SAP HCM in ECC 6.0

Hello Gurus,
We are having 4.7 system where HR,Finance is running.Our Client needs the functionlity of ECC 6.0 for HCM module.Currently there are interested to implement ECC where they will be using only HR module & the finace will be there in the existing 4.7 system.Will it be possible to use SAP HCM in ECC with Finance in 4.7 system??If it works how to do that?Is it through SAP PI?

Hi,
The best solution would have been to upgrade the 4.7 system to ECC6 and to use Finance and HCM in the same system.
R/3 4.7 will soon be obsolete... So the ECC6 upgrade will anyway be needed soon.
If you absolutely need 2 systems , yes you can connect ECC6 HCM to R/3 4.7 through ALE/idocs. It is especially needed if you will do the payroll on the HCM system.

Olivier

To implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I have SAP ECC 6.0 system already implemented 2 years back.
I am planning to implement SAP HCM with OM, PA, SAP Time management, SAP PAYROLL in existing SAP ECC 6.0 system.
I have currently 3 system landscape for SAP ECC.
I would like to know what change/addition is required in above landscape to implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0
Do share your view.
Regards.

Hi.
As per you, Already designed Landscape. Why dont you follow you existing Landscape which is alredy proved for other modules.
Normally Dev/Quality/Production clients will there..
If more that depends upon flexibility in Each client and defining different business for testing and production interfaces purpose.
Better use Existing only remaining modules already sucessfully running in Production Right????

PI 7.1 enterprise services: How to find & invoke SAP HCM enterprise Service

Hi all,
in PI 7.1, i read, there is support of enterprice services.
is my current understandings right about PI 7.1 and enterprise services:
1.the standard BAPIs, standard RFC that were provided in R/3 are replaced by standard enterprise services in SAP ECC.
2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3.
I want to view how an enterprise service of any SAP module can be called by a nonSAP applicaiton.
are there any doc or blog which shows this.
is possible with/wihout PI.
We have follwoing things installed.
1. PI 7.1 SP4.
2. SAP ECC 6.0, i am dealing with SAP HCM module.
are there any enterprise services of HCM available (e.g standard enterprise services given by SAP for HCM module).
basically i want to test whether a nonSAP application like a java application, can it get some info using standard HCM enterprise services provided by SAP.
I explored esWorkplace (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace), but it does not display HCM related process components under the column "DISCOVER ENTERPRISE SERVICES".
thanks,
Madhu.

Help in getting into SAP HCM

Hi All,
I am very new to this community. I was earlier working as a SAP ABAP HR consultant. 6 months Back I did my certification in SAP HCM ECC 6.0 and started working as a techno functional consultant. To explore my self in this new dimension I need guidance in HR functional ground. I would request here to provide me your valuable suggestions how to approach. Also I request all of you to please share with me relevant documents/videos, if any. Materials (i am having certification materials) relevant to any SAP HCM sub modules would be of great help though I am currently working in payroll. my personal email id is deleted
Thanks & Regards,
Chandra

You know, asking for documentation and material isn't permitted on these forums. It's probably a good idea to check out the rules before beginning any new project.
what do you think?

FIM 2010 R2 Web Service Connector SAP HCM HTTP binding

Hi all,
I'm currently configuring the FIM web service connector to connect to a SAP HCM system.
I followed the documentation (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29943) to create the necessary web service on the SAP system. With the only difference that
I'm not able to select "None" (HTTP) under the Web Service Communication Security Settings as described in the documentation.
I had to select SSL and now get the following error message in the Web Service Configuration Tool.
Synchronization Service Manager
Following Endpoints are configured with unsupported binding:
- 'customBinding' binding for 'Z_IDM_CONNECTOR_SOAP12' endpoint
Please configure endpoint(s) with http binding only and refresh service(s).
Web service connector cannot be configured through Synchronization Service Manager if endpoint binding is not basic http.
Any help how to fix this is highly appreciated. I already can see the available BAPIs in the Web Service Configuration Tool. (In other words "Discovery" is working.)
I'll get the same error if I try to load the configration file into the Web Service Connector in the Sync Engine.
Thanks
Chris

