Separate Portal needed for SRM component

Hi,
We are having an EP portal for ESS, MSS scenario.We are also implementing SAP SRM which requires portal as frontend. Just wanted to know whether we can user existing portal(having ESS,MSS) for  SRM as frontend?
Please let me know any pros and cons of having separate portal for SRM and not having also.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay Patwal

Running SRM with ESS/MSS/BI is not a problem. They are simply different applications running on the same infrastructure.
Your question can also be phrased as 'Should I run on a separate JAVA instance'. Well if you think your ESS/MSS portal is already under strain, then yes putting on SRM will also increase the load unless you scale your portal sizing.
Secondly, some clients like to separate out SRM and ESS/MSS so that there are no interdependencies when it comes to patching. For example you may be patching your SRM ABAP, which will in turn require a patch to SRM Business Package which may in turn require a patch to JAVA engine which may impact ESS Business package. Managing the sp stacks can be a little tricky if you run all your apps on one portal. So you can split them out and federate.
Just some thoughts...I know it doesn't tell you exactly what to do. Essentially it is not a problem...It is a question of strategy. In the past I've used SRM on same portal as ESS/MSS and used the SRM JAVA Portal for external users.

  • SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP: Own client needed for SRM?

    Hello experts,
    i've a question concerning the SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP4 as Add-On.
    Is it possible to use SRM and ERP funtionality in a single client e.g. 001?
    Or do we have to use different clients on the system like for SUS?
    I haven't found any information regarding this topic in SAP ressources. I'm currently using CG "SAP SRM on One Client in
    SAP ERP" Release date 2008 (found on marketplace/srm-inst --> srm7.0); SRM - Technical Basis Configuration (BuildingBlock S00/S03). I'm facing problems while going through the following customizing steps:
    Assign logical System to Client [both logicall systems are on the same client (001)] ==> error while trying to reference the second logical sys. because client (001) cannot be used again (own presumption: error message differs)
    I've seen that some of you have successfully installed and customized this szenario. If someone could provide me any helpful information or guideline how to proceed in general... would be great...
    Best regards,
    PATRICK

    Thanks for your reply. I've checked the offline documentation because i've no access to solman.
    There is a document which describes the steps for configuring one-client customizing on marketplace.
    Link: [SAP SRM 7.0: SAP SRM on One Client with SAP ERP|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001201562009E]
    The problem is that its impossible to cofigure the system like it's described in the document.
    Let me explain why...
    SRM Addon is installed and customizing is done in client 001 (same client as erp)
    overview about defined logical systems:
    -ONECLNTERP (for ERP is defined)
    -ONECLNTEBP (for SRM is defined)
    When I try to assign the logical system to client 001 it works for the first entry
    for the second log. system it shows up an error message.
    -->I assume because client 001 has been already assigned. I cant use client 001 again.
    But One-Client szenario schould be possible in a single client or is SAPs One-Client more like One-System with differnet clients for SRM and ERP on the same machine?
    Because of the above mentioned problem I assume that it's impossible to run ERP and SRM in the same Client number.
    Am I right? Do I have to use two Clients on One System for proper Customizing?
    Or if it's possible to use a single client on one machine for both ERP and SRM how is it possible to assign two log. systems to one client number?
    I'm totally confused. Any help would be appreciated  - any tips/hints/experiences from someone who has customized One-Client?

  • Portal - BP for SRM 7.0 - Operational Purchaser - Reports

    Hi all
    We want to add some custom reports to the list displayed in the 'Reports' iView inside the 'Operational Purchaser' role.
    The iView is calling the APB_LAUNCHPAD ABAP WD application with the following parameters:
    role=OP_PUR
    instance=BI_REPORTS
    How can we add those custom reports?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Resolved: this can be customized in LPD_CUST transaction in the backend system (SRM).

