Hi,
you are running you system as dbo.
remove profile parameter dbs/mss/schema from DEFAULT.PFL
also remove MSSQL_SCHEMA from environment variable of your sidadm and SAPServiceSID users.
Check that it is removed by using the SAP MMC, right-mouseclick on the application server and choose All Tasks -> View Environment.
If necessary, remove value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\<SID>\Environment\MSSQL_SCHEMA from the registry.

Hi.......
SAP CRM uses BW Adapter to extract data from SAP CRM and send it to SAP Business Information Warehouse and SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence. For mBDocs, BW Adapter extracts objects for CRM business transactions and CRM billing use the BAdI CRM_BWA_MFLOW. However, in releases prior to SAP CRM 2005, after using transaction code RSA5 to activate business content in SAP CRM, you must use transaction code BWA5 to activate the business content for the BW Adapter.

SAP CRM Sales or Service or Marketing Professional Certification Exam

Dear Experts,
I have Experience in SAP ABAP and BW .
I want to write SAP CRM Professional Certification Exam.
But my Question is in which CRM module(Sales/Service/Marketing), I should do the certification.
I mean which would be useful in my career.
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Regards
Sam

As you know in ERP, BW is cross system, in CRM happens the same, fristly I would ask myself in which ERP process where I was more involved. If I dealt with docuemtns (business transactions) I would go for SAP CRM Sales, if my vision is wider (MM, FI, CO) and not so focused on the SD area I would go for the services.
In your situation I would go for the SAP Certified Application Associate - CRM Fundamentals with SAP CRM 7.0 EhP2 and forget about the "Professional" ones.

SAP CRM - no confidence in UI by SAP?

After reading this blog and looking at the article attached to the blog. I had an interesting question:
Can Rich Internet Applications finally be accepted as a credible application development platform for SAP?
Does SAP have any confidence in its own CRM software? Right now SAP is touting how easy to use the new version of SAP CRM is, and yet this article implies they don't use their own product's user interface.
Now I know the eSOA mantra says this shouldn't matter, but I would say this is one of those cases where it doesn't. If the vendor won't/can't use their own CRM software because the UI is too ugly/clumsy or other reason, why should I as a customer.
As a customer I don't want to purchase a CRM software and then have to purchase a better UI to go on top of the software. I might as well spend the money on software that might have a better UI perceived by my sales folks(think siebel, salesforce.com, sugarcm, etc), and spend those dollars on integration instead. It's a lot cheaper to do integration work, than completely rewrite the UI to meet my users needs.
I'm also wondering why SAP would even send this message by displaying this article on SDN? I'm sure if the guys at oracle saw this article, we would see a press release from that says something of the like:
"Even SAP acknowledges, that SAP CRM is too difficult to use".
I bring this up because we are selling use of SAP CRM 2007 in house right now, and it makes it harder for me to sell the solution to my business users, if there are conflicting messages on the market.
Take care,
Stephen

> Wow, you almost have the "nightmare" scenario when it comes to maintenance. I just have to ask what functional areas (high level) did you implement? Was it the marketing module?
I can tell you...
We were using Mobiles Sales with activities, campaigns, sales documents and master data and we switched that to CRM 2005 and Portal (+ adding BI reporting functionality with BI-CRM content). For the Java part there's enough said (by me) already, I won't start again with that (mess). The CRM looked pretty well at first sight but devil's in the detail.
> The marketing module in CRM 40 was so unstable on SP08 that basically we ditched the application and wrote something custom in the SAP GUI instead. Any t-code that had over 400 related notes(segment builder) is just a nightmare not to mention just plain bugs in the PCUI that we weren't willing to wait a month for fixes.
Well.. people have always be VERY helpful, especially the guys and girls in India were doing a very good job at fixing bugs - once the communication was done via email and not via phone...;) But you're right - it's taking sometimes too much time to get a fix and yet-another-note.
> I still think the SAP GUI sometimes beats the web based interfaces, once you learn how to use it. The problem was that everyone got obessed with zero-client installations and forgot about the benefits of "specialized" clients. Now everyone is basically trying to make a web browser work like a desktop client, which puts you back full circle.
Everyone THINKS it's zero installation but in fact you have to configure proxy exceptions, add/install certificates, enable/disable Javascript things, add trusted sites, (re-)configure firewalls on Laptops, delete browser caches, install SVG viewer and other "plugins", install and maintain security fixes for the browser etc. etc. and this on a distributed environment where our sales reps are spread over the whole world in different time zones. So the "zero-installation" is nothing but marketing flowery because the maintenance you needed to put into Mobile Sales is now needed for the browser - nice antagonism
> In would have been interesting to see how well SAP would have fared if they had made the mistake of making the original R/3 application 2-tier instead of a 3-tier client/server.
It's been like that @ R/2 times and I must tell you I loved the green screens (http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/R2-0.GIF and http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images_hist/SCREENO1.GIF)

