Santosh Kumar

Hi,
There are so many software's available in the market and certified by SAP for Integration Primavera with SAP.
If you want to develop your own interface between SAP and Primavera,it is tedious and time consuming so better is to go for a ready made software certified by SAP which will ease you work.

ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

Hi,
we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
My question is:
We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
Best regards,
Steven

Hi Abhishek,
This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Integrating C4C with SAP ERP using HCI ( SLD )

Hi all,
in order to link C4C with SAP ERP via HCI, Is it mandatory add the SAP ERP to a SLD ?
thank u in advance.

Hi Daniele
Use the integration guide from SMP first - that is the final source. The how-to guides can supplement but they aren't necessarily updated every quarter. We have a new how-to guide for certificates as well - hopefully you found that one. In 4.5 the cloud system they are referring to is HCI. We also have a video for this - did you watch Prakash's elearning? It's in our how-to guide blog - this might help.
So 1. get the integraiton guide, follow it
2. Use Prakash's video Integrating SAP Cloud for Customer with SAP ERP - YouTube
3. Use the certificate how-to guide

Integrating Webservice with SAP

Hi Experts,
How to integrate Webservice with SAP ECC6.0( RFC)
webservice : .Net
regrads,
stephen

Read the below details
. When we use *Sender SOAP Adapter how the connectivity is happening with Remote Clients.
A:SOAP is an XML-based protocol for exchanging information in a decentralized, distributed environment.SOAP is a technology that allows XML to move easily over the Web. SOAP does this trough an XML envelope for delivering XML content and specifying a set of rules for services to follow when they receive a SOAP message.The fundamental change brought about by SOAP has been the ability to move data anywhere across the Web.
When ever XI needs to talk to a webservice you will go for SOAP adapter. If you need to enable some functionality as webservice using XI you can use SOAP Sender adapter. If you need to send request to a webservice you will go for SOAP Receiver
SOAP Message Structure :
SOAP Envelop: The outermost element of SOAP message. The envelope element is the root of the XML document that defines a SOAP message.
SOAP Header: An optional, yet key element in architecting a distributed system around XML. The header element provides a modular way of directing SOAP servers to do processing before passing the SOAP message on. For example, it is possible to add SOAP header information that instructs a server to add transaction or authentication information. Header are also important in building piped architectures where processing is done in stages and data is modified as it is passed from handler to handler.
SOAP Body: An element that must appear in a SOAP message. The Body element is where the transported XML is loaded. SOAP makes no assumptions about the kind of XML transport in the body of a SOAP message. XML or it may take the form of remote procedure call.
also these weblogs can give you a view where you can use SOAP adapters

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/5ad93f130f9215e10000000a155106/content.htm
2.How sender SOAP Adapter get those webservices from remote clients and when exactly Remote clients will send webservices to SOAP Adapter?
It purely depends on ur client & if ur client provides WSDL file then u no need to develop it in ID and use that WSDL.WSDL describes a particular web service. Using a wsdl, we are requesting the broker to point the exact system, application, message interface. Once it is found, the SOAP channel is opened between the provider and the consumer. So the WSDL is a must to access web services.
in XI, we have to define the Web service which we want to use for the Sender SOAP channel. It is done by choosing Define Web Service from the tool menu of Integration Directory.
There is no need to code any thing. Here, what you are doing is, just exposing the sender service,channel,Message Interface as a web service.
In XI, we need to map the incoming messages to the target message( to the actual web service from the provider) format and to maintain the technical and logical routing between the sender and receiver.
Check this blog to generate WDSL file...
Exposing BAPI as Web Services through SAP XI
Configuring a SOAP Sender Channel:
When we create a SOAP sender channel we have to define the namespace and the name of a message interface (values can be taken from Integration Repository).
Select the Quality of Service according to your interface type. If you are using a synchronous interface, select Best Effort. Otherwise, select Exactly Once or Exactly Once in Order.
Transport protocol : HTTP

