MII WinCC integration

Dear all,
We want to get current and historical data from WinCC.
We have MII server.
We have also WinCC server. WinCC OPC server is installed on WinCC servers.
There is firewall between WinCC and MII servers.
We installed UDS on MII server.
Questions:
1) Shoul we install UDS on MII server or WinCC server? If both is possible, which one is effective?
2) Can we read real time and historical data by only using OPC server adn UDS, without installing 'WinCC connectivity pack".
Why should I use this connectivity pack, if they use OPC standarts?
Kind regards,
Hamza.

Hamza,
1. It is always better if you can to install the UDS on the same machine as the OPC Server you are connecting to. This is more efficent as it will cause less traffic over http. Also sometimes problem occur with DCOM issues and since this would be a local install, this would be alleviated. But if not allowed then it can be installed with the MII server or even on a seperate Windows box. Note the UDS is Windows based so it must be installed on a Windows OS.
2. I am not familiar with this and would have to test in order to see if it is needed. Unfortunately we do not have a WinCC system to test this against. From reading some of the documentation it seems like this may be needed to get the OPC HDA access if needed.

MII -- MES Integration

Hi,
We have a situation where MES System is Integrated to Shopfloor devices such as Sensor's, PLC's and HMI's and they have the Database where they gone a save the captured data and MII needs to read that data and capture them in dashboards, till here I am able to understand but how the data flow will be if ERP is sending the downstream data to MES and then MES sends the confirmations to ERP, I mean how database can be used in such scenario.
Thanks,
Raveen

Hi ,
Which MES you are using in your shopfloor.if it is SAP ME then we will store data in WIP database which is SAP ME database then you can send to SAP or get it from SAP.
Thanks,
Ramesh

MII Minitab Integration

Hello,
I am trying to use the minitab integration features in MII. I was wondering if anyone has used this feature, if so could they give some example transactions. I can get the data output in minitab format using the minitab action block but am hoping that it's possible to replace my display template with a minitab chart on my web page. Is this possible?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi, Nick. I have done Minitab integration with MII (I wrote the Minitab interface for MII), but it was a LOOOONG time ago, so I don't remember the specifics. I do remember that it was very possible to have Minitab activated by clicking on a link on an MII web page, with dynamic data being sent to Minitab from an MII BLS transaction. I just don't recall the exact details of how to structure the URL. I suspect it involved putting a fake filename on the end of the URL that included a file extension that Minitab knew how to open.

MII 12.1 business scenario

Hi in Master guide stated
To implement the following SAP MII business
scenarios, you must use SAP ECC 6.0 or
higher:
- Shop Floor Quality Integration
- Content Versioning
- Transactions for BAPI Consumption
1. Shop Floor Quality Integration (is this means QM module of ECC) - why do I requre ECC 6?
2. Content Versioning, Netweaver has own content versioning NWDI. Is this what they mean? Why do I need ECC 6?
3. Transactions for BAPI Consumption - what does is means? Why ECC6?
thanks
I reviewed this thread Re: MII 12.1 Questions - BAPI Consumption , but it does not really clearify my doubt!

The Shop Floor Quality Integration (essentially the QM module) and the Transactions for BAPI Consumption pieces are both exposed in Solution Manager, specifically the Business Process Repository. If you have Solution Manager with ECC then you can also view the supporting documentation for them, including prerequisites. Again, in the guide it labels that ECC section as optional, which leads me to your last question.
MII "standalone" means MII without ECC. MII does need Netweaver in order to run (as indicated in the guide with the X). Some companies use MII for integrating their shop floor systems with a "one stop shop" view. This can be done without ECC, but MII's flexibility allows for integration to the corporate level. Some shops that are SAP savvy, link with NWDI, ECC, Solution Manager other products. Others use MII as a middleware layer and use other solutions for their front ends.

Kevin

MII vs. ME II

Helllo SDN Community,
ME II - SAP Training says this is "Curriculum: Manufacturing Execution II (Formerly Visiprise )"
MII - Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence
1) What's the difference between these?
2) Is this the right forum in which to post ME II questions?
Best Regards,
Dean Atteberry.

