SAP LSO - PLATO Learning Integration

I am looking for some information on SAP LSO and PLATO Learning integration.
I would appreciate if some one could thro light on how to integrate SAP LSO with PLATO and what is the possibility of tracking the courses in LSO that are taken through PLATO.
For example if an employee of the company access a course on PLATO, then the tracking(Like what time the course is started, exited and duration of the course etc.) should be captured in LSO.

Hi Manny,
Thank you for your response.
Here i am talking about a direct integration with PLATO using XI. The user of the LSO may be redirected to PLATO and does his/her course or the content from PLATO will be downloaded into LSO and played for the user.
In either case i want to know the possibility of tracking the complete course.
Thanks,
Suresh

SAP LSO - Time Mgmt integration

Hello Gurus
Iu2019m working in a SAP environment where are managed companies in more countries and all companies are using SAP Learning Solution (ECC6.00 EhP4).
We are introducing a new country A, in which is managed company X, having 3 personnel subarea (PS1, PS2, PS3). In country A we are introducing SAP Time Management module too, to be integrated with SAP Learning Solution.
Since PS3 has a different mgmt in Time, we have defined 2 PS groupings, one for PS1 and PS2, and the other for PS3.
For the 2 PS groupings, we customized 2 attendance reasons for training:
0110 u2013 Training as attendee
0111 u2013 Training as instructor
Even if we have 2 different PS grouping, we need to maintain the same coding for absence and attendance reasons.
The integration SAP LSO and Time Mgmt has been activated and itu2019s perfectly working.
Unluckily, the requirement of the company X is to receive automatically attendance records from SAP LSO for the employees belonging to PS1 and PS2, but not to PS3, because all attendances and absences of employees in PS3 are coming via interface from an external system.
We canu2019t filter the 2 attendance reasons coming from this interface, because not all type of training is managed in SAP.
My questions are:
1. Do you know if it is possible to disable the SAP LSO integration for PS3? How can I do that?
2. There will be technical problem for countries not managing Time solution? Will SAP LSO try to send attendance records to Time also for these countries? How can I avoid that?
Many thanks for your help

Learning Portal for SAP LSO

Hi,
We are implementing SAP Learning Solutions in our org.
According to the information i read in the forum, apart from the R/3, Learning Portal is used on EP.
My understanding is :
The Learnign Portal is the entry point for Learners in SAP LSO. And one has to call the BSP application "HCM_LEARNING" from EP through a BSP iView and it will call the Learning Portal of LSO.
This learnig portal has features like,
Searching the course catalog, Book/cancel course participation etc.
is my understanding correct ?
I also want to know Is there any Web Dynpro for ABAP component also involved in Learning Portal or the BSP application HCM_LEARNING itself takes care of all the functionalities.
Please help.

Hi Rohit
Difference: SAP Learning Solution - Training and Event Manag
All of the settings required for the SAP Learning Solution are contained under SAP Learning Solution in the sections Training Management and Learning Portal and Authoring Environment.
The activities in the sections that follow do not apply to the SAP Learning Solution, but to Training and Event Management
LSO contains many additional functionalities and the portal is based on BSP Application.
In Authoring Environment, you can create course content or import the SCORM based contents in the same for playing in the content player. You have the options of offline player etc.
Customize the followup functions.
There is no Webdynpro involved in the learning portal however in EHP4 and above, the webdynpro is used in the
administrator portal and instructor portal and there are many new functionalities being added in EHP4 and above which is the latest developments.
Learning portals in all the releases is based on BSP Application HCM_LEARNING.
Below releases, you can have the ESS integrated via PV7i and PV8i.
Rest you can refer SAP help websites:
For TEM -

Hope this helps.

