Opportunities of E-Commerce Domain Knowledge in SAP

Hi Experts,
Please let me know the opportunities of E-Commerce / Ecommerce Domain Knowledge in SAP world. What kind of experiences / duration of experience on E-Commerce are suitable for your suggested SAP Module / Area?

Hello Harinarayan,
There could be many approach for doing this thing. We have implemented similar scenarios in 2-3 companies. We have followed following approach:
a) Generate and send email from the website to a particular email address.
b) Configure one computer to receive these emails in outlook
c) Run a program, written in VB, using DI-API, to parse the emails and create appropriate entries in B1
d) Create a separate program and run it to update the website database.
This approach has been good for us, as it do not require dedicated internet connectivity on B1 server, which will be required when using SOAP, or DI-Server. It could easily be configured to run automatically after a fixed interval of time, so that it does not require any manual intervention either.
I would happy to share the ideas and coding for this, if required.

Hi all,
I would like to start my career in SAP.My friends said that domain knowledge is important for SAP ABAP OR XI,please suggest me
1.which is the best way to start my career in SAP
2.How to learn domain knowledge
3.what are the basic things to be strong to get into the world's biggest market .....SAP and cope up with ABAP or XI
I hope SDN is the best helper for any SAP consultant.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Dear Kumar.P,
You have a good wish, But you didn't let us know what is your education back ground.
If you are a computer graduate and got good knowledge on programming languages jump in a technical consultant. You can do this by learning ABAP and Netweaver XI or Java Programming + Netweaver XI or Netweaver with Java and ABAP is good.
If you don't have computer programming knowledge and got domain knowledge about any of the modules, then learn that particular domain base SAP module.
Best of Luck for you future.

Certifications for Domain EHS Domain Knowledge

Hi All,
I am currently working with an leading Software MNC as an SAP EHS Consultant - Product Safety Sub module and would like to get more domain knowledge in this area.
I am interested in knowing there are any certifications which would give me domain expertise in EHS. I came across NEBOSH International General Certificate so wanted to know more about the scope of taking such a certificate.
if any one has taken such a certificate, do share your experiences.
Thanks,
Gaurish

Dear Gaurish
check e.g.: SAP EHS Management for Beginners
Most of your topics is considered in this thread like:
1.) is there a certification (Answer: no)
2.) there to start with EHS/EHSM?
3.) What ar job opportunities?
4.) What are training options
etc.
C.B.
PS: if your question is not related to SAP EHS etc. certification: I am sory to say that the world is to big to explain what you might need here (there are too many different isuues/toics to cover). To my knowlegde there is nothing in place which is accepted "globally". You need to differentiate product safety topics, dangerous goods m,anagement topics, topcc regarding IHS,, waste handling etc.
I have "shortly" googled the term "NEBOSH International General Certificate" (and found something like
Qualifications | Nebosh
International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety --- NEBOSH Online Store
NEBOSH - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nether heard before. Therefore if or if not this certificate might help you to find a job opportunity: no idea; But it seems to be related more on the "business/legal" side rather than linked to SAP EHS topics.

MS Commerce Server integration with SAP CRM

Hi,
We're investigating on how to possibly connect a MS eCom solution (MS Commerce Server) to a SAP CRM backend.
With the correct middleware and some Bapi's this would probably be do-able solution I guess, but does anyone have info on standard setups for this?
- Standard Bapi's to use?
- Middleware to be used (will XI do it all or do we need a 3th party middleware solution)?
- Are any of the standard MS eCom screens aligned with what's in the SAP Badi's?
- What about pricing information - is the info returning from the IPC valid for MS eCom display?
Anyway - if anybody has any ideas or experience around this - feel free to reply.
Thanx!

Thanks Baskar for your reply
Can you please endorse if the following activities are needed to perform for its implementation
1. Using MS EPM SDK, create mapping data (XML)
2. Windows Synchronization Service to detect changes in MS EPM
3. SAP PI / XI for web-services
4. BAPIs to update SAP PS project
The same goes to sync SAP PS with MS EPM in reverse order.
Plus, is there standard implementation document available as provided to integrate MS EPM with cProjects?
There are many forum posts for which all replies are related to knowledge sharing, possibility and idea sharing. I don't find any post related to its actual implementation.

