Link between 3rd party software and SAP

Our company uses a 3rd party software for its payroll processing. At the end of every 2 weeks, we receive an Excel file that the clerk sorts and uploads into SAP using LSMW.
The Director of Finance thinks that this process can be achieved much quicker/faster/more efficiently, and he wanted to know if we can directly establish a link between the 3rd party payroll software and SAP.
Any thoughts on how this can be established? Do I have to write a BAPI functional specification for this and work with the ABAP team?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
Through BAPI / BDC / Idoc you can achive this requirement.
Ex:
1 - Create Landing Table in R/3
2 - Pull Data from Leagacy to SAP Landing Table
3 - From Landing Table you can post to SAP

Integration between third party software and SAP

Hi all,
I have requirement in which i have to integrate SAP with third party software. My third party software will be generating material no as we generate in SAP then after the generation of the Material No by the third party software again i have to pull the material no generated and corresponding information into SAP .Please tell me how to do this as i am new to these concepts and if possible please send links from where i can download study materials.
Thanks and Regards
Manu.

Hello Manvendra,
There are many approches for solving this integration issue:
But before solving this issue there are few questions which need to be known:
1. In what form the material no list is generated? i.e. some flat file, in database table, or shared memory
2. What is the language for 3rd party software? C, Java, .Net etc
3. What is the frequency of material number generation? i.e. is it on demand, batch processing etc
Considering 3rd party software is generating flat file or csv files for material number we can have this integration in
following way:
1. Save file at particular location.
2. You can configure logical path in FILE transaction
3. Write ABAP report to read that file using logical path and file name.
     Refer following link for Link: [logical path creation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8d/3e4ec2462a11d189000000e8323d3a/content.htm]
4. Read file into internal table using Link: [GUI_UPLOAD|http://saplab.blogspot.com/2007/10/sample-abap-program-to-upload-table.html].
5. Create BDC recording for MM01 transaction for material creation using Link: [SHDB|http://abaplovers.blogspot.com/2008/02/recording-bdc-using-transaction-shdb.html] transaction code.
6. Using data from internal table and BDC recording create all the materials in SAP systems.
    In this step you need to loop at internal table and fill data variables in BDC recording with the internal table data
    and call the transaction MM01 for creating material.
Above steps are very high level guidelines and it is one way of integration but concept wise more or less integration will be in same way!
You can definetly fine tune it by exploring SAP help!
Enjoy SAP!
Thanks,
Augustin.

Migration of Documents from 3rd party software to SAP DMS

Dear Experts,
We have implemented SAP DMS . Prior to DMS we were using Third party software for creating and storing the documents.
There are abot 3000 documents in the third party software, now the challege is how we must have to migrate the DATA from 3rd party software to SAP DMS with creating Dirs. Are there any upload programmes suffice the requirement or any development needs to be done or any possibilities.
Kindly help me out in the above scenario.
Regards
jayanth

Hi,
from DMS point of view I think that SDXA functionality could also be useful for this action. For further information on SXDA functions please see SAP note 817743.

Third party software and sap interactive forms

Hi,
Is it possible that data (from a third party software) be sent to an SAP interactive form hosted on an SAP instance?
Thanks
Benoît Vézina

Here is what i want to achieve. I want to create an Adobe form in my DM instance (webdynpro or java). I still have some old application that are not on the SAP platform but those applications could use the same adobe Form. So instead of maintaining Adobe form for DM and another for my non-sap application, i would like send the data from that non-sap application to the forms that is in my DM sap instance, is it possible.
Thanks for your time

Extraction with third party software and SAP

Hi Friends,
I am new to BI, and I have some doubts in data extraction.
Suppose I have different source systems (Third party softwares) how do I connect to my BI system for my extractions. Is this our job to connect all the source systems for extraction or ?
I regret if something is wrong with my question.
Thanx and Regards,
Line

Hi Line,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
For some extractions its better to have a db administrator with you.

Help needed with 3rd party software and Windows XP on MacBook

My Brother embroidery software has stopped working on the XP side of my MacBook. After all kinds of uninstalling and installing with support from Brother, they decided the problem is not the software and I should "contact my computer company." Since this is really a Mac, would Apple be able to help me with a Windows issue? The genius bar said no, Microsoft says no, so what is the point of buying a using a dual platform machine if no one takes responsibility for helping? I'm very frustrated and could use help from someone who works on both platforms.

*"would Apple be able to help me with a Windows issue?"*
Sorry, but no. Apple does not support third party operating systems and applications.

Altering ID3 Tags with 3rd party software and having it recognized by iTunes

Hi,
Long time mp3 user but new to the iPod/iTunes family so I'm super unfamiliar with how it works. I currently use as separate mp3 retagger to batch process new ID3 tags and I noticed my iTunes library doesn't update the changes. Is there an easy way to keep updating folders without having to delete everything and reimport?
So, I have VA albums but itunes shows them as different albums with only one track in them - how do I change/fix this? Example: Punk-o-Rama vol 1 is a best of collection but instead of 1 album with multiple artists, iTunes shows it as multiple albums with 1 artist per "album" and only stores the album art on the alphabetically first "album". Fix please?

Maybe this has something to do with connection timeout for Oracle network configuration settings:
in file sqlnet.ora (located on server side), check these values or set them
appropriately:
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT
SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT
See http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14213/sqlnet.htm#sthref370

Will upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) affect the running of the installed 3rd party softwares/programs?

I have just received an email encouraging me to upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Currently I do have in my computer several 3rd party software and programs (from Adobestuff, finalcut Pro, MS Office, ILife etc.
Will upgrading to OS X Mavericks affect the running of these software /programs? Will I need to also upgrade these softwares?