  • EP configuration for SRM 7.0

    Hi,
    We have EP 7.0 installed at our place.
    We recently installed SRM 7.01 at our place.We have the SSO configured between EP  and SRM.
    Howvere now we want to run the SRM 7.0 transactions in EP.What is the process for doing that?
    Also even if we need to customize the iviews for SRM transactions in EP,iniitially is it mandatory to install the standard content provided by SAP and then customize the EP roles/views as per our needs?
    Is there any config guide available to map SRM roles and EP roles ?
    Please advise.

    Hi NMSRM,
    When you say transaction you mean SAP T-code? If that so, you have to create a transaction iView with your SRM as system object and it will work.
    The best practice to fully utilize SRM7.0 from portal is to deploy SRM7.0 Business Package into portal. Once that is done there are standard portal roles for SRM which you can use else you can extend it.
    The advantage is it uses BO which allow you to handle lot many features.
    Hope this helps

  • Skills needed for Portal

    Hi All,
            I am an ABAP consultant. I am trained in Web Dynpro ABAP.
            I have a working knowledge on creation of i-Views.
            What are the additional skills needed for maintaining a Enterprise Portal.
            Is Java knowledge needed for this. If yes please provide the topics that I need to understand in Java.
            Thank you all in advance.

    Hello,
    You will have to know the different components and what kind of configuration is possible out of the box within the enterprise portal i.e KM, Collab for example. Also general administration tasks - system creation, SSO federation. Getting into portals is easy being a good portal consultant is challenging to some since you would need to wholistic view of the landscape internet facing , intranet portal. Good to have also is a view of what portals other than SAP EP offer the same or better features.
    Java is needed if you have to customize any existing component or if you want to build new components either in java or WD 4J
    You may require muchmore than these but then as a starter you can install a portal on your local pc and explore the world
    Good Luck!!!

  • Portal error in SRM 7.0 -"There is no iView available for  system "SAP_SRM"

    Hi All,
    We have portal ( SAP EP 7.0) as the front end for SRM 7.0 ,We have integrated SRM with portal through the system alias SAP_SRM.
    With the PDP scenario the users are facing the below issue while they try to open any documents ( let it be RFx/contract).
    "There is no iView available for  system "SAP_SRM": object "cont". For more information, contact your administrator."
    We installed the latest JRE (1.6.0.17) in the machine , but it didn't fix the problem. It appears to be a a lorcal issue with the settings in browser as some people ( very few) are able to open the documents.
    Any pointers?
    Thanks
    Arun

    Hi Arun,
    Pls check the portal content and portal roles with iviews maintained properly or not.
    Pls chek this page for ivew and portal role matrix. and cross check with your portal roles.
    This might help you.

  • I have an itunes account.  However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own.  How do I do that?  Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

    I have an itunes account.  However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own.  How do I do that?  Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

    An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service.  Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
    iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.  You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
    If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113  and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
    I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario.  It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do.  Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

  • Which licenses do I need for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX R2 2012

    Dear Community,
    some time ago i heard about the Enterprise Portal, which requires a SharePoint 2013 and a Dynamics AX R2 2012 Server.
    My company has a fully licensed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Server and enough CALs. We also have a Dynamics AX 2009 Server running. 
    Now to my question: What licenses are needed to get a Enterprise Portal with Dynamics AX 2012?
    Thanks for your responses.
    Sincerely ShareBear9280

    Hi ShareBear,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know which licenses needed for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX 2012 R2.
    There are 4 types of user CALs in Dynamics AX 2012 R2 - Enterprise, Functional, Task, and Self Serve. The number of CALs needed is related to who these users are and what they do.
    More information, please refer to the link:
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/114710.aspx
    For this issue, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for Microsoft Dynamics AX: 
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33.aspx .More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Microsoft Dynamics AX.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.

Do we need to have portal implemented for our BW report to run after upgrading to BI 7.0? In other words, is Portal mendatory to have to run any BEx Report in BI 7.0 invironment? Thanks.
    NP

    Hello Nimesh,
    No, in BI7.0  BEx Analyzer is still supported. Portal is used only for web reports and if needed these web reports can be exported to excel or pdf. It is not mandaory to have portal to see BEx reports.