Ok. I got that fixed by changeing the Transport Security to "None" in the Security Profile of the Service Definition.
I'm now facing a different error that you might be able to help.
I'm not able to add additional BAPIs to the SU_USER Function Group as described in the documentation because the "Plus" Button is missing in my screen. How can I add these BAPIs in order to use the Web Service Configuration Tool with the provided SAP ECC
6 configuration template?
Thanks

BW implementation for SAP HCM.

Dear Experts
I am on a new project where they need to do HR Data Migration from PeopleSoft (Legacy System) into SAP ECC. The Client wants me to implement SAP BW (New Implementation) doing the following Functional Areas for SAP HCM:
1. Personnel Administration
2. Learning Solution Online
3. Occupational Health & Safety
4. Leave
5. Time
6. Allowances
7. Position Management
8. Organizational Structures
9. Delegations
10. Competencies
11. Payroll
12. CATS
13. Business Intelligence
This is the scope of the project.
They were using just over 600 reports from the Legacy System.
Please let me know how long does it take developing an average of 25 Reports in each of the above mentioned areas (Area-wise) including ETL (Backend) Design in SAP BW? We are also looking at using Business Object Reporting Tools moving forwards.
What is the best order of implementation of above Functional Areas?
I am to start off with a SAP BW Solution Blueprint with As-Is, To-Be (Solution and Approach). Please let me know if there are better ideas.
Your time in very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Chandu

Hi chandra,
You first need to understand the requirement of the business first because if there are 600 reports in legacy system you no need to presume that you need to develop 600 coz of the multidimensional report of BI you can club so many requirements in to one report. And you have to decide, up to what extent the Business content reports would be helpful. If the BC report meets the requirement it is as simple as that to activate and use it. But if the BC report wont meet the business requirement then you need to estimate the efforts to develop. Here you need to keep in mind that the standard extractors would be fine or need to enhance or need to go for Generic extraction. And also the HCM reports are big tricky and lot of data issues would rise. By considering all this you need to plan the days of work to complete all the reports.
I hope you understood what i am trying to explain.
Thanks,

Obtaining the list of data interfaced out of SAP HCM

Hello,
we got a good challenge from our partners in the business organization that we support. The Data Privacy officer on the business partner side would like to know:
- what other systems are "takers" of the data from our SAP HCM instance
- what data pieces (what tables, fields...) are being interfaced out
- what is the frequency of that
We are trying to maintain the document whenever a new interface is being built but in practice you know how it looks like.In order to have 100% confidence in the anwser I would want to pull such list from the system. Is there a way to do that? What would you suggest?
Regards,
Pawel

Try the function below, pass the item name and get the Data provider for that particular item, you will have to do this for all the items in the template.
function getDPName(item){
     prop = SAPBWGetItemProp(item);
     var tableHidden=true;
     if (prop != null){
       for(i=1;i<prop.length;i++){
         if (prop<i>[0] == "DATA_PROVIDER")
               return prop<i>[1]
       }//end for
     }//end if
}//end function
Thanks.

How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

Hi,
How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving the message that Incorrect logon and password.
(Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
-B S B

Hi again:
I forget to tell.
You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
Hope this wil help,
Eric

Creating Datasource and Extracting from SAP R/3 ECC 6.0

Hello Gurus,
I am very new in BI field, I am learning through notes provided in this Blog.
Curretnly I need to know how we create Datasource at SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 (is there any difference b/t these?)
and how we may extract data from R/3 ECC 6.0 Source System.
Looking for your kind reply
Thanks in Advance
KK

