Interface SAP CAD

Hi all!
I'm starting a new project that requires the use of the interface for the CAD Applications. I'm fresh in this area sadly... could anyone be so kind of giving the main steps of this process? I am only allowed to use standards. The sap in use is 4.6c
thx a lot
regards

Hi Karsten,
first of all, thanks for your anwser. I have another questions, if you don't mind
-briefly, how does the comunication between SAP and CAD works. by file, RFC?
-Does the CAD interface of SAP supports all CAD applications? if not,
what are the most common ones? Have to say that the CAD Application to
work on, has not yet been chosen
thx a lot for your time
Kind regards, Luis

Data transfer b/w SAP to Java using IDOC and Interface SAP Jco

Dear Experts,
The challenging requirement we are having is, we need to create the interface for data transfer between SAP system and the Java system. The data will be transferred from SAP to java and similarly once some processing done in Java again the details needs to be transferred from Java to SAP.
For this data transferred we are planning to use IDOC process and for interface "SAP Java connector (Version 3.0.5)" we are planning to use. As per our understanding, from Java side one program needs to be written to connect with SAP as "Registered program". This registered program will appear in SAP GATEWAY automatically and using tRFC, TCP/IP connection both SAP and Java system will be connected.
In this case we are having some doubts.
1. The data from SAP is going to be transfered from one Custom transaction (Z tcode). Once "Outbound IDOC" will get triggered and will carry the details. Now the doubt is, whether the data / details will get transfered to JAVA system automatically or we need to perform any other steps from SAP ABAP coding...(like converting in to flat file, XML file and etc) ??
2. We are planning to install "SAP Jco" in Java server. Is this correct...??
3. Other than SAP Jco any other softwares needs to be installed or not..??
4. Since we are going to trigger the "outbound IDOC" from custom transaction, we are planning to develope one program in SE37. Other than this any other program we need to develop or not..??
5. Any sample Java program for the SAP Jco version 3.0.5 to create the "Registered program" with SAP..? (e.g. SAP Listener program).?
If anybody has detailed steps or explanation please share it with us.
Thanks in advance
Warm Regards,
VEL

Hi All,
For the above mentioned issue, we implemented JCo software in JAVA system and created the JAVA program including SAP logon credential details like Client, User name, password and Language details.
When this JAVA program was compiled successfully then, that non SAP system will appear in SAP gateway Tcode.
Once non SAP system started appearing in SAP gateway that means, both SAP & Non SAP are connected automatically.

SAP CAD Interface

Hello,
Does any one let me know how to proceed for interfacing the SAP system 4.7 with CAD software?
I am unable to find the documentation on how to create the connection between SAP and CAD.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan,
I am not a CAD+SAP expert, but afaik, the communication between CAD and SAP is happening with so-called Dialog-RFC.
A document I have found that might be interesting to look into is <a href="http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/CACAD/CACAD.pdf">available here</a>.

Testing CAD-Desktop interface with CAD-system

Hi,
does anybody know if it is possible to get a CAD-system for free to test the CAD-Desktop interface of SAP?
I am not a key CAD user, I just want to look how CAD Desktop works.
Regards,
Oliver

You do not need CAD system to work with CAD Desktop
call transaction SE37
In Function module enter : CDESK_SHOW
or CDESK_TEST
Fill the import paramenters
Execute it
CAD Desktop will appear

SAP CAD Integration

Hi
Can anybody tell me how to integrate SAP And AutoCAD.
what I require is , I can get the design parameters from SAP . With these Design parameters, I need an Auto CAD Drawing Directly.
Regards,
Shrini

Hi,
In fact in the latest SAP ERP versions (4.7 and upward), the CAD integration is done using a single transaction called CAD-Desktop in R/3.
This interface gives an overview of all the files used, linked to a specified BOM for example.
But the actual link with the CAD system is specific to each CAD system, and the possibilities depend directly on the interface you have.
I used the AutoCAD interface 3 years ago, and it was quite poor ... what you need to do is to check the precise list of functionnalities offered by the developper of the interface.
What you see end read on the SAP side is just the maximum you can have !

