SAP documentation

what are the things to note down for documentation on SAP projects

Arunraj,
That depends upon the client. Each project is different. Some clients require extremely detailed documentation, others ask for high level docs only, others prefer not to pay for any documentation, and do the documentation themselves. Ask the project manager what his expectations are. It should be made very clear before you even begin the project, and the decision should not be made by the consultant.
In addition to any formal project documentation, I also create daily personal journals for myself, which include every activity I perform and every thought process I make during the life of the project.

Sap Documentation and the Spirit of Open Source

Hi,
I have noticed that not all of SAP functions have documentation (for example in SAP CRM there are around 80.000 functions and many of them, I dare say most of them, have no documentation and I suppose this is the situation for all SAP solutions).
I spoke to someone from SAP and I was told that not all of them need to, as they are not supposed to be used by clients. I agree with this and moreover it would be a tedious process for SAP to do it now. But sometimes need arises to use this functions or at least know what they do.
And the standard search for Functions .....
One enters "dialog popup" in Short description and he gets nothing (in SAP CRM 3.1 SP06).
She/he has to enter "dialog Popup" and thus gets the function POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
It is LUDICROUS ! Need no say more !
I do have an idea, SAP community could help out.
If all the functions would be shared among the SAP developers from all over the world I mean those who would like to participate in this project - all functions will have documentation in less than 1 year.
Let's take as example - PHP:
Every function is documented and an example is given.
Also, developers from all over the world add their own comments for each function.
There is a .chm help file very easy to search
Plan:
There would be one main writer and one main reviewer for a function (I mean one could choose to do 100 functions, other 50, other 30, and so on).
Also, who wants could add his/hers comments.
Objective:
To have a documentation (.chm file) as comprehensive as possible about all the functions in SAP.
Is this plan feasible ? Are there any volunteers ?
Mihai

I can agree on some points but not others. First, let's agree that dialog popup and popup dialog are two different search strings. In SQL, this would produce "WHERE description like "%dialog popup%" which is clearly not equivalent to "%popup dialog%". However, I feel your pain. While the level of function docs is disappointing, how wonderful that we even have access to them at all! One of the best parts of SAP is the fact that I don't have to guess "how that works". I can go look and learn from the master code ... albeit slowly.
My understanding of German is non-existent. Therefore, much of the comments that are available in the functions are lost on me. That's a shame. I would like to see an effort to get readable English comments out of these valuable German comments. That' would take a native speaker's translation vs. a babelfish-like systran. They just don't cut it.
Docs: The level of SAP documentation in general, even for BAPIs, is appalling. Maybe I just don't know where it is but from what I've seen, even the most complex BAPI docs are not worth the space they take up.
Case in point: BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. This is a rather complex BAPI which can create all manner of sales documents. So let's say I want to build a configured sales order. Let's hit the BAPI documentation:
<i>If the item is configurable, you need to enter the configuration data in the ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF and ORDER_CFGS_VALUE tables.</i>
That's it. There might be a few more hints down the page but there are no examples, no "here's why you need to stick an A in field XYZ", etc. This is why I rely on reading code and trying to gets hints from poorly translated German comments. I generally get an answer but what a time waster that is! If SAP is claiming that they don't document all functions because they are not "supposed to be used by clients", then how about fully documenting the BAPIs at least? Those certainly ARE for use by clients. That's their main purpose.
As a concept, I agree with you. How to pull that off? Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable documenting any function that I've not had 1st hand experience with. Even still, I've only used about 20% of the sales order BAPI's capability. While that's 18% better than what SAP gives, I'm not sure I would be willing to take the time to document it given that I'm stretched to the max, in part, due to the lack of function docs! Catch-22.
Good luck with the idea. I'd like to see what other people's comments are. I'm hoping that I'm missing some key documentation resources. If nothing else comes from this thread, that would be great.
Maybe the SDN would provide a place/forum to store documentation that is created? Not a forum ... more like SAP notes (which can be a helpful source of docs sometimes BTW).
Thanks.

