Ajaykumar,
You have BI and BO installed and running on good environment,Correct??
Only you need SAP Integration Kit installed.
After installing successfully.
Create master BEx query. Go to Properties -->> Extended tab -- Allow external access to OLAP (Incase of BW3.x)
Create master BEx query. Go to Properties -->> Advanced tab -- Allow external access OLAP (BI7.0)
Now go to Universe Designer:
-->> Name Universe and Click on Connection -- New
-->> Connection parameter dailog box -- It prompt for many options like:
Authentication Mode:User/Pass or BO mappings or SSO
User Name:
Password:
Language:EN
Application Server: <SAP BI system details--IP address>
System ID:<SAP BI ID>
System No:<SAP BI NO>
Logon Group:(greyed out)
Message Server:(greyed out)
-- Click on Next
-- Here, you can see all OLAP cubes ($Infocubes) and Folders for BEx query based/Multiproviders.
-- Select the required one.
-- Click Next -- Next -- FINISH
OK
Now you can see lict of *Classes and Objects* and not Universe structure as we are on SAP BI system.
(In Universe Designer window)
Go to -- File -->> Export -- (Select any folder, where you have access)
Now, *logon to Infoview*:
-- Document list
-- New-->> New Web Intelligence Document
It will list out all Universe those are exist in repository.
Choose the exported one.
Now you are in *Web Intelligence Report panel*.
-- Drag any objects like Dimension/Detail or Measure to Result Objects pane (to see them in Report)
or
Drag them to Query Filters section to restrict the data.
--Click on Run Query
-- Now Report you can see.
If you want to create Report 2:
Just Right click on Report1 and say Duplicate or New Report.
Hope I cleared all your doubts.
Thank You!!

Best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver

Hi All,
I'm totally new to SAP Netweaver but I have a task to integrate our system with SAP ECC (R/3). We are using SAP Netweaver 6.4. The goal of integration is to provide for user list of available modules (Sales and Distribution, Human Resource, Payroll, etc) and when user selected for example Payroll we need to display list of available BAPIs. In general weare able to create Enterprise Web Service for some BAPI and consume it. But the problem is that everytime when administrator changed BAPI process (for example added new field to Business Object) we need to regenerate wsdl and change our client application. Does Netweaver provide some Web Service which can retrieve list of applications, list of BAPI processes and can retrieve meta data of some BAPI? Something like Partner Web Service interface?
We are looking for best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver. We are trying to develop something like adapter which will be able to pull data into SAP ECC system is there any generic way to develop this adapter?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yura.

Hi Yura !!
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. Using SAP Netweaver XI/PI, although it adds value to the webservice scenario exposing BAPI functionality, it also needs to maintain a refreshed version of the BAPI definition in its repository. Depeding the complexity of the change in the BAPI structure, maybe PI may allow you to continue working without changes.
Maybe a good practice is not to make too much changes to a production BAPI, instead make a review in development environment, and once it is stable, use it in production. Other good practice is to keep older versions of BAPIs and add the changed ones as new versions to have back-compatibility

Matias.

Oracle Meter Data Management Integration with SAP ISU

Hello Everyone,
I am aware of the fact that Oracle has released a Media pack for the subject integration as discussed here and that media pack works only for SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 5 with ISU_AMI_2.
We have got OU MDM Release 2.1 Media Pack v4 and SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 4 with ISU_AMI_1 and hence Adapter in MDM won't help to achieve integration with SAP as our SAP EHP is lower than what is required for the MDM adapter. We have got SAP PI which would help the SAP End in the integration.
What are the possible work-around(s) to achieve the integration between Oracle MDM and SAP ISU without using the Media Pack/Adapter?
How does MDM exposes its services (inbound/outbound) to be consumed/triggered by External systems (i.e. SAP ISU)?
List of Services (inbound/outbound) exposed by Oracle MDM for integration?
Your time and help is much appreciated.

When is Oracle Adapter for SAP 10.1.2.0.2 released?

Hi,
I'm desperately waiting for the release of the Oracle Adapter for SAP
10.1.2.0.2. It is stated as Projected on the Download site.
I do still have serious problems with bug 2574376. This bug was fixed already
in July 2004. In that bug is stated that it is fixed in 10.1.2.
I am using the workaround to kill the process. But when I kill the process while the
adapter is processing data for update in SAP, I am losing that data. So the
update does not take place in SAP and the data is not in the persistence
anymore.
So please release this version!
Regards,
Aard-Jan

Yes, but not for HPUX jet. And that is what I need.
Via Metalink I heard that it will be available around august.

