SAProuter and SAP services

Hi All.
Does SAPROUTER is a mandatory tool that must be configure to enable any SAP service, like SLM, EWA or SNOTE?
Does every customer need to have a SAPROUTER installation on their network?
What are the most important services SAPROUTER cannot provide to a customer if the security network team doesn't allow SAPROUTER use?
Can someone help me to provide some good reasons to ensure SAPROUTER is important to every SAP system installation, and most important to Solution Manager?
Kind regards.

SAProuter is necessary to enable the SAP support connect to your systems. Without an installed saprouter (one is enough, not one for each system) the support can't connect to your systems and hence can't help.
If you read your SAP support contract (you signed) you will see that an installed and working saprouter is part of it.

Remote connection using SAProuter and Service Connector

Hello everyone!
What I am trying to do is to connect to an SAP system of a client of ours.
This is what I have found out and what works -
I found out that for such a scenario a SAProuter and the Service Connector somewhow come into play. I worked with the SAProuter and could connect to a test IDES system in our company with the following router string -
/H/<localsystem_where_SAProuter_is_running>/H/<IP_of_IDES>/S/3200
This basically means that I would have to connect my SAProuter with the client's SAProuter and the client router would then pass on my connection to their SAP system like this -
/H/<mySAProuter>/H/<clientSAProuter>/S/<port_client_SAProuter>/W/<client_password_if_specified>
When this connection is established, I can access the client's SAP system through a SAPGui (Windows or Java) from my side using the connection string as specified above.
If this works, why do I need a service connector? What would it's function be?
Another question being - I have been told that a connection can also be established by using a connection from us to SAP and then from SAP to the client's SAP system (this has been suggested by the client). Where does this scenario fit in? If it is indeed possible, what do I need to do to make such a connection work?
I would appreciate it if someone answers who has actually worked on such a situation.
Bye!
Sameer

The service connector is used by SAP to automatically open your systems for customer messages; it's not relevant in the scenario you describe.
You can't use SAP's servers as a "stepping stone" to get to another customer's system.... you can directly link the two organizations by allowing the connections through both firewalls to specific saprouters at each end though:
CustA <> saprouter <> firewall <> INTERNET <> firewall <> saprouter <> CustB
It requires coordination between both customers and the use of saprouter strings in the SAPGUI configuration, as you've described.

Dear All,
I checked the Note # 877795: A handle leak in sapstartsrv results in accumulating open thread handles, in particular, when closing the connection to the client (SAP MC, sapcontrol, SAP MMC).
Applied Support Package level to 38 and solved the problem.
Thanks & Regards

Recreate SAP and database services in Windows

Hi!
I'm running my sandbox in a wmware enviroment and yesterday the C: partion got corrupted and I managed to "save" the other drives where the SAP and database are installed.
Is there any way to recreate the SAP and database services in another Windows installation? (manually or automatically)
That way I don't need to reinstall the whole system....and no there is no backup or snapshot since the system is not complete.
But if I get the database to start I should be able to do a backup and then do a new installation and import the backup!?
Thanks for any input
rollo

What is the database platform?
If it is SQL Server try attaching the data & log files to another instance SQL instance at the same release & patch level, if that works the database is intact so recovery should be possible.
From there rebuild your vmware box and treat the SAP install as though you are doing a 'system copy' so -
-Install & patch Win2003
-Install & patch SQL Server
-Install a 'blank' SAP Central Instance & update kernel
-Attach SQL database
-Use the SAP's SQL Migration tools to prepare DB & instance
-cross fingers & startsap
-make a backup
Check out http://servcie.sap.com/instguides for the System Copy guide that matches your release
If that helps please reward points
Cheers