SAP LSO system to XI Integration

Hi Experts,
Currently i am working on SAP LSO system integration with External system(Skill soft) using PI.
Has anyone successfully used standard LSO XI services to integrate with external Learning vendors?Could you please give me the steps or let me know how you implemented the scenario( SAP LSO system--> XI -- > Web service).
Thanks in advance
Ankur

Hello All,
I am working on a similar scenario of LSO integration with Skillsoft via PI. I have already referred the PDF XI Configuration for SkillSoft Integration.
The flow of interface in my scenario is
Portal(FrontEnd) <-> ECC(BSP Application at Backend) <-> PI <---> External Learning Vendor(SkillSoft).
1) Commnication is from SAP LSO System to Third Party(Skill Soft) through PI(XI).
2) It will be synchronous call.
3 ) From portal user should be able to register, book,Lauch, or Track the course and will get response back to SAP LSO system/portal from Skill Soft.
4) Portal is the frontend and backend is the BSP application(HCM_Learning).
Can you please let me know the details how to handle this scenario and pass the parameters like customerid, assetid,courseid etc to PI(XI). Also let me know what would be the best approach to follow in this scenario..Is there any BAPI / RFC available for this scenario.
Please guide me how to pass data(like customerid, learnerid...etc) to PI from Once the user clicks to register/book/launch the course
Thanks

DMS Document Management from SAP LSO and IT1062

Hi Experts
I need to use the Knowledge Link Infotype (IT 1062) for linking to documents in the DMS for use from within SAP LSO.
I can upload the documents using Tx OAOR, but how do I add the link to the document in IT 1062?
Is there another way of uploading the document which I should be trying?
What is the best / easiest way to upload a document to DMS and also link to it in IT 1062?
Thanks in advance
Anton Kruse

HI Everyone
I`v done a research and i believe its better to do the standard way of managing contents for LSO.
Based on my finding its better to use Kpro(Knowledge provider) for this purpose. DMS and CMS Services both are Kpro Services when DMS uses(in standard way) for documents related to MM and CMS recommended for LSO.
CMS can link to KM(Knowledge management) and also using Authoring Environment you can manage all contents related to LSO.
AE allows you to use external Authoring Tools in order to provide eLearning. indeed you can use CMS repositories to store LSO Docs.
Since you may decide to give users an access to learning material it is a good idea to upload docs in a way that easily being accessible from web.
Integration between CMS and DMS is possible( refer to link below: Integration of CMS & DMS).
Authoring Environment:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ls200/helpdata/en/e6/c9e81df5ed11d5997000508b6b8b11/frameset.htm

LSO - XI - Skillsoft integration, how to launch external course

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a scenario where we are launching and tracking web based courses (Skill soft a third party).
Let me give you more details of my scenario.
1) Commnication is from SAP LSO System to Third Party(Skill Soft) through PI(XI).
2) We are following this approach - Client Proxy>XI>Web service(SkilSoft) and it will be synchronous call.
3 ) From portal user should be able to Lauch, or Track the course and will get response back to SAP LSO system/portal from Skill Soft.
For above approch we have copied a class CL_LSO_WS_XI into a custom and modifying its method to launch the course.
Now I need help on how to pass the parameters like customerid, assetid,courseid etc to PI(XI).
If anyone has worked on similar scenario and has reference code or reference material for modifying the method (of class CL_LSO_WS_XI ) to launch the course, please reply.
Thanks in advance.

SAP LSO V/s Successfactor LMS

Hey Guyz,
Short question to understand the difference between these tools.
In SAP LSO, there is an authoring and CMS environment attached to SAP LMS (training management, learning portal). In successfactor, there is a LMS solution (acquired from plateau previously). Also successfactor has solution called iContent.
Is Successfactor iConent an equivalent for SAP Authoring Environment/CMS tools ?
thnx in advance, Pramod

Please help! This entry is listed as possibly answered, but I do not see an answer to this post.
Could anyone please help me out with this issue? I've got the same questions.
Thanks all.

How to hide a field in WD ABAP in SAP LSO for privacy reasons?

