OpenPSMSP4 to interface MS Project with SAP Project Sytems

I have installed OpenPSMSP4 to interface MS Project 2007 SP2 with SAP Project System ECC 6.0. However the upload button is deactivated so i cannot transfer from MS Project to the SAP System.
I have already created the role (SAP_PS_EPS) in PFCG and carried out the user maintenance in SU01 along with authorization for object S_RFC and S_USER_GRP but still the button remains deactivated.
Kindly let me know if I need do something else in SAP.
Regards
Salim

Hi,
Try MS Project 2007 SP1 instead of SP2.
This should solve the problem.

De-link PPM Item with SAP Project

Hello,
Can somebdoy throw a light on what to do in case I want to de-link a PPM-item with SAP project.This situation may rise if I want to change the project actuals going to bucket A to bucket B.As I can not change the relationship of an item with the bucket, I am looking for alternate solution where I can de-link SAP Project with SAP PPM item.
thank you!
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra
If you are meaning to de-link a PS Project from a PPM Item, you can from the Item navigate to the 'Relationships' tab and then on the 'object links'sub-tab select and delete the assignment:
You can also remove a cProject relationship by clicking the 'Related Objects' sub-tab
Your comment that you cannot move an Item to a new Bucket - is this because your business process does not allow you to do so? Because this is definitely possible in the system.
Let me know if you have any further questions as I am not sure I have addressed your question

Integration of a Java Project with SAP using XI 2.0

Hi,
I want to integrate one project written in Java with SAP Using XI 2.0 . The data from Java Project will be given in the XML file and the data needs to be posted in SAP .
Also PO data from SAp should be given in XML , which Java Software will read filter it and Update its database.
Can anybody practically guide me as to how should I go about implementing it .
Thanks in Advance.
Sanjana

Suryakant & Sanjana :
Step 1: Create web service using Java (EJBs) and consume this web service in SAP XI.
Step 2: PO data from SAP
Step 2.i:
In XI 2.0 you cannot expose RFC as a web service
so what you need to do is create a EJB project to call RFC
using JCO and then expose this EJB project as web service.
Step 2.ii:
Consume the web service created in step 2.i into XI.
Step 2.iii:
In XI expose then expose this as web service.
Step 2.iv:
consume the web service created in step 2.iv using Java Application.

C project with SAP 4.7?

Dear All
I just want to know, whether C-project, C-Folder & xRPM can be used with SAP 4.7?
I heard it's possible only with ECC 5.0 & ECC 6.0.
If by any means, we can use C-project, C-folder & xRPM with SAP 4.7, please do let me know, where can I download these add on components?
Thanks

Dear Nishit
Thanks for responding.
I have SAP 4.7 in my system. And I have cProject suite 3.1.
I extracted the 51030228.ZIP (this was the file I downloaded from service market place), There are several files & folders. One among them is INST folder, which contains INST/DATA folder. In DATA folder I can see a file IN310640.SAR .
I logged on to 000 client in SAP. Then used SAINT. I tried loading IN310640.SAR from front-end (IN310640.SAR this file is copied on to the system hard disk). After a while I got a pop up saying:
The file transfer with the GUI upload can take a long time for files that are more than 10 MB.
The file 'IN310640.SAR' is 53.185.336 bytes size. You must therefore use FTP to transfer
to the application server and unpack it as described in the 'Load Installation section of the Online Help.
Do you still want to transfer the file
When I click on YES, nothing happens.
Can you please suggest the method to install this add-on?
Thanks & Regards

Newbie - First Project with SAP Team... Monitoring Solutions/Strategy?

