ROS issue in SRM 7.0 with SAP EP

Hi Gurus,
I am on SRM 7.0 and have referred to several posts in this forum, in particular, these -
Re: Not able to transfer suppliers from ROS to EBP
Re: External Web Service setting for Supplier Registration ROS to EBP
I have been able to bring the potential supplier to ACCEPTED status, thereafter, I am trying to make the potential supplier available in the SRM system as a Bidder/ Vendor. I know this needs to be done from the "Business Partner from List" - however, I am not able to see "Business Partner from List" in SAP EP Strategic Purchaser or SRM Administrator tabs.
Here is all of what I have done in SRM Configuration - I dont have a separate ROS Client, which means, the SRM and ROS Clients are both 100 in my case. There is no SUS either.
- configured Sup. Reg. (select prod cat for regn, language, assign questionnaire to prod cat.)in SRM Client.
- activated ROS services in SRM Client.
- created a service user in SRM. This user has roles: SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEUSER & SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEVENDOR. This user is maintainted in SRM client BSP service ROS_SELF_REG in Log on Data with SRM client, user ID and password.
- created an external web service 'ROS' in SRM with type "Supplier Diretory" and defined standard call structure as follows:
      10   http://sapsrmabap.jiverry.com/sap/bc/bsp/sap/ros_prescreen/main.do   0 URL
      20   SAP-CLIENT   100    2 Fixed Value
      30   LOCALE         ENGLISH       2 Fixed Value
      40   User               SNR              2 Fixed Value
      50   PASSWORD   password    2 Fixed Value
      60   HOOK_URL    <BLANK>     4 Return URL
      70   ~OKCode        ADDI            2 Fixed Value
      80   ~target            _top             2 Fixed Value
      90   ~caller             CTLG           2 Fixed Value
- maintained the table BBP_MARKETP_INFO with Vendor root, Std. Purchasing Org and Currency
Please let me know what I am missing in the configuration or what I have incorrectly done thus far.

SNR,
Are you implementing ROS without SUS in one client?
I did face similar problem and Summer recommended me to change the SRM system from LOCAL to EBP_SUS (table BBP_BACKEND_DEST). Currently I am unable to try this on my system. Can you please try and let me know whether it works or not?
Did you manage to successfully complete this scenario?
I know XI is mandatory to change the potential supplieru2019s business partner status in ROS when they are accepted and transferred to EBP. Any idea what settings are required to perform.

Help with Apache Reverse Proxy configuration with SAP Portal and SAP Webgui

Dear Experts,

CFolders error in bid. Integration with SAP SRM

Hi All,
I have a problem with bids for bid invitation with collaborations. Cfolders installed as addon to SRM, SAP xRPM/cProjects/cFolders 4.50 (ABAP).
I have done the foll steps:
u2022 define a LS for cFolders( you have to duplicate SRM LS if it is on the same server)
u2022 define an RFC destination for this system (even if same as SRM) - We define RFC SRM
u2022 define a backend system of type cFolders in SRM SPRO
u2022 activate SICF cFolders service (with external alias)
u2022 user have the role SAP_CFX_USER assigned (to have collaboration access).
u2022 rfcuser have the role SAP_CFX_USER, SAP_CFX_COMP_CREATOR assigned
u2022 vendor have the role SAP_CFX_USER, SAP_CFX_COMP_CREATOR assigned
but as vendor try to create bid, he have dump "Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible"
" Runtime Errors OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED
Exception CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL

Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports

Hello --
We are on XI 3.1 with SAP BW and SSO. Some users are getting failures with this error message when they schedule a report to run:
"A database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901)."
It SEEMS as though the users are fine if they schedule the report to run immediately and have it run every hour (or less) after that. If they schedule it to run several hours from the time they are in the system, however, it looks like they begin getting failures around 8 hours after they were in the system. This would make sense from looking at the "InfoView and Central Management Console Session Management" document (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/405547f9-b840-2b10-44b5-8e17ff9e48a9&overridelayout=true) since a logon token expires after 8 hours, but since it is a scheduled report, and the user is not logged in through a browser, how is a token being passed? Is it captured and included when the report is scheduled? Would disabling logon tokens fix this issue? How is authentication handled here if they are disabled?
Thanks for any info
Casey

Hi Gurus
I am facing the exact same error.
However, we are not trying to schedule the WEBI report.
The user gets this error even when he is running on demand from the portal.
Here are the various steps tha twe have tried and still it doesnt work:
1) Refreshed and created new Universe connection
2) Bounced BOE server
3) Synced up the SSO timeout ticket to 8 hrs on all systems including BOE
4) Changed browsers
5) Removed cache, cookies etc
Please help.

