Role of clients in CRM Multiple Backend Scenario

Does the CRM Multiple Backend Scenario only apply to a single client pointed to multiple CRM or ERP systems.
All the relevant tables are client dependent in CRM 2007 and the client independent ones use logical destinations which can easily be pointed todifferent clients.
We want to point different clients on a CRM or ERP system to multiple back ends, but each client will only have a single client that it points to.
For example
CRM (dev) client 100 is connected to ERP (sandbox) client 100
CRM (dev) client 200 is connected to ERP (dev) client 100
CRM (test) client 100 is connected to ERP (qa) client 100
CRM (qa) client 100 is connected to ERP (qa) client 200
This will only be in the development and qa systems. Production will be a single system and client on each side.

Aubrey Smith

Aubrey,
Development will happen in only one client system. This can later be moved to Quality and further to production. All customization will also be moved same way. It may also happen that your development is cross client so if you do development on 100 , it will be available on 200 client as well.

set-up.
And If any one of you have already implemented MEP Scenario in the SAP CRM Landscape, Could you please help us to provide with the Configuration Steps / Documents, so that we can proceed further.
Below are the following Queries:
For Customizing Adapter Object:
1) Does MEP Concept support the Customizing Adapter object to download from more than one ECC System to single CRM System.
    If Yes, Could you please provide the Configuration steps or Procedure to download the customizing data.
For Master Adapter Object:
2) The Adapter objects for Master Data like Customer and Materials are technically supported under MEP for the data exchange.
     However, is it possible to download the Equipments Master Data from more than one ECC System to single CRM System?
     If Yes, Could you please provide the steps or Procedure to download the Equipments Master Data.

ABAP Mapbox CRM 7.0 for a Multiple Backend Scenario

Dear SDN community members,
In our project we have one CRM system connected to three ERPs. For this reason we try to use the ABAP MAPBOX functionality for the customizing and master data mapping. In the process of the initial download of CUSTOMER_MAIN object we take the following error :No table entry found: 'CUST_REL'/'CRTCLNT100', Service that caused the error: SMW3_OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS. As we have read on the CRM 7.0 the ABAP MAPBOX is part of the ABAP stack of CRM and for this reason we do not create RFC connection for the MAPBOX. Is this correct ?
Does anyone have any idea about the problem above ? Also is there any technical documentation for the customizing steps that are needed for the scenario of multiple backend systems ?
Thanks in advance,
John Syrigos

Hi John, our project is facing the same requirement, multiple ECC 5.0/6.0 back ends. Were you successful in the integration and MapBox activation and can you give me any lessons learned in your experience?
thanks

How UWL support substitution in multiple backend scenario?

Hello experts,
We are using UWL with multiple backend - 3 ERPs. If I define a substitution rule in portal, I think this rule will be replicated in all the 3 ERPs otherwise my substitute in the backend could not get my work items in UWL. Is it correct? Do you have more information about this topic?
thank you for your help in advance!
Best Regards,
Huaiyang

Dear Huaiyang,
You are right, if you have multiple systems connected to UWL , then substitution set via UWL has been entered in all systems.
However it is not possible to restrict substition settings to a particular system. If the user set a substitution via UWL, then it will be set in all connected system as well. UWL set the substitution at backend level in the normal substituion table HRUS_D2.
Hope this helps.

Multiple Backends, e-Sourcing

Hi all, we have positioned e-Sourcing at a client that now intends to integrate to multiple backends. With the SAP Consulting Note (OSS), we can interface e-Sourcing to a single backend. Does anyone have any experience with integrating to multiple backends? Some of our initial white board sessions to resolve this include:
1. Writing some code/scripts or mapping with PI/XI to mimic the SRM BADI "determine logical system" to route the contract back to the appropriate R3.
2. Using the Portal function "Composite Application Framework" to facilitate the selection of appropriate backend systems.
If anyone has experience or comments, please provide details or point me to some documentation to support this effort. I assume someone has addressed this previously. thank you.
regards,
gary

Hi Gary
We are also looking at implementing the Multiple Backend scenarios for SAp E-Sourcing integration with SAP R/3
We understand that SAP will offer this as an interface from version 6.0 onwards, however this release as of now has been cancelled and are now looking at SAp E-Sourcing version 5.1 that will have the Multiple Backend integration
Just to add to your views, we can still looking at using the splitter functionality in SAP XI to help push the messages to the respective multiple backends, however we need to create fresh Interfaces that will be used to Push from SAP E-Sourcing to SAP R/3 XML messages routed through XI
We have to take these as development initiatives and address the multiple backend integration
However, if you are able to hold on till version 5.1 is released in Q2, 2008, you need not develop these interfaces, incase its the project requirement at the moment, then you can go ahead and develop these interfaces in XI
Incase you can share some information on the Single Backend integration, please feel free to send them to [email protected]
Let me know if you need more information on your subject,and the decision you finally take to address your issue

Multiple clients in CRM Dev/QA system

Hi All-
I've seen in various places that it is recommended to only have one client in a CRM system. I have worked at many sites that have several CRM clients in a system without issues.
Can any one point me to an SAP Note or document that recommends only one client per CRM system? I realize that there are possible issues with the CRM pricing and cross-client customizing downloads but these can usually be worked around. What other issues are a concern?
Any SAP document about this would be great.
Thanks!
Tim

Tim,
Unless you are going to have multiple back ends or some business scenario that requires multiple clients in CRM Production, then don't do it in CRM Dev/QA.
The reason why don't do multiple clients in a CRM system that is connected to an ERP backend is the following:
CRM configuration is dependent on downloaded configuration from the ERP system.
A normal CRM system should only have one backend connection.
Now why would you want want to have a Dev and QA system that does not reflect how your production system works. In fact in the case of CRM you are making more work and creating systems that do not accurately mirror production.
The whole gold client concept in CRM is honestly a bad idea when you have single ERP backend, because it just causes more work for people and it my opinion its a way of people trying to stay busy than add real value.
Now if you really want to keep busy maintaining middleware and keeping things in sync, go for multiple clients in Dev/QA. The best part is when something in Prod breaks you won't have any environment that mirrors Prod correctly from a middleware perspective. In my opinion if you are that concerned about configuration and master data mixing then you probably need a CRM sandbox instance to try things out.
Take care,
Stephen

Multiple Backend Connected to the same SRM client.

