Real PHP project with PHP + SAP

Hi,
a question for the zend guys - is there ANY live customer/projects that uses SAP + PHP ?
Thanks

Hi,
i'm working for a german company "http://www.uniorg.de" and we have implemented some real live projects with SAP R3 and PHP. Some of them handle a large amount of data for international companies.
A lot of this projects are in the scope of webshops. A subset of data is imported into mysql and the web presentation layer is done with php. The realisation of the interface layer depends on the SAP System. Actually, we use SOAP Services for R4.7 Systems, but we also have an own product called "ETS Server" to use web technics like XML under SAP R2.x. We also have a PHP portal framework solution to do similar things like Enterprise Portals, but with Open Source Software.
Sure, the same problems could be done with java (we are also experienced in java development, cause we developed one of the leading CMS Systems for IBM Lotus Domino and also special BSPs/iViews for SAP EP Domino Integration), but there are other reasons beside knowledge.
PHP is fast and efficient cause it is compiled for every supported plattform. Java is working in a sandbox (own memory management) and this make things slow/expensive. For the same functionality you will need more server ressources or a bigger hardware. So comparing memory intensive things PHP is normally 10 times faster than java. Using XML Parsing/Processing boosts the usage of php cause java also implements the parser in java (PHP uses native parsers in C/C++).
Beside this, you need less time to develop php programs cause you don't have to wait for the compiler and don't need a deployment everytime. Since PHP5 you also develop in an java objectoriented approach.
If a have to make an offering for a customer, a php solution will be cheaper than the same solution in java, but there are also reasons not to use PHP:
- You shouldn't use PHP, if you need a server plattform that is not supported by PHP (Zend).
- Scalability for high traffic applications must be done by yourself (so do you have the needed knowhow?). Or you have to buy commercial php bundles.
- You need a highly integrated development environment like Netweaver Developer Studio for developing WebServices.
- You need Enterprise Services (like EJBs)
- Money is no reason and you are a consultant
At the moment, we mainly use php for the browser based presentation layer of web applications (especially high traffic sites). There is also no real B2C support by SAP Widgets like BSPs or WebDynpro, cause you can not force the customer to have special web clients (supported by SAP).
If PHP will be native integrated inside the WAS, it will be interesting to do more performance critical tasks with PHP.
Hope that helps someone to get an idea why to use PHP.
If you need more information, please contact me.

Adding Real-time projects with login.

Our system is LDAP'd, and I was wondering if there was a way to configure it such that upon successful login, an entry is created in the projects file that has users name and will update their rules.

It sounds like I need to learn about charts and graphs. Any articles that I can read on how to understand the Labview way of doing it?
This what I understand about charts ... the time base is free running and when a data point is fed into it, it is printed on the chart display.
the free running time base can be referenced to the referenced real time clock of the system at time zero.
Attached is an example of using the real time clock to set the offset and using the choices in the property menu as I understand it.
Absolute and relative choices have no use from what I can see.
I still digesting the info provided by you and Ken on charts and graphs.
Is there a guide with more detail and setup (How to)info than the Help files provide?
I am still learning the vocabulary , that is slowing me down in the search for a solution.
In a nutshell,
I am reading downhole gauges (4-20mA) from a DGH module via RS485.
The readings are converted to pressure and temps and display on a strip chart.
One of the requirements is that gauge values on the chart need to be referenced to time not just a free running reference of tick marks.
thanks for everyone's help on this.

Debug Multiple Flex Projects with shared PHP project

Hi ! I have a problem debugging Flex/PHP applications.
I have many Flex projects with a shared PHP project, so I need to set the the output folder to the Flex project's folder, not the PHP's project folder.
But it doesn't work, I mean the application works great, the PHP are executed fine, the AS3 code is debugged fine, but I can't debug PHP.
If I put the output folder to the PHP's project, then I can debug the PHP code too.
Please, can you tell me if it's possible to put the output folder to another folder than PHP's project???

Hi Steven,
Yes, I considered this option too.
But if someone creates in the database a column for a table that belongs to "Project A", when I publish "Project B" the generated script tries to remove the column since my copy of "Project A" on my solution is not the latest
version.
I think I'll just have to handle this. Like, organizing with people when and ho can publish to the databases.
Maybe the best practice is to developers use their own LocalDB while developping and only one person publish to database on the development server.

I'm trying to use PHP + SAP, with standard code who comes with SAPRFC... well... the connection runs without problems, but, when my code found some value like "money", the script execution stops...
I don't know what is this... I need some help...
Sorry for my english... I'm from brazil, and my english is not good...
Thanx for any help.