The SAP documentation "Experience"

Hi everybody,
I have a small problem with Adobe Document Services and so I need to check the configuration that I did.
I decided to use the last available documentation. Here is my experience on this specific case of documentation finding :
I started from the installation guide I used to install my J2EE system :
>SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 Java on Windows:
>MS SQL Server
>Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 1
OK, page 107, I can read :
>Perform manual configuration as described in the Adobe Document Services Configuration
>Guide at:
>http://help.sap.com/nw70 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Library (including Enhancement Package 1) English
>SAP NetWeaver Library Technology Consultantu2019s Guide Business Task Management Adobe Document Services
>(Configuration) Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide
Let's go to help.sap.com
Here I find first a list of important SAP notes.
The first one seems to be a must reading : 894009 Adobe document services: Configuration Guide (NW 7.0)
Let's go to read this note : I have to copy and paste the note number because the HTML link has not yet been invented at help.sap.com !
I now display the note which tells me that :
>The current version of the configuration guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is at the Internet address >http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe. Choose Installation & Configuration -> SAP Interactive Forms - Configuration Guides.
>We recommend you always use the newest version.
OK, let's go to www.sdn.sap.com
Of course the screens have changed since the note was written and I have to find by myself that the configuration guide is here :
System Administration --> ADS Configuration
When I click on ADS Configuration, I'm back at the help.sap.com page where I came from !
On this page I can read :
>Check the newest printable version of this Configuration Guide in the SAP Service Marketplace, available at >http://service.sap.com/adobe ® Media Library ® Documentation.
Ok, back to service.sap.com where I am welcomed by this great message :
>The content of your interest has been moved to the SAP Developer Network (SDN) Community within the SAP Community >Network.
>Please use the following link to access all information on SDN:
>http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/netweaver
>Please click to display the information about
>Adobe
>in a separate browser window.
If you click on the Adobe link, you get back to http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe !
So the loop has been looped twice and I have now got a headache !
I think there is a good space for documentation improvements from SAP, don't you think so ?
I propose that if you make the same kind of SAP documentation "experience", you can report here.
Exposing it might be a way to get improvements and to have fun too !
Cheers,
Olivier

You could have used the GuideFinder ... provided you were able to find the GuideFinder. I was not ... this is its [url|https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000186062009E].

Looking for SAP Documentation for B2B Adapater

Hi
I am looking for the following SAP documentation. I have the other documents in the series but cannot find those documents. Could anyone advise where these can be found?
Regards

Thanks Dieter,
I actually looked at my screen and saw the documentation link :-) So all downloaded now but I still can't find the documnetation I want. Specifically the learning guides. All the documents, and SAP help, are very straightforward guides. The learning series provides a more detailed overview into the functionality and a practical guide to the implementation.
The document ' SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration, business to business add-on 1.0 SP00 How to Proceed Guide' contains a reference to the documents I require at the back on Page 9. Yet they are knowwere to be found. Even in the Process Orchestration Resource Center: SAP B2B Add-on Wiki has some documents, but nothing that I actually need.
I think the only thing I can do is raise a customer message. Its so frustrating.
Regards
Rob

General Question about SAP Documentation. Where to find?

Hello,
I am relatively new in the SAP business and so I have some general questions about the SAP Documentation.
Often internet-links like
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf
are posted here by group members.
But where do these group members find these documents?
All I can see at help.sap.com is IDES (the model company created by SAP)and the WWW-version of the SAP-Bibliothek.
Were can I find these PDF-Files?
I would appreciate any hint and tip!
Thank you!
Kakue

thats true! i dont know how to find either. Everytime i need something i ask on the forum.
Here's a good link

PI installation questions ... which SAP documentation is correct?

