SAP Enterprise modelling by IDS Scheer vs. Visual/ Process composer

Hi,
This might sound very basic question. But Can anybody tell me what is the difference between SAP Enterprise modelling tool by IDS Scheer and Process Composer in NetWeaver. As far as my understanding, both are used for process modelling.
Thanks,
Tripti

IDS Scheer's ARIS (offered also by SAP as "Enterprise Modeling Applications") let's you create, communicate and maintain conceptual models of your organizations processes. They primary serve as 'live' documentation and focus on high level, company wide processes (e.g. "the procurement process").
NetWeaver BPM and the included process composer tool let's you model executable process extensions to SAP applications and run them as composite applications. You would use them to e.g. implement approval, collaboration, exception management, workflow etc.
Now both modelers work with "boxes and arrows" type of models, but their intent is different and they're usually applied by different people for different purposes.

SAP Enterprise Modeling Applications by IDS Scheer (ARIS)

Hi,
Does anyone know where to find the temporary license key for SAP Enterprise Modeling by IDS Scheer?
The documentation in the Service Marketplace directs you to the "download scope" - however I cannot find anything in the download software or in the download license keys areas of the Service Marketplace.

SAP HANA Modeling Sample end to end Project

Dear All,
I got trained on SAP HANA Modeling and BODS recently, and in process of learning SAP BO. My core is SAP EP and don't have indepth knowledge on SAP BI and Functional aspects.
I am working on few sample applications but I would like to do a Sample end to end project on real time scenarios/POC's.
Do you have any sample requirement documents that helps to do a end to end project(real time scenarios) . Does SAP store any piolet project requirement specs for public use which help to gain real time experience.
Kindly help me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeev Bikkani

hi look into this
Role of a Functional Consultant in an End To End Implementation
1. Functional consultant is expected to generate knowledge about the current business process, design current business flows, study current business processes and its complication, in all we can say getting through with current business setup. Flow diagrams and DFD are prepared, most of the time in Vision format, all this forms the part of AS IS document.
2. Everything configured has to be documented as per their categories in the form of predefined templates, these have to be then approved by the team leads or who ever the consultant is reporting to.
3. Mapping and GAP analysis is done for each module, I have seen people defining integration after mapping, gap analysis and configuration is done, but as per my experience in implementation, it is a simultaneous process.
4. Before starting configuring future business processes in SAP, the DFD/ERD are prepared, this documentation is called TO BE, which can be also siad as the result of mapping and gap analysis.
5. Sometimes Functional consultants are also expected to prepare test scripts for testing the configured scenarios.
6. End user manual and user training is also expected from F.Consultants.
The project normally starts off with a Kick off meeting in which the team size, team members, reporting system, responsibilities, duties, methodology, dates and schedules, working hours which have been predicided are formally defined.

Runtime error while using SAP Enterprise Connector in a J2EE Web Servlet

Hello,
I'm facing problems while trying to do a RFC call out of a Servlet.
I'm using Development Components (DCs) and my project setup is as follows:
Firstly I've created a DC of type J2EE/Web Module. This DC implements an absolutly simple servlet which has to do the RFC-Call.
The relevant code is:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
   JCO.Client jcoclient = JCO.createClient("010", "DV*****", "***", "DE", "ovd***", "01");
   jcoclient.connect();
   Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input input = new Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input();
   input.setAirline("LH");
   SAPProxies_PortType myproxy = new SAPProxies_PortType();
   myproxy.messageSpecifier.setJcoClient(jcoclient);
   try {
      Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Output output = myproxy.bapi_Flight_Getlist(input);
      BapisfldatType_List list = output.get_as_listFlight_List();
      int listsize = list.size();
      for (int i = 0; i < listsize; i++) {
         BapisfldatType elem = list.getBapisfldatType(i);
         response.getWriter().print("Date: " + elem.getArrdate() + '\t' + "Arrive: " + elem.getArrtime());
   } catch (Exception e) {
      response.getWriter().print(e.toString());
   jcoclient.disconnect();
The proxy for the RFC Module "BAPI_FLIGHT_GETLIST" - in this case the classes around "SAPProxies_PortType" were generated by NWDS ("SAP Enterprise Connector" Wizard).
I had to manually add following DCs as "Used DCs" to get my DC built:
com.sap.aii.proxy.framework (default)
com.sap.aii.util.misc (default)
com.sap.mw.jco (default)
So far, so good...
As a J2EE/Web module DC can't be deployed I've created a second DC of type J2EE/Enterprise Application and referenced the first DC. This DC is also built fine and can be deployed.
But... When I call my servlet I get following Error Message on the web browser:
The request cannot be processed.
Details:
com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.exceptions.ServletNotFoundException: Cannot load the requested servlet [LocalDevelopmentservletxxx.com/servlet/TestServlet].
Exception id: [000C295D60FB006F0000003600000EA8000461A05860B4BA]

