ISA on CRM 5.0 vs 4.0

Everyone,
Our company is currently evaluating whether to implement CRM Internet Sales (ISA) on our current platform (CRM 4.0) or to hold off and wait for CRM 5.0 to be released (for us to implement it probably 1+ years). After reviewing the documentation, so far I've noticed 2 primary differences between the two versions.
1) The IPC is integrated in CRM 5.0, potentially reducing the overall compexity and headache of managing it separately.
2) ISA has new re-written template files for better user experience, etc...
Are there any other key differences anyone is aware of, and is there a compelling case to go in either direction?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
My experience using ISA CRM 4.0, yes IPC you need to consider, especially when you deal with complex Pricing and Configurable products (the performance is
significantly effected). New CRM 5.0 has start to comply
with SAP Netweaver, but yet no clear statement this can
improve web shop performance (if this is what you
consider).
I don't know which documentation you are referring to.
But documentation I got, mention queit sistematic on what's new in CRM 5.0 for each web shop functionality such as Catalog management, use of multi plants in Product configuration, enhance in web-monitoring, interactive pricing when using product configuration, schedule line in order status, support of free goods item, Delegated Ordering etc...
Hope this can give u more information.
Cheers,
Gun.

How to import com.sap.isa.backend.crm.webcatalog.pricing track to NWDS

Hi all,
I am working on B2B webshop product catalog pricing and I have to make some changes in Java classes which are supposed to be in com\sap\isa\backend\crm\webcatalog\pricing..........But i am trying to import them in NWDI perspective and I dont find this
com.sap.isa.backend.crm.webcatalog.pricing track at all...
Does any one know how can I import this track and where it is.... all associated Java Classes in this track to my NWDS?
Regards,
Sam

Hi Shantoo,
Thanks for helping me with this. So you mean to say, I have to import crmhomeshrextsap.com ??
If that is the case, I already imported but i am unable to find this track com.sap.isa.backend.crm.webcatalog.pricing .
If you could access this track could you please let me know the name of one Java Class atleast that is present in this track?
Also I can only find the custom Z classes that I have written in crmhomeshrextsap.com , but some how not the standard SAP classes.
If i say ctrlshiftT, i can search for standard classes and open them, but if i click in "Link with Editor", I cant find the source of the class....but "Link with Editor" still works for my custom classes.
Any help with this will be higly appreciated. Will be waiting for your response. Thanks.

Debugging of ABAP Function Module through ISA Application CRM B2C 4.0

Hi Experts
There is way to Debug ABAP FM through ISA CRM b2c Application by Modifying some XML Files as per Extn Guide.
I tried modifying the <APPLICATION_HOME>\WEB-INF\xcm\customer\modification\modification-config.xml After that I restarted the Application .
But it is not Breaking for Both Statefull & Stateless FM after running my Application.
With Some Help i found that if we try it on Remote System ( Means SAP GUI has to in Same System where CRM is Installed ???????????). but that is not Advisable Right !!!.
So if i am able to Debug ABAP Function Module through ISA Application from any Other remote System.
I think it will be very Useful.
Thanks & Regards
Ravi Sah

Ravi
It is other way around !!!
You should have SAP GUI installed on the machine in which you start(access) your B2C Application. This enables for ABAP Debugging.
We have tried this and works fine for us !!!
Thanks

From ISA into CRM

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement like this:
The Bill to party number will be passed to the Sales order from ISA(Internet Sales) in a text field or in an unused field in the CRM sales order. So if we can get this information and put it in the bill to party field before saving the sales order, the issue of saving the sales order twice will be eliminated.
In short what we have to do is
Before saving any sales order in CRM, get the input in the text field into CRM sales order and replace the bill to party by the entries in that field.
Can any body sahre this and give some solution?
Thanks in Advance.

You can implement order_save badi.
In prepare method, you can fetch the whole order using function crm_order_read. You can get your custom field here, get bill to party number.
Now you can modify the order using function crm_order_maintain to replace your bill-to-party.

Kaushal

Hello Apparao,
In which release of CRM are you?
Did you already search on 'scenario A,X,Y, or Z' on OSS?
One of these scenari could maybe fit your requirements.

