Multiple Backends, e-Sourcing

Hi all, we have positioned e-Sourcing at a client that now intends to integrate to multiple backends. With the SAP Consulting Note (OSS), we can interface e-Sourcing to a single backend. Does anyone have any experience with integrating to multiple backends? Some of our initial white board sessions to resolve this include:
1. Writing some code/scripts or mapping with PI/XI to mimic the SRM BADI "determine logical system" to route the contract back to the appropriate R3.
2. Using the Portal function "Composite Application Framework" to facilitate the selection of appropriate backend systems.
If anyone has experience or comments, please provide details or point me to some documentation to support this effort. I assume someone has addressed this previously. thank you.
regards,
gary

Hi Gary
We are also looking at implementing the Multiple Backend scenarios for SAp E-Sourcing integration with SAP R/3
We understand that SAP will offer this as an interface from version 6.0 onwards, however this release as of now has been cancelled and are now looking at SAp E-Sourcing version 5.1 that will have the Multiple Backend integration
Just to add to your views, we can still looking at using the splitter functionality in SAP XI to help push the messages to the respective multiple backends, however we need to create fresh Interfaces that will be used to Push from SAP E-Sourcing to SAP R/3 XML messages routed through XI
We have to take these as development initiatives and address the multiple backend integration
However, if you are able to hold on till version 5.1 is released in Q2, 2008, you need not develop these interfaces, incase its the project requirement at the moment, then you can go ahead and develop these interfaces in XI
Incase you can share some information on the Single Backend integration, please feel free to send them to [email protected]
Let me know if you need more information on your subject,and the decision you finally take to address your issue

We are implementing CRM Middleware - Multiple Backend Scenario (MEP / MBE Concept) in our client landscape for SAP CRM on HANA (Ehp3)
set-up.
And If any one of you have already implemented MEP Scenario in the SAP CRM Landscape, Could you please help us to provide with the Configuration Steps / Documents, so that we can proceed further.
Below are the following Queries:
For Customizing Adapter Object:
1) Does MEP Concept support the Customizing Adapter object to download from more than one ECC System to single CRM System.
    If Yes, Could you please provide the Configuration steps or Procedure to download the customizing data.
For Master Adapter Object:
2) The Adapter objects for Master Data like Customer and Materials are technically supported under MEP for the data exchange.
     However, is it possible to download the Equipments Master Data from more than one ECC System to single CRM System?
     If Yes, Could you please provide the steps or Procedure to download the Equipments Master Data.
And please provide if you have done the Solution Manager Configuration mapping for MEP Scenario, which is required for the maintenance and transfer of customizing mappings to CRM and Mapbox.

Multiple usage of Source System is not possible with installed DMIS version on source

Hello folks!
I`ve got a problem trying to adjust the Data Replication to SAP BW (on HANA) using SAP LT Replication Server.
I`ve deleted one connection and after that I`m trying to create new one through Configuration & Monitoring Dashboard (transaction LTR) with the same source / target systems.
As result when on the second step (Specify Source System) I specify RFC destination of the source system it appears an error with text
"Multiple usage of Source System is not possible with installed DMIS version on source".
But there`s no any adjusted connection in system now..
Please, help me to understand how to fix that problem, I can`t find a solution

Hi,
When you say that you 'deleted one connection', did you delete the RFC connection or the SLT Configuration? If it is not a real multiple usage scenario, then deactivate the 'allow multiple usage' flag, else install the correct DMIS version on both SLT and source.
Thanks

Find exact RFC Destination for Multiple backend Systems In SAP Gateway

Hi Gateway developers,
I have requirement,if gateway hub system has multiple backend systems( for example two backend systems: ECC and SRM ) then how hub system can get the suitable backend alias for exact entity collection..
Here i have developed two entities one entity regards: ECC and second one regards SRM system..within this when I run the service it is always taking any of the same alias for both the collections..
Can you please suggest me..
Thanks
Sreenivas Pachva

Hi Srinivas,
You can add the respective system Alias Name: Like logical system name in your URI also.
Example:
/sap/Service Name;mo=ECCCLNT210/zentity1?Customer1='0001'
/sap/Service Name;mo=SRMCLNT400/zentity2?Customer2='ABCD'
May this help you.

