One SRM integrated with multiple Backends

Hi All
Can One SRM be integrated with multiple Backends?
If so any insights, documentation, pros-cons that can you all can share?
Does the version of SRM or ECC matter?
SRM version will be 7.0 and ECC 6 EP3.
Thanks,
Gamad

Hi Gamad,
multiple backend systems for one SRM is normal and works fine.
You just need to connect the systems, replicate the materials/vendors you would like to use and maintain the SRM customizing:
1) Add the further backend system(s):
-> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Technical Basic Settings -> Define Backend Systems
2) Define the scenario/follow-on document creation for the product categories
-> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Technical Basic Settings  -> Define Backend System for Product Category
3) Define the scenario/follow-on document creation for the product categories
-> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)

    Hi Priya,
    By default ,  we have the provision to set one destination during the creation time of SyncBO.
    (If we are specifying one destination here , then the BAPI wrappers must present on that application
    server which we used for destination creation through SM59).
    If u want to create only one SyncBO for handling ur requirement , then it will become much more complex.
    If the data from different R/3 Systems are independent , then for getting data from  one system
    you can create one syncbo. For this SyncBo u have to create BAPI wrappers in this R/s System and
    and u must create a RFC destination to this R/3 system so that u can give it during the SyncBO creation time.
    <b>If you want to handle the entire data from different R/3 systems in one SyncBo  , this is also possible . You can achieve like this, You have to create BAPI wrappers in the MI server itself.In the MI server u need RFC destinations towards your different R/3 Systems. In the different back end R/3 systems , u have to create RFCs that can be used to fetch the data from the same R/3 system. Then within this BAPI wrappers which are in the MI server , u have to call the RFC enabled function modules using the respective RFC destinations.
    This RFC destinations , u have to hard code within the BAPI Wrapper or can kept as table entries itself.</b>
    If the data from different back end systems are independent , then it is better to create sync bos for the data from each R/3 system...
    If you want to use S01 syncBos , then it will become an overload to the MI server during synchronization.
    But with T01 , that can show much more performance than S01..
    One more thing , if u have large volume of data which is to be replicated in the
    MI server , then u have to take a look at the limitation of ABAP session . ABAP internal session can hold only 2GB.

  • Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?

    Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?
    note: one library universally shared, not Home Sharing (one library each, shared to each.)
    I want to share one library stores on my server and access it through various local computers. When I buy a song from a computer (non-server), I want it to be added to the library (stored on server). I want it to auto copy to my server, for organization. I want to be able to sync my phone from any computer.
    Most of this I can do, if i figure out how to use one universal library for all my computers.
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

  • Security  issue when mi server interacts with multiple backend.

    hii all,
    i wanted to know that if suppose mi server is interacting with multiple backend then how to maintain application access
    security for differnt back end and how & where to customize or configure it.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi Dev,
    Every syncBo has a RFC destination which represent the target system (backend) on which the bapi wrappers for that particular syncBo resides. This RFC destination  is configured in the transaction SM59, which provides you with various secuirty configurations.
    For more info consult your basis consultant in this regards.

  • SRM MDM with Multiple Repositories and required S&A.

    Hello everyone,
    We are in the planning process to migrate from CCM to MDM. Our current environment has two separate customers running on two separate SAP clients in SRM 5.0 using the internal CCM (one SAP SRM instance, 2 separate SAP clients).
    In MDM it seems the concept of SAP client does not exist but the concept of an MDM Repository. I was thinking that by creating two dfifferent repositories (one for each customer) it would substitue the concept of the internal CCM on each SAP client.
    Can we have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers with the required S&A?
    That is, customer A will logon to MDM to maintain only A's repository. Customer A must not be allowed to access B's repository and viceversa.
    Also, Repository A would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client A, and Repository B would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client B.
    The intention is that each customer will have their own electronic catalog.
    Thank you.
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers (that intend to have different electronic catalogs).
    In fact, I think this would be the best way to separate: 1. data sets, 2. access.
    1. Each MDM repository carries its own data set (like SAP client)
    2. Each MDM repository has its own security (users/passwords, roles, etc.)
    Another consideration (relates to point 1) is bringing data from SAP client (e.g. product master, contracts). Since you have two different SAP clients, managing replicated data from both of them in one MDM repository would be a form of suicide.
    You can have multiple repositories on one MDM server. A common case is when you have a staging (master) repository, and a production (slave) repository. The slave repository is what you show to searching end users; the master repository is for data loads. You synchronize the slave repository with any changes from the master at such time when you're sure the master is good to publish.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to configure one TREX host with multiple index servers ?

