Middleware technologies used for data exchange in Cloud for Customer system

Hi Techies,
I would like to know what are the different middleware technologies like ALE,EDI and IDOC, Web Services or any other technology plays role in data exchange between SAP ERP and SAP Cloud for Customer system.
My project includes implementation of SAP Cloud for Sales, I've read many documents and seen various videos for ERP Configuration and Cloud Configuration, I see that there is a standard report that we want to execute and specify the type of data to be exchanged between Cloud for Customer and SAP ERP via SAP NW PI system.
When executing the report we select the IDOC Type and run the report, so once after execution all data is copied to SAP Cloud for Customer system.
What about configuration of IDOCS ? Do we need to maintain port, partner profiles, logical system etc ? as usual we do when working on Interface between SAP to SAP systems ?
Or is it maintained when we make all the communication settings between SAP ERP <-> SAP NW PI <-> SAP Cloud for Customer system ?
Can anyone help to understand this better ?
Thanks,
Gowri Shankar

Hi Gowri,
The standard report does exactly that.
It generates, the ports, partner profiles, RFC destinations and other objects required for communication configuration in SAP to connect to C4C.
If you are not using HCI, you can directly connect to C4C, otherwise you will have to manually edit the RFC destination and provide the HCI worker node URL.
Note that this report is part of an Add On which is applicable only after a specific SAP ECC version.
If you are on lower version, you will have to create them manually.
regards,
Anirudh Vyas.

How to use the (gigabit) ethernet for data exchange and WLAN for Internet?

I have following setup:
- MB Pro SL 10.6
- Desktop PC Windows 7
- Wireless Printer
- Netgear WLAN Router
At the moment all my data and internet communication is done via the WLAN router on 192.168.1.x That works fine and I can exchange data, print and surf the internet. My problem is that big data exchanges > 10GB take ages via my 54Mbit WLAN Connection. Furthermore the WLAN router is far away from the PC so that it is not possible to plug in the Ethernet Cable of the PC and the MB to the router.
Now I've thought that there must be a possibility to use a 1 gigabit (cross) cable (like in the 90s ;)) to connect the MB and the PC directly. I know that I will need different IP ranges and so on, but I have no clue how to do that.
The final solution should be that the setup stays as it is (data exchange, print, internet via WLAN) and that additional it is possible to connect PC and MAC some times for big transfers via a Gigabit ethernet cable. because I only want to connect those two machines I don't think that a switch makes any sense, or?
Does someone know how to do that?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well if it were 2 Macs, I would configure each Mac with a fixed IP address (same subnet as my router, but outside of the routers DHCP assignment range).
I would give the same fixed IP address to both my Airport AND my ethernet interfaces. I would do the same to the other Mac using another fixed IP address.
My network service order would have the ethernet higher than the Airport on both systems.
Normally I would use WiFi, so ethernet would be idle and out of the loop.
When I wanted faster transfers, I would connect each Mac to the router via their own ethernet cables, and the Mac would automatically detect that the ethernet became available, and would switch to use the faster ethernet. Since Airport and ethernet have the same fixed IP address, I could even do this in the middle of a file transfer and no one would notice as packets were always going to/from the same IP addresses, just using a different route, which doesn't matter.
NOTE: I've been doing this on Macs since Mac OS X 10.3 days (or was it 10.2; to long ago to remember).
However, you have thrown a Windows system into the mix, and since I do not use Windows, I do not have a clue about what can be done on Windows. However, maybe this will give you some ideas, and asking the right questions in a Windows oriented forum may provide the Windows side of this setup.
Sorry, that is the best I can do. Maybe my reply will encourage someone else to offer their approach.

Can a IDOC be used for data exchange from R/3 to CRM

Hi All,
First, can a IDOC be used for data exchange from R/3 to CRM
I need to update few fields of SAP CRM Sales order with fields from SAP R/3 Work Order.
To achive this can I use IDOC?
Or do I update the R/3 sales order from R/3 Work order(using some interface or workflow), so that the sales order data flows from R/3 SO to CRM SO.
Please respond immediately.
Regards,
Gopinath

IDocs can be processed by the CRM system via XML/XIF adaptor. As this will be most probably a new interface that is not yet set up, it would be easier to change the orders in R/3 via an appropiate FM which should automatically generate a delta download BDoc.
Even if they are not downloaded automatically a request download (defined via R3AR2 / 3 / 4) should take care of this.
Hope this helps,
Kai

How to use same Data Type and Length for two fields

How to use same data type and length for two fields when using 'FOR ALL ENTRIES IN' in a select statement? For instance the select queries are :
SELECT bukrs gjahr belnr lifnr budat bldat zlspr dmbtr waers shkzg
FROM bsik
INTO TABLE it_bsik
WHERE bukrs = p_bukrs
AND lifnr IN s_lifnr.
IF it_bsik IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr awkey awtyp
FROM bkpf
INTO TABLE it_bkpf
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bsik
WHERE belnr = it_bsik-belnr
AND gjahr = it_bsik-gjahr.
IF it_bkpf IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr lifnr xblnr
FROM rbkp
INTO TABLE it_rbkp
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bkpf
WHERE belnr = it_bkpf-awkey+0(10)
AND gjahr = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Here it gives an error in the 3rd select query that 'When you use the addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab", the fields "GJAHR" and "IT_BKPF2-AWKEY+10(4)" must have the same type and the same length.'
Kindly clarify.

