IND780 Intergration with SAP MII

Hi Experts,
Greetings.
previously,I have done integration with MES system but i have a new requirement to Integrate Mettler Toledo IND 780 with Ethernet/IP communication.
I have visited the plant and this is the process they follow.
They have connected the Terminal to a PC and they send orders to the Terminal by uploading the excel file to a batch program and retrieving data to excel file by connecting to terminal.
I have gone through the blogs have know that Mettler Toledo IND780 uses SQL CE database to store data.
Can SAP MII directly connect to SQL CE database which is embedded in Mettler Toledo IND780 for data querying ?
Please guide me
Appreciate your help
Goutham

Hi Goutham,
According to the documentation available from Mettler Toldedo, the option to implement Ethernet/IP also includes the option to implement Modbus TCP. You can use Modbus TCP with an OPC Server that provides a Modbus TCP driver (Kepware or MatrikonOPC both have this). SAP Plant Connectivity (PCo), and SAP MII are the SAP components needed to integrate the scale and the OPC Server to SAP MES or ERP systems.
Another option would be to implement the communications via the scale Serial Port if present. This would require an external Hardware Serial-Ethernet server to put the serial port on the plant network, and then PCo and MII for the SAP integration components. there is an internal Ethernet port on the IND780 main board, but I did not investigate whether you can communicate with the scale using the same protocols as the serial port, If this is possible, then the Hardware Serial-Ethernet server is not required.
Either solution will require detailed knowledge of the communication protocols to determine the OPC Server, PCo and MII configuration, and MII transaction requirements, to implement the interface.
I would recommend against trying to directly attach to the SQL CE database on the scale.

Hi Satish, I moved your thread to the "SAP Business One" Forum since it does better fit there (now that we have it on SDN).

Hi Satish,
If you have any issue regarding the addon outlook toolbar, check <a href="https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=801964">this note</a>.

Amazon Intergration with SAP.

Hello Colleagues,
We have a customer here in China and they requested information weather it is possible to use Amazon for web commerce.
Infinitus (China) Company Ltd (http://www.infinitus.my)
HEALTH CARE Products (vitamins/Soy/Yin and Yang Essence etc)
Skin Care Products
Personal Care Products
Home Care Products
They sell products like the ones listed above and they want to sell their products using a 3rd party web-site (which is well known) such as Amazon. They then want to use SAP as a backend system to perform order creation/delivery/shipping. They do not want to implement SAP E-Commerce B2C and build their own web-site as they believe that it would be too small and not reach the market they want to penetrate.
Is this even possible? If not, is it possible to develop an enhancement?
Any information would be greatly appriciated.
Regards, Peter O'Neill

We have interfaced with several of our customers web sites and automatically create customer sales orders, purchase orders and other documents. No e-commerce solution is necessary. If you would like to discuss this please contact me

CRM ABAP development and interaction with SAP R/3

Hi Experts,
I am an ABAPer and have close to 3 years of development experience in ABAP, now i was trying to understand how exactly a CRM system is intergrated with SAP R/3 . Below are few of the basic question i have
1. How does R/3 interact with CRM, searching in the forum i just got to know its through RFC . Can anyone give me specific technical details like how R/3 and CRM interact in a real time scenario .
2. Ca any one also give me an real time development example that was done in CRM to interact with SAP R/3 and explain me the basic steps involved in it, this might give me clear picture of how developments happen in CRM and also how CRM and SAP interacts with each other .
Your quick response would be greatly appreciated .
Regard's
Sudheer V

with repect to programming , it is similar to R/3 ABAP devlopment . It all depends on scenarios:
1) For eaxmple we use BADI's to put some extra validations / additional data when you are creation order
2) unlike R/3 where we use SAP GUI trnsactions for creating orders, in CRM we have IC web client techonolgy where we can create orders through web.This is based on BSP technology. In order to add additinal fields on the screen for we use easy enhancment workbench tool(EEWB).this is something new in CRM when compared to R/3.