Integrating FIM with SAP using web services connector

Hi
I am implementing the FIM web services connector to integrate with SAP. The MS connector config guide for SAP documentation seems to me missing some content or at least I think it might be written for an earlier version of
SAP than the version we are working with(different screenshots, options, etc). The version of SAP we have implemented is EHP6 for SAP ERP6 which I believe translates to ECC6.
SAP web services have been configured and FIM performs successful discovery of the wsdl endpoint and BAPI operations as expected. Our issue is that FIM fails to run a full import. From the digging around web service config and error logs two observations comes
out:
1. FIM Full Import workflow does not render correctly through the web service configuration tool and complains of a duplicate attribute "xml:space is a duplicate attribute on line on line 424 on position 103". Review of the wsconfig generated by the
webservice config tool points to an variable supplied to a construct the query to a BAPI of HR infotype 0006. Extract below:
...<InArgument x:TypeArguments="d:BAPIP0006L" xml:space="preserve">[If(Not IsNothing(addressInfo) AndAlso Not IsNothing(addressInfo.item), addressInfo.item, Enumerable.Empty(Of BAPIP0006L)()).
OrderByDescending(Function(a) DateTime.ParseExact(a.VALIDBEGIN, dataSourceDateFormatValue, Nothing)).
ThenByDescending(Function(a) Integer.Parse(a.RECORDNR)).FirstOrDefault()]</InArgument>...
I can only guess that it means the query should keep the spaces within the string it passes to SAP but this is where my understanding stops.
2. SAP returns errors about not implementing a BAPI EMPLOYEE_GETDATA function which is not part of the exposed BAPI operations. Well the obvious solution to this would be expose this missing operation (which is undocumented in MS config guide) however this
BAPI is a core requirement to retrieve person information. I would be hugely surprised if this operation was not factored into the config. This makes me think that to understand this better I need to resolve issue 1 first and get the rendering sorted first.
Has anyone come across the above issues with a recent implementation with this connector? Or help point me in the right direction?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!!

Hi Joe,
you most probably missed the sentence "Add the required BAPI’s in the function group and select those required BAPI’s and click continue." in the "Connector for SAP.docx" document on page 8. In other words your webservice does not provide the required
BAPIs.
In the "DefaultSAPECC_6.wsconfig" the workflows for import and export require specific BAPIs.
Also make sure that your Service Definition has got the same name as in the documentation and the workflow template.
I was fighting with this for the last 4 days but in the end got it working.
Hope this helps

Integration SUS with SAP Invoice Management

Hi,
We are implementing the SUS portal (Supplier Self-Service) of SRM, together with SAP Invoice Management by OpenText. When you create an invoice in the SUS portal, it is send to the backend (ECC) as an IDoc of type INVOIC01.
We can read this IDoc into SAP Invoice Management (SIM), through the IDoc interface, for which we have mapped the data fields in the configuration of SIM. This works fine for most of the fields, but we have difficulties with two fields.
The SUS portal seems to put the ISO code of the unit of measurement (UOM) in the IDoc, but SIM expects the internal SAP UOM code. Similarly, the Service Entry Sheet number in the IDoc is only the external reference number, and not the internal SES number (which SIM needs).
Is there any way to configure these fields (either in SUS or SIM), without having to make a conversion function module? I ask this question, because my client is really hesitant when requesting to make a development....
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions that you make!
Kind regards, Paul

Hi Paul,
If there is no way to change it in SUS (which I don't know as I don't know SUS), then I don't think there is an option other than using a own development for the conversion. Either using a conversion function module or using a custom business rule which does the conversion.
Do you use the standard delivered function module /OPT/DP_INBOUND_IDOC_PROC as the processing FM? If not, maybe you could do the conversion in the processing FM (provided you already use a custom processor).
Regards,
Martin

Integrating inspection with SAP ME

Hello Experts,
Need some inputs here. I have sent orders to SAP ME (using both LOIPRO01 and LOIPRO02 Idoc types). The shop order is created and we are able to get the inspection lot and SFC Group size (calcualted as Order quantity - Scrap quantity from IDoc) in the QM Inspection tab of the shop order.
What we are not able to get is the related operation / routing step to which inspection charactetisctics are assigned in SAP ERP and the Inspection sample size. What am I missing here?
Also, if my understanding is correct, I need to create a DC Group to capture the inspection values through a POD. In DC Group maintenace, there is a check box called QM Inspection group and the help document says it comes from ERP. What makes is "selected"
Would appreciate any inputs on this.
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Sergiy,
We have an issue with following scenario related to Quality Inspection Lot.
Scenario Details: We have a production order qty of 20 which created a shop order with qty 20 and the SFC Group Size is also 20 on the QM inspection tab of the Shop Order. The Inspection Sample Size is 2 based on our sampling procedure. The Lot Size in the ME material is 5.
When we release the shop order, it created 4 SFCs (each with qty 5) as expected. But when we tried to perform sampling on these SFCs, we are getting a message "No SFC group meets SFC Group Size value" and it does not mark any SFC for data collection. All the SFCs in the group are marked True for Complete Pending.
We tried to change the Lot Size of the material in ME to 1 and repeated the process. It worked in that case.
Can you please help us understand what is that we are missing in the case of Lot size 5.
Thanks in advance!!