I just started my first job out of school two weeks ago. My first project is to work on a "monitoring strategy" for our large SAP enterprise system. We have CRM, SRM, ERP, Sol Man, EDOS, XI, etc... I am supposed to dig into each of these portions of SAP and determine what may need monitored and how to set that up... Does anyone have any ideas of how I should get started? I am new to SAP but have a decent high level understanding of it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The first thing about being a newbie (welcome though!) to monitoring questions at SDN is that you need to read the "rules of engagement" first.
These clearly state:
>- Please do not Cross post.
> Post your question in the most appropriate forum; not multiple forums. This is bad netiquette and will might only aggravate potential repliers.
Well, as this NW Admin forum is the most appropriate one and the other 5 which you have cross-posted to are (in my opinion) not, I will not lock this thread here. Most likely your other threads will be deleted or locked by other moderators though.
Please also read the rest of the rules by end of week three... which explain further about what is monitoried in the forums...
Cheers,
Julius

Organising a big project with sub-projects

So ,I'm laying out my project now, very large. Easily over 1000 topics, about 1000 images, some embedded, some not, variables all over the place etc., and this is for our generic help file.
I'm thinking of how to proceed with the other versions of this that will come in the future, i.e client specific help files with some sections removed that aren't relevent, images changed etc.
Just wondering what people think.
a) create a new project for each client iteration of the help file and share topics, variables etc using the resource manager? (this is what it is used for correct?)
b) leave everything in one large project, remove topic in each TOC before publishing and maintain everything in one place.
Both are good ideas, maybe. if I have different projects, then I manage things individually and keep prject sizes low and organised. If I keep each topic in one place I don't have issues with importanting resources, keeping them all shared properly and potentially losing things and everything is centralized, though things could become very big and maybe RH will start to slow down......
I also worry about the Resource manager and where its storing things that I import into it, and if they are lost/corrupted then other links etc might die also....
cheers.
Nick

"ah ok then, so to achieve output where I want some topics in and some not I need to use the conditional tags, and basically I have to apply conditional tags to every topic..."
Not exactly.
To control "some topics in and some not," different TOCs and different layouts can each be used, in addition to conditional tags.
And no, you do not "have to apply conditional tags to every topic." As Peter said, topics with no conditional build tag will be included in every output. You might find variables to be more useful if you're looking at branding or versioning issues (the rest of the topic is identical for every output, and would not need conditionalizing).
Your best bet is to investigate what the output demands are currently, and what they might morph into in the near term and long term, such as whether context-sensitive help will be needed, whether print versions will be supplied, etc. You might find that the largest percentage of topics will appear in every output, with each of them containing a smattering of variables, snippets, and conditionalized segments of content (different screenshots, tables, etc.). You might even structure a merged help project so that certain outputs would eliminate entire project folders.
Bottom line: one solution is usually never the way to go...be good to yourself, and use all the features that RH offers. But again, do your homework now, to save yourself untold grief later on.
Good luck,
Leon

Real PHP project with PHP + SAP

Hi,
a question for the zend guys - is there ANY live customer/projects that uses SAP + PHP ?
Thanks

Hi,
i'm working for a german company "http://www.uniorg.de" and we have implemented some real live projects with SAP R3 and PHP. Some of them handle a large amount of data for international companies.
A lot of this projects are in the scope of webshops. A subset of data is imported into mysql and the web presentation layer is done with php. The realisation of the interface layer depends on the SAP System. Actually, we use SOAP Services for R4.7 Systems, but we also have an own product called "ETS Server" to use web technics like XML under SAP R2.x. We also have a PHP portal framework solution to do similar things like Enterprise Portals, but with Open Source Software.
Sure, the same problems could be done with java (we are also experienced in java development, cause we developed one of the leading CMS Systems for IBM Lotus Domino and also special BSPs/iViews for SAP EP Domino Integration), but there are other reasons beside knowledge.
PHP is fast and efficient cause it is compiled for every supported plattform. Java is working in a sandbox (own memory management) and this make things slow/expensive. For the same functionality you will need more server ressources or a bigger hardware. So comparing memory intensive things PHP is normally 10 times faster than java. Using XML Parsing/Processing boosts the usage of php cause java also implements the parser in java (PHP uses native parsers in C/C++).
Beside this, you need less time to develop php programs cause you don't have to wait for the compiler and don't need a deployment everytime. Since PHP5 you also develop in an java objectoriented approach.
If a have to make an offering for a customer, a php solution will be cheaper than the same solution in java, but there are also reasons not to use PHP:
- You shouldn't use PHP, if you need a server plattform that is not supported by PHP (Zend).
- Scalability for high traffic applications must be done by yourself (so do you have the needed knowhow?). Or you have to buy commercial php bundles.
- You need a highly integrated development environment like Netweaver Developer Studio for developing WebServices.
- You need Enterprise Services (like EJBs)
- Money is no reason and you are a consultant
At the moment, we mainly use php for the browser based presentation layer of web applications (especially high traffic sites). There is also no real B2C support by SAP Widgets like BSPs or WebDynpro, cause you can not force the customer to have special web clients (supported by SAP).
If PHP will be native integrated inside the WAS, it will be interesting to do more performance critical tasks with PHP.
Hope that helps someone to get an idea why to use PHP.
If you need more information, please contact me.