Interfacing SAP R/3 4.7 Order Management with GTS 3.0 or GTS future release

Scenario I
During order entry (Tcode VA01) in SAP R/3 4.7 users would like to prevent an order from being saved for a certain product if it is not ok to order / blocked for shipment. The current thought is that GTS (version 3.0) has data loaded that is used to check during delivery creation whether a delivery is ok to ship or not.
Can such a check using GTS be carried out during order entry. The requirement is to do a real-time call to GTS during VA01 and if the device is not ok to order user should get an error message letting them know the reason why the order cannot be saved. I believe there is no real time interface supported between order entry and GTS and so this type of a check may not be available during order entry.
Scenario II
After an order has been saved in SAP R/3 4.7 users would like to know before the delivery gets created for this order if this order will be blocked from shipping due to sanctions in GTS.
The current concern is that users cannot tell till it the order is ready to ship if the delivery will be blocked for shipment. If there is a way in GTS (via a report / transaction) to let the users know that this order is on not ok to ship then users can take proactive steps to address the issue rather than having to wait till the delivery note is about to be created.
If anyone can highlight if there is any capabilities in GTS 3.0 or future releases of GTS to support the above scenarios OR any potential workaround to address these scenarios that will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Samir Agarwal

Hi,
Dont know about GTS 3.0, but in GTS 7X we have the option to prevent an order from being saved if it is not complying with any of the regulations or is not ok for further customs processing.
Its not possible to give a real time update in va01. but when you try to save it, it'll throw an error log. though you will be able to save it but the sales order will be blocked for any further processing.
It'll will not allow you to do delivery on this order (which shows a status blocked). I guess this suffice the requirement in both scenarios.

Vivek

Interface : SAP R/3 PS to MicroSoft PS

Hi all,
I am currently working on an outbound interface (custom program) that transports data from SAP R/3 Project System to Microsoft Project System . I am having problem in mapping between the fields of both the systems.Does anyone have any idea about how the mapping happens.
Any immediate help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Anirban

Is that mapping supposed to happen in a middleware which takes the data from SAP, transforms into a target format and sends it.

XI interface SAP R/3 - XI SAP R/3

Gents,
Im trying to create an interface from R/3 via XI back to the same R/3 system. In this interface i'm converting IDoc with message type SHPORD to message type DESADV.
The IDoc is leaving the R/3 system with the following partner profile parameters:
Partner type: KU
Partner function: WE
The IDoc should be returned with the following partner profile parameters:
partner type: LI
Partner function: LF
I have completed the design fase (Interface - and Message mapping) and also the R/3 parameters are set.
The problem for me is that i can't find any example how to set up this kind of interface. I hope some of you have already dealt with this kind of interface.
Any help is welcome!!
Kind regards,
Peter Boertien

Hi Peter,
I think that this explanation from the XI documentation is aplicable in your situation:
+
Alternative Identifiers for Communication Using the IDoc Adapter
If the IDoc adapter is used for the communication between a business system and the Integration Server, IDoc partners that are not of type LS (logical system) must be mapped to the communication party.
Example
This applies, for example, to IDoc partners of type LI (supplier).
To do this, you must define special alternative identifiers according to the following schema:
· The name of the service determines the issuing agency, for example, BUS_100.
· Partner type and (optionally) partner role determine the identification scheme, for example ALE#LI.
· The partner number of the IDoc determines the name, for example 0000023345.
Note
For communication using an IDoc partner of type LS (logical system) you do not need to assign an IDoc partner to an XI party. Such IDoc partners are addressed at service level.
Communication partners, for which alternative identifiers were defined with a business system as agencies, are displayed in the IDoc Partner tab page for the relevant business system (see Business System (Service)).
For more information about communication between business systems and the Integration Server by means of the IDoc adapter, see SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/netweaver ® SAP NetWeaver ® Media Library ® How-to Guides ® Exchange Infrastructure ® How To Sample IDoc Scenarios Within XI 3.0.