SAP CRM 7.0 - Interactive reporting tool enhancing reports with new fields

Hi Everyone,
I am a BW Professional, currently working on evaluating the true benefits of implementing Interactive Reporting tool for our company. As I understand the Interactive reporting tool restricts us to report on individual reporting areas like Activities, Leads, Opportunties etc.
But according to our business it is very important for us to be able to report on cross reporting areas real time i.e. activities & leads together or activties, leads & opportunties together etc.
I learned about the enhancement work bench in interactive reporting tool where we can add SAP fields to individual reporting areas, so I thought of adding leads & opportunties to activities. This is where the fun part starts.
Here I learned that all activty ID, Lead ID and Oppo ID are all fed from one single field from SAP CRM i.e. OBJECT_ID, which means the system is dividing this data into individual reporting areas based on type of data i.e. leads or oppor's etc. and may be based on some key like account etc. So here is a technical question, for me to add a new field to a reporting area I have to give a field name but we already have OBJECT_ID from where I am pulling activties data, so if I want to include leads also in activties then I will have to add some logic manually to get that and can't use enhancement workbench because it is for missing fields from SAP CRM whereas in my case I already have OBJECT_ID from where I am getting Activity data.
Sorry if I am driving you guys crazy but I am just trying to think loud to make myself clear with concepts.
Also I have seen that a reporting area in Interactive reporting tool is based on a BW query, but I am not sure why not all the fields in BW query are available for reporting in Interactive reporting tool?
Any help or commets will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SRV

Hello,
checking with the config wizard is always a good idea since it's the only supported way to configure this scenario
The secret is that you apparently did not activate the report areas. It is a bit missleading that the queries are checked before the report areas are checked, therefore you see the errors concerning the queries first. Below those errors you should find some lines like
    Report areas: delivered 15, active <?>
    CRM interactive reports: delivered 20, active <?>
    Activation of report areas checked
The last line offers some documentation and the actual link to activate the report areas.
Best regards

SAP CRM 7.0 Webclient - Product Identification (IBase or IObject)

Dear SAP IC-Experts ,
I am new in the configuration of the SAP Interaction Center (SAP CRM 7.0) and have a process orientated question.
In my proyect the company is producing bathroom products which are installed in hotels, private homes, etc.. They sell their products via partner so they in most cases dont know where there products are installed until the end-user calls when they have a service problem. In the Interaction Center I have seen the Account and Product-identification Workcenter Page.
1. My first question is do I have to use IBase or IObjects to save the proyects in the Database? If I understood correctly IObjects can only be used if I have a serial-number for example which are used for cars or laptops to be able to uniquely identifie a product. As Bathroom products does not have this this kind of identification number to identify a single object I have to use IBase right? Additionaly I the company sells for example 30 times a shower cabine to a hotel I can not use IObject too because there is installed 30 times the same product in different floors and hotel rooms. This leads me to the conclusion that we have to use IBase which leads my directly to the second question
2. When using IObjects there is a Create-Button to create a new IOBject but this create button does not exists for a IBase in the View. When the end-user is calling me can I create in a very short time the installed base (IBase)? I hope I could make myself clear?
Basically I need to know if using IBase or IObjects for bathroom products and if using IBase how can I create it quickly as an IC Agent when the client is calling?
Best Regards
Oliver

Hello Oliver,
Yes, you are correct. The IObject (individual object) is intended primarily for consumer-facing scenarios involving serialized registered products. For a B2B scenario where a company has a footprint of installed products (whether it be HVAC equipment, plumbing systems, faucets, etc.) it is probably preferrably to use the Installed Base object to model the installation.
As you noticed, there is no native possibility to directly create new Installed Base hierachies from inside the Interaction Center directly (though there is an option for IObjects). The rationale here is that while a contact center agent would often register a new consumer product, they probably would not usually create new Installed Base hierarchies; rather this is something that, like creation of service contracts for example, is typically done by a Service Professional using the ServicePro role. However, you can always add a link to your IC menu to launch the ServicePro screen for IBase maintenance/creation in order to allow the agent to create or maintain the IBase hierarchy. A little cumbersom of course, but definitely a possible workaround.
Warm regards,
John