Why SAP Projects Fails??

Hello abapers, right now i'm writing a paper for the company that i work, this paper it's related with SAP Projects, i would be so glad if you let me hear your comments about What are the reason that you think that makes SAP Projects Fails? It an IT related stuff.
I want collect all your comments based on your experience implanting SAP Projects. This is important to me because a will see closer the common problem around the world and will not localized my paper use only issues that i may know.
Regards,
Carlos.

Hi Carlos,
You have touched upon a major topic here and I am not sure if you can ever close this post. But let me give it a try. Let me try to put it into perpective by discussing the topic following the project lifecycle.
Now any ERP implementation starts with a requirement at the top level to refine their IT landscape to better support the business. Then you go out to search for the best tool to do that. That can be your first point of failure, if you don't identify the right fit(ERP software) for your organization. I was on a SAP project where they thought SAP is the best fit for their business, but 6 months into the project, they realized that even though SAP is the best ERP software around, it didn't fit their needs. They scrapped the project and went for custom development in Oracle.
Then comes your choice of the implementation partner. A big implementation like an ERP implementation cannot be completely sourced with inhouse resources. You meed a implementation partner who has the experience to steer you though the implementation and make it successful. Now this is not specific to SAP, but with SAP you have to be even more careful on this aspect because of the costs and time involved.
Once you have identified SAP as the tool and identified your implementation partner, you then venture into the identification of implementation team from your organization. Depending on which modules you are implementing, you want to identify teams that have a very healthy mix of business knowledge, experience in specific areas of the company's business functions, technical expertise that can easily adopt and learn new software quickly. If your team is not chosen wisely then there will be a makor gap between the requirements and their translation into implementation.
Defining the scope of the project is also important. By doing this, you will identify which processes you will implement in SAP and as a result which applications you will replace with SAP and which applications you will interface with SAP. If you fail to correctly identify this, then the project will fail.
An ERP implementation means a lot of change and that means all your end users, your implementation team, your management and basically everyone should be ready for it. This involves a major investment(not necessarily monetary) in change management. There will be a change in the way you do things and everyone should be ready for it. If they are not, then there will be a failure in effective use of the tool thus effecting its utility to the organization and the productivity of the employee.
After you are past the requirements phase and team preparation phase, you enter the design phase. The project can make or break depending on what happens in this phase. This is where the implementation team goes out to define the business processes, identify requirements and translate them into configuration and development specs etc. If any of the tasks here go wrong, then the final product will be a failure.
In the development phase, it can be any or all of the factors like lack of technical expertise, lack of usage of best practices, lack of standards, lack of supporting infrastructure etc.
Other factors include, support from top management and business process owners for the project(they should be the stakeholders in this), political aspects of the client place, integration requirements etc.
As Anand pointed you first need define 'failure'. In a project as big as an ERP/SAP implementation, a complete scrapping of the project can be a failure, or not completing the project on budget, on time could be a failure or not being able to deliver one specific critical functionality can be a failure. So as you can see, the definition of the failure itself can be so different for so many implementations.
Even though your question is specific to SAP, my answer is more generic and applicable to any large scale project. SAP inherently has no in-built faults that make a project a failure. As long as you keep all the above factors in control, you should have a successful project.
Hope this discussion continues.