Does IT services sales experience can be counted as a domain experience for SAP SD Fresher?

Hello All,
I am new to SCN and i need your help.
I am currently working as a Sales Executive with an IT consulting firm specialized in SAP & Oracle consulting services.
I want to enter into SAP world and i thought that SAP SD is best for me because of my education (MBA-Marketing) & current experience.
When i research on SAP SD i got to know that Domain knowledge is very important for a consultant. I felt happy because I have around 3 Years of Sales experience for Oracle & SAP consulting services.
After enrolling for SAP SD education one day I heard that experience of services industry is not counted as a domain experience.
I had already invested huge money for SAP SD education and now i am feeling helpless because of this news.
Please help me with your experience whether IT services sales experience can be counted as a domain experience for SAP SD Fresher or not?
Waiting for your response.
Your Junior,
Alok

Alok,
Don't worry! IT service sales experience can be counted as domain experience for SAP SD career.
After being in SAP for some years (as an end user, key user, SD consultant), the most important things are clear process thinking, perseverance, honest hard work and communication.
If you have the above qualities, then you will succeed in SAP!
SAP SD is the logistics side of sales. In other words, there is a Laptop repair shop. If SAP SD is implemented, it will take care of creating repair order, creating billing document. So it is not about selling but about maintaining those "records" in SD.
The above example is of service. This too is part of SD.
So if someone has experience in sale of service that is relevant domain experience.
Apart from this you have to understand, imagine - sale of products.
In sale of products, there will be one addition step - delivery of product, from the manufacturer to the customer / consumer.
Focus you mind on learning.
Good luck!

SAP E-commerce for ERP with SAP Retail back-end

Hi,
does anyone implemeted an E-commerce solution with a SAP Retail backend system?
Our dubt is if durig order entry E-commerce application consider the product variant grid (like in VA01) or not.
We found that this function is supported with an AFS back-end, but we would like to know if it is available also with a retail system.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
while we have quite a few implementatinos with E-Commerce and SAP Retail backend, the specific grid functionality you have seen in AFS is not supported with Retail backend. Hence, most customers enhance the standard product offering at that point, catering for e.g. drop down list boxes with style/color/size selection. In case you're only selling "normal" retail products (individual SKUs), the standard product works fine.
Thanks
Dominik

Domain Functionalities for SAP Applications

Hi All,
I have 2 questions:
1) what are the benefits from joining SAP Applications to domain ( on operating system level)
2) I have SAP Applications that are installed on Linux and the domain is windows 2003, is it useful to add them to the domain or we have to change it to Linux domain
Regards,
Nadia

> Can you explain in a more detailed level.
Explain what?
A Windows domain authenticates users centrally and provides services (such as print services) that can only be used by members of the domain. That's why a SAP installation should be done in a domain if you want to use those services.
> Is the domain usage necessary in the production system or not?
As of Windows 2008 only domain installations are supported, standalone installations are deprecated.
Be aware of the following:
You can not such put the server in a domain if the system is already installed. You will need to do a homogeneous system copy to do so because the complete environment of the installation changes.
See Note 1233320 - Domain migration for SAP system

Change in Active Directory Domain where a SAP landscape is installed

Dear fellow forum members,
the IT team of one of our customers is planning a change in their Microsoft Active Domain forest in their LAN: as their SAP ERP systems are all domain installations, they have asked me, as their BASIS consultant, if this activity could harm in any way their SAP landscape.
The SAP ERP Systems are domain installations on two Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit hosts.
This is the activity they plan to do is to replace an old Windows Server 2003 domain controller with a Windows Server 2012 domain controller. These are the steps they will do:
1) Add the new Windows Server 2012 domain controller to the forest;
2) Move the main roles from the old Windows Server 2003 domain controller to the new 2012 one, following the procedure recommended by Microsoft;
3) Remove the old Windows 2003 R2 domain controller from the forest.
During all the procedure, their current Windows Server 2008 domain controller will remain active and functional. At the end of the procedure, the domain will then be updated to a Windows Server 2008 structure, from the actual 2003.
I can't see any problem in this procedure: at least one domain controller will always remain active so the SAP users <sid>adm and SAPService<SID> will be able to authenticate on the domain with no interruptions. Also the SAP hosts won't change name, FQDN, IP address or configuration.
But I'm not a Microsoft AD expert and this procedure can't be tested beforehand, because all the SAP systems belong to the same domain obviously.
I've searched through the SAP knowledge base and I can't find any note or document that is relevant to this activity.
I've also opened a ticket to SAP, but they basically replied that the Active Directory is a matter for the Microsoft consultants, not SAP. They also recommended I post my question on the forum so here I am.
So I'd like to ask you if you foresee any problems with this procedure, and if you can recommend preparation activities or any other kind of precautions.
Thanks, kind regards.