There may be issues with compatibilty, as with any OS upgrade. Snow leopard (10.6.N) includes a piece of software from Apple called Rosetta. This software allows older PowerPC applications to run on Intel based Macs. This software does not run on any OS X higher than the latest Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. You can see if you have any of programs that require Rosetta installed by bringing up the "System Information" application through spotlight (click on the magnifying glass icon on the upper right, type System Information in the search field and select the application thta is found).
Once in System Information select "Applications" under "Software" near the bottom of the list. Scroll through the list of applications and if any indicate that they are PowerPC based then they will not run under Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

In this case 3rd party software is software not provided by Apple.
It was suspected--before the units were available for test--that some disk utilities wouldn't work properly with the new fusion drives. While that may be the case, all software I have and use just works with my 27" and the 3TB fusion drive. I can't imagine that the 1TB would be different. The only disk related software I use is the built in Disk Utility and the third party software SuperDuper!, and sometimes Onyx. All work fine.
Other disk utilities may or may not work, but a simple Google search will probably give the answer for any specific piece of software.

My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0.

The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0. Apple dosen't let me download Safari 5.0; so what do I do. The bank had me download Chrome, and I can now download my statements. but what a pain. Any suggestios?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Backup and synching with a Windows Server, what 3rd party software do I need.

I have a Macbook Air. We just got a new Server, a Dell PowerEdge T420 running Windows Small Business Server 2011 CAL Suite.
I am told my Macbook Air will not Snych to backup files from a defined folder (like My Documents) and e-mail in Outlook. Mac's can't do that.
I don't believe that is true. Can anyone give me direction. Is there some 3rd party software that allows Mac to do this?

Hello Charlene,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Automator - Loop through a text file and process data through a 3rd party software

Just stumbled on Automator the other day (I am a mac n00b) and would like to automate the processing of a text file, line-by-line, using a third party tool. I would like Automator to loop through the text file one line at a time, copy the string and keep as a variable. Next, place the variable data (copied string) into the text field of the 3rd party software for processing. Once the processing is complete, I would like Automator to fetch the next line/string for processing. I see items like "copy from clipboard" and "variables" within the menu but I am not finding much documentation on how to utilizle this tool. Just hear how potentially powerful it is.
The 3rd party software is not a brand name, just something made for me to process text. I may have to use mouse clicks or tabs + [return] to navigate with Automator. A term I heard on Bn Walldie's itunes video series was "scriptable software" for which I don't think this 3rd party app would be.
Kind regards,
jw

Good news and bad news...
The good news is that it should be entirely possible to automate your workflow.
The bad news is that it will be a nightmare to implement via Automator, if it's even possible.
Automator is, essentially a pretty interface on top of AppleScript/Apple Events, and with the pretty interface comes a certain stranglehold on features. Knowing how to boil rice might make you a cook, but understanding flavor profiles and ingredient combinations can make you a chef, and it's the same with AppleScript and Automator. Automator's good at getting you from points A to B but if there are any bumps in the road (e.g. the application you're using isn't scriptable) then it falls apart.
What I'm getting at is that your requirements are pretty simple to implement in AppleScript because you can get 'under the hood' and do exactly what you want, as opposed to Automator's restricted interface.
The tricky part is that if no one else can see this app it's going to be hard to tell you what to do.
I can give you the basics on reading a file and iterating through the lines of text in it, and I can show you how to 'type' text in any given application, but it may be up to you to put the pieces together.
Here's one way of reading a file and working through each line of text:
-- ask the user for a file:
set theFile to (choose file)
-- read the file contents:
set theFileContents to (read file theFile)
-- break out the lines/paragraphs of text:
set theLines to paragraphs of theFileContents
-- now iterate through those lines, one by one:
repeat with eachLine in theLines
-- code to perform for eachLine goes here
end repeat
Once you have a line of text (eachLine in the above example) you can 'type' that into another application via something like:
tell application "AppName" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppName"
keystroke eachLine
end tell
end tell
Here the AppleScript is activating the application and using System Events to emulate typing the contents of the eachLine variable into the process. Put this inside your repeat loop and you're almost there.

I have an iphone 4s that has been hacked. Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software has been downloaded replacing apple software which enables the hacker to screen share. I need all the info about how it was done, and how to fix the problem.

I have an iphone 4s that may have been hacked. Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software may have been downloaded allowing screen share. I need all the info I can get as to how this could have been done and how to fix the problem.

The only way the iPhone could have been hacked in such a manner, at least by any method currently confirmed, is if the iPhone was jailbroken. Was yours?

3rd party software Instruments and pluggins for logic ???

I know logic has lots of software instruments and pluggins. What would be some good 3rd party instruments and pluggins to enhance the working and creative vibe? I know Spectrasonics has some good ones !!!!!!
RD

Rodney,
I think it really depends on what type of music you do.... But as you already mentioned, Spectrosonics stuff would certainly be at the top of my list.
RMX is practically a must have, as far as I'm concerned, and if you have Recycle, it IS a must have. Same with Atmosphere... I couldn't work without either one now.
Trilogy is really good to, but I wouldn't say it's a "must have". Still, it gets used a lot here.
I really like Arturia's synths as well, but customer service there has a lot to be desired. But the Vintage pack will certainly cover a lot of analog ground, and the Mini Moog is simply amazing.
There are a lot of sample libraries available in Native EXS format, but EXS reads Giga and Akai libraries as well, and if you got something like CD Xtract, you could translate even more formats.
Native Instruments makes some nice stuff as well.
As far as plug-ins, my absolute favorite are the UAD-1 plug-ins. But that requires the PCI card. Best money I ever spent though, hands down.
Here are a few other companies that make excellent plug-ins as well:

Believe me, that's just the tip of the iceberg...