You can use any specific Extractors to Create Data Source in R/3 side.
Let me explain with Generic Extraction
Goto SBIW--> you can see all the extractions here
Generic extractors are of 3 types:
1. Based on table/view
2. Based on Info set Query
3. Based on Function module
If you would like to create a custom table, then goto SE11>Select Table>Click on Create (Now create you own table here & use this table while creating Transaction data)
Goto RS02-->Select Transaction data.
Click on Create
Choose an application component to which the data source is to be assigned
Click on Generic Delta
Specify the Delta-Specific and the type for the field.
Specify a safety interval
Select Data type>Save> Now Data source was generated successfully
After generating the data source , you will find Delta Flag checked.
Please go through the following link for Generic Delta
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/84bf4d68-0601-0010-13b5-b062adbb3e33]
Once you've done with Data Source in R/3 side--> u need to Replicate it to BI
Goto RSA1>source system>Select the Source system in which u've created Data source>R.C select Data Source Overview>Select the Application Component to which Data source is assigned>R.C Select Replicate dataSorce>here you can see your NEW Data source
Hope it helps!

Error when creatibg a web service in SAP r/3 ecc 5, WebAS 640

We are trying to expose a BAPI (BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETSALESAREAS) as a web service on SAP R/3 ECC 5. web AS 640.
We created the virtual interface (Z_VI_CUSTOMER_BAPI)and the web service definition (Z_WSD_CUSTOMER_BAPI)from SE80. When we try to release the web service definition from WSCONFIG, we get an error saying:
"Error when creating web service(Web Service Definition Z_WSD_CUSTOMER_BAPI for SOAP application unbekannt)"
Please help...
Thanks,

Hi.
I think I must clarify my question.
The Web Service is not called inside SAP R/3 but externally. For testing pourpose I actually use WS Navigator and XMLSpy.
The method inside ABAP Server Proxy which is exposed as a Web Server in SAP R/3 system is the following. Note that the Web Service is Asynchronous.
METHOD zpi_ii_test_ws_4_in~test_ws_4_in.
DATA: lwa_zpi_test TYPE zpi_test.
lwa_zpi_test-mandt = input-mt_test-record-client.
lwa_zpi_test-bukrs = input-mt_test-record-company.
lwa_zpi_test-belnr = input-mt_test-record-document.
lwa_zpi_test-gjahr = input-mt_test-record-year.
INSERT zpi_test FROM lwa_zpi_test.
COMMIT WORK.
ENDMETHOD.
I have created another Web Service in SAP R/3 which is Synchronous, and the error does not occurs. The following is the method inside ABAP Server Proxy which is exposed as a Web Service in SAP R/3 system.
METHOD zpi_ii_test_ws_3_in~test_ws_3_in.
DATA: l_bukrs      TYPE bukrs,
        l_belnr      TYPE belnr_d,
        l_gjahr      TYPE gjahr,
        lr_belnr     TYPE RANGE OF belnr_d,
        lwa_zpi_test TYPE zpi_test.
l_bukrs = input-mt_req-msg+0(4).
l_gjahr = input-mt_req-msg+4(4).
SELECT MAX( belnr ) INTO l_belnr
    FROM zpi_test
    WHERE bukrs EQ l_bukrs
      AND belnr IN lr_belnr
      AND gjahr EQ l_gjahr.
IF l_belnr IS INITIAL.
    l_belnr = '4700000000'.
ELSE.
    l_belnr = l_belnr + 1.
ENDIF.
lwa_zpi_test-mandt = sy-mandt.
lwa_zpi_test-bukrs = l_bukrs.
lwa_zpi_test-belnr = l_belnr.
lwa_zpi_test-gjahr = l_gjahr.
INSERT zpi_test FROM lwa_zpi_test.
COMMIT WORK.
output-mt_resp-msg = l_belnr.

I hope to have clarified my question.

