Question on SAP Insurance -Reinsurance
Hi All
I am new to SAP and need some guidance.I have nearly 10 years experience in working with North American life insurance admin platform
I have worked in product development (requirements and configuration), administration of life insurance products(term, whole life, UL, VUL, Variable Annuity). I have FLMI (Fellow in Life Management Institute) and ARA (Associate reinsurance administration) designations
I have also worked with reinsurance companies providing extracts (TAI format) from life admin systems. I enrolled in SAP learning hub and completed overview of insurance and SAP navigation
Question:
I want to learn more about SAP reinsurance. However I see that there are ONLY online learning material from SAP (OKP). There are NO training material for SAP reinsurance certification.
For SAP insurance, I see materials (for all modules). I also see training manuals and certifications.
Does completing OKP material for SAP reinsurance a good idea to enter to SAP reinsurance area or Should I enroll and complete SAP Insurance and then try for SAP reinsurance
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Hello Bharathi,
Few pointers:
1. There is no certification for individual modules in SAP for insurance, there is only one for all the modules (PM, CM, CD and ICM).The certification code is: C_FSIINS_66.
2. There is no certification for SAP for Reinsurance module and it is not part of C_FSIINS_66 either.
3. Learning other modules and then RI, will definitely give you more insight into SAP for insurance, but may be a long route and may not be relevant for you as you already have vast experience.
4. Learning will remain incomplete until you get into the system and get some hands on.
5. If your goal is to get into SAP for RI as a consultant: get to know from OKP as much as you can. Ultimately your employer will train you to make you project ready.

Various questions on SAP XI usage
Hi XI Experts,
I have few questions on SAP XI usage :
Q1-Does SAP XI is unique - client like BW ?
If multi - clients is possible is there any particular usage recommandations when in design, configuration and production deploiement on PRD SAP XI System ?.
Q2-is it technically possible to restart a well processed message (with nice black & white flag in SXMB_MONI) ?
And I know its not a good thing to try to do this...
Q3-is it technically possible to modify XML payload in message ?
And I know again its a very bad thing to try to do this...
Q4-We have to work with xCBL 4.0 definitions. I think i only have to import all XSD definitions as External Definitions in Interface Objects of my repository. Does it right ?
Great thanks for your(s) response(s).
Best regards
EtienneHi,

Hello
some questions on SAP DMS:-
- can versions of same document be shown graphically. ?
- can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
- is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
- is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
ThanksHi Shovon,
1. can versions of same document be shown graphically?
You can display all existing versions of a document info record by using the menu 'Extras' >> 'Versions'. Then you will see all existing document version for this specific document number. Further you will see which is the current version at the moment.
2. can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
I'm not quite sure what you mean by links to documents. If you mean linking document info records together, I can confirm that this works also in DMS. You can maintain the object DRAW for object links in the customizing and then you will be able to link one document info record to another. The data for all document info records is stored in table DRAW.
If you are talking about originals which are linked to document info records, please note that if you check in an original the system creates a unique LOIO- and PHIO-ID which is stored in the Content Server and in the database tables DMS_DOC2LOIO and DMS_PHIO2FILE. But there are also different reports to migrate original data from one content Server to another (e.g. DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT).
3. Is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
Yes you can activate an event type linkage for object
DRAW CHANGED DOKST
DRAW CHANGED DWNAM
in transaction SWE2. Here you just have to set the flag for 'Type linkage' (linkage activated). Then everytime the document is changed a notification is sent to the entered USER of this document info records.
4. Is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
Normally there is no special lifecycle. You can control this by maintaining a released status and if there are more versions always version with the release status is the current one. But there is no specific date when the document info record expires or something like that.
Best regards,
Christoph

Questions about SAP's SRM capabilities
SRM Experts, I have two questions:
In SAP, is it possible:
1. To have "Amount Only Requisitions", that is, specify requisitions that enable requesters to order goods and services specifying only a dollar amount and not quantity.
2. Reopen Closed Requisitions and Purchase Orders, that is, re-open ANY previously closed requisition or purchase order, not only those from the last batch of the Close
Reconciliation process.
Thanks!Ok let me try...
1) One of the Key building blogs will be the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1. Its provides the ES Repository for Service Metadata and the ES Registry for the Service Endpoints. The Registry you use for finding and classifcation of your services. Any yes XI/PI could be used as ESB.
Another keybuilding block is the SAP NetWeaver Composition Enviroment 7.1. This one is used at Design and Runtime for Composite Process, Composite Views and Composite Application which consume Enterprise Services.
2) WS-Poilcy, WS-Adressing and BPEL is defenetly supported with PI 7.1(release planned for september 2007)
3) This a part of the NetWeaver Composition Enviroment. For Monitoring you need brokered Service communication... in this case you can use PI as integration Broker which is able to monitor your communication.
4) Exacutable Business Process(BPEL) are supported by PI 7.1
You are able to Design these processes with the Design tools of the PI.
For Highlevel Process modeling ARIS for SAP Netweaver is integrated.
So from High Level Process models drill down to theService Operations are all part of the Enterprise Service Repository and can be used to realise you business tasks.
5) SAP provide the ES Workplace and SAP Discovery System for Enterprise SOA

Question concerning sap script
Hi all experts! I have a question concerning sap script
First some background information:
Ive created a sap script that is called from a function module and from an executable program, when I run the executable program the sap script work fine, but when I run the function module, all the variables in the sap script dont have value
In the function module the variables are defined in the top include
I dont know why these variables dont take his value from the function module
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: Gerardo hernandezI think that sapscript expects its variables to be in the program which calls the fm <b>by default</b>. When you test via SE37 the framework itself is the calling program and it's unlikely that it will have a variable named kunnr-name1.
To over-ride this default, inside your fm pass the 'options' parameter(type itcpo) to 'open_form' and set the 'tdprogram' value to sy-repid in the function module.
I have tested this in my own environemnt and initially got the same error as you. When I set the tdprogram variable it started working! -
