Product catalog MDM ISA

Hi,
Can any one has idea, how to replicate product catalog directly to url of ISA CRM. i think we can do it by using JAVA API . but could you please tell me the steps involved involved in it.
and related to this question if CRM product replication is active at the same time. Is product catalogs from MDM as well as CRM will be placed in ISA.
thanks,
sasi

Hello,
I wish the answer was simple and I get all the 10 points. But, I have lot more to add than just giving a report program name.
Usually the CRM E-Commerce accesses the MDM product catalog as an external catalog. It is not customary to export the Catalog content from SRM-MDM to CRM-ISA. Instead the MDM catalog is Web Enabled for use as an external catalog by CRM-ISA. In the SRM system, the report program
/CCM/PE_START_REG_PUBLICATION
can be used to publish the catalog. Usually, this is scheduled as a background job to run periodically to publish the catalog.
The E-Commerce (CRM-ISA) has Open Catalog Interface (OCI) hooks available to do this. But this needs to be configured in the XCM to access such external catalogs.
Please read the contents in this link for a overview idea of [External Catalog Integration (via OCI)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/2f/86653fac7ab21ae10000000a114084/content.htm]
Also, start from [Service Market Place - SRM|http://service.sap.com/srm] and goto SRM-MDM Catalog to know more about the catalog and see the Export process for other possibilities.

Image server and images in the product catalog(CRM ISA)

Dear Gurus,
I am using CRM ISA 5.0 R/3 version. My products in the product catalog has got images. I have assigned the image's to the products in the R/3 product catalog(WWM2)
In the b2b XCM for the webcatalog node, I need to specify the imageserver url. Can you please tell me what goes here. How do I find out what is my image server in my landscape. Please advice me how do I get the images in my ISA product catalog.
Thanks!
Vivek.

Hi Vivek,
In general image server is the web server. You need to talk to your network administrator to identify and setup the web server. Pass on the below document to your administrator to setup the publishing directories on the web server:

LSMW AND UPLOADING PRODUCT TO PRODUCT CATALOG IN ISA

Hello,
1. How can I load product from Product Master to Product catalog ( internet sales) by using LSMW?
2. How can I create catalog area and subarea automatically by using LSMW

With the preface that this is from working with CRM4 and I have no information on if this has changed in CRM2007...If someone knows if this has changed, please post.
In CRM4, you can not use an LSMW to create a PCAT or add items to it. If you use the Automated catalog area instead of Both or Manual, you may be able to find a satisfactory result, but our data was so dis-organized we had to go with the Both option.
That said, if you are going to add images to the catalog, rather than the product master, you can use the ABAP Program (SE38) COM_PCAT_MASS_DOC_IMPORT to automate the loading of the images/documents to the catalog. Doing this allows you to assign the Products to the Categories automatically as you're uploading the images at the same time.
However, if you've already assigned the images to the Product Master, you'll have images in both areas.
Again, this is for CRM4, I do not know if it's the same in CRM2007, but would be very interested to hear if it's changed so that I may plan accordingly for our upgrade.

PDF document in the ISA product catalog

Hi all,
Anyone who knows how to display PDF documents in the ISA product catalog?
In the document "Internet Sales in a B2B Scenario Presentation" there's an indication of that you can show, amongst others, PDF documents in the detailed screen for an item. We have an R3/ISA 4.0 B2B scenario.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Ulrika Enskog

Hi, and thanks for the answer!
This was what I thought I had to do.
It turns out that there actually is an SAP note on this issue - 608422 - which deals with adding additional attachments to catalog items in ISA R/3. And in SAP note 610393 they have provided example java and jsp files for doing this.
Best regards,

ISA Product Catalog Images Problem

Hi,
I am having problems displaying the images in the ISA B2b product catalog. I have already set the image in CRM and replicated the product catalog. But the images still wont display in the product catalog. It displays an x inside a box. And the path does not exist.
Please help. Is there a guide that you can send me on how to do this? Please send it to [email protected] Or please just give suggestions on how to do it.
Thanks a lot!
April

Images don't display in B2B using the port. You have to view via CRMWEB if you want to see the images.

http://crmweb/Catalog/44/44A86A434425000B02000000C0A8656E.jpg
Also, it's better to ask a new question rather than bump an old unanswered one as you can not award points to someone elses question (I think)

Image Publishing to ISA for Product catalog

Hi Guys,
I have to attach an image to each product and publish it to ISA using TREX.
I have created products and product catalog, I have published all products to ISA application also, But i dont know how to do the same with image.
Can someone tell me the required steps that needs to follow up.
Thanks.
Greetings.
Regards,
Manoj Tiwari

Hello Manoj Tiwari,
Regarding the distribution of the product catalog, there are 2 parts :
- The product catalog (structure, texts, ...) is replicated to the index server. The settings for replication are done via SRMO.
- The catalog may also contain multimedia objects such as images, sound files... Those data are replicated to a specific folder of the web server. To replicate and publish these datas, you must define HTTP and FTP settings.
following transactions are used for replication / publication :
- initial replication : comm_pcat_ims_init
- update replication : comm_pcat_ims_upda
report com_pcat_imsd_cp_show gives you all changes taken into account in update replication
- single replication : comm_pcat_ims_single
replication logs are found in transaction SLG1.
Pay attention to the fact that the documents are language dependant.

