SAP CRM Groupware Integration - Create appointments on mobile phone.

Hi all
We have implemented the serverside groupware integration with CRM 2007 and Exchange.
Usually the appointments in Outlook are created with category
"CRM_ACT_001". Unfortunately some Mobile Phones (like the iPhone) are not
able to set the category of an appointment.
Our users usually create their Outlook appointments on their mobile.
So we had to customize the GWAdapter to let through all activities from
groupware (without filtering for the category).
To do so we changed the spro entry "Maintain Groupware Object Selectionand Retrieval":
- From: ACT Categories CRM_ACT*
- To: ACT Categories *
Unfortunately this causes a lot of problems:
- The category of the activity in CRM got deleted everytime you change the appointment in outlook.
- When you set a meeting in Outlook to "private" the activities in
CRM AND Outlook are deleted automatically.
Does anyone had similar problems? How can you synchronize the calender on the mobile phone with CRM?
Thanks in advance.
Marco

Checked the issue with SAP.
You cannot synchronize the appointments without giving an category. On iphone and most other smartphones you cannot chose a category.
Another "contra" of the CRM Groupware Integration....

  • CRM groupware integr: Mapping additional customer data

    Hi,
    we're running CRM groupware integration for replicating CRM contact persons to outlook private folder. This works fine in principle. However, I've got a question:
    When taking a look at an outlook contact one is able to maintain several phone numbers, e.g. "Business, Business2, Private, Private2, ..." as well as several mail addresses "E-Mail, E-Mail2, E-Mail3". By default the default phone number of the business parter in CRM is replicated to phone number "Business" in outlook. Same logic for mobile and fax number. Is there a way to replicate the other numbers and mail addresses (non-default) to the outlook contact and provide them under the corresponding fields (e.g. "Business2", "E-Mail2")?
    Thanks for any inputs & kind regards
    Wolfgang Mayer

    Hi Praveen,
    do you mean
    - the email addresses maintained in the standard address
    or
    - the default email address?
    The standard address is marked as BUT020-XDFADR, the default (standard) mail address (in the standard address) is marked as ADR6-FLGDEFAULT.
    Pls clarify this issue.
    Thanks & regards

  • SAP CRM Groupware Connector for Exchange on 64 Bit platform

    Hi All,
    We have successfully installed SAP CRM 5.0 on Windows 2003 x64 Server R2 SP2.
    OS, Database and SAP Kernel are all 64 Bit enabled.
    Now we are trying to install SAP CRM Groupware Connector on the same server.
    But we encounter problems with SAP Groupware Connector 2.1 for MS Exchange installer (setup.exe), which stops with the following error:
    Required Software missing:
    - MS SOAP Toolkit
    Installation cannot be continued !
    But SOAP Toolkit 3.0 definitely is installed.
    Obviously the Groupware Connector is still 32 Bit.
    It is the only available download in SAP Marketplace i could find.
    The CD is located in the same area where the CRM installation CDs can be downloaded.
    SAP does not differ between 32 Bit and 64 Bit versions.
    I'm wondering if it is possible, to run a 32 Bit Groupware Connector in a 64 Bit environment.
    Does anybody have experience with such a configuration ?
    Or is there a 64 Bit enabled version available for download ? Where can i find this version ?
    Thank you in advance.

    I got an answer from SAP Support:
    SAP still recommends to use 32-bit system OS in order to avoid any future confusions.
    So we have to install another 32 Bit Server only for the Groupware Connector.
    Thx for your interest.

    Hi Naveen,
    thanks for your detailed description. This is exactly the way how the Client GWI is getting set up. one little remark from my side on the steps.
    The user field are not required to be filled if you use Lotus Notes. this is only for the case of MS Outlook where you can start the synch from the OL Screen as well.
    The password field is not used with either groupware system. So you leave it blank and with the first replication run you are asked to type (and maybe save) your password. it is there as the application is shared with Mobiel sales as well and therfore we could not get rid of it.
    Supported platforms
    In general both the server and client GWI were tested with Lotus 8.0 and CRM 7.0.
    For server GWI Domino 8 is already supported for greater CRM 5.0, so should work with LD 8.0.
    The installation guide for GWI is available here ...