MM Configuration for integration with SAP SNC

Hi,
I need to make MM configuration required to support PO collaboration and SMI process integrating with SAP SNC.
ANy kind of information would be very much helpdull
Thanks
Vikas

Hi Vikas,
MM configuration for PO collaboration is depend upon the your requirements. e.g. You want to upload the confirmations send by the supplier from SNC web UI to your R/3 system you have to use confirmation control key while creating PO in R/3 and make corresponding supplier confirmation control either optional or mandatory in SNC configuration. Default provided by SAP is optional.
Remember supplier can create confirmations only if ther either optional or mandatory.

SAP Sourcing 7.0 integration with SAP ERP - issue with SAP PI

Hi All,
We are integrating SAP Sourcing 7.0 with SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP PI 7.1 in middle. So the Sourcing will talk to PI and this intern will talk to ERP. Sourcing is on oracle 11g where as PI and ERP are on SQL 2008. All these 3 are on windows 2003 x64.
We are following the "Configuration Guide Integration of SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing 7.0" provided by SAP.
We have successfully configured Sourcing and PI systems as pe the document. In Sourcing, by using background jobs we are able to successfully generate files in "export" folder which is part of FTP directory.
However the issue is with PI, we configured the "configuration scenerio" in Integration builder and point all channels to the FTP folder in Sourcing. But PI is not picking up these files.
Is there any way to trigger this in PI system. Or do we need to do anything in sourcing itself.
Regards,
Siva.

Hello Siva,
I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
Let's see what other experts suggest.
Thanks,
Siva Kumar

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...
Regards,
Jitesh Talreja

Crytal Integration with SAP BW

Need help.
I have read some links at SDN, like Getting started link on BO and also [http://www.businessobjects.com/product/packages/] to understand do we have to buy any additional licenses to use Crytal reports with my SAP BI 70?
1) We already own Crystal Enterprise. We are using for Non SAP Data
2) I remember to see SAP's integration kit in BW 3.5 and toolset to allow creating Crystal Reports on BW Queries. Also remember as SAP Customer we have access to create 10 queries even when we do not have Crystal License.
3) Since we have Crystal Enterprise already, do we need to buy additional Licenses for using it for SAP BW.
My question is limited to Crytal because SAP had some content development relationship with Crystal before.
BusinessObjects XI Integration Kit for SAP wiill certainly will allow it but is it really needed for Crystal Reports?
Can some one clarify?

