Integrating SAP System with Third Party Software

Hi,
I am working on an implementation project and need to integrate SAP system with a third party system. SInce I am a functional consultant, I am finding it tough to understand the integration issues. Can somebody explain me how to link up the two systems and what are the various tools available for this ?
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
Inorder to integrate various systems we have various interface methodologies provided by SAP.
SAP systems use the following interface technologies:
ALE: Application Link Enabling
BAPI: Business Application Programming Interface
CPI-C: Common Program Interface Communication
EDI: Electronic Data Interchange
HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol
LU 6.2: Logical Unit Type 6.2
RFC: Remote Function Call
OLE: Object Linking and Embedding
SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
XML: Extensible Markup Language
In general we use ALEs and BAPIs.
The ALE uses IDOCs as the data transfer medium and need various middle ware systems inorder to receive and process these IDOCs.
BAPIs use Remote enabled functions which can be accessed from any platform also using any language ( like JAVA, VB etc).
Thanks and regards.

Integrating SAP HCM with third party Access Control System

Hi Experts,
We have client using SAP HCM and intend procuring an Access Control Solution to manage her people.
What the client wants to avoid though is having to create a new employee in SAP HCM and manually creating same in the Access Control Software. Is there a way this can be automated such that upon recruitment of new staff, the data is updated in the Access Control DB which uses MS SQL? If this is possible, what is required to get this working well.
Thanks for your support in this regard.
Regards
John

For time management with the help of transaction pt80 you can download the information about employees with the help of idoc. And there are some programs a.k.a connectors that link access control systems and SAP so that you do not hire the same employee in the access control problem. You hire the employee in SAP and SAP sends the information (HR Minimaster DATA) to the related program.
It is also do the same thing for the employees who resign. I mean if an employee is fired or resigned from the company than it is sent to the related system.
These can be found under PDC integrated systems. You can find information about the systems from Ecohub. http://ecohub.sap.com/
I hope this answer will help.

Hi
 
This is a very generic question. There are some getting started guides available in the main XI section on SDN, and also some step-by-step guides in the wiki section. A quick search will get you tons of information.
 
The choice of connectivity and interfacing communication channel is really dependent on the capabilities of the third party system.
 
Also, to get good results on this forum, please read the <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/RulesofEngagement">rules of engagement</a>

QT 7.1.1 still messing with third party software.

Downloaded 7.1.1 hoping that it would allow me to use limewire, but no such luck. Same problems as before. Anyone else have a solution? How do i get back to something older from 7.1.1?

I don't know if Toast uses Java?
After updating to Quicktime 7.1.1, I could no longer burn Apple Lossless files using Toast. I did reinstall my OS and upgraded everything but Quicktime.
Apple said there was a simpler way to use archive and Install and then do a custom installation (de?) selecting Quicktime. I'm not sure of the specifics, but that there was an easier way than the lengthy archive and install and update of everything method I used.
I agree Apple needs to release a 7.1.1 downgrader, it would make things just so much simpler!
Quicktime 7.04 will work with the Toast 7.02 update, so Roxio has worked with that version.
Apparently 7.1.1 Quicktime also breaks Apple Lossless recording with Toast for Tiger users too. I just got a report from a Tiger user of the same problem.
Quicktime 7.04 and up break virtually all Java
programs on OS X 10.3.9. This has been a serious
issue for almost 6 months now. There were
reinstallers for Quicktime 7.02-7.04 which would
reinstall 7.01 (the last version that worked), but
there is no such reinstaller for 7.1 or 7.1.1. If
you use Java programs and you upgrade Quicktime then
your programs will not run, and you basically have
three options:
1) reinstall your operating system
2) buy another operating system (OS X 10.4) and
install that
3) hack your operating system using third party
software
OS X 10.3 is broken for many people, and although it
seems like it should not be too difficult for Apple
to fix, they have so far chosen not to. Perhaps this
situation is ideal. If users know they have to
install an operating system one way or another to get
their programs working again, maybe they'll pay for
Tiger.

Need connectivity of SAP Oracle with Third Party tool with dsn

Hi Friends,
We need to access SAP's Oracle database with third party tool with the help of dsn creation. For that we need to create 2 staging tables and need a new segment for these tables. Our data will move from SAP transactions to these 2 tables and we want to fetch this data via dsn into another third party S/W.
I am unaware of such kind of working, can you please help me how to create new segment and how to create dsn for accessing tables in this segment.
Our requirement is as follow.
The staging tables are required in the SAP database with user name and password. The user should have all access to the staging table only.
Requesting your kind help on this issue. Please suggest for further processing of activity.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja.