SAP is returning an array, like this:

OpenPSMSP4 to interface MS Project with SAP Project Sytems

I have installed OpenPSMSP4 to interface MS Project 2007 SP2 with SAP Project System ECC 6.0. However the upload button is deactivated so i cannot transfer from MS Project to the SAP System.
I have already created the role (SAP_PS_EPS) in PFCG and carried out the user maintenance in SU01 along with authorization for object S_RFC and S_USER_GRP but still the button remains deactivated.
Kindly let me know if I need do something else in SAP.

Hi,
Try MS Project 2007 SP1 instead of SP2.
This should solve the problem.

In a Real time project what would be the agent assignment attribute setting

Dear Experts,
I have never worked on a workflow project. I have been only practising workflow on a IDES system. I would like to know in a real live production system what settings do we use when we define the agent assignment at the task level? Do we set the attribute as GENERAL TASK always?
To be more specific as in the task attributes we have many options like
GENERAL TASK
GENERAL FORWARDING ALLOWED,
GENERAL FORWARDING NOT ALLOWED AND
FORWARDING NOT ALLOWED.
From the first three options which is most generally used in a real time projects?
AND
is it necessary to always set the attribute as GENERAL TASK before transporting the workflow definition to other systems from the development system?
appreciate your help on the same.
cheers
chky

Hello Learner,
It depends on the requirement, but in most of the cases we assign the task as general task.
To have some more information on the various attributes,
·        General task
If you define a task as a general task, all users can execute the task. This is useful if the task is used in a workflow and you only want to define the recipients in the step definition. A recipient can forward associated work items to all users.
Work items whose tasks are defined as general tasks and for which no responsible agents or default rules are defined are offered to all users of the SAP System for execution in their Business Workplaces.
·        General forwarding allowed
A work item that represents a task with this property can be forwarded by one of its recipients to all users, even if they are not possible agents of the task.
·        General forwarding not allowed
A work item that represents a task with this property can be forwarded by one of its recipients only to the possible agents of the task.
·        Forwarding not allowed
A work item that represents a task with this property cannot be forwarded by one of its recipients.
Hope this will help.

Sam

hi sap gurus
i have done sap-fico iam in job trails. can any body help me Fico interview questions and Real time tickets with resoving details
regards
prasad.v
Edited by: chinna prasad on Jun 5, 2008 4:10 PM

Hello Prasad,
Before attending interviews.....First you need to understand general things like CV writing, projects, sub modules etc., you should be gain knowledge on these concepts then you can move further.
1. CV 2.Projects 3.your strenths in sap (reading..reading...reading....practice...practice...practice)
2.you please interact with your friends who is on trails, then you can get more information like interview process, methodology, technical etc.,
I am sending some real time interview tech questions which will useful for you.
Questions:
1.When tickets are raised by end users who will give priority? After resolve the tickets who will close the status?
2.In real time at a time how many normal periods, special periods, MM periods we can open?
3.What is client dependant & Independent?
4.How to transport configuration settings from one client to another client or production client, which tools we can use for transport?
5.Why we donu2019t assign business area to company code?
6.What is the difference between General GL A/c, Control A/c, Reconciliation A/c & Offsetting A/c?
Answers:
1.The priority is generally decided by the Coordinator on the client side. After tickets are resolved, they will have to be closed by the coordinator on the customer site
2. In FI as many as you wants. In MM only 2 (current month + previous
3.Certain tables and customizations made in one client will affect the other clients also - then it is cross client i.e, client dependent. While if the changes made in one client has no impact on the other client - it is said to be client independent
4.Transports from one server to the other can be made with the help of transport requests. When a configuration is done the system generates a request number. First release the task and then release the request. Use TC-SE10 / SE09, SE09: workbench transport; SE10: customizing transport. But currently no such difference actually exists.
5.because in case of multiple company codes, same business area can be used across company codes. Business area is cross company code, means it is not confined to one company code thatu2019s why we don't assign BA to any of the company codes. It is client dependant, not company code dependant. We can pass values from one company code to any of the BA in that client.
6.General GL Account are those used for standard posting like for example Income and Expenses Accounts
- Control Account are basically used for reconciliation between modules like FI and CO, to ensure that both the modules are in sync.
- Reconciliation Account are those specific covering ADK (A-Assets, D-Customer, K-Vendor). For example a Customer Master would be mapped to a Bills Receivable Reconciliation Account and any transaction that needs to be posted are done against the customer code.
- Offsetting Account are used for variety of reasons and few examples are Intercompany Postings, at the time of Implementation when TB and Balance sheet are uploaded would be offsetted against a dummy account.
All the best.....dont forget and pl assign points if useful and if u have any querries pl revert back
thanks