hi pankaj,
Integration of SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0
Use
You can integrate a number of objects and applications of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 5.0.
SAP EP 5.0 includes the following objects:
Applications are designated as Services in the Enterprise Portal.
With the integration of roles, the role migration from all services automatically creates External Services, as long as the services have not been saved in the BEx Web Application Designer as iViews. External services are displayed in the portal as applications that fill an entire page.
iViews are services that encompass an entire page in the portal. A portal page can consist of several iViews from different systems and sources (for example, the Web).
iView files are files with the ending .ivu that include a description of the iView in XML. You can import IView files without direct role migration into the portal.
Prerequisites
You have made the necessary settings in SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0. You can find more information under Making Settings for SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0.
Features
You can use the following BW services in the SAP Enterprise Portal 5.0:
·        BEx Web application
·        BEx Web Application As an iView
·        BEx Web application as an iView file
·        BW query
·        BW workbook
·        Crystal Report
The following options are available for integration:
·        BW services integration using roles with the help of role migration
For more information, see Integration Using Roles.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer
For more information, see Integration Using iViews.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer
For more information, see Integration Using iViews.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using Create as External Service in the Portal
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP5.0 SP6 ® Administration Guide ® iViews ® Java iViews ® Creating Java iViews ® Creating Java iViews for BEx Web Applications.
·        Integration of BW services using the iView Wizard in the portal
For more information, see Integrating BW Services Using the iView Wizard .
The integration of BW contents into the Enterprise Portal ideally takes place using Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser. In some circumstances, you can also integrate other BW components, such as the Administrator Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the Portal. For more information, see Integration of BW Components into the Portal.
Integration Using Roles
Use
You can save all of the BW services supported by the Portal - except for the iView files in the BW system. By using role migration you can integrate these BW services quickly and easily into the portal.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP5.0 SP6 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Roles and SAP Systems ® Migration of SAP Roles to the Enterprise Portal ® Using Migrated Services to Roles and Worksets.
Features
The migration logs are usually stored under ...irj
esourcesSAPMigration.
The location of the irj directories is dependent on the J2EE Server.
Checking Migration:
You can check the migration via Content Admin ® Roles. You can use Preview to execute the migrated services both in the View Areaand in the Edit Area. If you have assigned a role to a user, you can check the total role completely.
Integration Using iViews
Use
The integration of the BW system and the portal with iViews is possible by using the role migration and the import of iView files. iViews are structured in the portal in channels.
Features
Role migration
With role migration, the iViews contained in the BW role are created in the iView server, where a separate channel is created for each role migrated from the BW system. The channel receives the name of the migrated BW role automatically from the system.
You can view the migrated iViews in the portal in the iView editor by using Content-Admin ® iViews. Select the name of the channel there.
If the iViews already exist in the portal, they are neither deleted nor overwritten. You can remove the iViews manually by using Edit ® Delete.
Import of iView files
BW iViews are in the portal Java iViews.
       1.      Therefore, choose the category Java iViews before the import.
       2.      In the iView editor under Content-Admin ® iViews, choose the Import function.
iViews are currently only supported in one language (English).If the English language is not maintained for an iView, then a technical name is created from the logical system and from the BW template ID.
You can change the texts for iViews using Content Admin ® iViews. Select an iView and choose Edit.
In addition, note that with BEx Web applications under Content Admin ® iViews ® Edit on the Load tab page, the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server has to be activated.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
For the display of iViews in the portal, the assignment of iViews to the portal pages and their assignment to roles is necessary.
Assigning iViews to pages
       1.      Under Content-Admin ® Pages, choose the New function to create new pages in the portal.
       2.      Under the Content tab page, select the iViews you want.
If necessary, you need to change the Display selection to All or Not Selected to select new iViews.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Pages ® Defining the Page Content (Content tab).
Assigning pages to roles
       1.      Before a page is able to be viewed by a user, you have to assign it to a role.
       2.      Under Content-Admin ® Roles, select a role for editing and choose Edit.
       3.      Under View Area ® Show, select the Pages entry.
       4.      Select a page and choose Add to add it to a role.
If necessary, select the file as Is Entry Point, so that the page is then able to be viewed.
The option Mark first-level folders as entry point means that the file is valid on the highest level in the role as the point of entry. This selection causes assigned users to this role to receive this file, displayed in the initial navigation bar.
You can also restrict this setting subsequently with the help of Content Admin ® Roles for the specific file.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Role Maintenance ® Creating Roles and Assigning Contents ® Assignment of Content Objects to Roles.
Assigning roles
Afterwards, you have to assign the particular role to the user.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® User Management ® Assignment of Users and Groups to Roles.
Check
To check iViews in the portal according to the assignments described above, you need to call up the portal again.
Calling up the Enterprise Portal is possible by using the URL http:///sapportal.
See also:
You can find additional information about Roles and Role Migration in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Roles.