Hi,
Common way to integrate SAP (database) with third party Application is to use and implement SAP Connector (Java or .Net).
Using this, you can fetch the data from SAP database to use it in Third party application.
As per my understanding the method you mentioned, will void the SAP database license term.
So Please check before doing such configuraiton. Also that method is NOT recommended..

HOW COULD CONNECT FROM SAP SYSTEM TO THIRD PARTY JAVA APPLICATION

HI expects,
HOW COULD CONNECT FROM SAP SYSTEM TO THIRD PARTY JAVA or . DET APPLICATION.please provide me some scenarios and documents.please help me.

Hi,
In the sender side i.e. in SAP system you can use IDoc/RFC/Proxy to push the data to XI.
IDoc supports only Async communication and in Sync case performace is good using Proxy.
In the receiver side you can use Java Proxy to connect to the Java application or you can even bulid a webservice over the Java/.Net application and use SOAP adapter to post data to it.
Thanks

Sap integration with third party software

hey all,
we are actually trying to integrate sap with EAI( IBM WEBSPERE third party software) and here date needs to flow from EAI - SAP.
and we have done that through BAPI and in the EAI we got a message saying that the data base has been created but infact when i am trying to check the same in my sap screen am not able to find it i have also checked the database table but its not available .
do anyone has any idea as to where do we exactly go and search for a particular data once its transferred from a third party software????
any help is highly appreciated
Thanks & Regards,
Vinila Kanakala.

COMMIT WORK is necessary after most BAPIs. What you describe is usually a result of calling BAPI without COMMIT WORK. The message tells you that document was created, but when you look into database, the document is not there.
I'm not sure how to resolve this in case of the 3rd party software though. Maybe instead of just using a plain BAPI you will need to write a custom function module, which will capp BAPI and do COMMIT.
Hope this helps.

SAP HR integration with Third Party Software - PAYCARE

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I am facing the following problem with my client.
Here the client is using Third Party Software "Paycare" for their Payroll
calculation.
Now the problem is that they are giving Incentive Wages one is based on
Target & another one is based on Attendance. Overtime Calculation (OT) is
also given to all the employees.
Incentive Wages calculation is given below:
Eg: PU Machine (12 hrs)
Operator - Rs. 40
Worker - Rs. 30
Helper - Rs. 20
Side Pating - Rs. 20
All the above on DAILY BASIS
Clicking:
Operators - Rs. 300 & Rs. 350
Helpers - Rs. 200
Printing & Embossing:
Workers - Rs. 250
Packing - Rs. 200
Ladies - Rs. 150
All the above on MONTHLY BASIS
Overtime Calculation (OT): OT is given the double once after exceeds the
normal working of 8 hours. Basis for OT Calculation is (Basic Pay +
Dearness Allowance + Special Allowance).
Now the major problem is that the client wants Payroll calculation
whatever happens in Paycare to be captured & calculated in SAP HR & posted
to their respective SAP FICO accounts. They don't want in report wise but
actual calculation to be done in SAP HR.
Is it possible to do this without Payroll implementation in SAP HR because
whenever money part is involved respective Wagetypes has to be configured
in the Payroll.
Please let me know is it possible or not ASAP.
Warm Regards,
Vikrant N

1) Now the major problem is that the client wants Payroll calculation
whatever happens in Paycare to be captured & calculated in SAP HR & posted
to their respective SAP FICO accounts. They don't want in report wise but
actual calculation to be done in SAP HR.
A) But what about the inputs ?? How are you planning to map employees workin on Machines ??
What other modules ur client has implemented
As your client is expecting the calculations in SAP, so they should have Time, PP, MM, etc....
Then SAP will have base inputs.
But Calculation of INcentive will again a development.
2) Is it possible to do this without Payroll implementation in SAP HR because
whenever money part is involved respective Wagetypes has to be configured
in the Payroll.
A) Your second point is contrary to 1st !! without SAP HR - Payroll???
What exactly u want to say, without SAP HR Payroll, you want to intrate with FICO ???
Please let me know is it possible or not ASAP.
Warm Regards,

EDI Integration using PI with third party connectors

Hi Experts ,
I would like to know the extra cost factors associated if going for EDI integration with PI with third party connectors like seeburger .
1. We have NW 2004s ECC installed . Do we need to purchase PI separately? If yes how much will it cost ?
2. How licensing will happen in case of PI ?
3. How much Seeburger will cost ? Is there any sort of AMC associated with seeburger
4. Do we install Seeburger and PI on the same box ?
5. How will be the landscape with Seeburger Instance ?

Yes your need to but PI separately,its independed product,its not come with ECC.

