SAP Extended Configuration Management.

Hello all the Gurus of SAP.
I am Rajesh and very new to SAP NetWeaver DS. Well, After reading much on the Internet Sales( R/3) edition. I got to know that we have a ISA WAC Java components which are like templates that we can use.
My question is that how do I go about using the SAP XCM( extended Configuration Management). I could see that we can use the standard SAP settings for shop and b2b and b2c scenaries. I mean, after I copy the standard templates. Where do I see the "My applciation" as in where do I run it. I am not able to see it in SAP XCM.

Rajesh
The Extended Configuration Management is used for configuring web application
By Using it you can perform the following steps:
Go to Application Configurations - SAP and create an own web application configuration based on a SAP configuration.
From there you can also create component configurations.
You can have multiple web application configurations and assign them differently configured components.
Note: Not all applications support multiple web application configurations. Sometimes only general settings are supported.
For general settings go to General Settings - Customer. From there you can change settings having application scope.
Thanks

XCM(Extended Configuration Management) Read Only Access for Webshop

Hi,
We dont hav e XCM admin access in our project.We need to have just the view(read only) access.This will help us immensly during any troubleshooting. Plus we will save a lot of time while troubleshooting if the view access is avaialable to us. In case of any issues in the XCM setting, we can easily pin point the issue and ask the ERP team to change it. In absence of it we can only speculate what could have gone wrong on the XCM side. Is there any role in XCM so that we can get just read only access.

Hi,
The below note will help you.

Anything in SAP that suits software configuration Management profile..

Hi guys.....i am working as Software Configuration management engineer i want to know if there is anything in SAP (plz remenber my knowledge in SAP is zero!!!!!) that can add value to my domain.

Thank you very much for your answers!
@Pushkar:
No this is not exactly what I meant;
What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
- the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
- Branching / Merging mechanisms
- the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
- view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
Thank you for further help,

Jörg

Is there a way to configure managed properties on a superclass?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to set a managed property on a superclass of a managed bean rather than setting it on every single managed bean extending that superclass.
Here's a simple scenario. I've got an application scoped managed bean called "configuration" which holds (what a surprise) some configuration. It is configured like this:
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>configuration</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>myapp.model.ConfigurationModel</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>application</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
Now I want to use this bean from within some other request scoped managed beans (Let's say bean1 .. beanN). Of course I could inject the configuration bean into every single bean like this:
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>bean1</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>myapp.model.Bean1</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
          <managed-property>
               <property-name>configuration</property-name>
               <property-class>myapp.model.Configuration</property-class>
               <value>#{configuration}</value>
          </managed-property>
     </managed-bean>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>beanN</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>myapp.model.BeanN</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
          <managed-property>
               <property-name>configuration</property-name>
               <property-class>myapp.model.Configuration</property-class>
               <value>#{configuration}</value>
          </managed-property>
     </managed-bean>
The Java code of each bean would look like this:
     public class Bean1 {
          protected Configuration configuration;
          public void setConfiguration(Configuration aConfiguration) {
               configuration = aConfiguration;
     public class BeanN {
          protected Configuration configuration;
          public void setConfiguration(Configuration aConfiguration) {
               configuration = aConfiguration;
One enhancement of this approach obviously is to define a super class for the beans which holds the configuration variable and its setter to prevent duplicate code. This would look like this:
     public class SuperBean {
          protected Configuration configuration;
          public void setConfiguration(Configuration aConfiguration) {
               configuration = aConfiguration;
     public class Bean1 extends SuperBean {}
     public class BeanN extends SuperBean {}
And now for the real problem. I'd like to use the advantage of using a superclass in the Java code on the faces configuration aswell. That means, I'd like to define the dependency injection only once for all beans extending SuperBean and not for every single bean. Probably like this:
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-class>myapp.model.SuperBean</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-property>
               <property-name>configuration</property-name>
               <property-class>myapp.model.Configuration</property-class>
               <value>#{configuration}</value>
          </managed-property>
     </managed-bean>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>bean1</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>myapp.model.Bean1</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>beanN</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>myapp.model.BeanN</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
Of course this doesn't work because JSF does not lookup superclasses automatically. But I would be grateful if anyone has a solution or an idea for achieving this, because it would notably simplify the faces configuration.
These are the directions my own investigations took me so far:
- Using an "extends" attribute: <managed-bean extends="superbean">
This would be nice, but it would mean to use my own JSF implementation. I often use "extends" attributes on XML configurations, because it brings the pattern of inheritance with all its advantages to XML.
- Right now I'm checking if a custom PropertyResolver could do the trick.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Regards
Frank

There is no way in the default JSF implementation.
You may consider to replace the getter by the outcome of FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getApplicationMap().get("configuration"); This will return the application scoped managed bean instance with the managed bean name "configuration".

HOW TO CONFIGURE MANAGER or APPROVER USER IN ACCESS REQUEST MANAGEMENT TO APPROVE OR REJECT REQUEST

hi sap gurus,
i configured grc 10 system successfully. I created one user: GR_AR_APP001 and assign following roles:
SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_APPROVER
SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_REQUEST_ADMIN
SAP_GRC_FN_BASE
SAP_GRC_FN_NUSINESS_USER
and I maintained GR_AR_APP001 in access control owners as "POINT OF CONTACT", "SECURITY LEAD" and "WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR"
but when i am creating access request for new user and defining MANAGER under user details tab as GR_AR_APP001.
the user GR_AR_APP001 is not receiving any request for APPROVE or REJECT in his WORK INBOX.
can u please guide me how to configure APPROVER or MANAGER to approve or reject request.
I will be very much thankful if you guide me successfully.