I think it has something to do with the used DCs... but I don't know why the classes are not found after deployment. I also tried
to package the relevant jar-files from the used DCs into the EAR-File - but the I faced problems with the JCo
Thank you for any help.
Osman

Hi,
One thing that can be helpful is to add the references of the JAR files that you are adding as Used DC in the EAR.
This can be done by adding Library type References in the application-j2ee-engine.xml Deployment descriptor in the EAR project.
Following link will be helpful: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/83/82814282cfc153e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

How to find business process diagrams of SAP reference model

hello guys,
I am reading book 'SAP R/3 Business Blueprint: Understanding Enterprise Supply Chain Management' recently. In this book, the author shows many EPC process diagrams of SAP reference model,but how could I find the process diagrams in SAP system.
I google this 'SAP Reference model', and find transaction: SB09 Business Navigator-Process view. But I can not find this transaction in IDES4.7or ECC6 IDES.
Thanks.

SAP Enterprise Service Explorer 1.0 - Problem

Hi all,
i have installed the following:
Visual Studio 2005
SAP Enterprise Service Explorer 1.0
Configuration:
I'm not sure what's the right service registry url? I used http://<server>:<port>/sr
Basic Authentication
no proxy
Error:
Cannot connect to Service Registry. Make sure the URL and/or proxy values are valid
Any ideas?
regards
Edited by: Wolfgang Bauer on Jun 5, 2008 7:57 AM

Hi,
what about the service url?
I tested the following:
<server>:<port>/ESRegistryWS/BasicAuthConfig?wsdl&style=document&mode=standard
<server>:<port>/ServicesRegistrySiService/ServicesRegistrySiPort?wsdl&mode=ws_policy
Do i have to specify the server as ip address?
I have tested the services in WSNavigator successfully.
But in VS2005 nothing is working.
Error without proxy:
Cannot connect to the Service Registry. Make sure that all login parameters are valid.
Error with proxy:
Cannot connect to the Service Registry. Make sure the URL and/or proxy values are valid.
Without proxy sounds better because it seems that the system checks the user and password. But my user and password are not running in that configuration.
Via URL in the browser i have no problem to login to the service registry.

SAP Enterprise Services: Configuration Date

I need the configuration dates for SAP Enterprise Services.
Case: my team of APO BPXs has done an analysis of available SAP Enterprise Services using ES Workplace on March 4th. and 5th. But there was the update of APO from 5.0 to 7.0. Therefore I need the following information:
- Did my APO group use APO/SCM 5.0 or 7.0 on March 4th. and 5th.? (Where is the history of updates on SAP Servers, in particular on HU08).
- Where can I find a comprehensive list of the available SAP Enterprise Web Services with:
Date WS Configured (so my BPX can review and check only the new WSs. This is a paramount in order to recommend updates on existing SOA applications that use "home made" web services?)
Thanks a lot,

Question about SAP Enterprise Services Explorer 1.1

Hi ,
    1. I use dotnet connector before and now someone told me that I can use SAP Enterprise Services Explorer 1.1
        but when I download this app, it says '90 day evaluation ';
        what about after 90 days?
    2. another questions, our warehouse will perform a WTS<Warranty Tracking System> which needs scan some barcode,
        and our scanner's OS is Windows Mobile 5.0 which<Model:intermec 700C> can be developed in VS 2005.
       my question is can I develop a windows mobile application with using SAP Enterprise Services Explorer 1.1?

From a mobile PC application you can connect only webservice or you should have to develop you own RFC connector from zero.
the architecture I use for Pocket PC is some webservices hosted in a .net webserver. The pocket PC connects the .net webserver and my webserver used a RFC proxy. My RFC proxy is built with SAP .net connector, JCo, or Erp connect, a .net api for sap developped by a great guy ... [http://www.theobald-software.com/oe/cms/website.php?id=/en/index/products/erpconnect.htm|http://www.theobald-software.com/oe/cms/website.php?id=/en/index/products/erpconnect.htm]

SAP Enterprise Services Explorer License key

Hello,
How can I obtain a license key for the SAP Enterprise Services Explorer for Microsoft .NET ?
There was a message stating that it was a 90 day trial version when I downloaded the installation file.
We do have a license for SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2; but I can't find where to download a version that it's not trial or get a proper license key
(SAP Support Portal / Downloads / SAP Connectors or Keys and Requests)
Also I'd like to know what's the process to apply this license? It's my understanding that it only applies to the development machine. Is this assumption correct ?
Thank you!

Certified Associate SAP Enterprise Architect

Could anyone certified on 'Certified Associate SAP Enterprise Architect' give some guidelines to prepare for the exam? Would be great if you can share your experience on writing this exam.