  • Issues in retrieving the Planning profiles in CRM from BW while doing CRM-BI Integration

    Dear Folks,
    We are in the process of doing the SAP CRM & BI Integration wrt Trade Promotion Mangement.
    For testing purposes, we tried to create a planning profile in BPS end i.e BW SEM system & trying to retrieve it from the CRM system using the below navigation.
    SPRO-->CRM--> Define Transaction types--> ZBPD is the transaction type we had created.
    And in Customizing Header level, in SEM Planning tab, trying to retrieve the Planning profile created in SAP SEM-BW.
    Tried to search in both ways i.e prefixing the 'zprofile' with /prf/zprofile but still CRM system is not reading the same from BW system.
    What ever the pre-requisites that are needed to be followed before doing all these, the same had been done in terms of creating the RFC Connections etc but still unable to retrieve the same.
    And also not finding any standard content in the form of Planning areas & profiles at BW end after installing the SEM BW component add on in BW system.
    Could you pls let us know what we are missing here.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    as a standard process , CRM uses the Replicated Master data from ECC .
    1) Customer record will be maintained in ECC ( T-code XD01), same will get replicated to CRM
         To view customer master in CRM, use T-code : BP
    2) Material master data maintained by MM module will be replicated to CRM
        To view Material master in CRM, use T-code : COMMPR01
        However Service masters can be created localy in CRM using COMMPR01.
    3) Employee Master datra maintained by HR module will be replicated and creates BP number in CRM.
         To view Employee BP master in CRM, use T-code : BP

  • MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

    21/11
    Gurus,
    I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
    I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
    Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
    1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
    2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
    Thanks again.
    Dear All,
    On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
    We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
    With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
    My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
    Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
    Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
    Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
    Thanks for your help and insights about this.

    Hi Chris,
        Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
        I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
        When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
       For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
       then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
       However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
       no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
       when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
       I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
       SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
       My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
       core source code is as:
       clear itab.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
        EXPORTING
          BUFFER = lv_datas
        IMPORTING

  • Email Integration VS Groupware Integration in CRM 4.0

    We have a requirement to replicate certain business activity types created in CRM thru' Portal interface to Lotus Notes as Calendar entries. We are in the process
    of configuring the Groupware integration part to accomplish this.
    The questions are...
    1) Do we have to download all account and their contacts from CRM into the public folder of Lotus Notes for the successful creation of CRM activities
    as Lotus Note Calendar entries?
    2) Can we filter the replication of activities to Lotus Notes by their transaction types?  We need to send only certain activity types to Lotus notes.
    We have lots of Email notifications to be sent to the company's Lotus Notes Email IDs as well as some external Email IDs. If an Action or Workflow is used
    for these Email notifications it is my understanding that the SMTP comes with SAP CRM will take care of this Email routing. The groupware integration is not a
    must for such Email notifications and it s required only for the replication of Activities to Lotus Notes. Please clarify.
    Please let me know the details of configuration or any cookbooks available for the configuration of Email Integration and Groupware integration in CRM 4.0.

    Hi,
    If you plan to use Server Side Groupware Integration then,
    1) Do we have to download all account and their contacts from CRM into the public folder of Lotus Notes for the successful creation of CRM activities
    as Lotus Note Calendar entries?
    >>The answer would be "YES".However we cannot download Business Activities in bulk to Groupware.The Business Activity has to be individually created and synchronized.
    2)Can we filter the replication of activities to Lotus Notes by their transaction types? We need to send only certain activity types to Lotus notes.
    >>YES. This is possible by maintaining the used transaction type in the table view CRMV_ICAL_ACTM.
    Iam not sure about Email notifications.
    But you can create Activities in CRM and invite attendees and these attendees will get the Meeting requests provided the "Calendar Maintenance" flag is set for them.
    For more information please check "Groupware Integration Setup and Load Guide" available in help.sap.com.
    Please read through SAP Note 908571 for more technical information.