Unable to define connector for multiple backend systems in BRM

Hi,
I am on GRCFND_A V.11 and SP04
I have multiple backend systems integrated with GRC box. So far I was using one backend connector as default one for role maintenance but it is not feasible if you have to create roles in variuos backend connected systems. I know one way to do so, i can keep changing the default connectors whenever i need to create roles but that is obviously not at all the onw any one would like to go with.
So, I tried to create unique connector groups for every individul backend connectors. But the issue is, the moment i assign the backend connector to the respective connector groups, the same gets reflected to other connector groups as well. So, whenever i either add or delete some of the connectors to any connector groups it gets modified/changed from all of the connector groups.
These are the backend connectors where i have to create roles from BRM whenever needed.
These are the connector groups:
I followed to the ink: GRC AC 10 BRM: Default Connectors with Multiple Back-end R/3 Systems , which is the same as mine issue, but not able to come to the solution point.
would appreciate for your quick response.
Thanks,
Ameet

Could anyone suggest solution to the above mentioned issue please?

Multiple R/3 Source systems for BW(3.5)

Hi,
A BW system being linked with multiple R/3 source systems , is a very common scenario. But could someone please help me out with a strategy doc / how -to etc. on the best possible way to install business content for multiple R/3 sources .
thanks

Hi Shurobhi,
This is a common scenario. there is not much difference between single source system and multiple source systems.
If you have data coming from 3 source systems you dont need to create 3 cubes and update seperately. you can update 3 source systems data into one single cube. For Example: FI AP Line Item data : You have source systems 1 2 and 3. you can use standard business content ODS and Cube to update FI AP data. Here first, init for source system 1 followed by delta for source system 1, then init for source system 2 followed by delta 2, finally init for 3 followed by delta 3. From here on you can load data to info cube in the above layer.
Thanks

Mapping of single Portal users to multiple backend user

Hello Experts,
It is possible to map single portal user to the multiple R/3 user? If yes, than what is procedure to achieve it?
I have a SAP Portal where some users have 2 user ID in ECC, but I need to in Portal the users have only one user ID and password. How can I do to these users can select between their 2 profiles in ECC? Is posible?
Thanks!
Regards

Hi,
This is not possible since you would have used SSO to connect to the Backend. Either it is SSO or User Mapping is done, Portal User can only access the Backend with one User ID.
If you use SSO, for Example if the Portal User is UserA then you would have the UserA in the Backend too. It will use the UserA in backend to access. (Note: Single User can't access multiple Backend. Since we would have already maintained the Backend Connection details in the System and also in JCo Destination. So it is not possible for a User to access the Backend with two different Backends)
If you use User Mapping, then you can decide the User which it should use. (For ESS/MSS this is not recommended and it is not feasible too).

Using table comparison can we use multiple tables as source?

Using table comparison can we use multiple tables as source?
Thank you very much for the helpful info.

Table Comparison
1) Input Data coming in
2) Comparison table (table to which the data is compared)
3) Output (input rows with respective opcodes based on the comparison result of input dataset with the comparison table)
If your question is whether table comparison can accept union/join of multiple table sources, you can achieve by using merge/query transforms and then feeding to table comparison. Here, you have to be careful about choosing the primary keys inside table comparison

Single Logical Table Source VS Multiple Logical Table Source

Multiple Trusted Recon Sources

I recently attended an Oracle OIM training. We were told that you can not have multiple trusted recon sources. This is a feature coming in the next release of OIM. I have read a few posts where it seems you can. The simple business case is that we have multiple HR sources, 11 to be exact, We need ongoing recons that create new OIM users from all these sources. Is this possible? Is there a DSML interface to create OIM users possibly?
Eric Garza
[email protected]

Like Deborah says, it is possible but be careful about parameter selection.
If you want to Create OIM Users, instead of DSML , there is either custom OIM API option or SPML option.
Another alternative is to use Oracle Virtual Directory and you can configure all the 11 data sources on the back end of VD and you can use OIM talk to one connector.
Thanks

SRM 7.0 extended classic possible for multiple backends?

