Integration of SAP with Lotus Notes

Hi Friends:
How are you all doing? I have a query for you all.
Background:
I have a very customer who is currently running on SAP 4.7 Enterprise Edition Version 2. They have Lotus Notes Verison 6.5 Version in place.
Business Case:
When an employee applies for a leave, his manager should get this notification in to his LOTUS NOTES Inbox.
Right now employee's manager has to logon in SAP to check the same. So the basic requirement is to integrate SAP inbox with the LOTUS NOTES Inbox so that person can get notification of SAP workitem (leave request) in Lotus notes without having to logon to SAP.
Challenges:
1) Customer does not want to upgrade to NetWeaver hence XI will be a expensive solution to accompilish the task.
2) There are third party adapters engines available through which integration can be done at the lowest possible efforts but we are not considering this option.
3) If we upgrade Lotus notes to the version such 7.0, plug-in is inbuilt but we are also not considering this particular option.
NOTE: We are looking at the cheapest possible option.
Request for:
Please let me know can it be done using ABAP language. If yes, please send me the link so that i could refer to the alternative.
Early response will be highly appreciated.
With Best Regards
Amit Bansal.

Hi Amit,

Integration of Oracle with Lotus Notes

Hello,
I have a requirement to interface from my Oracle APEX application to a third party Lotus Notes application.
This would be a two way interface
1) Lotus notes app to call an Oracle packaged procedure to insert into some Oracle tables
2) Oracle APEX App via a Table Trigger to insert into a Lotus Notes table
After the inserts it should be possible to view the data in the Oracle APEX app and in the Lotus Notes app
I am a complete novice to Java but I understand JDBC could be a good method to solve this requirement
For the two way interface the Oracle code would be
1) Lotus notes app to call an Oracle packaged procedure to insert into some Oracle tables
te_pkg.insert_project
(I_work_request_no IN VARCHAR2
,I_description IN VARCHAR2
,I_originator_email IN VARCHAR2
,I_auth_user_email IN VARCHAR2
,I_it_manager_email IN VARCHAR2
,I_raised_date IN DATE
,I_latest_est_days IN NUMBER
2) Oracle APEX App via a Table Trigger to insert into a Lotus Notes table
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRIG_proj_AFTER
AFTER
UPDATE ON Project FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF :new.status = 3 THEN -- Project Completed
** INSERT INTO Lotus notes temp table with :new.work_request_no, :new.status
END IF;
END;
Any suggestions and code snippets, particularly for pushing the Project Status INSERT to Lotus Notes would be appreciated.
I stress again I am a complete novice to JAVA so simple step by step instructions would help.
Kind Regards
Ade

Integration between "SAP PI-Lotus Notes/Domino" "SAP PI-PeopleSoft"

Hi all,
I have been working with XI (most of the time integrating SAP systems and third parties) for years but now i face following situation, i have to integrate SAP systems with Oracle systems, Lotus systems, Peoplesoft systems and so on, using XI.
I have achieved SAP-XI-Oracle integration using JDBC adapter but i do not know what is the best practice when trying to do the other integrations.
I ve read that adapter engine XInotes is a good approach in PI-LOTUS scenarios, so the JDE adapter (iway) for the PI-PEOPLESOFT. But, is there a way to achieve my requirements with the standar adapters without too much effort in the backends and not too much programming in XI?
i know there is no perfect solution but any help will be much appreciated (and of course, rewarded with points)
Thanks in advance and best regards,
David

Regarding Peoplesoft
think it all depands on the amount and types of interfaces and data needed needed to be transfered between the systems.
We need to go over the Iway solution and see what are the featyres given by the adapter.
(from a brief read of the iway pdf) i saw they use the same methods (XML,SOAP,IDocs) to interact between systems.
the adavtage of Iway might be the fast implementation (out of the box maybe) and that there might be no development needed...big adavantage.
But some times the use of XI fits better because of the costs of the adapter or the ability to be a hub and send this data to other systems as well (again I'm not familiar with I-way solution so maybe they can do it to if they have a development enviorment for the adapter).
I reccomand you to contact I-way and get as much info as possible then decide wether its better to go with XI or the adapter.
I give you an example from SAP...
the CRM solution comes with an application called data migrator or something like that,this tool synchronize master data betweenn the SAP CRM and SAP ERP...this tool was written for the CRM and becasue of that fits well for the integration (4000 software developers can't go wrong.... )
For this integration between the systems XI is not a match for my opinion and it will take some developments in XI (the easy part) and in ABAP for the CRM and R3(not so easy part) to integrate thouse two.
So......
Go over the Blue print or understand the customer integration needs and scenarios.
Then decide according to the I-way information on the adapter which way is the best..XI or 3rd party adapter.
By the way webmethod is an instegration tool like XI and as I recall they dont have a Peploe soft specific adapter.