Frédéric

Changing ISA Product Catalog VIEW ITEMS Dynamically - Read COMM_PCAT_VITM

Hi,
I need to change the ISA Product Catalog Items Dynamically. Depending on certain criteria, after the user logs into the ISA, the items in a User VIEW needs to be filtered.
I found that the View Items are stored in table COMM_PCAT_VITM. Also after Debugging ISA, I found that the following FUnction Module is used to read the View details : COM_PCAT_VIEW_GETDETAIL_O
However I did not find which FM is used to read the VIew ITEMS .. that is Table COMM_PCAT_VITM.
If I can find the FM, I can enhance this FM to filter the Items Dynamically...
Second Question is ...whats the GUID field in the Table COMM_PCAT_VITM ?
Thanks

Hello WDA Portal,
In the ISA, the catalog search and display list are done through RFC calls to TREX directly. Only the attribute names and product detail are read from theCRM system. So, if you are trying to manipulate the Catalog search and results, you have to do it in the Java layer only.
You have to extend / modify the web flow and work with the following classes.
<li>Catalog Business Object,
<li>WebCatInfo,
<li>CatalogFilterFactory,
<li>IFilter,
<li>WebCatItemList,
<li>IQueryStatement,
<li>IQuery
 
The enhancement is not for the faint hearted. You must have a development environment setup and you must have good developers with you to do this type of stuff.

Surya,
Can you please throw some light on this aproach. If I store the PDF in the document management system and to access this if I write a funciton module, what are the input parameters that I should pass to this funciton module and is the FM going to return me the complete PDF as an object. If you have code snippet for this approach can you please share it with me.

Table where documents are linked to materials in product catalogs?

Hi
We are working on ISA 5 and we are blocked trying to figure out which one is the table where we can see the link between a Document and the Material master located in a product Catalog.
I've created the document via transaction - CV01N (Document creation and Assignment to the material master) and I've also assigned it via the catalog maintenance transaction - WWM2. But so far I cannot find the table where this assignment is done.
Can you please help me on this one?
Cheers
Hugo

The table you need for object links of a document is DRAD.

How to add new attribute in product catalog?

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how to add new field/attribute in product catalog?
The requirement is to display product's new attribute on product catalog screen.
Do I need to create any custom java class?
Need suggestion!!
Thanks.
Regards,
Rupali

Hello Rupali,
I am assuming a CRM E-Commerce scenario for my help here.
Can anyone tell me how to add new field/attribute in product catalog?
You must start from defining the new Attribute in an exisiting or new Set Type. Use transaction code COMM_ATTRSET. Once you have the attribute / attribute set defined, you can assign this to your catalog - in the header data as the Basic characteristic List.
to display product's new attribute on product catalog screen
See catalog/ProductDetailISA.jsp for tips - search for catalog.isa.attribute. The catalog item WebCatItem has all the details available already.
com.sapmarkets.isa.catalog.webcatalog.WebCatItem currentItem = webCatItem;
If you want to show the details of attributes in the catalog page - say - catalog/ProductsISA.jsp, the instance of WebCatItem is already available. In this page look for
<isa:iterate id="item"
name="itemPage"
type="com.sapmarkets.isa.catalog.webcatalog.WebCatItem">
You can see that item is an instance of the WebCatItem and follow the code in the <isa:iterate> loop. Using the following code
Iterator itemAttribute = item.getCatalogItemAttributes();
will give you the attribute list. You can iterate over the list of attributes and do what you want.

Custom Product catalog item text not displayed after product search

Hello Experts,
1. We have configured a custom PCAT_ITM text - Product catalog item text. - (say 000A )
2. Have appropriate text determination procedure, access sequence to determine this custom text
3. The text determination procedure has been chosen in the custom catalog type.
The above steps lets us use and publish this custom text in catalog using the text id ( TEXT000A_ ).
4. For accessing this text in the ISA Catalog search, we have maintained the text-id mapping in the file catalog-site-config.xml as follows:
<Map ID="siteMapID">
<Key ID="Subtitle">TEXT_000A</Key>
</Map>
Well, the issue now is, this setup works fine only in certain pages, but not in some other pages.
a. Works fine in ProductDetails.inc.jsp - currentItem.getAttribute("TEXT_000A") gives the right catalog item text value.
b. Doesn't work in organizer-content-product-search1.jsp - product.getCatalogItem().getAttribute("TEXT_000A"). Though the expectation is to get the catalog item text, we get a value "TRUE", yes (TRUE).
Can any expert tell if we are missing anything.

Hi Suvitha,
It may help in you looking up tables STXH / STXL before and after you make a change to one of your text objects ZPROD_DES.