Create order on CRM from ISA without ITS

Hi!
I must create Purchase orders from ISA to CRM. I study 2 ways:
1: call RFC on CRM to ISA, get data from isa, create order on CRM;
2: create javascript on isa for send data to crm and create order.
in both ways, i don't know which function module to use.
is there a way for trace both system and take correct function modules?
i don't have ITS!!
I hope to explain well.
best regards!
Ale

Hello Ale,
if the ISA and the CRM System are running on two different machines you can use Ethereal to captuere the Network traffic and find out what function module is used. Also the Application Log in the CRM Server (Transaction ST01) can be usefull.

ISA CRM 7 VS ISA CRM 5

Are the foundations of ISA in CRM 7 like those in CRM 5 ?
Are there all these frames ?
Is there all this javascript ?
We are thinking about make our own web application, in order to have a faster and better solution.
By this way, we will be able to correct and improve it and better foundations : no frames, AJAX, templates instead of JSP with all this JAVA code.
Well, are there many things that changed in ISA of CRM 7 ?
I'm sure someone would know that and tell me.
Bye

Yes

Yes

Yes

- Good idea. Evaluate Adobe Flex too. Variant Configuration integration will be a beast.
Well, are there many things that changed in ISA of CRM 7 ?
- Only functional features. As of CRM 2006 for Packaged products were introduced with telecom in focus. Nothing special in UI. The application is still a Java / JSP based web application built over Struts framework.

Calling New Function Module from JAVA ISA b2b

I need to call a new function module which accepts some parameters as input and
returns some result parameters back as output.
These returned value needs to be displayed on the JSP pages of ISA B2B applications.
Can someone please guide me and provide code snippet on how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Points will be awarded for all relevant and helpful answers.

Stride,
I did this on CRM ISA 4.0... I used the dev and extension guide as a basis - I think the ISA 5.0 guide has the examples and tutorials in a separate document that can also be downloaded from service.sap.com.
Heres some info on how to do it although I can't guarantee this is the full solution or that it will work the same for ISA 5.0, and I will probably forget a lot of stuff as its been a few years since I did it! I also cant guarantee it is the correct way to do it but it worked! Basically, we built a link into the order overview page to display urls to order tracking websites using an RFC on the backend CRM system. Hope it helps anyway.
1. Create RFC enabled function module in backend.
2. Edit file backendobject-config.xml in folder project_root\b2b_z\WEB-INF\xcm\customer\modification:-

3. Edit file bom-config.xml in folder project_root\b2b_z\WEB-INF\xcm\customer\modification :-
[code] <BusinessObjectManagers
     xmlns:isa="com.sapmarkets.isa.core.config"
     xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

          className="com.ao.isa.businessobject.Z_AOBusinessObjectManager"
          />
</BusinessObjectManagers>
[/code]
File com.ao.isa.businessobject.Z_AOBusinessObjectManager.java looks like this:-
[code] package com.ao.isa.businessobject;
// Internet Sales imports
import com.sapmarkets.isa.core.businessobject.management.BOManager;

     // reference to backend object
     private Z_AOFunc mCustomBasket;
constructor
     public Z_AOBusinessObjectManager() {
Method is called by the framework before the session is invalidated.
The implemenation of this method should free any allocated resources
     public void release() {
Returns custom business object
     public Z_AOFunc getCustomBasket() {
          if (mCustomBasket == null) {
               mCustomBasket = new Z_AOFunc();
               assignBackendObjectManager(mCustomBasket);
          return mCustomBasket;
[/code]
And uses file com.ao.isa.businessobject.Z_AOFunc.java which looks like this:-
[code]
package com.ao.isa.businessobject;
// Internet Sales imports
import com.sapmarkets.isa.core.businessobject.BOBase;
import com.sapmarkets.isa.core.businessobject.BackendAware;
import com.sapmarkets.isa.core.eai.BackendObjectManager;

Returns a reference to the backend object. The backend object
is instantiated by the framework.
@return a reference to the backend object

          if (backendAOBasket == null)
               //create new backend object
               try
                    backendAOBasket =