Hi all,
I know that SRM 7.0 can be set up for multiple backends in the classic scenario.
And i assume it is also possible to do so in the EXTENDED classic scenario.
Could somebody please confrim that this is possible?
Has somesone already set up this landscape and any recommendations, advice, hits, do's and dont's?
Cheers

Hi Ulrike,
SRM 7.0 supports ECS for multiple backends. We are using it now.

ABAP Mapbox CRM 7.0 for a Multiple Backend Scenario

Dear SDN community members,
In our project we have one CRM system connected to three ERPs. For this reason we try to use the ABAP MAPBOX functionality for the customizing and master data mapping. In the process of the initial download of CUSTOMER_MAIN object we take the following error :No table entry found: 'CUST_REL'/'CRTCLNT100', Service that caused the error: SMW3_OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS. As we have read on the CRM 7.0 the ABAP MAPBOX is part of the ABAP stack of CRM and for this reason we do not create RFC connection for the MAPBOX. Is this correct ?
Does anyone have any idea about the problem above ? Also is there any technical documentation for the customizing steps that are needed for the scenario of multiple backend systems ?
Thanks in advance,
John Syrigos

Hi John, our project is facing the same requirement, multiple ECC 5.0/6.0 back ends. Were you successful in the integration and MapBox activation and can you give me any lessons learned in your experience?
thanks
Glenn

Role of clients in CRM Multiple Backend Scenario

Does the CRM Multiple Backend Scenario only apply to a single client pointed to multiple CRM or ERP systems.
All the relevant tables are client dependent in CRM 2007 and the client independent ones use logical destinations which can easily be pointed todifferent clients.
We want to point different clients on a CRM or ERP system to multiple back ends, but each client will only have a single client that it points to.
For example
CRM (dev) client 100 is connected to ERP (sandbox) client 100
CRM (dev) client 200 is connected to ERP (dev) client 100
CRM (test) client 100 is connected to ERP (qa) client 100
CRM (qa) client 100 is connected to ERP (qa) client 200
This will only be in the development and qa systems. Production will be a single system and client on each side.
Regards,
Aubrey Smith

Aubrey,
Development will happen in only one client system. This can later be moved to Quality and further to production. All customization will also be moved same way. It may also happen that your development is cross client so if you do development on 100 , it will be available on 200 client as well.

Multiple Backend for APO system

hi Experts,
I have a scenario to connect multiple backend (ERP system Ehp4) to the APO system (7.0 SP 03). The ERP development system & ERP support system will be connected to one APO system which will be used for development.
the query is,
1. will there be any problem in this kind of landscape (for txn data, master data & transports)
2. does SAP give any standard feature to connect this way
3. how can the data from one APO identified uniquely to be sent to different ERP systems.
4. generally what are the difficulties in this scenario?
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Vasudevan

Hi,
Definitely APO can be connected to multiple R/3 systems.
1. You need to maintain the BSG group to differentiate the 2 R/3 systems. Please read SAP help on BSG.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/ba/737b3704716066e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
The BSG helps to differentiate master data between the 2 or more R/3 systems
2. CIF setting (CFM1 & CFM2) in R/3 & publication setting (/n/SAPAPO/CP1) in APO is critical for data transfer between the right systems (R/3 & APO).
APO identifies from Publicaiton setting, the R/3 system where the data is to be transferred for a particluar location (same location is not expected to be in both the R/3 system)
3. For issue related to the BUoM, you can maintain the conversion factor between the BUoM in the material master in both the R/3 systems.
We have similar scenario, where in 2 R/3 systems having same materials codes have different BuoM. We maintain the converstion factor in alternative UoM to avoid UoM issues. We are not facing much issues expect for Sales order, where we get difference in delta report. we just transfer the blocked Queues to APO.
hope this helps.

Nawanit