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know how to configure TREX on the one host,
    with multiple index servers ?
    Reason for this is to make better use of resources available on the host server(4 Gig, 4 Processor, Windows2003), to improve the search performance of
    our KM content for portal users.
    I am using TREX 7 and have not been able to do this,
    despite reading the Single and Distributed install
    documentation.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Andres

    Hi Andres,
    To make use of the RAM a Server provides you have to run two indexserver processes (each can then consume 2 GB);
    Proceed like this:
    1. Go to TREXdeamon.ini; check if section [indexserver2] is there (it is already provided, but not active in standard installation)
    2. In TREXdeamon.ini go to
    [daemon]
    references sections below
    programs=nameserver,preprocessor1,indexserver1,queueserver,alertserver
    and add indexserver2 here. Restart TREX; second porcess is then started; can be checked in TREX monitor in Portal as well
    3. To distribute existing indexes to the new process, start TREXadmintool and go to Index: Landscape
    Go to the last two columns and move the indexes (move master here/secondary mouse click)
    If you don't distribute the indexes the new index server process will be regarded when an new index is created.
    Hope this helps!
    cheers

  • I would like to use one library but with multiple ipods, but because they are my kids Ipods, and they each have their own gift cards, I'd like to be able to add money to their "profiles" without them having their own account - what is the best way

    So here is my delima - I want one Ipod account - because I only want one library - since we all like the same music - but my kids, who have their own IPODS, have gift cards, who want to be able to keep track of their balance without the other child affecting the balance - meaning - each gift card should be seperate and not totalled to the single account - Beacuse the library is fairly large, having three libraries of large amounts would be a waste.  I would also like to restrict their purchased to the gift cards only and not my credit card on file.  Does this make sense?  Once this is resolved, I'm assuming they would use their own playlists to copy their favorites to each Ipod.  Or would I set up an account for each child - which I dont want to do, because I dont want them having access to my Credit Card, and only gift card balances.  With multiple accounts, I'm assuming that would also build seperate libraries?  We also have multiple computers, but I share the library to those computers -
    What is the best way?  I'd like to be able to add credit to a specific child (birthdays, etc) without the other child being able to access that credit.  For simplicity sake.
    We are new to IPODS and lack any MAC skills.
    Thoughts?

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • CUC 8.5 UM integration with multiple AD Forest

    Hi Guys,
    I need to do a unity connection 8.5 UM integration with exchange 2003 and 2010 in two different AD Forest. AD 2003/exchange 2003 is in one Forest (Account Forest) with 2003 mailboxes on a corporate network AND AD 2008/exchange 2010 is in second Forest (Resource Forest) with 2010 mailboxes in the CLOUD. There is also a trust relationship between 2 AD Forest. As per unity connection 8.x SRND, we must create separate unified messaging services account (AD account) for each Forest.
    Given the above scenario, I think we need 2 AD accounts, one on AD 2003 (for exchange 2003 mailboxes) and second one on AD 2008 (for exchange 2010 mailboxes). However, in this configuration if mailboxes are moved from 2003 to 2010 we will have to manually disassociate the unity connection subscriber mailbox with unified messaging service account (AD 2003 account) and re-associate it with unified messaging service account (AD 2008 account), is that correct? or is there a way to automate this if the mailboxes are moved to 2010 unity connection automatically detects the change?
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Can any one comment on this please? Perhaps TAC engineers might be able to provide some insight?

  • One packaging-HU with multiple batches

    hello,
    we use the batch management and the handling unit management. Now we habe the problem that we have a palett-HU with multiple packaging-HUs. One packaging-HU has more than one batches. So SAP create a transport order for a delivery with a pick-HU and post several packaging-HUs on the pick-HU. We don't want it. The packaging-HUs should stay on the palett-HU and we don't want to use the pick-HU. Can anybody help me?

  • SO creation for one internal item with multiple customer code

    Hello,
    We want to create sales order for one internal product for one customer with multiple customer product code.
    SAP allows only one to one relation in customer info record. Is there any work around for having multiple customer product code for our single internal product code in single sales order.
    Regards,
    Balu J Karbhari

    Hello,
    It is not possible. Please check OSS note 626931.
    One alternative approach might be to trying to use the material determination functionality. Please try the below steps and check if it works for you.
    T Code VD51: Create CMIR for Customer & Material
    T. Code VB11: Maintain material determination for all required materials to point to the Material which has the CMIR.
    T Code OVRQ: Substitution reasons. Make the configuration to print Original material . Check  the column ENTRY, so on output the original material will be printed.

  • One report, One Source System with multiple Company Codes -- Authorization

    Hello Guys
    We have 2 DEV source systems for our BI implementation right now. one for US (CCode - 406) an one UK(CCode - 301).
    We have already completed the implementation for UK with 38 reports.
    we are right now moving the US implementation.
    when we move to QAS we are going to have one Source system with both US and UK data.
    so when we move to QAS, the US clients wants to view the reports developed in UK implementation with their own data.
    How can we do that. since some reports doesn't have company code to restrict the data to respective users.
    Thanks and Kind regards,
    shekar.