Dear All,what are the major issues in implementation in sap hcm

what are the major issues in implementation in SAP HCM project scope is PA ,OM,TIME, INDIA PAYROLL

Hi Ramjan,
Try to have a clear understanding of requirements and find the best solution in SAP. Keep as much as possible everything standard and based on SAP best practices.
In PA look for a comprehensive enterprise structure. It's base for everything.
DON"T do anything through development(ABAP code) as much as possible specially in PT and PY. Try to do claculation by PCRs and Schema.

How to Integrate SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 with XI3.0 or PI7.0

Hi,
I am having access to one SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 server through internet.
I have stand alone SAP Net weaver PI 7.0 installed on my laptop.I do not know how to integrate both ,I mean to say that what are the steps I need to follow so that two systems can talk to each other.
Appreciate your details.
Thanks and Regards,
Viswanath

Hi,
It will be possible to do all the configurations related to RFC destination and partner profile as the experties have mentioned in above posts.
You need to also check with the way you could be able to access the SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 server through internet.
When you establish a connection to a client through a destination, the HTTP connection must first be entered in transaction SM59.
There are two types of HTTP connection in transaction SM59: Call transaction SM59 to display the different RFC destinations.
The HTTP connection to the external server (connection type G) and the HTTP connection to the R/3 system (connection type H) are different only in their logon procedures. Their technical settings are the same. To display the technical settings, double-click a connection.
You can choose from three tabs. Under Technical Settings, you can specify the following:
·        Target Host: The host to which you want to connect.
Note that if you are using HTTPS as a protocol, you have to specify the full host name (with domain).
·        Service No.: Here, you specify the port. The destination host must of course be configured in such a way that the specified port understands the corresponding protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). See Parameterizing the ICM and the ICM Server Cache.
·        Path Prefix: At the time when the connection to this destination is initiated, the system inserts this sub-path before ~request_uri.
·        HTTP Proxy Options: Here, you can configure a proxy for HTTP connections: You can determine the proxy host and service, as well as users and passwords for the HTTP connection.
The tab page Logon/Security will be different depending on whether you have selected a HTTP connection to an external server (connection type G) or a HTTP connection to an R/3 system (connection type H).
HTTP Connection to an External Server (Connection Type G)
Choose the connection you want to use. You can choose from the following logon procedures:
·        No Logon: The server program does not request a user or password.
·        Basic Authentication: The server program requests a user and password. Basic Authentication is a standard HTTP method for authenticating users. When a user logs on to the target system, he or she provides a user ID and password as authentication. This information is then sent in a header variable as a Base 64-encoded string to the server, through the HTTP connection.
·        SSL Client Certificate: If you use client certificates for authentication, the client authentication is performed through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. In this case, you must also select the SSL Client PSE of the SAP Web AS that contains the relevant certificate for the authentication. The target system must handle the issuer of the SAP Web AS client certificate as a trusted system.
Under Logon/Security, you can also activate SSL to ensure that HTTPS is the protocol used (if you select SSL, make sure that the correct port is entered under Technical Settings). In the security transaction STRUST you can determine which type of SSL client is used. (Getting Started with the Trust Manager, Trust Manager).
The field Authorization for Destination has been implemented as an additional level of protection. We recommend that you specify a user and password for the RFC destination.
Thanks
Swarup

Differences between SAP R/3 ECC 6 & SAP R/3 4.6C in Material management mod

Dear Friends,
Please mail to me the differences between SAP R/3 ECC 6 & SAP R/3 4.6C in Material Material management module.
With regards

Hi Vasmi
There is lot of Diffenence Between ECC 6.0 & 4.6 C
1-in 4.6 C Country India Version(CIN) is add on Separatelly
while after 4.7 E up to ECC 6.0 CIN is integrated Part of SAP. that is the measure difference as per my knowledge
2-ECC 6.0 have more functionality in terms of transaction for example
if you do MIGO for PO then you can capture and post the excise invoice in the same transaction while in case of 4.6 C that feature is not available
these two are major as far as MM is concern
there are many others feature also
Thanks
