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.

  • 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: Validation of system (Pharma Industrie)

    Good morning everyone,
    I am currently implementing SAP LSO within a global template for a Pharma company. They want to validate the LSO part, but not the global template (PA, OM, etc.). Does anyone know if it would be acceptable from a validation perspective if we have LSO on a different system (validated) and connected via ALE to Core SAP HCM (not validated)? Does Core SAP HCM need to be then validated as well?
    Thanks,
    Nadja

    Hi Nadja,
    We are also in the process of validating LSO for compliance perspective. Our HR department is working with outside FDA compliance consultants and the direction we have got so far is , we need to only validate LMS, not core HR.
    But, it is always a good idea to check with FDA consultants before going ahead.
    Good luck with your validation work,
    Jaya

  • 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:

  • Custom error messages when booking traing in SAP LSO

    In SAP LSO i implemented the BADI IF_EX_LSO_CHECK_BOOKING~CHECK_BOOKING in the code i throw error message in the object ct_message_tab  of type DCMESSAGE.
    When the error is presented within the portal two things are not the way i want it.
    1. The error message can be up to 50 characters per message so i need to append more line to ct_message_tab, each line is presented with the read error symbol prior to the line. i want multiple lines with only one error symbol
    2.  I:001:000 Voor deze training hebben we aanvullende persoonsgegevens van je nodig.
    I:002:000 Geef hiervoor je akkoord op de disclaimer bij "Informatie" in dit leerportaal.
    I:003:000 Heb je vragen hierover? De cursusaanbieder beantwoordt ze graag.
    the message are presented with the message number and message id, I only want to display the the msgv1 to msgv3.
    Hope anyone got a clue.
    Finaly the next problem, when pre-booking a course only a SAP pre defined error is shown, so the custom ct_message_tab is not visible on this screen.
    I use following code three times because of maximum length of 50 characters per message line
          IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND lv_disclaimer IS INITIAL.
            lw_message_tab-msgid = '001'.
            lw_message_tab-msgty = 'E'.
         lw_message_tab-msgno = '1'.
            lw_message_tab-msgv1 = 'Voor deze training hebben we aanvullende'.
            lw_message_tab-msgv2 = 'persoonsgegevens  van je nodig.'.
            lw_message_tab-msgv3 = ''.
            lw_message_tab-msgv4 = ''.
            APPEND lw_message_tab  TO ct_message_tab.
            lw_message_tab-msgid = '002'.
            lw_message_tab-msgty = 'E'.
         lw_message_tab-msgno = '1'.
            lw_message_tab-msgv1 = 'Geef hiervoor je akkoord op de disclaimer'.
            lw_message_tab-msgv2 = 'bij "Informatie" in dit leerportaal.'.

            lw_message_tab-msgv4 = ''.
            APPEND lw_message_tab  TO ct_message_tab.

  • 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

  • Upgrade from Training and Events managment to SAP LSO

    Hi,
    We've upgraded from Training and Events management to SAP LSO 604 and during that process we have run the execute booking relationship harmonization node in IMG.
    We still have references to Business event groups and Business event type in themaster data catalog instead of Course groups and Course types. Are we missing something?
    Thanks,

    Hi Swathi,
    You have not missed anything, they  resemble the same both in TEM & LSO so dont worry.

  • 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!

  • 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 -
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/77/bff8ab4a2911d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

  • 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

  • SAP LSO a Ehp7 level - content player

    Hello Everybody,
    I have a question about LSO content player. What are the file formats that LSO content player accepts? HTML5/Flash any other? I have been searching for info on this but could not find any definitive info so far.
    then if I have a non-sap elearning tool that generates WBT content can I use that content within SAP LSO content player to be used within LSO specific WBT courses? Have you ever come across such a situation? If yes can you please provide any pointers/gotchas or share your experience please?
    Thanks everybody
    c.

    G'day Sid,
    thanks for your reply mate ... I did go through the note you mentioned before I put this post up,..
    can you please explain what "if correctly authored" means? my client has got a non-sap elearning tool which delivers training content. The requirement is to take this content and use it in LSO for web based trainings.
    My understanding to achieve the above is:
    1. You get LSO content player.(without the lso authoring environment)
    2. You have a content server on which you put the training content.
    3. you have a course type of WBT which can be scheduled to use the elearning content.
    4. an attendee to the course will be able to play this course through ess-NWBC, via the content player.
    5. lso then keeps track of the training progress and does an automatic follow-up.
    My assumptions are:
    1. at ehp7 level I do not need to worry about the authoring environemnt or publishing bit in LSO
    2. content player will work via nwbc.
    3. do i need offline content player? I think not right?
    Thanks so much mate for all the help you keep giving here in scn. Life would definitely be difficult on this site without you around. :-)
    cheers

  • SAP LSO historic load

    hi.
    I'm New in SAP LSO. My client is implementing SAP LSO for the first time and they want to load the historic courses that an employee has taken since 2 years ago to the present.
    I have tried to use transacion LSO_PV00 to create a call transaction. But never save the data in tables.
    Anyone could help me please?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi,
    Please create and run LSMW sessions for the following transactions :
    PV00 - Course Create (all historical events) -> If course types do not appear in training catalog first create them and assign to respective course groups.
    PV11 - Book Attendance
    PV12 - Firmly Book

  • 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,

    We have new naming conventions and new objects ids (no external IDs, but the numbers objects are given by migrating into the new system).
    Is LSMW the best way?
    Should we migrate objects (E;D;L;Q;QK;U;F;G ...) or should be set up the migration by Infotyp (IT1000, IT1001, etc.)?

    Can the gurus give some pointers on the following quries:

    1. How does the Collaboration Functionality Work in LSO Portal? Can you provide me a pointer for any documents or links the configuration and set up.
    2. I tried to install the LSOAE 6.00 in my PC. The Installation was successful but I am not able to open the application. I already have JDK 1.4.2 on my PC. Is there anything else that I need to do for opening the application?
    3. Can we link a PPT directly from the CMS without using the Authoring Environment? If so can you provide me the details on how this can be set up. ( Will the WBT functionality work without the Authoring Environment in SAP LSO).
    Please provide information.

    No you can't do that, U need to publish any content form AE only. So that u can update the Publisher Database.
    Manually u can have the content in CMS, but no tag to it for SAP or in AE. Repository
