SFDC Integration with FusionMiddleware - Inbound

Hi,
I have to do an Inbound integration, where we get the input file from SFDC (SalesforceDotCom) transformed to Fusion Middleware (Staging table)
Input format will be .xml file from SFDC.
SFDC is expecting an Endpoint URL, where they will be putting the .xml file, from where i have to read the file and transform the file payload to database staging table payload.
I have a confusion here, How an input file i.e, .xml file can be put in an endpoint URL which i create in FMW.
I think, the file has to loaded in a server path, But SFDC is expecting an Endpoint URL.
Basically an Endpoint URL is a handler for a webservice, So How an endpoint URL can be a location to store a file or access a file from it?
Can you please clarify my doubt asap.
Regards,
Jawahar

Not sure if this is actually your problem, but you can use a file URL... like file://host/path...

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.

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...

Best practices for apps integration with third party systems ?

Hi all
I would like to know if there is any document from oracle or from your own regarding best practices for apps integration with third party systems.
For example, in particular, let's say we need customization in a given module(ex:payables) need to provide data to a third party system, consider following:
outbound interface:
1)should third party system should be given with direct access to oracle database to access a particular payments data information table/view to look for data ?
2) should oracle create a file to third party system, so that it can read and do what it need to do?
inbound:
1) should third party should directly login and insert data into tables which holds response data?
2) again, should third party create file and oralce apps will pick up for further processing?
again, there could be lot of company specific scenarios like it has to be real time or not... etc...
How does companies make sure third party systems are not directly dipping into other systems (oracle apps/others), so that it will follow certain integration best practices.
how does enterprise architectute will play a role in this? can we apply SOA standards? should use request/reply using Tibco etc?
Many oracle apps implementations customizations are more or less directly interacting with third party systems by including code to login into respective third party systems and vice versa.
Let me your know if you have done differently and that would help oracle apps community.
thanks
rrb.

you want to send idoc to third party system (NONSAP).
what kind of system is it? can it handle http requests
or
can it handle webservice?
which version of R/3 you are using?
what is the mechanism the receiving system has, to receive data?

Raja

Third Party Recruitment Software integration with SAP HR

Dear Experts ,
Iam given a scenario where in the client wants the Erecruitment software Taleo to be integrated with SAP HCM.The HR recruiters/Managers are currently hiring them into the taleo software and from there the data need to be pushed to the SAP employees's infotypes.
In Addition to this the benefits infotype need to be maintained automatically in the system.Is there any way to automatically default the benefit infotype also
Kindly suggest a solution for this.
Regards
Gopa

You will need interface(s) between Taleo and SAP....If Taleo is your recruiting system...then they may want...
Outbound from SAP: Interface that sends them vacant position data from SAP (you need this so that when Taleo sends you finally an employee data after hiring they can send you the position data with it).
Outbound from SAP: You may also need to send them terminations from SAP (optional - may be needed depending on your company process for handling rehires)
Inbound to SAP: This is the main file from Taleo after offer is accepted and employee is hired in Taleo. At this time Taleo will send you a file for which you can write an interface to hire these employees into SAP. You can do a BDC session with PA40 - you may have to determine if its a hire or rehire here. If you are processing payroll then its important to make sure you have all the payroll related info types (if they are not coming from Taleo then you should at least have them defaulted to what your client agrees).
The second part to your question
Creating benefits depends on how you are getting or determining benefits data.
1. Benefits configuration has something called automatic/default plans...
>>> "Automatic" plans are something employee is enrolled into and has no option to change them.
>>> "Default" plans are something employee is enrolled into on new hire and typically has 30 days to make changes...this is standard configuration for each plan and should be completed.
If it is controlled via benefits config then you just need to go through hire action...and typically as part of that hire action - IT0378/IT0171 will prompt you to go to benefits enrollment screen and enroll employee...into these automatic/default plans...plans will be pre-selected based on configuration. So all you do here is hit save and continue with rest of hire action. All this is recordable via BDC session.
2. If it is NOT controlled via configuration...and you are getting benefit plan details in the file then you just create them in the corresponding info types...IT0167/0168 etc. For processing sanity I would separate hire and benefits creation as two step process if all the data is coming via files...
Happy interfacing...