  • Groupware :  SAP CRM 4.0 to MS outlook (Public Folder)

    Hi all,
    We are trying to get the groupware integration working and have been running into some issues.
    Currently i am able to send BPs from SAP CRM to MS Outlook  (public contact folder)

    Any direct would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • CRM 5.2 groupware integration error....

    Hi,
    I've set up Server side groupware integration of CRM 5.2 with MS outlook. The BPs are getting exchanged from CRM to Outlook and vice versa.
    Activities and Tasks are flowing from CRM to Outlook.
    But when Outlook tasks and activities are saved, the connector creates an error dump file. This is created for new tasks and activities as well as for any changes to tasks and activities with source as CRM.
    The error message is:
    <subject>Organizer's mail id is not mapped to a business partner in CRM online</subject>
    <description>Organizer's mail id is not mapped to a business partner in CRM online</description>
    The employee is maintained in Org Structure with email ID. Are there any other setting to be maintained for email ID mapping??
    Thanks!
    Cheers,
    Aarthi.

    Pls check the following:
    1) Check Groupware Connector locks:
    Check the Current Locks in the AdminTool.exe, that is available in the Connector installation folder. Check if the current user (from which the appointment or contact change is triggered) is locked. If the user is locked, attempt unlock user, however if the user continues to be in the locked state, report the problem to the components EP-KM-CRM-EXC (MS Exchange) or EP-KM-CRM-LOT (Lotus Domino).
    2) Check UserList.xml:
    Open the UserList.xml, that is available in the connector installation folder and check  the availability of the current useru2019s id (SMTP  address of the organizer from which the appointment or contact change is triggered).
    If the user id does not exist in the file, provide an update for the corresponding Business Partner from CRM. Before giving the update check if the smtp address is assigned for that partner in the Address Dependent Communication section. If not, assign the correct email address and provide an update for the Business partner, After that update check if the id is included in this file.
    u2022     If the ID is included in UserList.xml, restart the connector service and provide an update for that appointment or contact in groupware and check if this is transferred to CRM.
    u2022     If the ID is not included in the UserList.xml, even after the update of Business Partner from CRM, report the problem to the CRM-MW-GWI-GWA component.
    3) Check Applist.xml:
    a)     Open the Applist.xml, that is available in the connector installation folder and check the availability of appid=ACT.
    If that is not available,
    Navigate to the u201CMaintain Groupware Object Selection Fieldsu201D and u201CMaintain Groupware Object Selection and Retrievalu201D IMG views, and check if ACT is available there. If not, maintain BUPA information over there. And trigger the download of  GWA_GWO_SELRET. (To get help regarding this, refer the Groupware Integration setup and load guide). After that download is complete, restart the connector service. After that, check if ACT is available in applist.xml. If not, report the problem to CRM-MW-GWI-GWA component.
    b)     Check if the category you have entered in the category field of the Appointment or Task, starts with CRM_ACT. If not, prefix the category with CRM_ACT. (To create Master category list, refer the Groupware Integration setup and load guide)
    3) Check Email ID u2013 USERLIST mapping:
    Select  the email ID of the organizer in the Appointment or Task. Navigate to the MBMANDTSTORE table, and select the record for which MBKEY = {email-id} (all the email Ids will be present in Upper case) and MBGROUP = u2018USERLSITu2019.
    u2022     If the record does not exist, check if the Email ID is assigned for that partner in the address dependent communication of the Business Partner master data. If not, assign the correct email ID and save this change in the Business Partner application. Check if this record can be found after this change.
    u2022     Otherwise report the problem to CRM-MW-GWI-GWA component.