In sap project who get lot of oppurtunities,sap abapers or sap bw people?

hi all
in general sap project in sap project who get lot of oppurtunities,sap abapers or sap bw people?
thanks,

Hi,
It depends on the based on the clients/customer business process & scenario's ,& the type of SAP Projects to be implemented .
In Business intelligenc projects, we do require more BI Consultants compare to ABAP er's & other consultants.In ECC 6.0 & other R/3 implementaions, the demand for ABAP er's & other consultants wil be more .
So finally the Vacancies are the part & parcel of the type SAP projects to be implemented.

Saving Sequence and Effects Presets that go with the project itself

Hi, please be gentle as I'm a newbie to the site.
I have been asked to create several master Premiere Pro projects in CC (templates if you like) that will be being sent to quite a few ops worldwide, many of whom are completely new to the Adobe Platform, so I would like to keep things as simple as I can for them.
Is it possible to create sequence presets and a few effects presets that actually go with the project. At the moment when I've tried opening projects on another machine with a different user account, it overwrites everything with their presets and I can't find anything to stop that from happening. I'm assuming it's to do with sync settings.
However, is there a function to allow premiere pro to open the project with the project's last settings (sequence and effects presets) rather than default to the user prefs? As an aside, I'm not interested in workspace or keyboard shortcuts - that's down to them!
If it's not possible, is there a very simple step-by-step workflow I can use? But I'd really like to avoid trying to explain how to install sequence and effect presets to loads of different ops if I can!!
Finally (wrong forum I know) but I need to do exactly the same thing with the assocated After Effects master template projects, so any help on that would be gratefully received too.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
When it comes to effects presets, you should be able to right-click on the Presets in the Effects bin and Export Presets...
The ops can then import the presets using the same method (right-click on the presets in the effects bin and choose Import Presets...)
For sequence presets, I can't find a way to do it within the software. Someone else will probably have to help you find it, but I'm certain there is a file somewhere in your computer that stores all of your Sequence Presets, so it would be a matter of finding and sharing that file with the ops, and then telling them where to put that file.
Hopefully this helps out a little bit!

Why do shared datasources have to reside with the project?

Background:
SQL SERVER 2008 r2
Visual Studio 2008
I inherited a mess that I'm trying to clean up. We have 8 projects for a single application and each one of these projects has its own solution. I'm trying to create a single solution that holds all 8 projects with each project in it's own folder.
I'm able to add all 8 projects to a single solution in Visual Studio but the problem I'm having is with shared datasources and datasets. Every one of these projects is using a single datasource pointing to the exact same database. When I
add the shared datasource to the project it copies it to the project folder. I end up with the exact same datasource in 8 different folders. The same holds true for the datasets.
The report server as a separate folder for the shared datasources and another for the shared datasets. The reports are in their own folders. How can I replicate this hierarchy in Visual Studio?

Hi RayMajewski,
Per my understanding that you have 8 projects and you want to move these 8 projects under a single solution, but now you have some issue with the shared data sources and datasets, right?
As you know, by default when you create to add an new project, there will be three default folders under the project, if each 8 project have its own shared data sources and shared Datasets, when move to one solution, the shared data sources and
shared Datasets will keep together under the project.
Please reference to details information below to make sure you have move the project correctly.
Copy the 8 projects to the solution folder in the local disk: .\\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Solution2.
Click the file and select the Open to open "Solution/Project" to add these project to the solution one by one:
You will find the data sources and datasets move together under the project like below:
If what you want is to replicate this hierarchy in Visual Studio outside the project, currently we couldn't find any good method to do this and it is not support to keep them outside of the current project. If all the 8 project point to the same database,
you can just copy the share data source from one project to another project to create the same shared data source in another project.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
