SAP BCM - General Forum

Hello All,
I was trying to find a specify forum for SAP BCM - Business Communications Management.
Please correct me if I wrong but SDN don't have already a SAP BCM forum. Normally people put the questions under CRM components.
It would be useful to have a specific forum for this topic since BCM is another world... with a very different architecture.
It is possible to create this?
Waiting for your comments / corrections.
Best Regards,
Erick Ilarraza

Hello Erick,
You are correct, there is no SAP Business Communications Management specific forum yet.
We have identified a clear need for it and have already started our plans toward that.
Our goal is to have more BCM specific contents available in SDN in the future.
Kind Regards,

SAP BCM 6 +7 // OpenSSL vulnerability "Heartbleed"

Hi All,
Information on SAP BCM and Heartbleed:
The Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL (CVE-2014-0160) has received a significant amount of attention recently. While the discovered issue is specific to OpenSSL, customers might be wondering whether this affects SAP BCM product.
SAP BCM is not using OpenSSL and thus is not affected by the OpenSSL vulnerability. All versions of SAP BCM are using Windows’ implementation of SSL/TLS (called Secure Channel, a.k.a. SChannel) which is not impacted.

Hi Harish,
First of all - a disclaimer... I am a BCM consultant, and my company is heavily involved in BCM implementations, and turn-key BCM solutions... so I'm not going to say that you "must" have a BCM consultant
However, BCM implementation requires a different skillset from your typical Basis skillset. The most important thing is that the individual(s) implementing BCM has been trained by SAP and/or has previous experience - yes there are people out there with supurb skills that can figure anything out, and get it working... But getting the sizing, landscape and network right is extremely important so you also need access to someone with IP telephony skills/experience.
You will also want your voice team to become comfortable with managing and administering BCM as things like maintaining skills, queues, schedules, prompts, capacity, routing, IVR, etc. usually fall in their domain.
Hope that helps!
Sincerely,
Glenn

SAP Netweaver/General settings/Set Countries/Set Country-Specific Checks

Hi All,
following the customizing navigation:
SAP Netweaver/General settings/Set Countries/Set Country-Specific Checks
By the flag "Other data", I can activate the check of tax numbers.
So, SAP gives me an error message if a tax number filled in master data of customers or vendors is wrong.
I'd like to change the message in warning...
I've tried to do it, but without unsuccessfully.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks

Hello,
This is a cross client activity which is not directly available in the system in OBA5.
The error message that is AR191
You need to go to transaction code OBMSG and enter the message number in application area.
In case if you get a warning message at this time stating that: "Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted". In that case you need to check with your basis administration to allow the cross client settings in SCC4. Until you make necessary changes in SCC4, your OBMSG transaction code is in ONLY DISPLAY mode.
Application Area: AR
Message No.191
Allowed: W
Standard: E
Save your entries.
Now this is available in OBA5 and give the application area AR and enter the message number.
In Online and batch put the message number to W.
Save your entries.
Hope this solve your issue.
Regards,
Ravi

Is possible to Integrate SAP BCM with Third party?

Hello Everyone,
Some of you can tell me if Is possible to integrate SAP BCM with another solution IBM ITSM?
The integration would also have the screen pop up the same or similar to SAP CRM.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Rodrigo Lucas

Hi Rodrigo,
There is the ClientCOM interface!
The interface is an application programming interface (API) to a softphone client Communication
Desktop (CDT). This client application is based on the Microsoft Internet Explorer, and they can
handle telephone calls by using the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology.
This interface defines a subset of the events and commands that are important to third-party
developers. Currently it is used finding out who is calling, and making outbound calls, playing
files to outbound callers.
You can download ClientCOM interface document in SAP Marketplace.

Question: appcnf_UI_use_rtp_beep parameter in SAP BCM 7.0

Hi,
Please help where can I find the parameter in the SAP BCM 7.0, which in SAP BCM 6.0 describes:
appcnf_UI_use_rtp_beep
Application-specific => For advanced use only. Defines whether the RTP start signal is in use. The signal indicates that the voice connection is open. 0 = no, 1 = yes. The default value is 1.
Whether is there equivalent to this functionality in SAP BCM 7.0?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Hi
In version 7.0 the appcnf_UI_use_rtp_beep parameter has been hardcoded to value 1.
Thus, altering it would require you to customize the CDT code - please consider carefully before taking this approach.

Sizing for SAP BCM (Business Communication Management)

Hi All
We have to provide a server sizing to be used for SAP BCM (Business Communication Management) module which will be intergrated with SAP CRM and is to be used for call support. As far as we have reached, we require a Windows server and will host MS SQL database with an approx consumer data of 63 lacs consumers.
Please specify the sizing for this server
Thanks in advance
Lokesh

Sorry, forgot to ask how much physical memory you have on each host.
Let's split it to 2 topics.
1. For ECC, since OracleDB and non-unicode page which are the 2 major factors won't be changed, so I would think here we could just do a math, as long as host A has enough memory which is allocated for Oracle and ECC (extended memory) on host B to be added up.
2. For EP, memory tuning size is basically the same for HP JDK and SUN JDK, that each server node is allocated approximately 2.5GB RAM. Besides, 0.8-1GB RAM needs to be left for OS kernel. But in your case, host B is currently holding 200 users which is a big jump for host A(note: only active user quantity matters here).
That's fine if main physical memory is a little short for host A, utilizing multiple less powerful servers as 2nd tier application server to do the load balancing is also a solution with lower TCO.

Effan

Hi Cristian,
As peter mentioned, Please refer to SDK Online Help=>Content=>Degeloper Guide=>DI Server
In addition, you can the sample code of DI Server here:
<<...
SAPSAP Business One SDKSamplesDI Server>>
As regard to php sample, sorry we don't such sample so far.
Per php, I recommend you to B1WS, a web service wrapper of DI Server for only those 45 services objects. You can download B1WS here: SDK Tools Download:
SAP Business One Tools [original link is broken]
=>SAP Business One Web Services Wrapper Tool
From technical perspective, DI Server is based DCOM technology, I am not sure it is natively supported php. So you may think about wrapping DI server as web server with ASP.net, just like B1WS. php<=>web server<=>DI server

SAP BCM - IVR Implementation

Hello,
I am setting up an IVR on SAP BCM, which will perform some queries in external database and verbalization of these values. From what I saw in the "SAP BCM - IVR Administration Guide" I need to use the EXTERNALDATA state and SOAP state for these queries. But the documentation is unclear and does not exemplify these settings with practical models. Do you have examples of these configurations?
Grateful,

Hello, Rahat.
It's quiet offtopic of this thread. But I'll try to answer your questions.
Very clear step-by-step example installataion is described in an installation guide at http://service.sap.com/instguides under SAP Solution Extensions -> SAP Business Communication Management (BCM) -> BCM 6.0. There is "6.0 SP9 Example Installation.pdf" file. It'll give you first steps and ideas how to deal with SAP BCM.
About VoIP expertise... Actually, SAP BCM works perfectly without any external VoIP stuff (e.g. gateways, SIP-phones etc). You can make internal calls from softphone to softphone. But there is no real benefits without at least one E1/T1/J1 external connection. So you need at least VoIP gateway. Which needs to be configured by someone. There are lots of vendors and models of these gateways. And SAP official documentation doesn't cover them. So this someone-man needs to know what is going on there. Also you should remember about troubleshooting.
So I'd say that for setting up SAP BCM from Basis point of view you do not need any VoIP expertise at all.
But to make it works in the right way you must have at least basic knowledge of VoIP technology. It's already project implementation scope, not installatione one.
Hope this will help you.