Hello All,
We have an interesting requirement.
We have an SRM 5.0 client with R/3 4.7 backend. Now we need to add another instance of ECC 5.0 to be connected to the same SRM client ( either on the same org stucture or a different org structure).
I am facing difficulty in doing the material replication.
I have the inbound queue in SRM blocked and I and getting the error message LOGSYS_FOR_GUID_CHANGED.
This lead me to the notes 588701 and 765018. But I am not sure this would actually solve the problem.
I have also seen the following thread which indicated that one CRM client should point to only one R/3 instance.
Downloading basic R/3 objects into CRM with brand new systems
Has any one so for integrated multiple backends to the same SRM client? What was your approch to the requirement? Inviting your views and opinions to this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Ajith

Hi
You can implement corrections in the note 765018 as you mentioned in your post.
We have done the same thing. In case of multiple backends and also if systems are refreshed with other instances (client copy), the logical system ID will be changed.
So we need to run the report mentioned in the said note and run the replication.

SAP CRM multiple clients possible

Hi,
We have a NetWeaver SAP CRM system (ABAP + JAVA) stack.
We run an internet webshop application on the JAVA stack connected to CRM ABAP stack, client 010. The CRM ABAP stack connects to SAP ERP.
Q1: Is it possible to add a new client 020 in the ABAP stack of the CRM system?
Q2: I don't understand in CRM the connection between the JAVA and ABAP stack. If I add a new ABAP client 020, do I need to copy the JAVA stack/client also?
Who can help me guiding in which direction I have to go?
Note: We want to connect a non-SAP system to client 020.
Overview:
ERP ABAP (client 010) --> CRM ABAP (client 010) --> CRM JAVA stack
non-SAP (legacy system) --> CRM ABAP (client 020) --> CRM JAVA stack
Q3: What are the problems (challenges) I can expect?

Hi Rene,
I think it is not supporting multiple clients. Wait for some additional replies.

Connect CRM multiple clients to ECC

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have one Question regarding CRM->ECC connectivity.
Will it be possible to connect multiple clients of CRM to ECC ? Like more than one client can talk to ECC ?
Because in BW we can not connect multiple clients to source system ! does this true with CRM also or not ?
Thank you

1) As datasources are client independent so do we need to activate the datasources (like 2lis*) in all clients one by one? or just activating in one client will make it ?
You need to activate the datasources individually for all the client. If you will activate in one client, it will be specific to that only
) If we replicate the datasources for new clients in BW side and then want to reload the data from New clients (set-up tables filling and INIT)?would it have an affect on existing deltas (for datasources 2lis*)for existing Source client 100? What shud be the precautions? How we can proceed?Please let us know your opinons plz
If you will replicate in one client system, it wont affect delta and init from other client.
One thing you can do, to identify data from different source systems, you can use source system compounding in your infoobjects. Make sure you are not loading data from both the client at the same time. it may lock the DSO and master data.

Several clients in CRM PCUI. Problems reusing the same iView for ValueHelp

Hi, all:
We are implementing a new scenario with PCUI (based on Case Management) and using the client number 400.
The problem is that this is the second scenario because there is an already customized scenario using client 200 of the CRM server and the same EP.
These are the symptoms:
a) Launching the application from the SAP_GUI (like a CRM BSP Application) the main screen and the value helps (pop-up windows) are working correctly.
b) Launching the application from a newly create BSP iView, the main screen appears correctly; but the pop-up windows are not working. These are the issues i have seen:
1.- The system object with the system alias SAP_CRM points to client 200.
2.- The iView that is called when the value help is clicked has the value SAP_CRM as the system alias. And it is accessing client 200 even thought the URL parameter sap-client=400 is passed to it.
I tried a workaround copying standard iView located in:
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/specialist/com.sap.pct.crm/com.sap.pct.crm.roles/com.sap.pct.crm.core.defaultservices/com.sap.pct.crm.core.valuehelp
to another location in Portal Content and changing the parameter system alias to SAP_CRM_400 (which is a correct system object pointing to client 400). But i don't know how to configure the search to use this iview instead of the standard one.
Can anyone help me with this workaround or with other solution to this problem?
Thank you,
Fran

Unable to define connector for multiple backend systems in BRM

Hi,
I am on GRCFND_A V.11 and SP04
I have multiple backend systems integrated with GRC box. So far I was using one backend connector as default one for role maintenance but it is not feasible if you have to create roles in variuos backend connected systems. I know one way to do so, i can keep changing the default connectors whenever i need to create roles but that is obviously not at all the onw any one would like to go with.
So, I tried to create unique connector groups for every individul backend connectors. But the issue is, the moment i assign the backend connector to the respective connector groups, the same gets reflected to other connector groups as well. So, whenever i either add or delete some of the connectors to any connector groups it gets modified/changed from all of the connector groups.
These are the backend connectors where i have to create roles from BRM whenever needed.
These are the connector groups:
I followed to the ink: GRC AC 10 BRM: Default Connectors with Multiple Back-end R/3 Systems , which is the same as mine issue, but not able to come to the solution point.
would appreciate for your quick response.
Thanks,
Ameet

Could anyone suggest solution to the above mentioned issue please?