Crytal Integration with SAP BW

Need help.
I have read some links at SDN, like Getting started link on BO and also [http://www.businessobjects.com/product/packages/] to understand do we have to buy any additional licenses to use Crytal reports with my SAP BI 70?
1) We already own Crystal Enterprise. We are using for Non SAP Data
2) I remember to see SAP's integration kit in BW 3.5 and toolset to allow creating Crystal Reports on BW Queries. Also remember as SAP Customer we have access to create 10 queries even when we do not have Crystal License.
3) Since we have Crystal Enterprise already, do we need to buy additional Licenses for using it for SAP BW.
My question is limited to Crytal because SAP had some content development relationship with Crystal before.
BusinessObjects XI Integration Kit for SAP wiill certainly will allow it but is it really needed for Crystal Reports?
Can some one clarify?
Pankaj

hi pankaj,
Integration of SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0
Use
You can integrate a number of objects and applications of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 5.0.
SAP EP 5.0 includes the following objects:
Applications are designated as Services in the Enterprise Portal.
With the integration of roles, the role migration from all services automatically creates External Services, as long as the services have not been saved in the BEx Web Application Designer as iViews. External services are displayed in the portal as applications that fill an entire page.
iViews are services that encompass an entire page in the portal. A portal page can consist of several iViews from different systems and sources (for example, the Web).
iView files are files with the ending .ivu that include a description of the iView in XML. You can import IView files without direct role migration into the portal.
Prerequisites
You have made the necessary settings in SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0. You can find more information under Making Settings for SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0.
Features
You can use the following BW services in the SAP Enterprise Portal 5.0:
·        BEx Web application
·        BEx Web Application As an iView
·        BEx Web application as an iView file
·        BW query
·        BW workbook
·        Crystal Report
The following options are available for integration:
·        BW services integration using roles with the help of role migration
For more information, see Integration Using Roles.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer
For more information, see Integration Using iViews.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer
For more information, see Integration Using iViews.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using Create as External Service in the Portal
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP5.0 SP6 ® Administration Guide ® iViews ® Java iViews ® Creating Java iViews ® Creating Java iViews for BEx Web Applications.
·        Integration of BW services using the iView Wizard in the portal
For more information, see Integrating BW Services Using the iView Wizard .
The integration of BW contents into the Enterprise Portal ideally takes place using Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser. In some circumstances, you can also integrate other BW components, such as the Administrator Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the Portal. For more information, see Integration of BW Components into the Portal.
Integration Using Roles
Use
You can save all of the BW services supported by the Portal - except for the iView files in the BW system. By using role migration you can integrate these BW services quickly and easily into the portal.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP5.0 SP6 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Roles and SAP Systems ® Migration of SAP Roles to the Enterprise Portal ® Using Migrated Services to Roles and Worksets.
Features
The migration logs are usually stored under ...irj
esourcesSAPMigration.
The location of the irj directories is dependent on the J2EE Server.
Checking Migration:
You can check the migration via Content Admin ® Roles. You can use Preview to execute the migrated services both in the View Areaand in the Edit Area. If you have assigned a role to a user, you can check the total role completely.
Integration Using iViews
Use
The integration of the BW system and the portal with iViews is possible by using the role migration and the import of iView files. iViews are structured in the portal in channels.
Features
Role migration
With role migration, the iViews contained in the BW role are created in the iView server, where a separate channel is created for each role migrated from the BW system. The channel receives the name of the migrated BW role automatically from the system.
You can view the migrated iViews in the portal in the iView editor by using Content-Admin ® iViews. Select the name of the channel there.
If the iViews already exist in the portal, they are neither deleted nor overwritten. You can remove the iViews manually by using Edit ® Delete.
Import of iView files
BW iViews are in the portal Java iViews.
       1.      Therefore, choose the category Java iViews before the import.
       2.      In the iView editor under Content-Admin ® iViews, choose the Import function.
iViews are currently only supported in one language (English).If the English language is not maintained for an iView, then a technical name is created from the logical system and from the BW template ID.
You can change the texts for iViews using Content Admin ® iViews. Select an iView and choose Edit.
In addition, note that with BEx Web applications under Content Admin ® iViews ® Edit on the Load tab page, the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server has to be activated.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
For the display of iViews in the portal, the assignment of iViews to the portal pages and their assignment to roles is necessary.
Assigning iViews to pages
       1.      Under Content-Admin ® Pages, choose the New function to create new pages in the portal.
       2.      Under the Content tab page, select the iViews you want.
If necessary, you need to change the Display selection to All or Not Selected to select new iViews.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Pages ® Defining the Page Content (Content tab).
Assigning pages to roles
       1.      Before a page is able to be viewed by a user, you have to assign it to a role.
       2.      Under Content-Admin ® Roles, select a role for editing and choose Edit.
       3.      Under View Area ® Show, select the Pages entry.
       4.      Select a page and choose Add to add it to a role.
If necessary, select the file as Is Entry Point, so that the page is then able to be viewed.
The option Mark first-level folders as entry point means that the file is valid on the highest level in the role as the point of entry. This selection causes assigned users to this role to receive this file, displayed in the initial navigation bar.