Hi all,
For my current project, the business wants to implement SAP LSO (Learning).
They would like to have some small changes in the WebDynpro for ABAP iview "pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/specialist/com.sap.pct.erp.instructor.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.instructor.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.instructor.course_details".
For privacy reasons they want to make the field "Address of the participant" invisible via CTRL-rightmouse Click in Admin mode.
Various fields are done in the first screen, but when you click on the link "Participant XYZ", you get additional information of it.
I am not seeing any fields in Admin mode on that level. How can I make this happen for all users?
FYI: I can't find the "Address" field in the Element structure UI.
We can disable the link to the participant, but that's not what the business wants. Hopefully someone has the solution (without WD-developement actions please..)
Kind regards,
G. Leurs

Hello,
What you can do is the following:
Start the application in a 'normal' way, so not in the preview mode. Select the course, and copy/paste the url that is generated in notepad. Please note the following string:
ASSIGNED_AS=Docent&OBJID=50000716&OTYPE=E&PLVAR=01 (Values will differ on your system).
These are the input parameters of the WD Abap that gets called, which is lso_mc_admn_course_dtls. (The iView that gets called is pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/specialist/com.sap.pct.erp.instructor.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.instructor.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.instructor.course_details).
Start the Web Dynpro ABAP (you can do this through the backend with transaction SE80, choose Comp/Intf Web Dynpro, enter LSO_MC_ADMN_COURSE_DTLS for the Web Dynpro ABAP, then click open the Web Dynpro Applications bit, double click on lso_mc_admn_course_dtls. Then, from the top menu, select Web Dynpro Application --> Test --> Execute in Administration mode.
Now add the string that has something like ASSIGNED_AS right until PLVAR=## (the string I pasted up here in this answer). You're now in admin mode with the correct parameters, and you can change the app. Don't forget to transport the changes you made!

SAP Cloud for Customer & SAP ECC/CRM OnPremise integration using WebServices!

Hello All,
I would like to ask if anyone has really created a working integration scenario between a Cloud Solution & an ECC/CRM OnPremise solution?
We are trying to build some prototypes for this, however, due to connectivity errors/issues, unable to proceed.
I'm looking for information on:
> What certificates precisely are needed on both Cloud & OnPrem systems?
> What configuration if any is required on Cloud & OnPrem solution, except for communication system/arrangements on Cloud solution?
> Any use case if available from anyone which can demo integration between Cloud solution & ECC/CRM OnPremise solution.
I'd really appreciate responses on this.
Many Thanks
Ankur

Thanks Sathya for the response.
https://scn.sap.com/community/cloud/blog/2013/10/10/new-e-learning-for-i
ntegration-of-sap-cloud-for-customer-with-sap-erp-and-sa
p-crm-now-available : Not working! => Please check & confirm.
Just to give you our background...we are SAP Cloud Partners & VARs, hence we are building few prototypes for Customer Demos & POC.
Per my understanding, its just one of the OnPrem system, either an ECC OnPrem or CRM OnPrem that you can integrate with one C4C tenant at a time, i.e. to one single tenant. In our case, we are trying to integrate ECC OnPrem with C4C system.
We are in the process of deploying SAP PI as the middleware platform for integration between C4C & ECC/CRM OnPrem., which is going to take few more weeks.
SAP HCI will be the other approach, but we are currently not familiar with that, hence we have a trial to start in coming week for SAP HCI, so this is going to take some time as well.
Hence, WebService is the only currently available option for us to build these prototypes, POC for Customer Demos, to show working integration scenarios between ECC OnPrem & C4C system.
We have been facing some technical issues after setting up necessary communication systems/arrangements on C4C system & trying to do a WS call from SDK also we get error when we do a ping test from within C4C system to check connection.
Has SAP developed any WS integration between C4C & either of the ECC or CRM OnPrem system? Or is it just PI & HCI which SAP has for integration?
I'd truly appreciate if you can guide us on creating few integration scenarios (Working ones of course ) using Webservice between C4C & ECC OnPrem system.
Many Thanks

Third party CMS for SAP LSO

Hello all,
In the master guide for the ERP2005 it says that a Content Management system is required for the Learning Solution. We are planning to set up SAP LSO with a third party Content Management System. What is the minimum requirement for a third party CMS and is there any experience
with Micorsoft Office Sharepoint Service 2007 (MOSS2007) or IBM Content Management?
MOSS2007 seems to only support a subset of WebDAV
funcionality.

Hi,
I hope links like this are allowed with the new SDN rules. We use something called [Click Stream|http://www.sweetlets.com/click_stream.html].
Quite nifty little tool and not even expensive.

