SAP CRM V1.2007 Best Practice

Hello,
we are preparing the installation of a new CRM 2007 system and we want to have a good demo system.
We are considering too options;
. SAP CRM IDES
. SAP CRM Best Practice
knwoing that we have an ERP 6.0 IDES system we want to connect to.
The Best Practice seems to have a lot of preconfigured scenarios that will not be available in the IDES system (known as the "SAP all in one").
How can we start the automatic installation of the scenarios (with solution builder) connecting to the ERP IDES system?
Reading the BP Quick guide, it is mentioned that in order to have the full BP installation we need to have a ERP system with another Best Practice package.
Will the pre customized IDES data in ERP be recognized in CRM?
In other words, is the IDES master data, transactional data and organizational structure the same as the Best Practice package one?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help
Benoit

Thanks a lot for your answer Padma Guda,
The difficult bit in this evaluation is that we don't know exactly the
difference between the IDES and the Best Practice. That is to say,
what is the advantage to have a CRM Best Practice connected to an ERP
IDES as opposed to a CRM IDES system connected to a ERP IDES system?
As I mentioned, we already have an ERP IDES installed as back end system.
I believe that if we decide to use the ERP IDES as the ERP back end, we will loose some of the advantage of having an ERP Best practice connected to an CRM best practice e.g. Sales area already mapped and known by the CRM system, ERP master data already available in CRM, transactional data already mapped, pricing data already mapped etc.
Is that righ? Or do we have to do an initial load of ERP in all cases?

Creating Billing Unit in CRM V1.2007 Best Practices C05

Hi,
in C05 (Org Model with HR Integration) for Best Practices V1.2007 I have to create a Billing Unit.
That means, I have to create a Corporate Account.
For Creation of the Corporate Account i need a Number Range and a Grouping.
My Question:
Maintaining Number Range and Grouping for Business Partners is described in C03.
In the Solution Builder C03 comes after C05.
So I have first to finish C03 manually via SPRO or at least I have to maintain a Number Range and a Grouping so that I´m able to create the Billing Unit as an Corporate Account and then proceed with C05?

Internet Sales application 2007 - Best Practice

Hi Gurus
Has anyone completed a successful CRM 2007 Internet Sales (ISA not ICSS) configuration exercise.
If anyone has completed the set-up please could you inform me of the documents you referenced in order to achieve this.
Many Thanks
Babu.

SAP has confirmed to me that there is NOT a CRM6/7 ISA Best Practices guide.
We used the C14_BB_ConfigGuide from our CRM4 Best Practices install and made some assumptions on what had changed. I do not think this is still available here and am not sure if I am able to send it to anyone. Someone from SAP or an Admin can tell us.
I also found here the following docs that have bits and pieces of the puzzle.
ECO_Authorizations.CRM5.0 - I think I found this on Sateesh's site, but probably a link around here for it. - CRM E-Commerce Authorizations
Release 5.0

SAP GUI Roll Out Best Practice

I was wondering what is the best practice for rolling out a new SAP GUI. My plan is to upgrade our IT Department, and Super Users with the upgraded GUI and see if any errors/problems occur. If I don't have any major issues I would roll out to the User Community after about two/three weeks.
Is this typical practice ? I have heard other Professionals say to just roll the GUI out, and don't worry about testing it ? and I have heard other companies etc.. do a set of testing scripts etc..
Any feedback appreciated. - Thanks.

Hi,
yes I have done it on our company for years.
once new released or new patch of SAPGUI is launched, I will ask my SAP Functional, ABAP and BASIS mates to try it for a month with various report and transaction variation for standard and Z-tcodes, for dialog and background processing, printing, and export and import data.
After my IT-SAP mates feels that SAPGUI is ready to be used, I will launched it to all user in another department and keep to listen any feedback from them regarding this SAPGUI.
hope it help you.
rgds,
Alfonsus Guritno

CRM 2007 - Best Practice C72 - FTP & HTTP Destinations

Hi Gurus
I'm busy with configuring our Internet Sale and am now stuck on this issue.
In C74 under Index 3.1.2.1 3.1.2.1
          Creating RFC Destination for FTP and HTTP
When I run program RSFTP005 the 2 destinations are created perfectly.
When I run program RSHTTP05
          Destinations SAPHTTP is created perfectly
          However destination SAPHTTPA ends in error.
The Log is as follows:
SAPHTTP check
Check RFC destination SAPHTTP...
... OK.
Ping RFC destination SAPHTTP...
... OK.
Check RFC destination SAPHTTPA...
Destination incorrect. Delete
What could the issue be?
Maximum points for a solution as my client is waiting for this system.
Many Thanks

Hi
Resolved this by going to SM59 located the existing RFC Connection SAPHTTPA and deleted it.
Then reran SE38 as required for program RSHTTP05.
No issue