Integrating BW Services Using the iView Wizard
Use
In addition to the integration of iViews using role migration, you can also use the iView wizard in the portal to integrate iViews into the portal.
Procedure
Call up the iView wizard using Content-Admin ® iViews.
As the type, choose Java.
Choose New iView.
On the Info tab page, specify a Unique Name and an iView Title.
On the Load tab page, choose the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server.
On the Java tab page, choose BW Web Application as the application type.
Choose Next.
Select the BW system from the dropdown box.
Specify the BW Query String.
Choose Finish.
Choose Add.
The BW Query String is the part of the BEx Web application URL that is found after the question mark, for example, ?cmd=ldoc&template=0Query_template.
You obtain the query string.
in the BEx Web application designer:
Choose Web Template ® Open to open the Web template for the BEx Web application you want.
Select the Web template from your history, your favorites, or your rolls by double clicking on it.
In the Web application designer, choose Publish ® Copy URL in Clipboard.
in the Web application executed on the Web
Note that the Web application has to be in its initial status. That means that you have not yet navigated there, but rather that you only displayed the Web application on the Web.
In the context menu for Internet Explorer, choose Properties.
Select the Address (URL) and choose Copy in the context menu.
You now have the URL on the clipboard and can then use the query string for entry in the iView wizard.
Note that you have to specify the correct stylesheet when creating iViews manually.
Choose under Content-Admin ® iViews next to the Edit iView.
On the Java tab page, select the BIReports30 stylesheet under Look and Feel Theme Part for BW Reports.
Using System Configuration ® Styles, you can edit stylesheets that each user can then select themselves using Personalize: Portal.
The style editor also contains entries for BEx Web applications under Elements ® Complex Elements.
The modified stylesheets are transferred automatically to the BW system so that the BEx Web Applications are suitably displayed in the stylesheet for the portal.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
Result
You have now integrated a Web application as an iView into the portal. Before you can display the iView in the portal, you have to assign the iView to a page. The page has to be assigned to your role. See also Integrating Using iViews.
Integration of BW Components into the Portal
Use
The integration of BW contents into the Enterprise Portal ideally takes place using Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser. In some circumstances, you can also integrate other BW components, such as the Administrator Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the Portal.
Features
Calling the Administrator Workbench
The Administrator Workbench is a comprehensive SAP transaction that functions only in connection with a locally-installed SAP GUI for Windows. With a SAP GUI for Windows 6.20, you do not have to log on again if you want to display SAP GUI for Windows transactions on the Web (single sign-on is supported).
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RSA1.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Analyzer
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is an Excel add-in with extensive OLAP functionality in connection with a BW system. In order to use the BEx Analyzer, you have to have the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend installed locally. For technical reasons, the BEx Analyzer opens in a separate window. You do not have to log on again because single sign-on is supported. A SAP GUI for Windows appears in the Enterprise Portal window in the work area.
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMX.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling BW Workbooks
BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded queries. BW workbooks need the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend.
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. BW workbooks are suitable for Windows with Excel.
We recommend that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that also run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the Web application context menu as an alternative to a local installation of the BW Frontend if you need to use the functions of Excel. See Functions of the Context Menu and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
SAP role migration automatically generates external services that point to BW workbooks. HERE AND CHECK PATHS
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMXP.
Choose Finish to save the external service.
You then have to add the following parameters using Edit since you cannot enter these using the wizard.
The parameter Additional Dynpro Parameters name-value-pairs (n1=v1;n2=v2;... optional allows the workbook ID to be specified (for example WBID=CN24XRCKJ8HDDIZ3CCUTGPF1A).
Under Process first screen automatically?, enter the value True.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Web Application Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Web Application Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Web Application Designer from the Windows start menu.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbpwpub.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Query Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Query Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Query Designer from the Windows start menu.
As an alternative to the BEx Query Designer, in a Web environment such as the Enterprise Portal, you can use the BEx Ad-hoc Query Designer to create or change queries. You can insert the Ad-hoc Query Designer into a Web application and integrate it using the role migration, for example, or as an iView into the Enterprise Portal. For more information, see Functions of the Ad-hoc Query Designer.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbrlog.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Browser
The BEx Browser behaves like the BEx Web Application Designer or the BEx Query Designer.
There is little point in using the BW-specific BEx Browser in a company-wide Enterprise Portal because the basic functionality of the BEx Browser (calling reports) is covered in the Enterprise Portal.