Hi Saurabh,
Please see the example code that I have developed for you. It will help you solve the problem.
REPORT ZTEST_3 .
tables : BKPF.
data : begin of it_bkpf occurs 1,
         belnr type RE_BELNR,
         awkey type awkey,
         awtyp type awtyp,
         gjahr type GJAHR,
       end of it_bkpf.
data : begin of it_bkpf1 occurs 1,
         belnr type RE_BELNR,
         awkey type gjahr,              " change the data type
         awtyp type awtyp,
         gjahr type GJAHR,
       end of it_bkpf1.
data : begin of it_rbkp occurs 1,
         belnr type BELNR_D,
         gjahr type gjahr,
         lifnr type LIFRE,
         xblnr type XBLNR,
       end of it_rbkp.
select belnr
       awkey
       awtyp
       gjahr
       from bkpf
       into table it_bkpf
       where BUKRS = 'TELH'.
loop at it_bkpf.
it_bkpf1-belnr = it_bkpf-belnr.
it_bkpf1-awkey = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).           "Here only append the required length.
it_bkpf1-awtyp = it_bkpf-awtyp.
it_bkpf1-gjahr = it_bkpf-gjahr.
append it_bkpf1.
clear it_bkpf1.
endloop.
select belnr
        gjahr
        lifnr
        xblnr
        from RBKP
        into table it_rbkp
        for all entries in it_bkpf1
        where belnr = it_bkpf1-belnr
This is just an example. Change the fields according to your requirement.

Alternative to webservice for data exchange in PDF (Form Export Rights in Reader)

Hello,
I'm exchanging data between my pdf and a web server. Basically, the pdf needs to get some xml string from the web server, alternatively send some xml string to it. This is now done using a webservice, and it works fine with the SOAP javascript object. However, it doesn't work in Adobe Reader, because (quote from the docs):
"The SOAP methods connect, request and response are available only for documents open in Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Standard and for documents with Form Export Rights open in Adobe Reader 6.0 or later."
It turns out I need to enable Form Export Rights to get webservices work in Reader.
Now, I was wondering if there's another way to exchange data between my pdf and a web server that doesn't involve enabling those Form Export Rights in Reader.
Note that I need to be able to parse the response string xml from the web server in pdf using its javascript API.
Thanks for any suggestions,
James

Your only other alternative is to POST th einformation to the web server via a submit operation. This is the same as POSTING on an HTML form.

Use an alternative Exchange Rate Type for activity actual price

Dear All,
I try to use an alternative Exchange Rate (not M) in controlling area version "0", I need to use a custom currency exchange rate like in planned price (here I create a new planned version with exchange rate "N").
I find same notes and it seems that standard Sap use only Exchange Rate "M" for actual price but I notice that for example in transaction KB21N (activity allocation) system shows in additional info exchange rate "N" (input in version "0").
Is not possibile to use other Exchange Rate for actual price, activity allocation, for confirmed activity in production order?
Controlling area has currency type 30 (group currency EUR), this company has MXN.
Thanks in advance for your support
Daria

In KB21N (activity allocation), system uses the exchange rate type you have maintained in controlling area version plan settings (transaction OKEQN). Activity allocation during the month always happen at the planned price maintained in KP26 at the exchange rate specified in plan version. During actual price calculation and revaluation during month end, it calculates actual activity price at (uses M rate to convert to controlling area currency) and revaluates consumption.
I think you cannot use other exchange rate, see the coding in include LKSPIF00 that is used in KSII where currency type is hard coded to M, if this is plan price calculation it's picking tka07-kurst.

I haven"t used the data on my phone for 2 month and I'm still getting a big bill why?

I didn't use the data for 2 month on my phone and I still have to pay a big bill. This is the third big bill I have to pay. I deleted all the apps and turned of data and I still have to pay a big bill over what I was paying why?

Berzie,
I understand how a large bill can be unexpected and unwanted. Does the bill advise as to the reason the bill is higher? Does it say how much data you went over on your plan? What plan are you currently on?

Standard XML schema for Vendor data exchange between SAP and other system

Is there a SAP standard way of XML schema that we exchange between SAP and other system? Please let me know.
Thanks.

See SAP Interface Repository (http://ifr.sap.com).
My proposal is to leave old SAP connectors staff and use SAP Exchange Infrastructure. There is a support of industry XML standards in XI 3.0 like xCBL.