                    // the backend object is registered in customer version

                    log.config("ao.b2b.order.error.getOrderTrackingURLs", bex);
          return backendAOBasket;
This method is needed when a business object has a corresponding
backend object.
     public void setBackendObjectManager(BackendObjectManager bem)
          this.bem = bem;
Returns a vector of url links for tracking
@return vector of urls
     public Vector getOrderDeliveryTrackingData(String orderNo)
          // the call is delegated to the CRM aware backend object
          return getCustomBasketBackend().getOrderDeliveryTrackingData(orderNo);
[/code]
4. Edit file config.xml in folder project_root\b2b_z\WEB-INF to add custom actions (the section below is just the custom stuff added at the end of the file the Z_orderTracking is the relevant one) :-
[code] 
     <action path="/b2b/Z_orderTracking" type="com.ao.isa.order.actions.Z_OrderTrackingAction">
          <forward name="success" path="/b2b/order/Z_orderTracking.jsp"/>
     </action>
     <action path="/catalog/Z_displaySVGPage" type="com.ao.isa.catalog.actions.Z_SVGPageAction">
          <forward name="success" path="/catalog/Z_SVG_fs.jsp"/>
     </action> [/code]
Which points at Java file com.ao.isa.order.actions.Z_OrderTrackingAction.java which looks like this :-
[code] package com.ao.isa.order.actions;
// internet sales imports
import com.sapmarkets.isa.core.BaseAction;
import com.sapmarkets.isa.core.UserSessionData;
// struts imports
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
// servlet imports
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
// Internet Sales imports
import com.ao.isa.businessobject.Z_AOBusinessObjectManager;
import java.util.Vector;
This action acts as a template for customer extensions
public class Z_OrderTrackingAction extends BaseAction
This method is called by the ISA Framework when the
action is executed
     public ActionForward doPerform(
          ActionMapping mapping,
          ActionForm form,
          HttpServletRequest request,
          HttpServletResponse response)
          throws ServletException
          // get user session data object

5. I added the call to the function module for page orderstatusdetail.jsp in folder project_root\b2b_z\b2b\order to display a custom page Z_orderTracking.jsp in the same folder. To do this I added a link into the HTML to call a JavaScript function that passed the current order number to the /b2b/Z_orderTracking.do actionhandler mapped in the config.xml file.
So, in summary! Create an RFC; define business managers for it in the XML files; create a new Strut action and supporting Java class; create all the Java class for the managers.
I hope this makes some sense!

How to add custom text on ISA B2B Order

Hi,
On Order page of ISA B2B I have created a custom text field "Shipping Attention".When I try to add this text in the header like
header.addExtensionData("Z123","Value") in Z_BasketRefreshAction which extends MaintainBasketDispatcherAction, it is not reflecting in the "Shipping Attn"(created in the text tab in CRM) field in CRM system.
The flow:
/b2b/maintainbasket --> Z_BasketRefreshAction --> /b2b/basketrefresh --> MaintainBasketRefreshAction --> b2b/updatedocumentview
Please let me know if I missing something...
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
You have covered the first two layers of the request - response cycle cake - the View (JSP) and the Control (Java) layers. The icing is done in the backend BAdI and using the right function module. I am assuming the CRM backend.
A typical request-response in the application goes like this. I will give example for the header extensions.
Added the custom variable in the HTML layer (JSP page)
Traversed through the Dispatcher, Parser and get the input value from the JSP page variable and added it to the Business Object (Header) using addExtensionData.
The java application layer actually makes an "Update Header" call during the update cycle - like when you click that "Update" button.
In the SAP E-Commerce design, during this "update" cycles, the application flows through specific BAdI call sequence. It calls what I call the Header BAdI CRM_ISA_BASKET_HEAD when the header information is updated. You have to extend this BAdI and implement at least two methods.
It has two methods - which are called during this request - response cycle. First method CHANGEHEAD_SET_DATA is called during the request cycle - that is from ISA to CRM (when update is clicked). This is where your extension data has to be transferred from the Java layer to the backend layer (model). You will essentially read from the table IT_EXTENSION and call SAVE_TEXT function module. Since your requirement is to update text, this is the FM to be called. Many other cases use the FM mentioned by Mike. This is where the data from the web layer is persisted in the backend model.
And the other method GETHEAD_GET_DATA is called during the response cycle. In this method, you will essentially read from the model - in your case READ_TEXT and set it back in the extension layer CT_EXTENSION
The update header call from the Java layer will now receive the data back from the model and will automagically transfer the values from the backend (ABAP layer) back to the Java layer to be accessible by you in the JSP using getExtensionData call.
What you have to do are the steps .5 and 6 in order to complete the request-response cycle.