Better to talk with SAP Sales team,they will help you with genuine answers.
> 3. How much Seeburger will cost ? Is there any sort of AMC associated with seeburger
Its depends on which See Burger Adapter You are going to use,.
> 4. Do we install Seeburger and PI on the same box ?
Yes ,we need to deploy the seeburger drivers on PI Server.
> 5. How will be the landscape with Seeburger Instance ?
google it,you wil find the answer i am not sure
> 6. How we will be able to move Seeburger Objects across the landscape ? DEV->QA->PRD
As per my knowledge when you develop any interface using seer burger adapter or predefined mappings,its same procedure to transport also.

Integration of ChaRM with third party tools

Hi all,
We are in the process of building the solution for Change Request Management implementation integrated with third party tool.
As the normal process for ChaRM is to work with the Service Desk functionality (to raise a ticket, then support message, change request, change document etc...), but what we need is create the change request, and change document directly with ChaRM without using the Service Desk functionality.
Did anybody come across this situation?
Please share your experience.
Thanks in advance.
Balaji

Hi Balaji,
there is no problem, as I understand, you want to use ChaRM without Service Desk. OK, than you create directly a Change Request in CRMD_ORDER, the transaction type you have to select is SDCR (standard transaction type), you have to approve it and then you can create a change document, it is not necessary that you start with a Service Desk ticket like SLFN.
You need configured TMS a SolMan Project with a Maintenance Cycle, thats it (but this is enough , don't forget the customizing).
I hope I understood you correct

Unable to link Jtext field with third party software.

Hi pals,
I am stuck in a problem which is as follows:
"I have one third party software (lightspeed) which helps one to link it to any application. Here I am able to link this app with the text field of google.com opened in a browser or in a java frame. Now whenever I type something in the text field of this app(lightspeed) and press enter, it forwards the same text to google's text field, which is working as expected. Now there is twist, whenever I link any java's textField to this app, it fails."
Now some questions which raise in my mind are:
1) Is it due to the security constraints in java?
2) Or somewhere the sockets are no been able to connect?
Guys, please help. My need is just to link this app to the jTextField.
I will be really thankful to you.
Please Help!
Aman

Thanks for the reply PhHein. But there may be one of the case:
1) Due to some security constraint java is not accepting third party (or say untrusted ) data.Unlikely
2) It is obvious that app is using sockets, so socket failure might be case. If yes, is there any way to track it?No way to tell without seeing stack traces or errror messages.

Database privileges for integration between EBS and Third Party software

Hi,
We have engaged a third party invoice scanning software vendor that wants to install database components on our existing EBS database.
We run Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2 on a 10g database. The third party software vendor wants privileges like select, update, insert, delete on Oracle EBS tables like ap_invoices_all, po_distributions_all, gl_code_combinations, and all important workflow tables.
The third party software vendor says the privileges are needed for their APIs and I have refused to grant the privileges. My employer now wants me to justify my refusal.
Does anyone know if Oracle have documents that say that direct updates on Oracle EBS Application tables is not acceptable? The manuals have the “Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data” section but is there anything else?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi
First configure the same via the following menu path:
1.) IMG>Financial accounting>Financial accounting global settings>Taxes on sales/purchases>Basic settings>External tax calculation>Define physical destination
2.) Then test connection (option is available there).
3.) If the connection is successful, also verify that the external tax package installed supports the R/3 4.6 version of the API. You do that by going to:
System Information>Function List
Check if the following functions are listed:
RFC_CALCULATE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_UPDATE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_FORCE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDICTION
4.) Then test the tax data retrieval:
From SE37, select the relevant function modules like RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDICTION.
The above 4 steps are necessary to satisfy that the RFC connection is established
Hope useful

Integrate SAP BI with third party Java application

I want to display reports from SAP BI to third party java application. I have found many javadocs, but have not found any document that helps with this problem.

Not much information provided.
BO Version?
Reports in question?
There are different set of SDKs for different reports. Also there might be changes in the API's between different BO products.
As suggested by Jawahar, its better if you post your query to SDK forum for better response as it is the dedicated forum for BusinessObjects Java SDK queries.
Thanks,

Question about to recover data from windows essential 2012 (with raid0 or 1)with third party software !

raid 0 or 1.
if it is possible to install third party softare on extern harddisk or on usb stick on run it from there which steps I have to take ,or if there is some article about it on windows website.
how to install third party softwares on extern harddisk or usb stick on run it from there.
thanks
johan
h.david

Hi johan,
Based on your description, I understand that you want to know how install a third-party software on an external
harddisk or usb and then run this software from there. Regarding this issue, I suggest that you should contact with the third-party software support and confirm it. Since most programs use windows registry entries, and may rely on some .dll files. If all relevant
auxiliary files and configurations of this software were installed in one directory tree, you may be able to install and run it on an external harddisk or usb.
Hope this helps.
