Need information on SAP EP and portal software market

Hi,
I need some information material on the SAP Enterprise Portal and its position in the overall Enterprise Portal software market. Something like the Magic Quadrant from the Gartner Group or a relatively new market research study, for free of course. Me and my colleague want to convince our department manager that this is the future solution for our business. If anybody knows a source for download, please post it here.
Thank you.

Holger,
Slide 27 of 28 onhttps://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/introducing mysap enterprise portal
has the Magic Quadrant.
If you need a presentation, i can send you new presentations with NW04 SR1. Just drop your email. If you are in the US, i can also provide a day to go over material if necessary.
Regards,
James

How can I change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit. No password was given with the iBook? We need to put in printer and other software. Help, we can use the laptop without changing the password.

How can we change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit? No password was given with the iBook and every time we try to install items, the password window pops up. We need to put in printer and other software. Help! We can use the laptop without changing the password.

If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
{With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
Good luck!

Need information about Adobe Flex and WD

Hello SDN!
We try to decide is it possible to use Adobe Flex with WD java for us. So I need to know information like:
1) hardware requirements
2) software requirements (e.g. which versions of SAP NetWeaver are supported, which IDEs are supported and so on)
3) what about licenses - is it free or it necessary to buy it?
4) Adobe Flex and Adobe Flash are the same things or not
5) any other useful information

SAP client and other software on a Virtual Machine

I'm the campus coordinator for a university that is a member of the University Alliances program. This gives us the ability to put the R/3 client and other software on lab machines and also distribute it to students.
Given that we deploy in a shared lab environment on a university campus we often don't have absolute control over things like browser versions, plugins available, security settings, Java version available, and so on. We also only have the ability to do updates, installations, etc. at fixed times of the year.
As a solution for this, we're contemplating creating a virtual machine to be able to control the environment more and also allow the student greater control and customization. At this point we'd be looking at developing a Windows VM, either Vista or XP, that would have the R/3 client, IE with all the correct plugins for running Visual Composer, NetWeaver Developer Studio, and other programs such as Solution Composer. The idea would be that if we need to add a new software resource, change a version, tweak the environment, etc. we could just update and redistribute this virtual machine.
Has anyone here attempted this type of deployment? As we are just beginning, any helpful hints or advice would be appreciated.

I appreciate your willingness to think through this with me and share your expertise.

My assumption was that if we had multiple windows instances out there all with the same key (assuming non-volume key) that the piracy protection built into the OS might in some way cause problems.

I'm not sure how challenging that in fact might be. A quick Google search turned up lots of sites that at least claim to have Windows volume keys and necessary install media. I know that college students can be very adept at things in that domain.
> The biggest problem you might face is the UUID of the client instances - they will be identical. If you plan to use Active Directory functionality (for e. g. Single Sign On) then you need to make sure each VM is different (speaking of running sysprep) and that you have a different user on each VM - which will be not easy to mantain.
If I'm understanding your thought correctly, the UUID issue is why I thought attempting 1 shared OS license key for all VMs would be problematic. My assumption is that having a unique OS key on each VM would solve this problem.
As far Active Directory goes, that likely won't be an issue. Our students have storage on the campus network, but we have no plans for the VM to access that. All our SAP resources are hosted remotely at a UCC. I envision the students being able to 'boot' their VM, connect to the UCC using the client software, do their SAP work, and be done. The only storage they'd have in the VM would be a drive in the VM. While this might not work in many deployments, given our use of this just for lab instruction, I think it would work well.
> Another point to consider is: How to update? If you update your main image (e. g. necessary SAPGUI patches) - how will you distribute that to the USB-VMs - or how will you make sure the students use the latest copy?
This is where our situation and a corporate situation likely differs. Since we are hosted by a UCC that caters just to the academic environment things tend to be build and frozen during the summer and then not changed until the next year. Our classes run each semester independently. Although we may have to roll out a different VM from one semester to the next, a mid-semester change shouldn't be needed. However, having said that, if we do need to install a patch, that should be much easier. In a lab shared environment updating a software version requires a lot of coordination. In this VM situation, each students has full administrator privilege over their VM. If they need to install a patch, they can do so. If they mess this up, they haven't disrupted anyone else. In that instance they could just download the base VM again as a 'reset.'
> In such an environment I'd more think about setting up a terminal server (using Windows 2003) and install all necessary software there. With that you only need to update at one place, you can granularily give permissions to the users and supporting users in case of a proble is easier (mirroring the session) than having single instances with all the same hostname of the client. And all students only need an RDP client which comes with the Windows XP or Vista by default.
That is something we haven't considered with this project, and I'll have to check with our system manager. Resources might be an issue here. We have an abundance of PCs, so each of them running their own VM isn't an issue. I'm not sure if we have a server capable of supporting 30-40 simultaneous remote connections that is not otherwise in use.
Thanks for your ideas here Markus. Any other thoughts, ideas, etc. are most welcome. I'll also update this thread as I start experimenting with this over the next couple of weeks.