Can you please try to do the following in the steps .
1) Search for the file nslbe.dll which can be in the folder c:\program files\notes . Add the location to the PATH variable in the environment variables.
2) Go to the installation folder for Lotus notes which might be c:\program files\Lotus\Notes\jvm\lib\ext . In this folder please put the following files Notes.jar,mail.jar,activation.jar, nslbe.dll. Please do take care that you will need to add the files in the folder ..\jvm\lib\ext
3) Add the ..\jvm\lib\ext folder location to your environment variables.
4) Create a environment variable JAVA_HOME and add the location of the jre-bin,lib and the JDK-bin,lib to this.
Restart your Server and the system where in you want to install the connector and try to run the installation again .

SAP integration with Lotus Notes

Also:
The SBOMailer Service uses SMTP for sending emails - that means if the
Lotus Notes have an SMTP gateway/connector your client will be able to
use it for sending emails. Be aware that the gateway should not use SMTP
authentification (please see the note 782611). In that case you should
use an additional program between Lotus Notes and SBOMailer Service.
==================
Any other intergration does not exist to the best of my knowledge.
Hope some of this is useful.

Re: Link between sap crm 2007 with lotus 8
Posted: Oct 23, 2008 10:30 PM    in response to: Naveen Raju       E-mail this message      Reply
Hi Naveen,
thanks for your detailed description. This is exactly the way how the Client GWI is getting set up. one little remark from my side on the steps.
The user field are not required to be filled if you use Lotus Notes. this is only for the case of MS Outlook where you can start the synch from the OL Screen as well.
The password field is not used with either groupware system. So you leave it blank and with the first replication run you are asked to type (and maybe save) your password. it is there as the application is shared with Mobiel sales as well and therfore we could not get rid of it.
Supported platforms
In general both the server and client GWI were tested with Lotus 8.0 and CRM 7.0.
For server GWI Domino 8 is already supported for greater CRM 5.0, so should work with LD 8.0.
The installation guide for GWI is available here ...

Integrating javamail with lotus notes?

Dear All,
The organization I am now working in have a well established email infrastructure based on Lotus Notes. We are now taking the responsibility to develop the web mail service for users accessing their Lotus Notes emails via WWW. In this case is it possible to use JavaMail to accompanish this task? I have no experience with Lotus Notes, what protocol do I have to use to communicate with Lotus Notes? If JavaMail is not suitable for this task, is there any other products which can help?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks a lot for your help!
regards, wilLotus Notes/Domino enables one to access it's mail services via several protocols other than just Notes RPC. For example, one could use HTTP, POP3, and IMAP4...all accessing the same mail backend services. Mail repositories are in the proprietary Notes database (NSF files). These databases contain designs which enable different behavior based on the the protocol/client accessing the mail store.
The Notes/Domino Server has all the above protocols native (as well as smtp) to the server, all you have to do is turn on the protocols you want to support, and vioala!...It's really quite a robust messaging infrastructure.
Based on what you described, I'm not sure why you'd need JavaMail...just leverage the services you already get with the Domino infrastructure.
Good Luck.

Set up Workflow with Lotus Notes

Does anybody know a procedure or a guide to configure the Sap Workflow with Lotus Notes?
I would like to do a scenario looks like follow:
- a user create a purchase order on Sap;
- the workflow system sends a email to an approver (to Lotus Notes);
- the approver reads the email and can approve or reject. This step is done inside Lotus Notes.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Renato.

Hi ,
You can achieve it in following simplest
1. Create a simple BSP page for approval and Rejection.
Send the link of this page in the mail to the lotus notes server . Lotus notes user will open the mail and he will click on the link to get the BSP page .
Handle the process that should happen after the user makes an action in the "OnInputProcessing" event of the BSP page.
Pls reward if useful.
