEP,SAPPI,SAPBW,SAPSRM,SAPABAP) are in the client landscape only.
Please suggest me the approach.
Thanking you

Hi rajshekar
Thanx for the reply
In the current project we are having an Interafce which is a B pass sceanrio from MDM to BI; MDM is dat , pi is picking the data by Sender File CC and Posting the Data to BW by using Receiver File CC. this does not involve any developemnt of ESR Objects.
My current requirement also seems to be the same Pick thhe date from SP Portal and give it to BW for generaiting reports.
Can i use the SOAP at sender side and File at receiver side with out the involvement of ESR Objects.
Does the By Pass aprroach work for this aprticular interafce.
How can we integrate SAP EP with BW withour Pi?
please share any blogs or forums
please help
Thank you

Idoc Acknowledgements in SAP PI7.31 Single stack

Hello All,
We are migrating from SAP PI 7.0 to SAP PI7.31 single stack.
in Existing landscape(SAP PI7.0) - sender system ECC is receiving the acknowledgements(ALEAUD) for the idocs sent to PI system where in the port is different i.e. port is receiving back with different Partner Number.
But in SAP PI7.31 single stack, ECC is recieving the acknowledgmenets(ALEAUD) as same as the sender partner number of the idoc sent to PI 7.31 system.
can someone please explain me if it is possible to implement the same functionality as per SAP PI7.0 in SAP PI7.31 single stack as well or is this the Limitation of the product.
Thanks

Hi Thom Heinemann ,
The following websites containing PDF & PPT docs on BI will gain u confidence :
What is a BW datasource?What is meant by maintaining a datasource?
A BW datasource is a structure which is created in the source system and replicated to the BW system. Maintaining a datasource in a source system is doing any changes related to the datasource. It could be adding/deleting fields or checking the flags in the datasource like the hide and selection flag. Also, if the datasource is provided in the LO Cockpit, changes can be made there too depending on how the extraction of data is ...

Creating SAP BW data source definitions
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ablxhelp/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.abx.dev.doc/abx-t-develop-sapbwdatasource.html
An InfoCube describes a self-contained dataset (from the reporting view), for example, for a business-oriented area. This dataset can be evaluated with the BEx query.An InfoCube is a set of relational tables that are created in accordance with the star schema: a large fact table in the center, with several dimension tables surrounding it.
In its esence, Infocube is a data container. Data containers are used as a basis for analysis and reporting processes in SAP BW. Infocubes in SAP BW serve exactly this purpose. Infocubes in SAP consist of Key figures and characteristics. You can find some detailed information on key figures here. Simply speaking, infocube is any repository which contains data. Moving on to the types of infocubes. In SAP BW, there are basically two classes of infocubes. These are:
Basic Infocubes - These are also called as physical infocubes.
Remote Infocubes - These are also called as virtual infocubes.
The basic difference between the above two types of infocubes is that basic infocubes are physically stored in the same SAP BW system as their meta data description. Remote infocubes are stored on a third party custom SAP BW. Both the above types of BW infocubes consist of key figures and characteristics. These characteristics in turn are divided into 16 dimensions. More on that in another post.

Extract Structure
In the extract structure, data from a DataSource is staged in the source system. The extract structure contains the amount of fields that are offered by an extractor in the source system for the data loading process. You can edit and enhance DataSource extract structures in the source system. To do this, in the BW Administrator Workbench choose Goto à Modeling à Source Systems à Your Source System à Context Menu (right mouse click) à Customizing Extractors à Subsequent Processing of DataSources.
Transfer Structure
The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into the SAP Business Information Warehouse. It provides a selection of the extract structure fields for the source system.
Use
The transfer structure provides BW with all the source system information available for a business process.
An InfoSource in BW requires at least one DataSource for data extraction. DataSource data that logically belongs together is staged in an extract structure in an SAP source system.
In the transfer structure maintenance, you determine which extract structure fields are transferred to the BW. When you activate the transfer rules in BW, an identical transfer structure for BW is created in the source system from the extractor structure.
This data is transferred 1:1 from the transfer structure of the source system into the BW transfer structure, and is then transferred into the BW communication structure using the transfer rules.
A transfer structure always refers to a DataSource from a source system and an InfoSource in BW.
You get to the maintenance of the transfer structure using the InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench. The context menu of the source system belonging to an InfoSource provides you with the maintenance marker using the function Maintain Transfer Rules.
This website gives all definitions of Info object,infocube,infosource,datasource,commn structure,extract structure ..etc..