I was able to clear this exam few months back . I have seen many people asking about this certification. There is so much to share in terms of experience, but here i would like to highlight few things:
First of all read through this exam and preparation courses here : [http://www12.sap.com/services/education/certification/certificationrole.epx?context=%5b%5bROLE_C_SOA_CER%5d%5d%7c]
This is neither an typical technical exam nor an functional domain specifc course. This mainly is about big SOA engagements in an organisation. Following are major areas of exam:
Concepts:
SOA history, the SOA overview, journey of SOA so far within SAP, how SAP has adopted SOA model in its practices and many more conceptual points in and around SOA.
SOA Engagement:
In SOA 200 course you will find different phases illustrating how should SOA transformation happen in any company based on several conditions. This also includes what is the best practice to convert an traditional running software enviornment to SOA oriented enviornment.
SOA Governance :
How to get engaged in effective SOA cycle and what rules/templates to follow.
Apart from concepts there are courses for real time studies on Provisioning and Consumption sides of SAP SOA.
Related to this you also need knowledge of SAP netweaver tools and how do these tools help in provisioning and consumption and in overall SOA practices.
In general, this is first level course for a person who wants to be an Enterprise Archictect. But I feel there would be a long way to go after this for anyone to become an SOA EA. This course forms a basis of understanding about the buzz word SOA and related scnearios. But a practical engagement is then necessary to move in the direction of an EA.
I think we are(should be) not allowed to come up with the question paper, but I can give you some hints on the pattern asked in this certification:
The questions are arranged mostly as per the chapters of different courses - SOA100, 200, 110 and Netweaver.
If you read whole SOA 200 it is easier to clear the certification exam because SOA 200 is the important part of whole learning. The major focus is on Introduction chapters of SOA and several definitions besides different phases (view/matrices/templates).
Netweaver topics are huge and it is not possible for anyone to cover all the stacks of Netweaver like PI, MDM, BI, Composition via CAF/CE..
which means that there can be some technical questions which will not be possible to answer unless you have worked on that area throughly. So its better to go with best knowledge on these topics before appearing in the exam or just leave on your luck otherwise ).
SOA100 is very interesting in reading and for understanding as well. The questions are very easy also to answer in this area.
I would say this course should be more considered as interesting learning and its not safe to leave any topic or chapter among these courses for exam as all the courses contribute to questions in the exam.
Hope it helps .

Configure SSO Connection from SAP Enterprise Portal to BOE Server

Hi Guys,
We recently installed a BOE Server and want to connect it to our SAP Enterprise Portal. What we need is just to display the Crystal Reports via Enterprise Portal. We have set up the following:
SAP EP with AD Authentication
SAP EP configured with SNC to SAP BI7 system
SAP BOE XI 3.1 - SAP Integration Kit
BOE Server configured with SAP Authentication via SAP BI7 System
We've also set up BOE IK iviews and URL iviews pointing to existing reports in BOE. However, when we access it from EP, it prompts for a username and login to BOE. Is there a way to configure these so that there is no prompt for login to BOE server and SSO is used? Is it also possible to have a service account (e.g. domain/crystal) that will run the reports in BOE everytime a user accesses a report from SAP EP?
Let me know if this is at all possible

Hi,
You should configure InfoView for SSO first, which required infoview.xml file modification, using windows AD default authentication. If you want to utilize the OpenDocument URL for iView then you also need to configure OpenDocument.xml file for SSO also. The SAP portal must have trust relation with the SAP BW server so the Windows AD token can be authenticate with SAP BW server.
If you want crystal user to run all the report then you will lose data security. It can be done by hard coding user name and password in the report properties and database logon but the SSO capability can be accomplished only by windows AD, SAP or LDAP.
For more details check BOXI Admin guide and SAP Integration Guide.
Thanks,
Muhammad

Performance issue of BI Reports in SAP Enterprise portal -in SAPNW2004s

Dear friends,
We are integrating BI Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 ( SAP NW- 2004s).The reports are running properly .But the issue here is reports are taking long time to open and leading it to performance effect.
Reports in BEX( Bi side) working lilttle better than EP platform.
And Even BI team is looking for ways to improve the performance.
Could you please share your ideas to implement in portal side to increase the performance.
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar Reddy

Hello Mr. Reddy,
There are two possibilities for slow performance in BW reports, so we need to look into wether its slow in the BW system or at the frontend.
If the problem resides in the BW system then we should be able to trace the reports
and you can go for a SAP EW or GV sessin and SAP will provide recommendations.
If the problem resides at the frontend
Update the frontend servers to the latest frontend release.
Recommended Frontend Release 700
Recommended Frontend Patch 18
Update the frontend servers to the lates SAP GUI release as soon as possible.
Minimum Recommended SAP GUI Release 6.40
Your frontend PCs should fulfill the following requirements:
Each frontend PC should have 500 MHz and 128 MB main memory.
Because of a limit in the addressable memory, Windows 95 is not supported as Frontend OS for 3.X BW Systems. Please refer to SAP Notes 161993, 321973 and 366626 for details.
Please also check SAP Note 147519 "Maintenance strategy/ deadlines 'SAPGUI'".
If you still require any assistance from SAP support then raise a message under component ( probably BW-BEX-ET-WEB).
Provide your input, if you have any.
Thank you,
Tilak