Hi Marcello,
I can tell you that the Network Operations group at my organization have upgraded the domain controllers a few times (Windows 2000 -> Windows 2003, then Windows 2003 -> Windows 2012), and other than some warning about potential disruptions during the maintenance window, they didn't otherwise even include the SAP Basis group in the discussion! So, it happened, we did nothing special for SAP to prepare (nor afterwards), and basically we didn't even notice. It made no difference to SAP. Other aspects of network/domain functionality, especially our Exchange email server, experienced more disruption than SAP did.
So, in conclusion, I think that your IT team can proceed, and other than keeping an eye on things and testing basic things, like network communication, afterwards, there isn't much you need to do. Your main concern is that there always be a functioning domain controller (and DNS server). Do they have a rollback plan if things go south for them?
Regards,
Matt

Hi Nithi,
1 ) MDM has Coding or do we have only navigation.
2 ) Is programming knowledge is essential for MDM.
3 ) How is the future for MDM.
1. MDM has no coding in it. However, we can use ABAP or Java API's etc, for additonal functionalites. But for MDM, no coding is required.
2. MDM is basically a configuration based tool. There is a lot of modeling which is done according to the requirement.We have 4 GUis' namely Console, Import Manager,Data manager and Syndicator. We can get them installed and access the MDM server via them.
3. MDM is a hot cake in the market right now as companies are thinking of moving into ESOA and for that MDM will be the base of it as you need to have clean Master data to achieve ESOA.

Re: ABAP knowledge in SAP BW

Hi guys & girls,
Am trying to try apply for jobs..but before, am in preparation stage and am stuck at ABAP. Since most of the offers are asking for ABAP knowledge..so being a BW'er i beg for ur advise on the following-
1.) What topics should i be covering in ABAP which will be useful for me in real time?
2.) COuld somebody list out the topics please?
3.) And to what extent and where do u use ABAP?
Regards
Sri

Hello Sri,
ABAP knowledge is required in BW
1. in order to enhance the SAP's standart extraction methods. So you need to know how to make changes in structures and already developed abap programmes.
2. You can change the content of any field while you are laoding data to infoproviders. Especially in start routines, transfer rules and update rules. So you need to know how to change a content of a field in abap based on an algorithm.
3. In Bex queries also you can change a content of a field by using special type of variables.
Finally also you need to know how to you functions in ABAP, because most of ready to use functions are available in SAP Abap dictionary.
Hope helpful for you,
Sarhan.

Zed E-Commerce and WebCRM(formerly SAP Web tools) now PA-DSS validated

zedSuite is pleased to announce the availability of zed E-Commerce and WebCRM 7.5
This release is a milestone in our product suite and further emphasizes our dedication to enabling owners of SAP Business One to sell and market their products online.
This release is all about PA-DSS 2.0 validation. Working with Coalfire Systems, we began development in early August updating the checkout functionality, logging, user authentication and upgrade procedures to comply with PA-DSS requirements. More specifically we made the following changes;
- Credit card number and CCV are no longer stored in the database at all. This was a requirement of the PA-DSS itself and a decision that was not made lightly.
- Wallet functionality has been removed
- Private keys are no longer used for encryption
- The password UDF in B1 for users is no longer used
- Only the initial password for a business partner contact can be set in B1. After the bp contact is added to ecommerce, the password can only be set in the Admin, by the user, or using the Reset User tool.
- Implemented session timeouts
- Much more