Need information about SAP EM Configuration and Implementation

Hi,
I am new to SAP EM.I need to do Configuration for EM and Procurement visibility process.
Please provide some information on configuration of EM with examples.
Thanks,
Prasuna.

Hi
There is wealth of information available on the [Service Marketplace |https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/scm]on the standard visibility scenarios which will probably get you started. Procurement visibility scenario is one of the them and have documentations.
There are couple of points which are worth knowing that SAP Event Management
- requires configuration in both application system (ECC) and SAP EM system (SCM)
- good understanding of the function module (extractors) for sending and posting events
- well thought supply chain events (design) business would like to monitor and manage
- reactions to both expected and unexpected events (follow-up activities)
The other resource available are [SAP PRESS technical book |http://www.sap-press.com/products/Implementing-and-Configuring-SAP-Event-Management.html] and [published case studies |http://www.scmexpertonline.com/article.cfm?session=&id=4804] on the SAP EM Procurement visibility scenario.

Need Information on "Web Reporting in Portal"

Hi Experts,
I want to gain more knowledge on the reporting side. Is there any reporting strategy that talks about Portal, web reporting and the Business Explorer. What is the best practice for reporting in NW 04's in most corporations? Is there any case studies? If someone can provide me with that info. will be a great help for me. Forum points are guranteed. Thanks
Padma K

Hi Padma,
Most of the Organizations are moving towards web reports due to the following advantages:
1. The web query can be used without the GUI installed on the system. For Bex you need the SAP GUI installed.
2. As per SAP the web queries run faster than the bex query.
3. Bex uses excel which has a limitation of 65,536 rows where as your web query does not have that limitation.
4. The web query can be accessed from any browsing cafe also which is not the case with Bex Query.
Another important point is that you get EP(enterprise portal) by default installed with BI 7.0(ABAP+Java stack). So EP is used for publishing the web reports. The trend and the recommendation from SAP is to use EP for BI web reports. In most of the cases you would have a separate EP consultant apart from a BI consultant. The web report created by the BW consultant is published as an iview by an EP consultant.
BW with EP - Check these docs:

Hi,
Q no 1:
Sourcing Cockpit is an area from where you can source the requirements..There are two ways by which sourcing can be done.
1. The Purchase requisiton created from ECC 6.0 can be pushed to SRM for Sourcing . Either direct material with Part no or
Service requirement without part number
2. The shopping cart created in SRM can be converted to sourcing.
once the requirments are flown from ECC 6.0 and SRM . in the SRM server in sourcing node--click Carry our sourcing.
you can get all the requirements.
From this you can convert it to Purchase order,contract,Auction. Bid invitation.
Q. no 2 :Business Rule Framework.(BRF)
This is related to Workflow .From SRM 7.0 this workflow is called Process controlled workflow. Only by simple rules the
Workflow for Approval process for P.O ,Contract,Bid invitation can be done.

Need information regarding local , foreign and document currency

Hi All,
I need to know the difference between local, foreign and document currencies.
Thanks in advance,
vinay

Hi,
Document currency:
This is the currency set at the POS for the sales documents. If the POS system is not able to send this currency to head office, the POS currency is used as the document currency.
Local Currency :
Local Currency - This is, in most cases, the formal currency of the country. In SAP Business One, all the reports displayed in the local currency, and all the foreign currency transactions are translated automatically to local currency. This way, the local currency is the common denominator for all currencies, which enables balance calculation of multi-currency accounts/business partners.
Foreign Currency: This currency we will talk mostly in the Financial areas

Need information on SAP Webshop

Dear All,
Can you please help me to find out if we can use the webshop without implementing SAP CRM. Our customer is having SAP R/3 with modules like: SD, MM, CS.
It will be helpful if you can share details like:
1) What webshop is exactly used for
2) can we implement it without implementing SAP CRM
Regards,
Rakesh

Hello Rakesh,
1) What webshop is exactly used for
SAP E-Commerce (Web shop) is used by customers of your client to create their orders (your client's sales order) through internet. Instead of your client creating orders using VA01, their customers can directly login, browse the catalog (from material master), check availability, see the price, freight etc. They can also see the status of the order and invoices.
2) can we implement it without implementing SAP CRM
Yes. There is also SAP E-Commerce for ERP which does not require any SAP CRM system for the solution. This solution uses R/3 backend for the master data and transactions. There are interesting scenarios like B2B, B2C, BOB etc.