Future of SAP CRM

Hello Friends,
I need a very sincere advice with the help of this forum and would really appreciate the SAP folks to open-up and provide your best futuristic and honest suggestion
My Background
I have a total of 7.5 years of experience that includes 6 years of SAP presales support activity. Now when I say presales as you all know it stars from LEAD QUALIFICATION and ends to LEAD CONVERSION and the capacity of work that is involved between these two word is enormous. So far my professional career got totally engrossed into RFPs, RFIs, RFQs proposal preparation, SOW preparation, estimation, client presentation, case study, defining GTM strategy, coordination between different teams (Infra, COE, Sales, Legal.....). Though this role has given me lots of knowledge on the domain (manufacturing, retail, utility, consumer goods...) as well as SAP (ECC, SRM, SCM, CRM, BI/BW.....) but what I think if I can combine my current experience (I call it as domain) with real time project experience in some module of SAP; then it will add more value and wattage to my CV as well as my future career path.
My Thoughts
I am sure there are many professionals like me who have chosen this kind of path for his/her career, but the biggest question comes WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO!!!!!!! --a sales professional, or Bid manager or an account manager there on to practice heads and so on. The answers is yes these could be an option but to be a good solution architect or AM/BM in SAP space i think it is important to be well versed with one of the modules in combination with domain.
Future of SAP
We all know the future of SAP is heading from CAPEX to OPEX market which mean CLOUD is / going to be HOT CAKE for its customer, then comes some of the emerging technology like CLOUD COMPUTING, HANA, Mobility SucessFactors, HADOOP etc. I am sure people will agree that in every human the wisdom teeth comes only after certain age but that doesn't conclude with the downfall of all other 32 teeth and in my opinion so is SAP. With these emerging technologies the backbone of SAP R/3 will continue to exist.
My Questions
The next important aspect comes what combination of modules should a professional like me choose to gain project experience and what is its future/milestone because these days we have been hearing a lot of new technology within SAP space. Please suggest from the below list which I thought could be the probable options
SAP CRM Functional
SAP SD
SAP SD+CRM
SAP SCM (APO, DP, SNP, GATP, PPDS)
SAP IS Retail
Please share your thoughts and suggestion and I am sure it will definitely add value in my decision. I appreciate your thoughts in anticipation
Regards
Shekar

EP 6.0 connection to CRM 2005

Dear Sirs,
I have some question about the consequences of an upgrade
to CRM 2005. Does anyone know how if this will affect the portal requirements?
We are currently running Enterprise Portal NW04 WAS 6.40 to connect to a CRM system 3.1.
We are also running an Internet shop (B2B, http://host:50000/b2b/b2b/init.do) on an ISA server in connection with CRM 3.1. We conntect to using the portal par, com.sap.pct.crm.customerPowerBuy.par, part of Business Package for CRM 3.1. The help pages describe this component; (in CRM 5.0) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/8c/b4c1dde011654282734e30b81c4bd3/frameset.htm
Will we be able to use this par file to connect to the CRM 5.0 version of the Internet Shop? Or will we be able to back port the (the similar par file) in new business package to EP6.0?
Is there any other limitations connection EP6 to CRM 2005, e.g the low level communcication does not work, the system object is different.
Any experiences running EP6.0 with CRM 2005, would be highly interessting.
PS: I am aware of this thread /community [original link is broken]=110892&messageID=1235908#1235908 but I did not feel the answer gave enough details on why, and on my specific component.
Best regards,

Thank you James,
but as you already see, I have included a link to this help page in my posting, and to the specific component in question.
Allthough the the master guide and upgrade guide states that EP NW2004s is a requirement the help page which I refer to (for the CRM 5.0) states the following.
Available for Portal (Release) SAP EP 6.0
I feel this is a big contradiction, and confuses me.