Hi Dean,
I do not think that ME has a forum yet. They are two distinctly different products. ME is an Manufacturing Execution System targetting the Discrete Products area (Electronics, A&D, Automotive, etc.). Read Jeremy's link for more information (at a high level). However if you post here, I will engage some ME folks to respond to your posting. Since MII is used by ME to interface to SAP ERP systems, there are often some questions regarding the interface posted here.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Get user list

Hello
I'm using MII 12.2. My MII is integrated with LDAP service.
I would get user list starting from active directory group (LDAP).
I tried to use http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?service=admin&mode=UserList&Group=<Role or Group Name> but it doesn't work.
It works only with role name. Also UME group are not working.
Is there any special format in order to specify the group name?
Thanks
Regards
Fabio

Hello
Yes, it works, but with "Group=Everyone" I lose the advantages of the filter "group".
I have thousand and thousand of user in active directory, I need to specify the UME/LDAP group name.
Thanks

Siemens DIS to MII integration

I am exploring possibilities of SIMATIC IT Data Integration with SAP MII 12.0.
Siemens DIS provides HTTP client & server connectors. HTTP server connector can poll remote MII server in every n seconds and can pick whenever new response gets generated in MII.
Another possibility is to use COM connector as a bridge to Siemens DIS system. It allows any third party application which supports COM technology to connect to DIS. So here I see a need to have a Windows COM application hosted on IIS that can support COM and start the COM connector as in-process COM server. MII can do Web Service call to custom application to trigger the DIS.
Second approach gives trigger to MII without continuous polling by DIS.
I will appreciate all the responses on it.
Thanks

Cemil,
answer to your questions:
1- Is it possible use UDS OPC-HDA with winCC?
Yes it is possible.
2- Which component must be installed at winCC side?
You need the a additional License ([WinCC/Connectivity Pack|http://www.automation.siemens.com/hmi/html_76/products/software/wincc_optionen/connectivity-pack.htm]) in WinCC for HDA. Also you need to customize it.
3- WinCC OPC-DA Server is different server or winCC server?
WinCC OPC-DA and WinCC OPC-HDA is on the same Server

SAP MII to SAP ME integration using MEINT component

Hello Experts,
I am currently studying the integration part between ERP and ME using ME INT component. I am done with configuration necessary for meint in MII. I am quite clear with workflow from ERP to MII using IDoc. But workflow from MII to ME is confusing me a lot. So please help me on this issue.
Target: BOM data has to be transfered from ERP to ME.
Understanding till now:
1. ERP will send a BOM (via IDoc) to MII.
2. MII will send it to a queue in ME INT database.
Queries:
1. After an IDoc is added to MEINT message queue, how will it be passed to ME?
2. Also, if I send BOM data to ME before ITEMs are configured in ME, will ME through an error?
I have gone through "SAP MEINT Overview and data communication between SAP ECC and SAP ME via SAP MEINT" help documentation but I didnt get enough clarity over sending data to ME.
Your reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards,
Minakshi.

Hello Minakshi, See my comments in blue.
Understanding till now:
1. ERP will send a BOM (via IDoc) to MII.
2. MII will send it to a queue in ME INT database. ( This one is not quite right )
Inbound Integration :
ECC sends IDOC .
MII receives IDOC and process using message processing rule ( not MEINT Database )
Uses WS calls internally to insert data into ME (WIP Databse)
Outbound integration:
ME adds a record in MEINT table with input xml ( MEINT workflows are used in the background )
MII processes those records from MEINT tables in batches based on the configuration.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Seimens HMI Integration with SAP MII

Dear MII Experts,
We are trying to integrate shop floor systems with SAP MII for discrete manufacturing industry.
I came across the client has 70+ machines in the plant .the vendor is "DMG"
Seimens HMI is installed on each machine .
What are the possible ways here to connect to PLC from MII
I am very new to this integration part .
Can MII directly connect to Seimens HMI .
I am very new to this area , client is ready to pay extra cost for any extra interfaces .
Please suggest me the architecture to follow .
Please give me a detailed explanation here , please correct me if I my explanation is wrong here
Please reply me for any other clarification

Hi Eswaraiah,
To access the PLC data in MII, you would need couple of things more.
1. OPC Server where the PLC stores the data.
2. PCo (SAP Plant Connectivity) that can read the data from OPC Server and send the data to MII for manipulation.
From PCo MII can read the data and you can then perform your business logic. Also, PCo has built-in notification settings which can trigger MII's transactions based upon some conditions.
So I believe, your landscape would look like
Siemens HMI --> OPC Server -> PCo --> MII