You can also restrict this setting subsequently with the help of Content Admin ® Roles for the specific file.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Role Maintenance ® Creating Roles and Assigning Contents ® Assignment of Content Objects to Roles.
Assigning roles
Afterwards, you have to assign the particular role to the user.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® User Management ® Assignment of Users and Groups to Roles.
Check
To check iViews in the portal according to the assignments described above, you need to call up the portal again.
Calling up the Enterprise Portal is possible by using the URL http:///sapportal.
See also:
You can find additional information about Roles and Role Migration in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Roles.
You can find additional information about iViews and the iView-Editor in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® iViews.
Integrating BW Services Using the iView Wizard
Use
In addition to the integration of iViews using role migration, you can also use the iView wizard in the portal to integrate iViews into the portal.
Procedure
Call up the iView wizard using Content-Admin ® iViews.
As the type, choose Java.
Choose New iView.
On the Info tab page, specify a Unique Name and an iView Title.
On the Load tab page, choose the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server.
On the Java tab page, choose BW Web Application as the application type.
Choose Next.
Select the BW system from the dropdown box.
Specify the BW Query String.
Choose Finish.
Choose Add.
The BW Query String is the part of the BEx Web application URL that is found after the question mark, for example, ?cmd=ldoc&template=0Query_template.
You obtain the query string.
in the BEx Web application designer:
Choose Web Template ® Open to open the Web template for the BEx Web application you want.
Select the Web template from your history, your favorites, or your rolls by double clicking on it.
In the Web application designer, choose Publish ® Copy URL in Clipboard.
in the Web application executed on the Web
Note that the Web application has to be in its initial status. That means that you have not yet navigated there, but rather that you only displayed the Web application on the Web.
In the context menu for Internet Explorer, choose Properties.
Select the Address (URL) and choose Copy in the context menu.
You now have the URL on the clipboard and can then use the query string for entry in the iView wizard.
Note that you have to specify the correct stylesheet when creating iViews manually.
Choose under Content-Admin ® iViews next to the Edit iView.
On the Java tab page, select the BIReports30 stylesheet under Look and Feel Theme Part for BW Reports.
Using System Configuration ® Styles, you can edit stylesheets that each user can then select themselves using Personalize: Portal.
The style editor also contains entries for BEx Web applications under Elements ® Complex Elements.
The modified stylesheets are transferred automatically to the BW system so that the BEx Web Applications are suitably displayed in the stylesheet for the portal.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
Result
You have now integrated a Web application as an iView into the portal. Before you can display the iView in the portal, you have to assign the iView to a page. The page has to be assigned to your role. See also Integrating Using iViews.
Integration of BW Components into the Portal
Use
The integration of BW contents into the Enterprise Portal ideally takes place using Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser. In some circumstances, you can also integrate other BW components, such as the Administrator Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the Portal.
Features
Calling the Administrator Workbench
The Administrator Workbench is a comprehensive SAP transaction that functions only in connection with a locally-installed SAP GUI for Windows. With a SAP GUI for Windows 6.20, you do not have to log on again if you want to display SAP GUI for Windows transactions on the Web (single sign-on is supported).
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RSA1.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Analyzer
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is an Excel add-in with extensive OLAP functionality in connection with a BW system. In order to use the BEx Analyzer, you have to have the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend installed locally. For technical reasons, the BEx Analyzer opens in a separate window. You do not have to log on again because single sign-on is supported. A SAP GUI for Windows appears in the Enterprise Portal window in the work area.
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMX.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling BW Workbooks
BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded queries. BW workbooks need the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend.
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. BW workbooks are suitable for Windows with Excel.
We recommend that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that also run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the Web application context menu as an alternative to a local installation of the BW Frontend if you need to use the functions of Excel. See Functions of the Context Menu and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
SAP role migration automatically generates external services that point to BW workbooks. HERE AND CHECK PATHS
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMXP.
Choose Finish to save the external service.
You then have to add the following parameters using Edit since you cannot enter these using the wizard.
The parameter Additional Dynpro Parameters name-value-pairs (n1=v1;n2=v2;... optional allows the workbook ID to be specified (for example WBID=CN24XRCKJ8HDDIZ3CCUTGPF1A).
Under Process first screen automatically?, enter the value True.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Web Application Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Web Application Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Web Application Designer from the Windows start menu.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbpwpub.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Query Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Query Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Query Designer from the Windows start menu.
As an alternative to the BEx Query Designer, in a Web environment such as the Enterprise Portal, you can use the BEx Ad-hoc Query Designer to create or change queries. You can insert the Ad-hoc Query Designer into a Web application and integrate it using the role migration, for example, or as an iView into the Enterprise Portal. For more information, see Functions of the Ad-hoc Query Designer.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbrlog.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Browser
The BEx Browser behaves like the BEx Web Application Designer or the BEx Query Designer.
There is little point in using the BW-specific BEx Browser in a company-wide Enterprise Portal because the basic functionality of the BEx Browser (calling reports) is covered in the Enterprise Portal.