Performance issues with SAP BPC 7.0/7.5 (SP06, 07, 08) NW

Hi Experts
There are some performance issues with SAP BPC 7.5/7.0 NW, users are saying they are not getting data or there are some issues while getting data from R/3 system or ECC 6.0. Then what things do I need to consider to check, such as what DataSources or Cubes I need to check? So, how to solve this issue?
What things I need to consider for SAP NW BI 7.0 u2013 SAP BPC 7.5 NW (SP06, 07, 08) Implementation?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Qadeer

Hi,
New SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
hope this will help you

SAP Sourcing 7.0 integration with SAP ERP - issue with SAP PI

Hi All,
We are integrating SAP Sourcing 7.0 with SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP PI 7.1 in middle. So the Sourcing will talk to PI and this intern will talk to ERP. Sourcing is on oracle 11g where as PI and ERP are on SQL 2008. All these 3 are on windows 2003 x64.
We are following the "Configuration Guide Integration of SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing 7.0" provided by SAP.
We have successfully configured Sourcing and PI systems as pe the document. In Sourcing, by using background jobs we are able to successfully generate files in "export" folder which is part of FTP directory.
However the issue is with PI, we configured the "configuration scenerio" in Integration builder and point all channels to the FTP folder in Sourcing. But PI is not picking up these files.
Is there any way to trigger this in PI system. Or do we need to do anything in sourcing itself.
Regards,
Siva.

Hello Siva,
I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
Let's see what other experts suggest.
Thanks,
Siva Kumar

Integrating with SAP SRM 4.0

Hi all,
I'm currently involved in an e-procurement project that will have to integrate SAP SRM 4.0 with the EAI solution of our company (webMethods).
As I don't know much about SRM 4.0 technology, I'd like to know the standard way of integration with SRM 4.0:
- Is SRM 4.0 capable of exposing IDocs?
- Is SRM 4.0 capable of invoking BAPIs?
- If so, how can a Purchase Order put into the arguments of the BAPI?
- Is SRM 4.0 compelled to talk with XML messages (particularly SOAP XI) or are IDocs and BAPIs a suitable solution?
- Is SRM 4.0 standard output xCBL?
- Can SRM 4.0 expose and invoke Web Services natively?
In other words, I'd like to know whether we are obliged to use the XI Content of SRM 4.0 in order to integrate with webMethods. We have already done integration with R/3 4.6 and we used IDocs with the SAP Adapter. We would like to capitalize on our previous experience and save us from having to assess the feasibility of an integration with SRM via XI.
Thank you in advance for all your answers.
Regards,
/ML

Hi Marcel,
Underlying technology is WAS (Web Application Server) which is an enhanced version of the middleware BASIS technology used by 46C. XI is a replacement for messaging platforms like webmethods, so if you are using webmethods with SAP adaptor you don't need to use XI because you are already using a messaging platform. Only reason you may want to use XI would be if you can build upon the XI content available to you. If you are not interested in the XI content then go ahead and use webmethods using SAP adaptor to connect to SRM. I don't see any problem in that.

Sanjeev

SAP EP 6.0 SP12 Integration with SAP SRM 4.0

Hi Buddys,
When I am trying to create system in SAP EP for the backend SAP SRM Server using SAP Wizard in SAP EP, and testing the connection with test connection option, test is always failing.
In system creation wizard (SAP system for dedicated application server), values for connector, user managemnet have been maintained as mentioned in How to guides for SAP EP and alias for system has been created.
SAP EP has been installed with option to use SAP Backend SRM Server for Users.After SAP EP Installation, all SAP users in back end SAP SRM can be seen in SAP EP.
Software versions:
SAP EP : EP 6.0 SP12
SAP J2EE Engine : J2EE engine 6.4 SP13
O/S : Windows 2003 Server
SAP SRM : SRM 4.0 on SAP WAS 6.4
Your help in this regard is much appreciated.
Regards,
Prasad