NWDI Integration to MII sca files

Hi,
Iam trying to integrate NWDI with existing MII. Iam using MII 12.1.8 version.
I have downloaded MII_BUILDT.sca SP08, and XMII.sca SP08 patches from servive marketplace.
Where can I get the SAP_BUILDT.sca file. Also for integration where should all these 3 sca files to be placed(i mean which path).
Please advice.
Thanks,
Padma

Hi Manoj,
Thanks for the path to find the sca file.
But now I am confused which SP version of this file has to be downloaded whether I need to take MII SP version or NW SP version?
According to MII project building and deploying it says this path \usr\sap\trans\EPS\in\CMS<server><sid>\CMS\inbox for deploying these files is this is correct?
Also one more thing while configuring Integration of MII with Existing NWDI in MII nwa I closed the browser directly , now I see start , resume , re-execute all three buttons are disabled. how can I start or re-execute .
Any help would be appriciated
Thanks,
Padma

Wartsila MII Integration

Hello everbody,
Do you have any experience about integration between Wartsila SCADA system for power plants and SAP MII?

This is the first time I've heard of Wartsila, and my Google searches didn't reveal too much information. It appears that the data may be a bit proprietary, but WOIS (Wärtsilä Operatoru2019s Interface System) and WISE (Wärtsilä Information System Environment) appear to be the possible data locations.
There are some diagrams and discussions in these two pdf's, but I'm not finding much insight on their main website.
http://www.wartsila-nsd.com/Wartsila/global/docs/en/power/media_publications/energy_news/21/plant_automation_today.pdf
http://www.wartsila.com/Wartsila/global/docs/en/about_us/twentyfour7/1_2007/power_plant_automation.pdf
The PLC's may be your only option, through an OPC Server, but neither Matrikon or KepWare searches produced any matches for WOIS, WISE, Wartsila, or Wärtsilä

MII transaction as Web service integration

Hi MII's transaction can be called as WS but it has its own format. We have a system to integrate and this system should call MII's transaction. However the WS interface of the system is inflexible (it cannot be change, but has a very simple structure). So I just want to know any idea how we could change MII in order to adapt to the data structure .

Now, I am able to create the Web Service in SAP and it is now showing the respective class, attribute and methods to execute this web service (web service to call MII transaction).
But when I am calling it from ABAP (a simple Web Dynpro for ABAP method), it is showing me the following error:
Error (id=GET_BUSINESS_SYSTEM_ERROR): An error occurred when determining the business system (LD_ERROR)
Thought this error is coming from ABAP program, but I am sure that this is related to some configuration at SAP level. (Let me inform you that there are two different servers for SAP Web Dynpro ABAP and SAP MII.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

PCo integration with MII and MES

Hi,
How is PCo placed in MII and ME Achitecture. Can PCo directly connects to Shopl floor systems? and how it is connected to MES system. IS this something like Shop floor>PCo->MII->ME->ERP?
Can someone please make me understand?
Thanks,
Raveen

Hi,
as per my knowledge MII helps to interface between MES (if it is installed) and ERP.
if we consider levels then
all the PLCs are in level 1.
all the scada,Historian are in level 2,
MES and database in level 3,
and ERP in level 4.
MII is between level 3 and level 4,
it helps to interface this two level.
as I know PCO can configured with MII. PCO help to create that connectivity between the tag value coming from the scada historian system and MII.
regards,
Suman

Hi,
SAP WEB GUI -> Web based user interface was released at the end of 1996.This was the time when R/3 3.1G was released along with Internet Transaction Server.
WebGUI is still an excellent interface to SAP.
SAP GUI-> With the ITS integrated in the SAP Web Application Server, the Web browser
communicates directly with the SAP system. This is in contrast to the standalone ITS,
where the AGate acts as a SAP GUI logging on to the SAP System.
To know more details you go through the following link:
http://help.sap.com/bp_epv260/EP_JA/documentation/How-to_Guides/WAS/Enabling%20the%20SAP%20GUI%20for%20HTML%20with%20the%20integrated%20ITS%20on%20SAP.pdf
Hope this will help you.
