Hello Gurus,
Could you'll suggest a site or link where I could get a better insight into the SAP R/3 and BW integration Landscape, i.e. how Data gets transferred from SAP R/3 to BW.
Thanks,
Sebastian

SAP Archive Link and DMS integration configuration

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have always come across that SAP DMS is very well integrated with SAP Archive link, is that means SAP Archive link can be used as an storage location for storing original application files, in normal DMS check in original CV01N transaction.
does this Archive link appear as an option to be selected to store the original application file at CV01N Transaction, just like we get DMS_C1_ST (default SAP) or any ZDMS_SC01/02 (customised Storage catagories for checking in originals.)
another side iam also comming across SAP Archive link is an entierly different Module and involves different transactions to store documents and original.and no where related to DMS.
iam not able to draw at any conclusion weather to suggest Archive link as an storage medium for DMS check in originals, as i have not used it earlier in DMS.
Can this SAP Archive Link server be used as an sole and single original applicaion file storing system for DMS?
if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused
please clarify.
Points awaiting for clarification.
Thanks and regards,
Shanti

Dear Hill,
Thanks for your response,
but my confusion is not yet solved.
let me put it in a better way,
1) You can store a document against a DIR with the GOS icon instead of in the originals area (called Document Archiving), i did not understand this solution please eloborate. where is this GOS icon in DIR,
2) There is one thing in menu path: Environment / check in archive.
so can we store originals in a Archive server directly by going in to the CV01N transaction.(iam not speaking about transferring Original already stored in a content server)
3) we are having a single archive server to Archive SAP data, can This SAP Archive server be used as an sole and single original file storing system for DMS Also?
4) if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused to suggest this solution, as the client is not kneen on buying a separate server to store DMS files.
please clarify.
Thanks and regards
Shanti

SAP HR Benefits and Payroll Integration

Hi All,
This is the first time i am posting in HR, i am new to HR Benefits, i need to configure the Benefits and Payroll Integration in my client. I don't know how to do that one, if any body have configuration steps or any article please share with me.
It really great help.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhi.

Hi,
Under SPRO -> Payroll -> Country Payroll -> Benefits, are the options u must configure.
Be sure to create wage types copying the standard ones.
In this case is better that you copy wage types from the standard option
In table V_T512Z, select infotype 0167 to see permitted wage types, your new wage type must be in this group.
Value of the wage type will be automatically taken from the benefits cost configuration.
You must assign a wage type for a plan.
Hope this helps,
Daniel

SAP Business Workflow and Webservice Integration

I have scenario in which I need to Integrate SAP Workflow with a Inhouse UI Application through Webservice.
Design:
I want to use the Workflow for Task management. However whenever user has to perform a event I want to push the work item into another inhouse application which has capability to invoke/receive webservice. The inhouse application should only perform user events and publish the message back to workflow. Work Item management will be done in SAP Workflow. I need to send the data container to and from SAP Workflow.
Is there any problem in the above design?
How can I achieve the same in SAP Workflow?
Can any one share the experience?

I would like to know as well about this, did you get an answer?
Thanks for any pointers.

SAP By Design and Google Integration

Hi,
We are planning to integrate SAP By Design with Google, which allows not only Google docs integration but the complete Google integration including Gmail, Calender, Google Apps etc., Could you please point us in the right direction on this? Any documentation on this is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepthi

Hi All,
Can some one please let me know if someone has tried to achieve this through API's or was able to integrate it in any other way? I have seen SAP BYD has API's which enables us to connect external applications to SAP system.
Kind Regards,
Deepthi

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...
Regards,
Jitesh Talreja

SAP Backend systems and SAP OPI Integration

Dear Experts
I have been reading many articles and blogs on Operational Process Intelligence but have couple of doubts regarding capturing events
from different backend systems
1. There is a Business workflow in ERP which we needs to be imported in SAP OPI. In one of the guides its mentioned that
"The ERP system needs to have the software component
SAP_BS_FND satisfying the below mentioned support package levels for various releases. ● 731: support package level 5 ● 730: support package level 4 ● 702: support package level 10 ● 701: support package level 12".
If a customer is not on SAP Business Suite and its only ERP installation then does this mean that we cannot import Business workflows in SAP OPI?
2. In lot of blogs its mentioned to use Process Observer in backend systems but what if client has not activated or using Process Observer in their landscape. What would be our options here to capture events ?
3. In SRM system we typically use Process Controlled workflows. Can these be imported directly in SAP OPI business scenario. Again assume there is no Process Observer here. Has anybody tried this?
Would be really great if I get clarity on these items
Regards
Rahul

Hello
Do you need to connect SAP R/3 users to ADS?
for that just follow SPRO setting of LDAP and customize your SAP system to access LDAP.
If you need to define HPUX users using ADS, It will require you the define login stack for HPUX.

Regarding A2A And B2B Integrations in SAP XI

Hi Experts,
I want to Know the Difference Between the A2A And B2B Integrations in XI.
Any one Can Please Explain me In General Words Using One Real Time Scenario.
Helpful ANS Will be Rewarded.
Regards
Khanna

Hi Rajesh ,
Today's business world is infinitely more complex than it was a long time ago.
Modern companies have a large number of applications that take care of
running the business. Such diverse applications weren't a problem initially
because they were meant to provide stand-alone, independent, and
automated functions. The result of this diversity was a collection of stovepipe
applications rather than a unified network of linked systems. But now, the
companies are realizing the utmost need to integrate these independent data
silos to leverage the information stored in them across the various vertical
and horizontal domains as well as surmount the ever-increasing costs of
building new applications.
And this is where an A2A Integration solution comes into the picture.
1>A2A Integration
A2A Integration is a collection of processes, software and hardware tools,
methodologies, and technologies. When implemented together, they have the
aim of consolidating, connecting, and organizing all the businesses computer
applications, data, and business processes (both legacy and new) into a
seamlessly interfaced framework of system components that allow real-time
exchange, management, and easy reformulation of the company's missioncritical
information and knowledge.
2> B2B Integration
B2B Integration is fundamentally about coordinating information among
businesses and their information systems.
In today's world with companies operating in a global business environment,
B2B Integration is a pre-requisite for them to remain competitive. They need
to come out of their shell and interact with their suppliers, partners, and
customers distributed throughout the world. B2B Integration enables a
company to focus on its core competencies and offload other services to
partners to gain efficiency and reduce cost.
For B2B integration in SAP Xi refer the following links .

Hi
If you are wanting to know how to configure ESSO to be used to logon to SAP applications then there is a guide in the helpfile of the admin console. Simply do a search for SAP.
In short ESSO-LM comes with a SAP helper object which needs to be selected on install. To enable the ESSO SAP helper to interact with SAP, the SAP server and the SAPGUI client need to be configured. The details for this are in the helpfile. If you have multiple SAP systems launched from the SAPGUI then this is the best method because it means ESSO can distinguish between the different SAP systems through matching screens
If you have only one SAP system and you do not want to configure the SAP server then you could use send keys and not use the SAP helper object at all.
Hope this helps