Differences SAP BW 3.5 SAP EP 6.0 & SAP BW 2.x/3.x SAP EP 5
Use of BW Objects in the Enterprise Portal
For the end user, there are no significant differences in the integration between SAP BW and SAP EP as regards the various release combinations. The updates and changes in SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 have no effect on the use of BW objects in the portal. You can find more information on the changes under Differences between SAP EP 5.0 and SAP EP 6.0.
Publishing BW Objects to the Enterprise Portal
There are significant differences in publishing of BEx Web applications in SAP EP 6.0 with SAP BW 3.5 in comparison to integration between SAP BW 2.x/3.x - SAP EP 5.0. Publishing in SAP BW 3.5 is done using the BEx Web Application Designer, BEx Query Designer or the BEx Broadcaster.
In SAP EP 5.0, the SAP BW system (or the SAP BW systems) is maintained in the system landscape, through which a call of BEx Web applications is possible at runtime. In SAP BW 2.x/3.x systems, the SAP Enterprise Portal (or SAP Enterprise Portals) are not maintained. Thus a BW system only has a one-sided connected to a portal. For this reason, the inclusion of BW content must also be done in a separate step in the portal.
In SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW system is also maintained in the system landscape. In addition, one or more SAP Enterprise Portals 6.0 can be entered in the SAP BW 3.5 system. Through deployment of Java components of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW 3.5 System can access and display contents of the portal. In the BEx Application Designer, assigned portal roles, content from the Portal Content Catalog, and documents and folders from Knowledge Management are displayed in the open and save dialogs. During save, iViews or documents can be created directly from the BEx Web Application Designer or BEx Query Designer without having to take separate steps in the portal. Using Information Broadcasting, documents and links can be generated in Knowledge Management. These documents and links can be visualized using the BEx Portfolio.
You can find more information on integration options under Integration of SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 6.0.

Hi Balaji,
No, a sap user who wants to send mails to outlook users and the user sending the mail to outlook must get all the users of outlook in sap,in auto look up mode.(When using outlook for sending the mails,when you want to send a mail suppose to user"balaji" if you click type "b"on address bar you can see all th users name starting with b...like balaji,balram,basker etc......)
We need a way to have an e-mail address look-up/auto-complete (preferably from the Exchange Global Address list) feature anywhere that you would put an email address into the SAPGUI interface
Something like the email address auto-complete feature in Outlook (never mind that this is a client-side feature).Another possibility is the address lookup feature (pressing crtl-k in Outlook).
Please see the attached document for the actual scenario.
I tried using the distribution list (so23),but we have thousands of users in outlook.It is not apprciable to make those many entries in the list, and more over the user will not be sending the same po to same individuals at every given time.
Please share with me any docs which can give clear picture about this prosedure to be followed to either get this done or integrating outlook with sap(the last option i supppose)