Seimens HMI Integration with SAP MII

Dear MII Experts,
We are trying to integrate shop floor systems with SAP MII for discrete manufacturing industry.
I came across the client has 70+ machines in the plant .the vendor is "DMG"
Seimens HMI is installed on each machine .
What are the possible ways here to connect to PLC from MII
I am very new to this integration part .
Can MII directly connect to Seimens HMI .
I am very new to this area , client is ready to pay extra cost for any extra interfaces .
Please suggest me the architecture to follow .
Please give me a detailed explanation here , please correct me if I my explanation is wrong here
Please reply me for any other clarification

Hi Eswaraiah,
To access the PLC data in MII, you would need couple of things more.
1. OPC Server where the PLC stores the data.
2. PCo (SAP Plant Connectivity) that can read the data from OPC Server and send the data to MII for manipulation.
From PCo MII can read the data and you can then perform your business logic. Also, PCo has built-in notification settings which can trigger MII's transactions based upon some conditions.
So I believe, your landscape would look like
Siemens HMI --> OPC Server -> PCo --> MII
Check these out...

Hi,
re-check if the 7.4 system is correctly registered in the solman SLD system.
Re-check LMDB definition for your 7.4 as JAVA system. you have to manually created the Product system. Ensure all the Component and definitions are correct.
Also do a verrification run within the LMDB. This will confirm whether all the information is correctly defined.
Please note - SLD -> LMDB -> SMSY.
So, if the first 2 don't have the correct information, you wont have much joy with smsy.

SAP BCM intergration with SMS

1. Is there any prerequisites for SMS server to intergrate with SAP BCM? We have only SMS Server supports java/.net based interface here.
As I know, SAPConnector supports SMS SMTP Server. How about BCM? Will a middle ware needed to support ICI?
2. SAP BCM supports standard CAD of SAP Interaction center, right?
Thanks for your click and any advices,

Integrating third party recruitment with SAP

Hi folks,
I had a question regarding intergrating the third party system with SAP HR masterdata. I am basically looking at transferring the applicant data from the Recruiting (third party tool ) system into SAP HR Masterdata. I found using the feature PAPLI something like integration could be done. I do not know how ???
Right now, at the click of button something like Data transfer (entering the applicant id) can be manually imported into SAP Masterdata from the SAP recruiting module on the same system.
Can such a process be achieived using a third party tool? Is direct transfer process from the thrid party tool into SAP Employee Masterdata possible? Is the feature PAPLI (found from IMG) something like this can be accomplished?
The version we are using is SAP 4.6C
Any thoughts or leads in this area will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
SK

I am not sure of any standard integration programs specific to recruitment, but through customization we can integrate third party rectt systems like People click, HRP etc.
Develop inbound programs with ALE-IDOC system to transfer the data to Rectt tables.
The switch will control activation of integration between the systems.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

Integrating PLC's using SAP XI

Hello everyone,
Please suggest me how to integrate PLC's using SAP XI.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Nawale

Hi Rahul,
to communicate with plc we used socket connection.
We used standard java sun API.
The only thing to consider is that PLC (in my case) accept string in this format:
STX YOURSTRING ETX
where STX is the character 'start of string' and ETX is the character 'end of string', see http://www.asciitable.com.
Here my method to send the string to the socket server:
     private boolean postToSocket(String strHostName, int intPort, String strPacket) throws UnknownHostException, IOException
          boolean bolResult = false;
          //this character meaning "start of text"
          char ch_start = ' ';
          //this character meaning "end of text"
          char ch_end = ' ';
          // (1) create a new socket
          Socket sock = new Socket(strHostName, intPort);
          if (!sock.isConnected())
               return bolResult;
          // (2) retrieve an OutputStreamWriter for the socket
          OutputStream os = sock.getOutputStream();
          if (os == null)
               return bolResult;
          PrintWriter opwChannel = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os));
          // (3) send the packet
          //the packet is build using "start of text" + STRING + "end of text"
          strPacket = ch_start + strPacket + ch_end;
          opwChannel.print(strPacket);
          if (opwChannel.checkError())
               bolResult = false;
          else
               bolResult = true;
          // (4) close the socket
          opwChannel.close();
          sock.close();
          return bolResult;
     }// end postToSocket
To build the adapter i followed the sap documentation and the source and the api present in the sample adapter.
You can get the sap sample adapter from the adapter engine of you xi box (sample_ra.sda)
Here some usefull documents:
Example Adapter and Example Module
Adapter and Module Development
Session ID: XI301 - Development of Adapters for the SAP XI Adapter Framework
Hope this help