Hi Venkat,
When you create a system choose "SAP system using dedicated application server".
The minimum parameters for creating the system are
application host
Logical System Name -
Logon method - UIDPW
SAP System ID
SAP CLIENT
SAP System Number
server port
System NAme
System type - SAP_R3
user mapping type - admin, user
Create an alias, specify the userid and password for the system in Personalization and then do the test for the connection.
Even then if it fails you can go to Sys Admin--> Support --> Sap Application --> SAP Transaction
choose the system, specify the tcode, specify the gui type and hit go. If you execute the transaction code then the connection is OK.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Praveen

An issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4

We are having an issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4. We used to have SAP 4.6c and now we have 5.0. When we were on 4.6c, we used these COM components to logon and execute RFC calls and we had much success. Now that we are on 5.0, we cant seem to instance any SAP functions that have something to do with SAP Workflow. We have experienced this problem when using VB6 or .NET, but our existing code that always worked is in VB 6.0.
SAP Components used:
o     SAP Logon Control
o     SAP Function Control
o     Librfc32.dll
o     Other supporting C DLLs and/or COM object supplied with the SAP GUI installation.
For example, if we want to call the RFC ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, this code fails in VB6 when the Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction) line of code executes. Instead of returning an instance of the object ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT function, no object is created. In 6.2, SAP raises no errors, but the object we are trying to create is still Nothing. If we use 6.4, SAP raises an error SAP data type not supported via a message box and then the object is still = Nothing. Interestingly enough, the 6.2 GUI COM controls dont display the error dialog. The message box that is shown comes from the SAP Function COM Object "SAP.Functions" (wdtfuncs.ocx).
Now, what is interesting is if we use the same code to call a standard function or custom function that doesnt have anything to do with SAP Workflow, then the code works fine. Again, all of our code used to work just fine on an SAP 4.6 system.
Here is the code that fails:
    'SAP Logon control - object for creating connections to an SAP system
    Dim objSAPLogonCtrl As Object
    'SAP connection object
    Dim objConnection As Object
    'Object that will represent the SAP function called
    Dim objSAP As Object
    'SAP function control object - object factory for creating other SAP function objects
    Dim objFuncCtrl As Object
    'Create instance of an SAP logon conrol
    Set objSAPLogonCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Logoncontrol.1")
    'Create a connection object
    Set objConnection = objSAPLogonCtrl.NewConnection
    'Define connecion parameters
    objConnection.ApplicationServer = "sapvm"
    objConnection.SystemNumber = "00"
    objConnection.Client = "800"
    objConnection.User = "iissap"
    objConnection.Password = "tstadm"
    objConnection.Language = "E"
    objConnection.TraceLevel = 10
    'call the logon method of the connection object
    If objConnection.Logon(0, True) = False Then
        MsgBox Error
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'Create an instance of the SAP Function control object
    Set objFuncCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
    'Set the function control connection object
    Set objFuncCtrl.Connection = objConnection
    'Function name to be generated and called
    Dim strFunction As String
    strFunction = <b>"ARCHIV_PROCESS_RFCINPUT"</b>
    'Create an instance of the function defined in strFunction
    Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction)
    If objworkflow Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Could not create object " & strFunction
    Else
        MsgBox strFunction & " object created."
    End If
If anyone has seen anything like this or has any ideas, please help!

IBM POS with SAP Issue.

Dear Experts,
I am working at client site, have a peculiar issue please help by providing your suggessions or ideas to solve it.
Here is the Issue : Every time a Transaction is completed at the terminal the data will be written (Appended) to the PTLOGXXX.dat file where XXX resembles the Terminal Number, and once the EOD (End of Day) is run it triggers a DOS (basic) program in the IBM POS Server which converts the .dat files to .txt files and once the conversion happens it triggers the inbound.bat file which sends this PTLOGXXX.txt files to the Unix Server where the information will be spread across to the Oracle Database tables and then the IDOC Conversion happens and IDOC's are sent to the ERP (SAP IS Retail) system.
The issue is that the clients wants to make the system online and make sure that POS Transactions are being sent to SAP system at regular intervals, and secondly the Process of getting the txt files to be converted to IDOCu2019s is taking a lot of time (close to about 2 Hrs) and they wanted to reduce this time.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Riaz.