SAP Business Information Warehouse
SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing (DW) solution which is one of the major enterprise software applications produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW, (Business Information Warehouse), but is now known as "SAP NetWeaver BI".
SAP BW consists among other things of components for data management (Data Warehousing Workbench), extensive data modeling capabilities, an embedded analytical engine, a suite of rich front-end analytical tools refererred to as Business Explorer (BEx), and operational tools used for importing the most current transactional data into the system. It may be helpful to consider layers that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into SAP BW system.
Data warehouse area - responsible for storing the information in various types of structures, including multidimensional structures called InfoCubes.
Reporting - responsible for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
Planning - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and perform tasks such as budget calculations.
SAP's BI application is a very pervasively employed data warehouse / analytical enterprise software solution, often utilized heavily by companies that essentially run their business on SAP operational systems such as SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP, traditionally known as SAP R/3). SAP's BI solution contains a large number of predefined "extractors", a very significant amount of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, master data (i.e. objects representing the entity for "Customer", or "Material"), authorization roles, query views and reports all delivered in the software by SAP. Some of the significant benefits of this approach include the ability to leverage SAP's substantial business knowledge from many years of developing extremely sophisticated software systems for the world's largest companies, typically shortening project development cycles in the process. The pre-defined business content can be modified to meet an organization's specific requirements, while at the same time taking advantage of general aspects of these delivered data models and reports that are somewhat foundational and have broad application in business, government, and education.
SAP BW is now part of a suite of SAP applications called SAP NetWeaver. Other components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP, called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e. eXchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM).
The 7.0 version of SAP BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This new release includes many new features, such as next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing enhancements, and possibility to use innovative techology for query performance optimization called "BI Accelerator". BI Accelerator (or BIa) comes as an external applicance, i.e. complete hardware with pre-installed software. BIa requires separate licence fee.
From SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on, the term SAP BW is obsolete, and instead it is referred simply as "SAP NetWeaver BI" - i.e. "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI".
According to SAP, more than 12,000 installations of SAP's BI solution exist.
SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) is SAP´s Data Warehouse solution. It has been specially developed to allow you to gather and analyze all kinds of statistical information in the best possible way.
The SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is a core element of mySAP.com. SAP BW is an enterprise-wide information hub that enables data analysis from R/3 and other business application, including external data sources such as databases and the Internet. SAP BW also offers easy integration with other mySAP solutions, such as mySAP Supply Chain
Management (mySAP SCM), mySAP Strategic Enterprise Management (mySAP SEM), and mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM).
SAP BW is a comprehensive end-to-end data warehouse solution with optimized structures for reporting and analysis. To help knowledge workers quickly mine an enterpriseu2019s business data, SAP BW is equipped with preconfigured information models and reports, as well as automatic data extraction and loading methods.
With an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel-based user interface, you can create, format, and analyze reports, and publish those reports to the web. Built for high performance, SAP BW resides on its own dedicated server. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and reporting activities are therefore separated, and system performance is not compromised.

Anybody experience with SAP Reliable Messaging (SAP-RM) from BizTalk?