Hi,
The PI 7.1 installation manual says to: a) perform the client copy, b) apply latest kernel and support packages, c) run the CTC wizard - in that order.
The guide "SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 Post-Installation Steps" (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60d2a693-9504-2b10-5ba7-82964bd8370e;jsessionid=(J2EE3414800)ID0145301350DB10255382475188625451End) echoes the advice on step a) before step c).
However, the SAP Note 1115280 that the PI 7.1 installation manual refers to, clearly states to do step c) before step a). It even includes an exclamation mark, albeit in brackets (!).
Does anyone know which is correct? Should it be step b), then c), then a) ?
The PI 7.1 installation manual (and some other SAP documentation that I've read) says that you can make the production client a copy of either client 000 or of client 001, but provides absolutely no basis for making this decision. What are the factors involved in making this decision? Does it even matter? If not, why this section in the manual?
Thanks for any help.
Mark

Hi Nagarjuna,
Many thanks for the information and reference to the Blog. Yes, that Blog does address my question but the SAP Note 1309239 also gives important information.
I think I see now why this has been confusing me. If I understand correctly, the situation is this:
A) If I am patching my NW PI 7.1 to a SP stack < SP08, then I should do first b) PATCH, then c) CTC, then a) COPY (according to SAP Note 1115280)
B) If I am patching my NW PI 7.1 to a SP stack >= SP08, then I should do first b) PATCH, then a) COPY, then b) CTC (according to SAP Note 1309239)
Either way, it seems that the PI 7.1 installation manual might be misleading to suggest that a) COPY be done before b) PATCH, as pointed out in the Blog that you referenced.
(In the same vein, I thought it would have been better to set-up the printing before setting up the background jobs; that way, the background jobs could have been configured to prepare output for the correct printer.)
Please correct me if I've misunderstood.
Thanks,
Mark

Managing Tariff:SAP documentation/cook book

Hi Experts,
I'm new to ISU. Share "Managing Tariff" process SAP documentation/cook book
Thanks in advance.
Moderator note - thread locked - no research done, imprecise question

Guess I answered the question myself by checking in the system:
For own containers, a resource of type Transportation Unit has to be created for each container (though the TM book says that those have no functionality anymore - apparently this is wrong/has been changed). There you can specify an equipment which provides physical properties to the resource.
In planning, you have to create Container Units (which, according to documentation, is a kind of Transportation unit, which is quite confusing because this is something different then the Transportation Unit ressource type mentioned above). For own containers, you assign a TU resource. For containers provided by the LSP, you just assign an equipment. Result is in both cases a container unit which can be "filled" with freight units, one having a link to a resource, the other not. Guess you can proceed equally from there on.
The connection between Event tracking of Container (as well as Trailer and Railcar) Units and assigned resources (of type Transportation Unit in the container case, of type Passive Vehicle in the other two cases) is explained in the EM guide on Ressource Tracking, which can be found here: Resource Tracking Scenario for SAP Transportation Management
Still, please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere, and feel free to make additions!

SAP Documentation BPC 10 - /CPMB/COPY

Hi,
I am looking for similar documentation as detailed below which is for 7.5 but for version 10?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/cf/1988ba92144fad92abb87df37bcd97/frameset.htm
I have checked the EPM guide but cant find it in there? Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Leo,
Unfortunately, the standard process chain documentation is missing for BPC NW 10. Advanced DM script instructions can be found in EPMofc_10_user_en.pdf but not chain parameters. You can use in most cases BPC NW 7.5 documentation or you can directly view the process chain and variant parameters in the transaction RSPC.
Vadim
P.S. Your link is pointing to BPC MS 7.5 help...

SAP documentation for working with BExRepositorySheet?

Can someone point me to where I can find some documentation for programmatically working with the BExRepositorySheet, in particular reading from and writing to the embedded XML script within that sheet.
As I wrote in an earlier thread (BEx 7.0 -- SAPBEXqueries hidden sheet gone -- where is the data stored now?), what I'm trying to do is re-program a very elaborate Excel VBA solution we built for BEx 3.5 to automate the processing of BEx reports by reading the stored variable values in the SAPBEXqueries sheet, but with that sheet gone in BEx 7.0 now, and all that meta-data being stored in BExRepositorySheet XML script instead, I need to be pointed in the right direction as to how to work with the BExRepositorySheet in BEx 7.0.
Thank you kindly for any information.

Hi Stephan,
please see link [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/WhatisWebAPI|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/WhatisWebAPI] that contains a reference to a 300+ pages PDF document describing the Web API commands. It is describing the ABAP Web Runtime for BW 3.5 which also exists in BW 7.0.