Use of BW Objects in the Enterprise Portal
For the end user, there are no significant differences in the integration between SAP BW and SAP EP as regards the various release combinations. The updates and changes in SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 have no effect on the use of BW objects in the portal. You can find more information on the changes under Differences between SAP EP 5.0 and SAP EP 6.0.
Publishing BW Objects to the Enterprise Portal
There are significant differences in publishing of BEx Web applications in SAP EP 6.0 with SAP BW 3.5 in comparison to integration between SAP BW 2.x/3.x - SAP EP 5.0. Publishing in SAP BW 3.5 is done using the BEx Web Application Designer, BEx Query Designer or the BEx Broadcaster.
In SAP EP 5.0, the SAP BW system (or the SAP BW systems) is maintained in the system landscape, through which a call of BEx Web applications is possible at runtime. In SAP BW 2.x/3.x systems, the SAP Enterprise Portal (or SAP Enterprise Portals) are not maintained. Thus a BW system only has a one-sided connected to a portal. For this reason, the inclusion of BW content must also be done in a separate step in the portal.
In SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW system is also maintained in the system landscape. In addition, one or more SAP Enterprise Portals 6.0 can be entered in the SAP BW 3.5 system. Through deployment of Java components of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW 3.5 System can access and display contents of the portal. In the BEx Application Designer, assigned portal roles, content from the Portal Content Catalog, and documents and folders from Knowledge Management are displayed in the open and save dialogs. During save, iViews or documents can be created directly from the BEx Web Application Designer or BEx Query Designer without having to take separate steps in the portal. Using Information Broadcasting, documents and links can be generated in Knowledge Management. These documents and links can be visualized using the BEx Portfolio.
You can find more information on integration options under Integration of SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 6.0.

CAD integration with sap

could any CAD integration experts give me some integration capability documents? i'm new to this area, just want to know the integration points between the cad and sap...for example: I've read some material, it saids that when the CAD design is near to complete, the material used in CAD will be transferred to SAPu2026
The question is: how the CAD material is integrated with SAP material master data? is this two different set of material master data? thanks in advance!

Hi,
It is not required to use interface only when the design is completed in CAD..these interfaces are bulit in such a way it will support complete CAD document life cycle ...

SAP R/3 integration with (Manual) Third-party App

Hi All
I am working on a scenario in which Third Party application has functionality which actually refines & correct the data upto the accuracy of 99%. So for this end-user needs to enter bit of information on their front-end then application will return the data on the basis of that information.
Now the problem has different parts -->
*) If I choose that SAP R/3 will initiate the ( Synchronous ) process then ABAPers raised the concern that they will not be able to display the response data on correct SAP screen also how to actually access the front-end of Third party.
Third-Party is ready to replace the Front-end with the web-service but then end-user will not be having the functionlity to select different options which is the strong part of Third-party application & also client is not agree to that.
Do you think I should use BPM in above solution with correlation on some field to identify the SAP screen.
*) If I choose Third Party application to initiate the ( Asynchronous ) process then again ABAPers raised the concern that how to display it on the correct SAP screen & how they know that data is coming at this point of time & they need to display it. Also Third Party said in this case they don't have expertise to customize their Front-end application & which will lead to additional cost to hire other developers.
Now can you suggest some good solutions for this kind of scenario in which an application needs the Manual intervention & needs to be integrated with SAP R/3. Also suggest from which direction I should initiate the process.
Thanks

Matias
<<<< with front-end do you refer to SAP R/3 ?
No Matias with Front-End I meant Third Party is providing the web-page where end-user can enter the details & those will be refined & corrected by the Third-Party Application.
<<<<< Which ways has the Third-Party app to connect with (file, database, jms, etc.).
Third-Party App is providing Java Classes & Web-Services for integration but we don't want to access them directly, first of all we would like to invoke/access the Front-end application.
<<<< What is the purpose of this third-party app ? just to receive data, validate it and return it once it is corrected ?
Actually in this Front-end user can enter the data on given fields & data will be keep on refining while he is entering the more information into that given field. For e.g if the field says "City" & user enters "DE", a drop-down will come with all the cities in the world starting with "DE" like Delhi, Denmark etc.Once all the fields are populated with correct data user will click on "Submit" button which will send the data to SAP R/3 ( which we wish to do ).
Now in this case when user will click on Submit button ( means Third-party will initiate the process ) & data will be send to XI using ( for e.g ) HTTP sender then ABAPer's raised concern that how they will be able to show it in the right screen without using proper thread ID.
Pls. let me know in case you require any further information. My problem is this how to relate the Third-Party data with correct screen of SAP.
Thanks

MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

21/11
Gurus,
I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
Thanks again.
Dear All,
On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
Thanks for your help and insights about this.
Brice.

Hi Chris,
    Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
    I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
    When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
   For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
   then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
   However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
   no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
   when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
   I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
   SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
   My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
   core source code is as:
   clear itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER = lv_datas
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      input_length = lv_length
      mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    IMPORTING
      text_buffer = lv_datas_string
      output_length = lv_data_len
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
    Can you give me some advice?
Best Regards,
Derek