MS Analysis Services and SAP BW

Hello!
I need to solve the following problem:
The data for analysis is kept in MS Analysis Services. That data must be exported from it to BW.
But the primary task is to create appropriate InfoCubes in BW. Can that Infocubes be created in BW automatically on basis of cubes in MS AS or the appropriate InfoCubes in BW must firstly be created manually and then that InfoCubes can automatically be filled with data taken from MS AS as data source?
Note:I found an article on Integration MS AS and SAP BW (the last point):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1758a690-0201-0010-9e83-d1625f67496b#q-8
as I understand the first way of the integration among four given is consistent for my problem
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Read the Multi-Dimensional Modeling with BW

Scenario and Process Component List: Available on SAP Service Marketplace

<b>Is the following useful to a BPX?</b>
Warning: It is only available to those with a Service Marketplace logon.
This was shared by Content Strategist: Scott Jones:
The latest version of the Scenario and Process Component List on SAP Service Marketplace narrows the gap between the business view and the technical view of SAP's product portfolio. Customers can not only find out technical realization alternatives for SAP's business scenarios and processes, but also analyze which scenarios are possible with a given set of already implemented components. For planned upgrades, customers can analyze which scenarios have been enabled as well as which scenarios may no longer be available or require further upgrades of other components.
All new features can also be reviewed in the "<a href="https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000682251&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&">what's new</a>!" section. Access the Scenario and Process Component List at SAP Service Marketplace (<a href="http://service.sap.com/scl">http://service.sap.com/scl</a>).

Did you ever resolve this issue? I am facing exactly the same issue and have the same question.

OSB and SAP integration using XML web services

Hi Team,
We are designing solution for asynchronous and synchronous scenarios integration between OSB and SAP using web services.
Can you please provide some pointers which tells about how OSB and SAP integration works.
For an example:
If we are designing the above scenario between SAP PI and SAP ECC, we know the below communication protocols are avilable:
1.Proxy
2.RFC
3.IDOCs
And also we know how adapters will get connect.
Now ODB wants to connect to SAP to send and receive data. Please help me with information like:
1. Is Proxy, RFC or IDOCs are applicable for OSB as well?
2. How webservice scenarios can be implemented?
Thanks in Advance.

Vicky

Hi,
>>>and what are the Forms ? for SAP Business Connector Related Postings ??
try WM (webmethods forums) or here since this is the only middleware related forum on SDN
>>> I have a requirement to integrate sap to non-sap with Business Connector !!
excellent
>>>We need to Generate the SAP Data In xml Format ? and the Non-sap System can Understand Only XML Formated data.
fairly easy
>>>>Is there any way Business Connector Box can Pull the XML file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server. from that How do we Sent XML file to Non-sap. How do we Integrate ??
business connector has both IDOC and RFC adapters so it can
receive data from SAP (IDOC, RFC), send data to SAP (IDOC, RFC)
and pull data from SAP (RFC only)
>>>>what transaction code will trigger this event ? I mean is ther any SAP Transaction Code to Integrate Business Connector?
either transaction from SAP (for sending IDOCs for example) or you can schedule (via BC scheduler)
an RFC call to SAP that will fetch the data and put it in an XML file
good luck,

SAP Fiori - Transports Dev to QA/Prod issues (Activate and Maintain Service)

Hi All,
We have configured and activated Fiori - PO and PR scenarios in development environment using Central Hub Architecture (Gateway-Backend system). It is working great. However, we are facing an issue while transporting the configuration between the environments. We configured the entries (System Alias, Activate and Maintain Service and Scenario) for QA/Prod Environment in Development environment and transporting those (as it lets us to create TR's and as any SAP Configuration or technical Object). The transports are imported successfully, however the service is not activated or seen in "Activate and Maintain Services" in QA/Production Environment. But, scenario definition for PO and PR are imported successfully and visible
Steps and Transports:
1. System alias configured for QA/Production (Central hub) entries in Development box and transported - Successfully imported and entries are seen
2. Activate and Maintain Service entries are configured (workbench request- Loads Oauth and Metadata along with the System Alias assigned) - Transport import successfully, However not seen in "Activate and Maintain Services" (tried even creating a customization TR's)
3. Scenario Definition (PO and PR) - These are successfully imported as well as we are able to see the entries in SPRO
Solution Options:
1. Configure the entries and import (No success yet)
2. Manually re-configure or Activate and Maintain Service in each system [QA/Prod] (Again, SAP let us transport for this step - So, my understanding option 1 should work).
Any recommendation or suggestions ? Or is the Option 2 the only way to go!
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Sri

Hi Sri,
I think the Support Package for Gateway is old.