For your suggested solution are you considering using SAP PI? are there any SAP tools that let you fully integrate and read, in near real time, from an IBM POS 4690? everything I´ve read about (RDS Shopper Insight or Sales Analytics 4 Retail) deal with SAP POS.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CK/Exchange+Infrastructure+-+SAP+POS+Integration
I need to integrate an IBM POS 4690 in near real time and feed it into a HANA box, this customer is not an SAP ERP customer. Any ideas?

Raising Customer Messages with SAP OSS on BCS issues

Hi guys,
I'd be keen to know everyone's opinion on raising customer messages with SAP OSS, in particular on BCS.
Often I find that my colleagues are hesitant to raise a note with SAP because they think it either takes too long or they don't get a satisfactory answer.
Whereas as soon as I see something fishy, that I cannot explain I will check my logic once more, check on SDN, check existing OSS notes, then raise a Customer Message immediately (while I continue to investigate/test).
This is partly due to my experience that half the time I feel like a guinea pig in BCS, perhaps because BCS is not as widespread as other modules and i may be the first to try something so may be first to experience the problem.
The first line response (often from Shanghai) usually tries to send the message straight back but I find with a little persistence, clear (and irrefutable) documentation , you soon get through to the experts in Germany (or is it Czech Rep?) who actually understand the issue.
The client has paid a lot of money for the service through their SAP licensing and maintenance fees, so I have no qualms about 'reporting a product error' when I see one.
Also, I find a lot of BCS documentation is out of date, not updated as new releases/EHPs come out, eg I recently relied on the contents of OSS note 936590, which was wrong for BCS 604. So I raised a customer message and requested that they update it, which has now been done - this is too late for me but might help someone else.
Raising a Customer Message with OSS is not an excuse to avoid doing your job, but where there is a genuine error in BCS, I encourage others to raise OSS notes and persis with them until a satisfatcory response is received.

Concur with TheScotsman.
The situation is almost the same: the 1st line support (India) very often beat back the costomer message without going deep into the problem. However, if we persist and provide additional details (or when the message was made very professionally and bypassed the 1st line) the message was rerouted to consultants from Czeck Rep.). In this case the progress was significant. Since the client do not provide access to the system, in a couple of times we made a remote session: the support guy gave directions what to do in the system and where to look for some details. The problems were solved in a half an hour.

Unreleashed segment issue with SAP schema

Hi All,
We are trying to generate SAP schema in BizTalk 2010 and facing unreleased segment issue and discussed with SAP team whom suggested below ways. We were interacted with MSFT and no hotfix yet. Please guide me.
The provider/external should call IDOCTYPE_READ_COMPLETE in the following way:
- PI_RELEASE = ' ' => last existing segment version is returned
- PI_RELEASE not available in the interface => last released version
Which means: BizTalk needs to ensure the PI_RELEASE is not present in the call of the interface. This will allow pulling the last release version of the IDoc including not released segments.
Thanks, Raja MCTS BizTalk Server 2010, MCC If this answers your question please mark it accordingly

BizTalk does not support unreleased segments for Receive Operations.
As far as I know SAP 'locks' the segment types that have not been released and the LOB adapter of BizTalk cannot properly read those segments.
The SAP team should set a release on the IDOC types and segments you need.

BW Analyzer 3.x issue with SAP 7.1 Gui

BW Analyzer 3.x issue with SAP 7.1 Gui
After executing a BW worksheet and then "Selecting Filter Value" on a free Characteristic, The "Select Filter Value" Window pops up, but when you add or remove a characteristic it pops back to its original position. If you try a second time, the characteristic will stay, but when you click "OK" to re-execute the report the "Select Filter Value"Window does not close.
When you try to close the "Select Filter Value" Window, Excel error out and shuts down

Have you looked at OSS Notes. This may just be a 3.5 Analyzer ith a BI 70 server issue, or did this only begin to happen with a upgrade to e 7.10 gui?
The whole area of filters and variables with 3.5 Analyzer with BI 7.0 server has been shaky, so I'd look for Notes before I go down any reinstallion path.