Upgrade to CRM 2005 while keeping EP 6.0

Dear Sirs,
I have some question about the consequences of an upgrade to CRM 2005. Does anyone know how if this will affect the portal requirements? I work primarily with portals, and have little knowledge of CRM. Please feel free to give any input surrounding this matter.
We are currently running Enterprise Portal NW04 WAS 6.40 to connect to a CRM system 3.1.
Primarily we use the portal to run a set of BSP applications (some home-made and some not) running on CRM 3.1. My personal believe is that an upgrade to CRM 5.0, will not affect the portal as the applications will still be BSP applications. A BSP is a BSP no matter platform? But how easy will the migration of the homemade content be. Is the upgrade from CRM 3.5 to CRM 5.0 regarded as a major upgrade, so that we can expect that a lot of things will have to be changed? Or is the backward-compability good so it should be a fairly easy migration.
We are also running an Internet shop (B2B, http://host:50000/b2b/b2b/init.do) on CRM 3.1, which we conntect to using the portal par, com.sap.pct.crm.customerPowerBuy.par, part of Business Package for CRM 3.1. The help pages describe this component;, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/8c/b4c1dde011654282734e30b81c4bd3/frameset.htm Does anyone have experience migrating this functionality from CRM 3.1 to CRM 2005. Any problems ahead? (any problems using EP 6.0 here as well?)
Any other experiences or confirmations of people using EP6.0 in conjunction with CRM 2005, would be of great help and highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Jørgen Ruud

The reason for all these questions is that I'm going to be upgrading from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to just install Photoshop CS5 and try it out, then order the upgrade to complete the install later. I'm concerned about an upgrade not being appropriate (1) and a need to install Photoshop CS3 completely and then run the update to CS5. If I have to do that, I may just install CS3 after my Windows upgrade.osted.
The upgrade process is really quite straightforward these days - even on a new box which has never previously had Adobe software installed.
Upgrades are as good as full versions once installed. When installing upgrades, all that matters is that you have a serial number to an earlier qualifying version handy - Adobe has given up tracing this all the way back to your full version which could be up to 20 years ago. Upgrade serial numbers can only be verified by serial numbers up to 3 versions back anyway so Photoshop CS does not qualify for a CS5 upgrade.
There's no need to install older versions on a new computer before installing the CS5 upgrade version. It's actually the full code on the disk regardless of whether you purchased a full version or an upgrade - the serial number tells the installer if you've bought an upgrade or full version license.
When you enter your upgrade serial number for CS5, the installer will ask you to enter an earlier qualifying serial number (full or upgrade does not matter). I've successfully completed this exact scenario myself several times.
The only caveat to the above is that there is a world of difference in licensing terms (and serial numbers) between a suite and a standalone version. If you install a CS5 suite trial then want to keep just the Photoshop component (and enter its serial number), you'll have to uninstall the entire suite first then install the upgrade version of standalone Photoshop CS5. Then enter your CS5 serial number then verify by entering your CS3 serial number.

Difference between SAP CRM and mySAP CRM

Hi ,
can anybody tell me the Difference between SAP CRM and mySAP CRM.
Regards,
Shaker.

Personally I have never called it mySAP CRM even though I have worked with SAP CRM since version 2.0C.
IMHO: Calling it SAP CRM + numerical version number is lot easier to understand
If you look at a CRM system the installed component could be one of the following:
BBPCRM 20C SAP CRM 2.0C
BBPCRM 300 SAP CRM 3.0
BBPCRM 310 SAP CRM 3.1
BBPCRM 400 SAP CRM 4.0 / mySAP CRM 2004
BBPCRM 500 SAP CRM 5.0 / mySAP CRM 2005
BBPCRM 510 SAP CRM 2006s(1)
BBPCRM 520 SAP CRM 2006s(2)
BBPCRM 600 SAP CRM 2007 / SAP CRM 6.0
BBPCRM 700 SAP CRM 7.0
I'm not sure about some of the other versions.. but I believe that covers most.
Take care,
Stephen

Getting Interaction center as the default page on the SAP CRM 7.0 webui

Hi,
I have installed SAP CRM 7.0 and done all the basic things. I have assigned Sales Professional and Marketing Professional PFCG roles to my user in SU01. Now when I logon to webui, I am getting interaction center(with all the accept, reject, etc.. buttons) screen as the default screen and I could not locate my sales or marketing professional business roles.
Can anyone please let me know where it went wrong.
Thanks
SP

Hi Andrei,
No I couldn't see the option to choose the business Roles. I have assigned 4 pfcg roles in SU01 for my user. Also tried with parameter value for CRMC_UIPROFILE=*. But still I could not see the Business roles on the webui page. It is taking me directly to interaction center which is with all the buttons to accept and reject calls.
I have newly installed the system. I believe I have done all the basic things to get into WEBUI. But still couldn't see those assigned business roles on my webui oage.
I have tried this way either. Gone to SE80> BSP Application>CRM_IC-->Execute.......but still it is taking me to interaction center page and not to the assigned business roles.
Please guys let me know where it went wrong.
Thanks
SP