Cannot start widget - Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started

Dear Experts .
I'm trying to enable widget for my company db but getting the following error :
Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started; then wait 1 minute and try again
I can connect to the B1iF locally and remotely .
I have the db configured in the SLD and connects successfully .
I have the event sender service and proxy started and configured for the company db.
I can access the Dashboard web portal and login with database sap credentials (but I see nothing there)
I've checked that there are no duplicate entries in the SSLD table for SBO common (note : 1619422)
I've also tried to re-activate the xelcious from the B1iF->control.
My Setup :
I'm runing SBO server, B1iF installed locally and B1iSN installed on a 3rd party server.
I'm using B1iF as even forwarder for B1iSN.
I know this has been discussed many times through out the forum and I've tried most of the stuff other than clean install.
I would appreciate any input before removing B1iF completely and re-installing.
Thanks in advance ,
Nadav.

How to find the Values of SAP Gateway Server Host and Gateway Service Valu

Hi All,
I installed SAPR/3 4.7 EE on Windows. For configuring SLD and LDAP i am unable to give the SAP Gateway Server Host and Gateway Service values.
Can any one plz suggest me how to find these values.
Regds
Phanikumar

Hello, SAP Gateway Server Host and Gateway Service are used to set up rfc connectivity, that is the host name and the system number where your sld and ldap is responding, if you have no sld and no ldap , just simply uncheck that options while installing.
Have a nice week end, Luciano.

MSCS going mad and crashing SAP services (SCS & ASCS)

Hi all!
I have a problem installing MSCS cluster. At some point of the installation when I have to take offline and later bring online the SAP cluster group, the Cluster administrator became mad and begin to take offline and bring online all the cluster groups, moves the cluster groups to all the nodes until de sap services (ascs and scs) crashes and get teh status failed. After that I cannot bring online the service.
This is the like the fifth time I reinstall and always that error occurs and always in different point of the installation, it can be after the installation of the second node or the last time was between the database and central instance step. At last, the service error is always different too.
Thanks,
Wadih Saad

Shut down the cluster NT service, replace the dlls, start the cluster NT service again.
We ran into a similar issue a few weeks back when running older version of these cluster dlls. The instance would randomly shut down and bounce between the MSCS nodes. We made it our new rule that whenever kernel is updated, the cluster dll gets updated as well.
Good luck! If this still doesn't work, please post the dev_disp and dev_w0 files from the work directory.

Error creating communication to SAP Service and Support.

Hi guru,
I hava an error while configuring in SAP solution manager 7.0 SP12 in SPRO transaction the "initial configuration part I " : the wizard configuration give me the error "Error creating communication to SAP Service and Support"
Error creating communication to SAP Service and Support
Message no. IMG_FASTCONF004
Diagnosis
Error creating communication to SAP Service and Support.
If i create the two RFC connection manually ( SAP-OSS and SAP-OSS-LIST-O01 ) then when I returned to SPRO to make the "initial configuration part II " this tell me that there is an error in basis configuration.
How can I solve this problem ?

markus , this is the first step i made after the installation of Sol Manager : this step have created the RFC SAPOSS ( and is working ).
Ok - good.
I am speaking about solution manager , that in basic configuration try to create the other RFC.
yes - I´m aware of that.
I would update to the latest service pack first (SP17 or SP18) before you start with the confiugration. The new SPs have much better wizards. SP12 is pretty old already.