What is QDX for data exchange with SAP

Hi,
Anyone know what is QDX. I was told that it is a Data Exchange Interface (in the higher layer than BAPI). I could not find any relevant information on the Web so far.
Please share with me if you have any information.
Thanks

New G/L using an other Exchange Rate Type for Local ledger

In new G/L ledger we want to use for a Local ledger a different Exchange Rate Type then the standard M. This is for local reporting to the goverment
Is this possible and yes where I can make this setting?

Hi Paul Annotee
In T.Code: OB22 you can maintain another parallel currency say HARD Currency (40), and make this as identical to your local reporting currency... for this new currency you can maintain a different Exchange Rate Type

Can I use virtual Servers in private cloud for RAC

Hello to all
We are going to install an Oracle RAC on two servers
But our Hardware Administrator says to us “I Allocate two virtual servers in the our private cloud not two physical Servers (or real Servers)”
Do you think it’s practical and reasonable to using virtual Server for Oracle RAC in production environment ?
Which one is better physical server or virtual server for RAC?
Please write your reasons
Thanks

Using virtual machines is officially supported for RAC only in a few cases which can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/virtualizationmatrix-172995.html
Make sure that you meet these requirements in your private cloud. Some cases like vmware are still somewhat supported despite beeing not on the list.
Beside this you should make sure that your 2 virtual machines run on different hardware servers in the cloud, otherwise you lose most parts of the rac advantage regarding high availability, when both virtual servers happen to run on the same hardware during a crash
Virtual servers are used in production environments, but you will have to take greater care for many aspects of rac compared to physical hardware, e.g.. something like "live migration" of vmware can kill a rac node due to timeout.
I would prefer hardware for rac anytime over virtual servers and spare me the hassle of dealing with all possible issues arising from the virtualization.
And check oracles licensing policy...
Running an enterprise edition rac on e.g. a large vmware cluster is insanely expensive, you pay every cpu core the rac COULD run on -> the entire cluster!
If you must use virtual hardware but don't want to and need an argument against it use the license issue.

Thomas

Would it be useful to set a partition on my internal HD only for data and the other for apps, OS and that kind of stuff?

As I wrote in the title, would it be useful?
I come from a Windows PC where I had that kind of division and it seemed everything had worked fine along 5 years.
Please, give a motivation to your answers to let me get in the point.

File fragmentation is not an issue with OS X, which looks after itself.
Defragmentation in OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375 which states:
You probably won't need to optimize at all if you use Mac OS X. Here's why:
Hard disk capacity is generally much greater now than a few years ago. With more free space available, the file system doesn't need to fill up every "nook and cranny." Mac OS Extended formatting (HFS Plus) avoids reusing space from deleted files as much as possible, to avoid prematurely filling small areas of recently-freed space.
Mac OS X 10.2 and later includes delayed allocation for Mac OS X Extended-formatted volumes. This allows a number of small allocations to be combined into a single large allocation in one area of the disk.
Fragmentation was often caused by continually appending data to existing files, especially with resource forks. With faster hard drives and better caching, as well as the new application packaging format, many applications simply rewrite the entire file each time. Mac OS X 10.3 onwards can also automatically defragment such slow-growing files. This process is sometimes known as "Hot-File-Adaptive-Clustering."
Aggressive read-ahead and write-behind caching means that minor fragmentation has less effect on perceived system performance.

Interactive Report uses XML data saved in database for creating PDF files?

Hello all,
I installed Apache FOP to allow a PDF "Download" in the Interactive Reports.
Correct me if i'm wrong, when a PDF file is created with the Interactive Report option "Download", it uses a XML data to make it. Right ??
I would like know where in the database is this XML code located.
Regards Pedro.

After some searching i found that XML its stored as a BLOB and it is used as XML based report data and RTF or XSL-FO based report layout.
I didn't find yet where is located the XML used by Interactive Reports. If someone knows where in the APEX database is the XML located please share.
Regards Pedro.

Searching for Data in the Report for a non-selected column in display.

Hello,
I have an interactive report as given below:
select user, dept_name, sal, description, title from hr;
Now, in the report display options I remove the title and description from the display as you know title and description are 2000 characters each.
If I show then it takes the whole page to display one record and with this option I can search any text in the Title or Description columns.
Now, I have hidden these two columns and when I search I do not see any records.
Can any one tell me how to achieve this behaviour.
What I am looking is, I do not show the column 'TITLE' or 'DESCRIPTION' and user show be able to search for any important data inside these columns.
Please let me know how can we do this.
Please point me to an already published article or solution or any help on this type.
Appreciate your help on this.
thanks
Edited by: user648778 on Sep 18, 2008 6:13 PM

As far as I can see this will not work. You could use a trick and make a query like this:
SELECT USER, dept_name, sal,
apex_item.hidden (10, mgrdescription || title)
|| '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#some_nice_icon.gif">' title_description
FROM hrThis would not display the title and description but an image and it would give you a possibility to filter on those.