CRM datasource enhancement - best practice

Hi everyone,
For our reporting reqs, I checked CRM extractors and found that 0CRM_SRV_REQ_INCI_H would deliver us max. fields.
CRM Service Request Incident Header Data - Analytics - SAP Library
I need to enhance this with Z Date Types, Partner Functions fields.
Date Types (see screenshot) are configured in CRM customizing.
SAP delivered Date field SRV_RREADY-To doby is sending data to extractor's DUE_DATE field.
But Source table-field for DUE_DATE are not mentioned in above help.sap datasource link??
How to best enhance this extractor i.e. through BWA1 or typical way of RSA6-function enhancement??
If I use BWA1 then how to fill up Segment-Segment field under mapping tab?
Do I need to use CRM_BWA_FLOW BadI and write code or Is there SAP delivered FM which can fetch data for these Z Date types.
Thanks
Ahmad

Hi,
In general, we add enhanced field to extract structure by appending method.
later we can implement logic at COMD or by using BADI to fill the data for added field.
do test run at RSA3 and replicate into bw side.
About CMOD Logic, WIth help abap epxert you need to find relation between data source base tables and added field base table. then only we can fill data to into it.
Can we know what is your data source?
Which field you want add from which table?
Thanks

SAP ASE Best Practice latest update

Hello experts,
just wondering if somebody already reviewed thoroughly latest guide for best practices on SAP Sybase ASE?
I am talking about the document from note 1680803 - SYB: Migration to SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise - Best Practice (former note 1722359 - SYB: Running SAP applications on SAP ASE - Best Practice).
The guide for normal runtime operation was merged with the guide for migration, but there are some contradictory statements.
Apart from that the study case is again designed for server with huge memory and lot of CPU cores (so not so real case normally, I wonder who setup so often such huge servers...), I have found some inconsistencies.
E.g. in part "Reconfigure Engines and Parallel Processing", they talk about to limit ASE engines to 16, but the command configures 32.
alter thread pool syb_default_pool with thread count = 32, idle timeout = 2000
No change to the previous setup for migration. Is this just typo? I understand it should be 16, and then also number of network tasks for normal operation would be 4 (as mentioned in the beginning of guide that normally you set up 1 per 3-4 engnes). If this is not typo, then number of network tasks is wrong as it should be 8.
Also they introduced idle timeout, but only talking about ERP and possible lower value for Solman - does this mean that for BW you keep default value (which if I am not mistaken is 100)? As per ADM540 you should even decrease this timeout when SAP system is sharing server with database - I know that document is old, but is again contradictory, not saying that it is wrong, but not well explained.
If anybody checked new version of guide, please let me know, I think it is bit messed up and is bit difficult to distinguish what you should set up for migration case and what for normal operation case.
Thanks!
Regards,
Matus

Actually, quite a few customers run with that many engines/memory.   In fact, it is difficult these days to even buy a server with less than 128GB of memory and 16 cores/32 threads.    Pretty much the only time we see less is when the install is in a VM.   Interestingly, we had comments from the first version suggesting the numbers were not realistic given the typical size of systems being deployed were much larger....    In addition, in my experience with customers on SAP systems, they were not aware of how much memory was necessary to really support medium to large systems based on the configurations they were attempting.
I am sorry that you feel some of the examples are contradictory. You are correct in pointing out that the text refers to 16 engines and the example configures 32....   So yes, for that specific example, it should have been 16.
Secondly, not having seen ADM540, but I think there is a bit of a problem if they suggest that.   I my opinion (and I have spent a lifetime tuning ASE), the idle timeout for ERP and BW should likely both be 1000+ and 2000 is not unreasonable.   The comment in ADM540 is likely due to if ASE and a NW CI are sharing the same cores - e.g. you have a 4 core box and ASE is running on 2 cores (we will ignore threads for this discussion) and you have 30 NW worker processes - which obviously will need to bump ASE off the cpu in order to run.   This may be fine in a test/dev or even a solution manager system, but bumping ASE off the core is NOT a good thing for a production system. In fact, I would encourage using numactl or similar to fence off the the cores used for ASE from NW worker processes if at all possible.   We have seen cases of overloaded NW installations with multiple CI instances with hundreds of worker processes each starving cpu away from ASE......sooo....I would tend to actually be a bit more than firm on suggesting that 100 is a very bad starting point.   Given the number of client side joins that SAP uses to avoid [DBMS proprietary] temp tables, it is critical that ASE's (or any DBMS) response time be minimized as much as possible.....having ASE yield the core practically as soon as it gets done processing one task (and puts it to sleep pending an IO) just really causes things to run slow.   Think of a typical query that returns 10 rows - say wide enough that each row fills 1 packet.   If the packet transmit time (and client ACK) takes more than 100 microseconds on CPU (almost a given for network interactions...as clock ticks are in nanoseconds and networking is minimally milliseconds - 1000 microseconds), ASE would yield the CPU every time it sent a packet.    When the client wanted the next packet, the OS would have to wake up the ASE process (an interrupted sleep) which is a nasty heavy weight operation.   Hence it is best for ASE to hang out on the CPU until reasonably sure that nothing more is going to happen very soon....and on current cpus...and having it run for 1-2ms (1000-2000 microseconds) shouldn't be a hardship.     If you created a separate thread pool for batch worker processes, then I could see maybe using a lower idle timeout such as 200 or 250......100 is just plain too low in my mind...it is like saying ASE is expecting an odd query every few seconds vs. a steady workload. Basically at that level, there had better be a task in the ASE job queue or one on the way on the network already, or that engine is going to sleep.
While I state that with regards to ADM540 itself, I have not seen the class (perhaps)...one customer did show me the notebook of a class (ASE Sys Admin) they went to and it was really targeted at non-SAP installations more than SAP installations - from a reality/experience aspect.   Part of the issue with the class the customer showed me was it borrowed liberally from the old SY classes as a starting point, but at the point the class was developed there was not a lot of experience with running SAP installations on ASE to really point out the fine tweaking areas such as idle timeout.
However, the document was really aimed primarily at Business Suite vs. BW systems or a Solution Manager install (which are much smaller) - there are a lot of other considerations for BW the guide doesn't get into - although some of the sizing is a better start than the defaults provided by SAPINST
The former runtime guide essentially was just merged in to the Post-Migration Steps section.
May do a quick refresh in the near-future (due to some recent experiences), so if you have other specific examples of the text and SQL not aligning - please let me know.

