Is the cloud raining on SAPs parade?

An interesting article saying some now consider SAP "legacy software" compared to cloud based applications.
Quote "It was a good run SAP. Weu2019ll take it from here."

The dominant rigidity of on-premise ERP systems appears to be evaporating with the advent of more flexible cloud-based applications. The massively creative and intelligent people that companies spend millions hiring can actually use their minds for new ideas and not just conforming to systems. As companies spend more time on creative initiatives and innovative projects, they can grow and outpace their competitors. Moving to the cloud becomes not only a competitive advantage, but an imperative.
lol.
<xsl:sarcasm>
Dave Yarnold is CEO of ServiceMax apparently yet another salesman talking about concepts which "ARE IMPERATIVE!" because they sound cool. And are creative. And stuff like that. Or maybe he just wants to have a taste of raiding other companies with the immense computing power of a cloud network as in:

Oh dear...
May the cloud be with you my fellow SDNers.

Can I search for iDOCS in the Cloud?

We are integrated with our OnPrem system via HCI for Customers and Employees. A change occurred to one of our employees within our ERP system (last name changed). The change came over to our OnPrem system from ERP and an iDOC was generated to send the changed information to the Cloud. The iDOC has a green status and not indicating any errors. However, when we look at the record in the cloud, the last name of the employee is not updated. We checked Business Communication Monitoring and find no errors. So, in summary, the iDOC was sent successfully to the cloud, the record was not updated but there are no errors.
Can you search the cloud for the iDOC that was sent from OnPrem?
How do we go about finding out why the record was not updated?
Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this.
Jeff

Hello Jeff,
There is no direct way of searching an IDOC is cloud for system, as Cloud for system only receives XML messages . Here is what you need to do (I am assuming in WE21 on your ERP system the content type is set to Text/XML and SOAP protocol option is checked )
In HCI message monitor based on the time stamp locate the message which corresponds to the IDOC. In the message monitor log the IDOC no should be listed in a line similar to "com.sap.sod.utils.idoc.soap.idocassign= [0000000001472565,0000000001472565]" and you should see another line for the message ID similar to "com.sap.sod.utils.idoc.soap.messageid= 005056B239651ED480D7B2C829F3878D"
Take the message id from HCI message monitor and then in the web service monitoring in your Cloud system under the advanced section provide the message id to locate the message.
This is bit cumbersome process specifically the HCI monitoring part but as of now this is only way of searching.

Process Orchestration in the Cloud?

Hi all,
I'd like to have a SAP NW Process Orchestration on a Cloud environment (thus: BPM + AEX).
If that's not possible, it would be good to have a SAP NW BPM, still on a Cloud environment.
After thorough research I found out that:
Hana Cloud Integration (HCI) has no specific BPM capability, as it is more similar to a Process Integration (PI)
Hana Enterprise Cloud offering does not include any BPM feature
Hana Cloud Platform has no BPM tool
The link at Try SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration in Public Cloud! is only about trial/demo systems.
I'd be interested to know how to get a PO or a BPM environment on Cloud.
Can anyone please share which the available options are?
Of course, please feel free also to correct any misunderstanding in the list above.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,
there is a Process Orchestration / BPM offering available as Trial or as production ready system available in SAP Cloud Appliance Library - http://cal.sap.com

SAP Cloud for Customer & SAP ECC/CRM OnPremise integration using WebServices!

Hello All,
I would like to ask if anyone has really created a working integration scenario between a Cloud Solution & an ECC/CRM OnPremise solution?
We are trying to build some prototypes for this, however, due to connectivity errors/issues, unable to proceed.
I'm looking for information on:
> What certificates precisely are needed on both Cloud & OnPrem systems?
> What configuration if any is required on Cloud & OnPrem solution, except for communication system/arrangements on Cloud solution?
> Any use case if available from anyone which can demo integration between Cloud solution & ECC/CRM OnPremise solution.
I'd really appreciate responses on this.
Many Thanks
Ankur

Thanks Sathya for the response.

ntegration-of-sap-cloud-for-customer-with-sap-erp-and-sa
p-crm-now-available : Not working! => Please check & confirm.
Just to give you our background...we are SAP Cloud Partners & VARs, hence we are building few prototypes for Customer Demos & POC.
Per my understanding, its just one of the OnPrem system, either an ECC OnPrem or CRM OnPrem that you can integrate with one C4C tenant at a time, i.e. to one single tenant. In our case, we are trying to integrate ECC OnPrem with C4C system.
We are in the process of deploying SAP PI as the middleware platform for integration between C4C & ECC/CRM OnPrem., which is going to take few more weeks.
SAP HCI will be the other approach, but we are currently not familiar with that, hence we have a trial to start in coming week for SAP HCI, so this is going to take some time as well.
Hence, WebService is the only currently available option for us to build these prototypes, POC for Customer Demos, to show working integration scenarios between ECC OnPrem & C4C system.
We have been facing some technical issues after setting up necessary communication systems/arrangements on C4C system & trying to do a WS call from SDK also we get error when we do a ping test from within C4C system to check connection.
Has SAP developed any WS integration between C4C & either of the ECC or CRM OnPrem system? Or is it just PI & HCI which SAP has for integration?
I'd truly appreciate if you can guide us on creating few integration scenarios (Working ones of course ) using Webservice between C4C & ECC OnPrem system.
Many Thanks

No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

Looking for a calendar that syncs with my other iPad in the cloud?

I have tried numerous calendar/agenda programs, but none sync easily through the cloud with my other iPad. Could be me being inept. Trying to input appointments on my iPad at work and sync it with my iPad at home. Appreciate any help. Thanks Peter

Isn't it just called 'Calendar' ? The one with a red bar across the top. If you've put other calendar apps on the phone take them off because they'll take over some of the functions of the Apple software and stop it working properly.
Make sure you're using the same account on both iPads. For instance, you might have one connected to your 'work' account and the other connected to your 'home' account.
If you enter an event into an iCloud calendar using one device, and it's connected to the internet, it should quickly show up on all devices using the same iCloud calendar, as soon as they can connect to the internet. If that's not happening, something is wrong with your setup.

Can I activate the Cloud software on more than one computer? [was:Gerry]

I purchased a single user PS CC license last year. During the interim the nature of my work has neccesitated that I have to work at two sepearte offices (one at home and one at my formal offices). Is it possible to "switch" the license to the different computers when I am at the different locations?
Can I log off at the office and login at my home office and vice versa? Use of the license will therefore be either at the office or at my home office but never both at the same time?

On the computer where you want to deactivate the Cloud, launch any Cloud app e.g. Photoshop CC 2014 and click Help > Sign Out.
Activation & Deactivation Help
That will deactivate all Cloud apps on that computer. (They can be reactivated at any time by signing in again.)
On the new computer, sign in to your Cloud account with your Adobe ID, download the Cloud app then download the software.

I have a GalaxyS5 and want to clear out some memory. All my pics are in the cloud but I don't want to keep all of them. After I sort and cull how to I move the keepers to my external hard drive? Can I do this directly from the cloud?

rwethereyet,
Keeping your pictures safe is definitely important! Once you have synced the saved pictures to your phone you can transfer them from the phone to your computer. Are you using the Verizon Cloud Desktop app?