Help on setting up SAP LSO on ECC6 with EP

Hi fellow SAPians,
I would really appreciate if I can receive help on this.
We're currently exploring the SAP Discovery Server. I understand that
SAP Learning Solution has taken over Training Management. Can I ask if
the image provided comes with Learning Portal, Content Player and
Authoring Environment? If they do, may I know how I can activate them
so that they can be displayed in portal? Is there any complete and comprehensive Step by Step SAP LSO 600 documentation that helps? All I could find were for
versions 100, 200 and 300.
I've tried the below pages but they can't be displayed:
http://server:ITSport/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hcm_learning/leso.htm
- Prompted for user ID to Web Application Server (ERP)
http://server:j2eeport/lms/mediator/config
- Page not found
Also, may I know if Learning Portal, Content Player and Authoring
Environment comes as standard with ECC6 and EP7?
Thank you.
Regards,
Damien

Hi Damien,
I do not believe that SAP Discovery Server will have much on Learning Solution. You would not have the Content Player or Authoring Environment.
Much of the LSO 600 documentation is found in service.sap.com. Go to https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/support
Select Release & Upgrade Info/Installation & Upgrade Guide. Under Installation & Upgrade Guides select SAP Business Suite Applications-SAP ERP-SAP ERP 6.0---Installation.
You will find some guides for LSO Authoring Environment, Content Player & Offline Player.
Since LSO 6.00 is part of ERP 6.0 (or ERP 2005), there are additional information in the installation guides under there that you will need to consult.
Additionally, you should consult https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/learningsolution. Under media library, you will find information on the Training management portion of LSO, the Authoring Environment and Learning Portal. There is a Configuration Guide there that is also very useful.
The Learning Portal is included in ECC 6.0. The Content Player which is a Java application needs to be installed separately as well as the Authoring Environment which is a desktop (client) application. But you should confirm with your SAP Account Executive about licenses for using LSO (there is/was a user and author license).
The SAP Enterprise Portal is an optional component and is not part of LSO per say. Customers can run the Learning Portal in their own intranet as the Learning Portal pages are just BSPs that sit in ERP (ECC) and can be accesses via a URL.
You can include the Learning Portal page in the EP using a delivered iView which is really pretty much empty since the pages come from ERP.
If this helps, don't forget to allocate the points.
Cheers,
Danielle

SAP LSO Reports Using BI

Dear All,
We have already implemented SAP LSO on SAP EP 7.3. We have SAP R/3 ehp4 and SAP EP 7.3 on separate stack. Now we insalled BI Java components to SAP EP 7.3 and installed BI ABAP Separately.
So now we have 3 servers SAP R/3 Abap, SAP BI Abap and SAP ( EP+BI) Java.
We have all our master data, transaction data on SAP R/3 Abap. SAP R/3 Abap is integrated with SAP ( EPBI) Java. Also we created system in SAP ( EPBI) Java to access BI Abap data.
How to call BI Reports on SAP ( EP+BI) Java.?
Regards,
Eben Joyson

Hi Venkadesh,
Thanks . Your reply was very helpful. I have one doubt.
We have implemented SAP LSO having SAP R/3 ABAP and SAP EP on separate stack. Now we added BI component to SAP EP and installed SAP BI ABAP separately. We established RFC connection between SAP R/3 ABAP (Client 300) and SAP BI ABAP (Client 350).
We have all our master and transaction data on SAP R/3 ABAP (Client 300) . Should we need to load all that in to SAP BI ABAP (Client 350).? If so, Can you please guide me through.
By the mean time, I will also refer some documents.
Regards,
Eben Joyson.

METADAT in SAP LSO Authoring Environment

Hi,
Can i know the importance and use of metadata in Authoring Environment in SAP LSO.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Piscian
The basic concept of any matadata is to provide Data for the data provided.
In LSO AE the Metadata helps to give two categories of data Internal and External although it is not mandatory to fill all the information on it, the more information you provide on the matadata fields the more better the maintenance of the data and helps in good and faster search for the content from the CMS.
If the content for E learning is more in no., various versions and multiple content designer working on it its better to maintain matadata.
For more information please refer to [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/01e73edcc12c9ce10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]