XI Real time projects

HI all,
I have knowledge on XI like its components, mappings, message monitoring and configured some scenarios.
Now I wanted to know how the real time projects in XI will be
can any one share their ideas who has knowledge on xi real time projects....
i have heard of scenarios like A2A, B2B, B2C
what type of scenario we use mostly, which adapters comes in what type of scenarios.....i would like to know all these
plz share ur ideas, if possible, send me some links on the above lines.......
thanks,
satish

Hi Satish,
what type of scenario we use mostly,
>>>>>It depends on the Business process/flow and requirements.
Generally ,Most of the time one of the systems(either Source or Target) will be SAP Systems. So once your Source or Target is SAP systems, then it is clear that the way of communications will be Idocs/RFC/Proxies.
And A2A is most common scenarios, when your integration is dealing with the systems in in your landscape. If it is outside the landscape or across the firewall then B2B comes into picture.
which adapters comes in what type of scenarios

If you are working on new implementation then life cycle is same for all ..
Implementation steps:
1. AS IS process
2. To be process mapping
3. customizaiton in SAP + devepment
4. Unit testing
5. Full testing
6. End-user training
7. Go-live
8. Support for initial month-ends.
9. Ongoing support....
Basically full life cycle is ised in the context of full implementation of the project which involves - Business Blue Print, Realization, Testing, Go live and post go live support.
End to End can be related to a particular business process. For example, we can consider Order to Cash as end to end cycle. This will involve - creation of a Sales Order, Delivery, Billing , Customer Payment.
SAP full life cycle starts with Reqirements gathering to go-live.
1. Requirement gathering.
2. Project initiation
3. Blue print Analysis
4. Dev. Phase
5.Testing
6.Go-live.

Real time project doubts

hi friends,
please explain me what are the approaches for real time project. what are functional spects and what are techincal spects, how can i get requirements from end user. max how many users will be there. please give me with more details.
Thanking u
suneel.

Hi,
Functional Specs are requirements of the business user.
Technical Specs translate these requirements in a techincal fashion.
Let's say Functional Spec says,
1. the user should be able to enter the Key date, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Version.
2. The Company variable should be defaulted to USA but then if the user wants to change it, they can check the drop down list and choose other countries.
3. The calculations or formulas for the report will be displayed in precision of one decimal point.
4. The report should return values for 12 months of data depending on the fiscal year that the user enters Or it should display in quarterly values.
Functional specs are also called as Software requirements.
Now from this Techinal Spec follows, to resolve each of the line items listed above.
1. To give the option of key date, Fiscal year and Fiscal Version - certain Info Obejcts should be availble in the system. If available, then should we create any variables for them - so that they are used as user entry variable. To create any varaibles, what is the approch, where do you do it, what is the technical of the objects you'll use, what'll be the technical name of the objects you'll crete as a result of this report.
2. Same explanation goes for the rest. How do you set up the varaible,
3. What changes in properties willu do to get the precision.
4. How will you get the 12 months of data.
What will be the technical and display name of the report, who'll be authorized to run this report, etc are clearly specified in the technical specs

Project Structure in SAP R/3 Replication Issues

Hi All,
I have some of the Issues while creating the Project Structure in cProjects.
1) The Project Structure getting generated in SAP R/3 is only mappped with WBS elements, why not Networks and Network Activies.
e.g
*cProjects SAP Project Systems*
Project Definition -
> Project definition
Phase----
> WBS Element
Task----
>WBS Element
Mirrored Task----
>WBS Element
Sub Task----
>WBS Element
Checklist----
>WBS Element
Checklist item----
>WBS Element
Is this the standard feature or whether we can create the Network and Network Activites for Tasks and Checklist??
2) The Numbering of the Phase, Tasks, Sub tasks, hecklist etc... all are of some 24 digit numerals, Can we automate the numbering like, the WBS element at level 1 should copy the project definition number and some extension...
3) the Project generated in SAP Project Systems i.e the WBS Elements has status "MDLK" Master data locked.... Why is this set. Is it standard? Can we eliminate this?
Hoping for answers from you all.
Thanks & Regards,
Stephen

3) the Project generated in SAP Project Systems i.e the WBS Elements has status "MDLK" Master data locked.... Why is this set. Is it standard? Can we eliminate this?
>>> As the WBS is automatically created via integration. Use this status to prevent the user change it by mistaken. To behonest, I do not this logic, but it is standard behaviour.