Benchmark Your Best Practices through the ASUG/SAP Enablement Survey

One of the most frequent questions asked by companies implementing SAP is u201Chow do other companies get their employees ready to use the system?u201D They want to know how similar companies have addressed the most critical success factors for preparing and sustaining their end users for new technology deployment. SAP is consolidating knowledge of best practices used in the market through the ASUG and SAP Enablement Survey.
ASUG and SAP have teamed together to build a survey that will allow respondents to gain insight into how the market is addressing enablement, and how similar companies rate their achievements. All responses are consolidated to provide insight on enablement practices by industry, company size, region, budget allocation, and more. Individual responses remain confidential.
As a respondent you will receive a report outlining the most critical enablement practices implemented by comparable companies. The report provides specific insight about your enablement practice in relation to similar companies. Please take the time to complete this short survey (10-15 minutes) today. Your voice matters and we really appreciate you taking the time and completing the survey.

Hi ,
Please find my answers below:
1. The roles will be created in BW and should automatically appear in BO CMC Authentication SAP roles, if there is a connectivity setup between BO and BW irrespective of the SSO.The roles are transported by the BW security team.
2. Every environement will have a unique connection to the corresponding SAP BW environment.For example SAP BW DEV will be mapped to BO DEV, SAP BW PROD will be mapped to BO PROD.So these settings cannot be migrated through Promotion Management.
3.This authentication can be applied to all tools , the SSO does not depend on the tool ,it depends on the integration between two systems which in this case are BO and SAP BW
As mentioned earlier, after integration all tools can have SSO
You can refer to a lot of help documents on this site which will help you to setup the integration between SAP BW AND SAP BO.
Kind Regards,
Priyanka

Seaching for Best Practice links that work

Hi,
past few years I have been able to access SAP Best Practices documents like SAP Best Practices SAP Best Practices for CP and Wholesale Industries
(this one still works and guides me to the building block and process overview documents!).
Recently any link I can find to SAP Industry or Baseline Best Practices ends up with a dead link. See for example trying to get from here SAP Best Practices Baseline packages – SAP Help Portal Page
to Localized for Netherlands V1.607 SAP Best Practices package further below on that page, results in screen shot attached. I have seen that in many more examples (different countries, or in Industry Best Practice Packages instead of Country Baseline packages....)
Does any know whether and how SAP redesigned their access to Best Practices documents (Configuration Guides, eCatts, Scenario Process Overviews etc.?
Thanks for your reply.
Thijs

Hi, Thijs,
There is currently a problem with Best Practices on the Help Portal. On the home page of the portal (http://help.sap.com/) there is a message that reads "Stay Tuned - There are temporary problems when accessing some content types, for example PDF documents or Best Practices. We are working on a solution."
Our Wholesale Distribution industry group does not manage the Help Portal pages, so, unfortunately, I don't know the status of the problem or when it might be resolved.

Re engineering of existed process / Best Practice (customization)

Hi all of you,
We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0 for one of our clients. Client is asking us to compare their existed business process with Best Practice / standard process and based on the result, asking to prepare a GAP analysis between the existed and best practice for his business.
SAP itself is a best practice in the respective domains / business processes. By implementing SAP ERP, the client will have best practice for his business processes as I know. But thing is, how can I explain to the client that SAP has given the best practice and based on which, client will consider the SAP practice as Best Practice for the business??
Please give me a solution
Regards,
Ramki

f l,
I'm not sure deleting keys from the registry is ever a best practice, however Xcelsius has listings in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Business Objects > Xcelsius
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Business Objects > Suite 12.0 > Xcelsius
The current user folder holds temporary settings, such as how you've modified your interface.
The local machine folder holds more important information.
As always, it's recommended that you backup the registry and/or create a restore point before modifying or deleting any keys.
As for directories, the only directory Xcelsius uses is the one you install to. It also places some install logs in the temp directory, but they have no effect on the application.