Experience with SAP Reliable Messaging (SAP-RM) from BizTalk?
Has anyone experience with using SAP Reliable Messaging (SAP-RM) between BizTalk and SAP’s Enterprise Services?
SAP’s Enterprise Services can be synchronous request/reply, what SAP calls A2X. But many of SAP’s Enterprise Services are one-way, asynchronous. When not using SAP’s own integration solution (SAP Process Integration), SAP refers
to the use of either WS-ReliableMessaging (WS-RM) or SAP ReliableMessaging (SAP-RM). With BizTalk not supporting WS-ReliableMessaging (and not its persistent version), SAP-RM is the way to go.
More info about “SAP-RM” @ http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAPConn/Plain+SOAP
Koen

I have searched, but didn't find any resources related with SAP Reliable Messaging (SAP-RM) from BizTalk, only found the resources about Web Services Reliable Messaging. I hope it will help you.

Trouble with SAP system installation GUI

Hello all,
I've installed SLES10 SP2 X86_64 without any problem. During the installation I marked "SAP desired" option to get SAPINIT package installed.
After initial settings of environment variables and all the stuff, I ran the SAP installation via ./sapinst command (as root). The system displayed proper notice:
guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host server, port 21200 to continue with the installation
but instead of displaying of SAPGUIInstallation on my local PC nothing happend. I use Putty with X11 forwarding option and Xming. Normally this works fine, but not now. I tried the XCLOCK - this works ok.
So I ran the ./sapinst in X11 directly on the server in ptty7. The SAPGUIInstallation came up. So I shut it down and kept trying to start the installation remotely. After 2hours I came back to X11 to check the SAPGUIInstalltion is still working .. and guess what - even there the GUI haven't been starting since.
Do you have any idea, what should be wrong or where should I look ?
Thank you in advance for ANY hint.

Hello Hannes,
here are answers for you points:
- java-1_4_2-ibm-1.4.2_sr11
- sapinst (of SAP SolMan) from SAP Package official delivery (with SAP NetWeaver04S SP3)
There is one more note to be mentioned:
the true is, that when I try to run ./startInstGui.sh (from the same directory as sapinst binary - it comes togethere on Installation Master DVD) .. I get following error:
Java Runtime found in SAPINST_JRE_HOME environment variable
Path: /usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin/java
Start mode: gui (GUI only)
Connection parameters:
GUIServer host: localhost
GUIServer port: 21212

So if the "startInstGui.sh" is run on the background after the GUIserver initialization (previous post), it also probably dumps. I just can not find the log about that.
I guess I should solve this exception first .. only thing is I dont know how
Any ideas ?
Thank you !

Is any 3rd party hardware/platforms required to enable communi with SAP?

Hi Gurus,
What server side hardware/platforms are required to enable communication with SAP mobile devices? What would be a typical production setup? Would there be any 3rd party components here that would require licensing?
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Hi,
if you want to communicate with SAP Mobile devices - you need a SAP Netweaver installation in Mobile UsageMode. This is called the middleware system. It is not recommended to have this setup onn your Backend system but to have a dedicated server for it - cause of Workload, performance and monitoring.
If you run MI client on a PDA - then you need to install NSICom Creme as Java runtie on PDA - but the license is already included in SAP MI lizensing cost.
If you have to support larger Datasets, then you might need to install DB2e as persistence layer. This causes an additional licensing you need to pay to IBM - I think via SAP, but well, at the end you need to pay something on top if you run DB2e. The normal used persistence is free of charge. It is called FileIO up to MI7.0, with MI7.1 it is called MinDB.
So all you really need, is a dedicated Netweaver Mobile Box.
Hope that helps!
- oh I have seen - check your other post on that topic as well .--- this post here is for occasionally connected apps - this other post talks about MobileOnline as well---
Regards,
Oliver

BI Tools with SAP BI

Hi
Can any one please provide more information on
IBM Datastage (BI Tool)
Data Quality Technology
and how they can be with SAP BI
Thanks

Datastage is an ETL tool which can be used to load data in SAP BI similar to other tools like Informatica et al...
IBM datastage used to have a SAP BW pack which used to connect to SAp BW infosources etc- but then since IBM was also an SI - support for Datastage was removed.
Data Quality monitor --?? not sure - could you please give links for the same..?