Hi Colleen,
thanks a lot for your time.
PIC1: I created one user: GR_AR_APP001
and assigned all the GRC ROLES.
PIC2: I assigned owner type to GR_AR_APP001 user : POINT OF CONTACT, SECURITY LEAD and WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR in NWBC ACCESS CONTROL OWNERS
PIC3: I created one EUP 980 (copied from default EUP)
PIC4: I maintained default manager as GR_AR_APP001 user in 980 EUP
PIC5: I selected SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_REQUEST process id
PIC6: I created one agent id as ZGRAC_MANAGER11 in which I added approver user id: GR_AR_APP001
PIC7: I saved agent id
PIC8: I added agent id as ZGRAC_MANAGER11 in stage5 in manager stage.
PIC9: I saved
PIC10: I maintained EUP 980 (in which I configured manager as GR_AR_APP001 user) in stage 5 task settings
PIC11: Maintain Route Mapping, I clicked on next
PIC12 and PIC13: I saved and activated.
After this process I created one request for new account and selected the manager as GR_AR_APP001 and one request is created with request no 9000000030.
now I logged into system by user GR_AR_APP001 and checked, there is no request under his work inbox.
please guide me at least one procedure, how to receive request in approver work inbox so that I can learn other procedures to configure approver as per our organization requirement.
thanks for your support Colleen.

Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

Hi,
we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
- Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
-- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
-- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
-- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
- Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
- Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a 'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
Hope is the last to die...
Thank you very much for any feedback,
Regards,
Jörg

PAYMENT PROCESS TO SUPPLIERS WITH SAP VENDOR INVOICE MANAGEMENT BY OPENTEXT

Hello gurus i am trying to send and write data from sap process integration to SAP vendor invoice management by OPENTEXT ,
the overall steps im trying are:
FUNCTION:
ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE (ARC_DOC_ID)
ARCHIVE_CONNECTION INSERT (XML bound ARCDOC_ID)
/OPT/_VIM_START DOCPROCESS (VIM PROCESS INITIALIZATION)
here i expect that vim could fill the following tables:
OPT/VIM_1HEAD
OPT/VIM_ITEM
I realized some data is generated by example:
DOCID
DOCTYPE
AR_OBJECT
but the following fields are not filled for instance:
VBLN
LIFNR
....etc...
¿What kind of test / action/ SAP VIM configuration / development could i try in order to get the correct excution of vim process????
Regards!!!
Edited by: NWrscr on Aug 20, 2011 8:52 PM

Hi,
I did something similar and what I did is use the FM /OPT/VIM_START_DOC_PROCESS_EXT. The parameters I used are: ARCHIV_ID
ARCHIV_DOC_ID
CHANNEL_ID
EXTDATA_HEAD
EXTDATA_ITEM
IMG_DOC_ID
The extdata tabels are used for the "OCR" data. So you should connect to an OCR scenario and have the mapping done for OCR. If you don't have invoice data nothing will or can be filled off course.

Martin

Comparision between SAP Easy Document Management and MOSS2007

Hi,
Could anyone please guide what are the differet features available in SAP EASY DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT solution which are not present in MOSS2007.
I know both are very good and very robust solutions but i want to know which one is having better qualities.
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

hi,
Acually speeking yes all product have their own advantage and dis advantages also. but alsways but as consultant, we could refeiring Edms, coz,
The types of documents range from "documents" in proprietary SAP format typically stored in the SAP database (such as financial documents, purchase orders, closed master records) to documents usually created, viewed and/or edited by applications other than SAP, though they may have some significance or bearing on business processes within the SAP system
itself (for example, technical drawings referenced from bill of materials stored in the SAP database).
Also, we could use external content server to store enormose data with out affecting the performance. also her we could extend[scale up] Content server.
this is like similar to Windows, user need not know full SAP. even though can work EDMS.
By using EDMS, we can integrate to Logisic [SAP] copmonents.
Also by Interfacing with, third party applction software like Acad, UG, Lous note........etc
Further details please refer this url........

Software Configuration Management and Delivery

A client of ours wants to use Designer6i for software configuration management. We set it up, got it working, and have demonstrated such to the client. Oracle's documentation states the one missing piece in 6i is software delivery. Designer9i is supposed to have this piece. I have been searching the documentation and can't seem to find any information describing how it works in 9i. I have read that Oracle believes it's there, but have not found any good examples of how it does this. Has anyone else tried this or found documentation they can pass along? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your answers!

Software configuration management

Dear Gurus,
One of our customer wants to map Software code management into SAP or atleast link(interface) the configuration management tool with SAP. Have any of you worked in similar situation. Please throw some light on this area. Does SAP PLM have any relevant feature suitable for this?
Thanks & Regards
Prasad K

Hello Jirong,
I did a lot in the configuration management area related to EBS, in terms of concepts and practical implementations.
I would suggest that you take a look at the following material and afterwards, please contact me to clarify any question you might have.
https://blogs.oracle.com/ebs_customization_management/
In terms of technical solutions, I have worked a lot with Oracle AMS (ACMP), different consulting solutions, but also with non-commercial tools. So we will find a solution also together with RTC/IBM.
You can find me in linkedin.