    Hi
    First make the company code authorization relevant in infoobject BEx explore tab

  • SRM Integration with HR data

    Hello SDN community,
    Our company is struggling right now, because we are not coming up with very good options for an SRM implementation.
    I have tried to read some of the posts regarding SRM and OM integration, but I have zero experience with SRM. 
    I understand that SAP offers a number of ways for an HR system to mirror data either through ALE or other methods to a stand-alone SRM system. 
    We currently have a full OM implementation in our HR system, of org units, positions, and employees.  The SRM team is struggling though because we have a very global and functional org structure, meaning for an org unit like IT operations, we have positions from 5 different countries.  Because of this, HR does not maintain company code at the organizational unit.  We only maintain the company code at the position level in HRP1008. 
    Also, from my understanding when an organizational unit in SRM is linked to a company code it does it in a completely separate infotype (not hrp1008), but an infotype called 'function'.  This infotype does not even appear to be available in our HR system, which does not have SRM installed.
    Also, we do not have a single purchasing organization, so the desire is to have purchasers across our organization and for the approval process to follow the HR line manager hierachy and not a separate standalone Org maintained to support purchasing.
    So based on this information, can someone please provide a functional description of how a standalone ECC 6.0 system with only HR, would integrate OM data to a separate system with SRM installed? 
    How would this integration overcome the problem of the HR system not having the SRM OM infotypes? 
    How would we overcome the problem of the HR Org structure not representing a company code structure, since company codes are more granular for us at the position level?
    Please direct me to any relevant documentation, as I am not finding it easy to get these questions answered on my own.
    Thank You,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    In our company we have implemented classic scenario (SRM 5.5). We are also using the organizational structure, which is transported and updated from HR system. This transportation is done with ALE distribution model (detailed information about this can be received from BASIS consultant).
    In my opinion it is not necessary company code, purchasing group and purchasing organizations to be maintained in Hr structure. Once the structure is transported in SRM, you can maintain them in SRM.
    I will try briefly to summaries you the integration process.
    I presume that you have already establish the RFC connections between the two systems (SRM and HR), you have maintained all integration switches in both systems, and you have maintained BP number ranges for the position assignment and organizational units (in this case the number range is external for SRM and it has to be the same as in HR system).
    It is very important, to maintain  the address data (such as country, city and post code) of the organizational units, before transportation of the structure from the HR system to SRM.
    Relationships between Business Partner numbers of employees and org units and Central Person numbers have to be checked in transaction "Users_Gen". No errors should exist in this report.
    Once the structure is transported, you have to assign the company code, purchasing organization and purchasing groups in SRM.
    We are using two company codes and two purchasing organization. We have made a special development which is mapping the purchasing groups to the different Purchasing organizations (all purchasing groups are assigned to one central Purchasing organization, and after that a mapping is done in a separate table to the other Purchasing organization).
    I have created manually organizational units, which represents the company code, purchasing organization and purchasing groups.
    If you do so, you have to assign their functions (company, purchasing group or purchasing organization), in the FUNCTION TAB in transaction PPOMA_BBP and the responsibility of each purchasing group in the responsibility tab.
    Please have in mind that the persons responsible for maintaining the organizational structure in HR system, have to be notified that you are using manually created organizational units. If the update of the SRM structure is set to be automatically from the HR structure, your units can be deleted.
    After that you should maintain the attributes at organizational unit or at position level for the different users.
    For example,  I have maintained company code at a position level because, in one department, representing one org unit, I have users creating shopping carts for different company codes.
    Hope it is clearer for you now!

  • How to set up One iTunes Library with Multiple Hard Drives

    Hello,
    I have a question about setting up a daisy chain of external storage hard drives for my itunes library and need some advice.  I have run out of room on my 4TB external storage.  I have an additional 4TB and a 2TB external storage (all are MyBooks) and trying to figure out how to separate out my itunes folder:  I would like to put the TV on one 4TB and the Movies and the other 4TB and the Music/Apps/etc on the 2TB.  Here are my questions
    1.) How to I point my iTunes to where I have moved them?  Just make and alias of the folder and put that back in the original folder?
    2.) How do I get the new iTunes downloads to go the correct folder to download so it does not set up a new library for downloading?  Can I set more that one location in my preference?  If so- how?
    I have looked in the forums and all the information is older and does not address this exact issue. 
    Set up:
    Mac mini hooked up to Vizio TV running Lion 10.7.2
          Processor 2.26 GHZ Intel Core Duo 2
         Memory 4GB ( do not really store anything on this one)
    MY Books
         1  2TB   Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
         2  4TB   Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
         1  1TB   Mac OS Extended (Journaled)-  this is for documents, etc
    All these are daisy chain with 800 Firewire to the Macmini and hooked to TV with HDMI.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.  I can not download anything else from iTunes until I get this resolved and it is a real bummer.