Interface SAP/ABAP-Host - Non SAP/ABAP Host

Hi experts,
I need to define an interface technoloty between an ABAP-host and a Non-ABAP host.
I know, that non-abap hosts are able to call RFC-Function Modules of the ABAP-host and that I can use this method to exchange data between the systems. This means, the non-abap host starts the action.
But I don't know, how I can do it on the other way, so that the ABAP-host starts the action.
So how can I call a function/program on the non-abap host out of SAP?
Do I need to define this as an external program call in SM59?
And if so, how does the syntax needs to be look-like, which I need to implement in ABAP.
Is it an normal RFC-FM which has the destination of the SM59?
Kind regards and thank you for every tip.

Hi Christian,
SUP i.e Sybase is the interface which is used to connect non SAP to SAP system via RFC-FM. It does not require to do RFC settings through SM59.

Reg: Interface - SAP payroll data to payroll system

I am downloading employee data from SAP to TAB delimited flat files.
For this , i am using logical databases PNP ,Info type P0002 and tables CATSDB.
In selection screen, i am getting the file name by using PARAMETRERS.
1.Then at selection-screen , I am calling a method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG for display a file open dialog .
then using GET , i am collecting the reocords into an internal table and then downloading using CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
MY DOUBTS ARE
1.this is an interface program,as the interface run, a log file should be produced.how to do this???
2.I am using CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG . is there an alternate function for this???
3.Give me more information on CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG and RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST ?????
4.Payroll data downloaded from SAP must be separated into different files depending on receiving payroll system and business unit. This is because the data file will be specific to payroll system and business unit. The file will however have the same format .
i.e.From : SAP SYSTEM
 To:various systems
 1.PBHR
 2.MICROPAY
 3.PAYFLEX
 4.UNIPAY
So what conditions i need to put???
Pl kindly reply imm

Jayasree,
1.this is an interface program,as the interface run, a log file should be produced.how to do this???
Generate a log in a internal table and use the method to download the data into a file. This will be your log file.
2. I am using CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG . is there an alternate function for this???
This will open a dialog where the user can choose which file needs to be read. This is the latest method that SAP has given, not sure why are you looking for alternatives.
3. Give me more information on CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG and RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST ?????
Sames as above.
4. The conditions you need to know probably from your functional consultants as to which data needs to go to which system.

Ravi

Interfacing SAP with Essbase

Hi all,
we would like to create interface between SAP(data source contain all views) to Essbase. Currently we are using Oracle Financials for mappping data into Essbase. Kindly let us know your views and suggestions on the same.

Hi Herath,
1. Through the SAP GUI i should be able to process the documents which are available in the SAP repository and store them in an external repository system
It is always possible to all you want in SAP using your SAP GUI, that will never be a problem. Storing the result in external system say your local machine is also possible, you can download them as files etc.
Is this possible through JCo interface? Or else what other mechanisms can be followed.
This is also possible through JCo. The main reason we opt for JCo is to achieve the above mentioned functionality from an external system (non SAP) eg: creating materials in SAP from a external application. This is where you mainly need the help of JCo.
Hope this will solve your problem. Let me know if you need anything more.
Thanks

Interface SAP PP and a SQLSERVER database

Hello,
I have a database in SQL Server used for EPRS information system that manages the production.
The problem is that I want to transfer data from SAP PP
to EPRS database in SQLSERVER.
So in terms of productivity, it would be useful to retrieve the info already under SAP and place them in good tables.
my question is whether it is feasible to make this transfer and how I can define the file interface.
Thank you in advance for those who can help me do a move would be a little

you can very well transfer the production details. first you need to decide what are the data you need to transfer, based on that we can develop a functionality.