Integrating with Oracle EBS using XMLGateway issues

Hi all,
I'm trying to integrating with Oracle EBS using XMLGateway, and I meet some issues. Here are the steps I did.
1) Update DATA_MAP.xgm file and DATA_TEST.dtd file into XMLGateway repository
2) Define transactions in EBS client:
Party Type: Supplier
Transaction Type: Cat
Transaction Subtype: Dog
Transaction Description: test for cat and dog
Standard Code: OAG
External Transaction Direction: IN
External Transaction Type: Cat
External Transaction Subtype: Dog
Queue: APPLSYS.ECX_IN_OAG_Q
3) Define trading partners in EBS client
Operating Unit: Vision Operations
Trading Partener Type: Supplier
Trading Partener name: ****
Trading Partener site: ****
Company Admin email: [email protected]
... other transaction info defined in step 2)
4) Send inbound message using OTA send Inbound Page. It succeed.
a. The return page display status code 1000 with status discription OK.
b. From the transaction monitor, I can see the inbound message was processed successfully.
c. From the database, I can see that this inbound message first arrived in ecx_inqueue table, and then moved to ecx_in_oag_q_table. And last disappeared from the ecx_in_oag_q_table. That means XMLGateway process the inbound message in transaction queue successfully.
5) Send inbound message using SOAPUi. It failed.
a. The return page display status code 200. That means the inbound message has been sent to inbound message queue successfully.
b. From transaction monitor, I cannot see this request record.
c. From the database, I can saw that this inbound message first arrived in wf_ws_jms_in table, then disappeared. It didn't moved to transaction queue which I selected when defined transations, so I guess it wasn't processed by XMLGateway. Using the following SQL, but cannot find error reason.
select * from ecx_inbound_logs where process_id='******************'
select * from apps.ecx_error_msgs where error_id='*****'
I guess the reason is something happend to prevent inbound message to move from inbound message queue to transaction queue. So XMLGateway cannot process this inbound message.
From XMLGateway user guide, I understand that there are three kinds of inbound queues(ECX_INBOUND which OTA uses, WF_WS_JMS_IN which soap over https uses, WF_JMS_IN which JMS uses), does't mention what are the corresponding transaction queues? Can they share the same transaction queue? Also see from this user guide, ecx_in_oag_q (transaction queue) is only for ecx_inbound queue. But when I try to define a transaction in EBS client, it seems that only ecx_in_oag_q can be chosen. I wondered why my second senarios failed when I used the same transation and trading partner. The message already arrived at wf_ws_jms_in and then disappeared. Is that because I selected the wrong transaction queue when defining transactions? But it was really cannot select any other transaction queues there. Or I missed some steps when using SOAP over HTTP/S?
Appreciate you can give me some suggestions. Hope to hear your voice. Thanks in advance.

Points before taking backup of R3 which is integrated with CRM

Dear Experts,
We have integrated SAP R3 with SAP CRM 6.0.
We are planning to take a backup of Production system(of R3) and load the Master Data into Quality system of R3 (System Refresh).
As we have integrated R3 with CRM , we feel that the system refresh will create issues in CRM system (like large number of inbound queues, GUID errors etc.)
Please share your thoughts and experiences before performing the system refresh/backup.
Also, please provide the necessary steps to be carried out before taking backup of R3 system in an CRM integrated scenario.
Thanks,
Techie

Oracle Meter Data Management Integration with SAP ISU

Hello Everyone,
I am aware of the fact that Oracle has released a Media pack for the subject integration as discussed here and that media pack works only for SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 5 with ISU_AMI_2.
We have got OU MDM Release 2.1 Media Pack v4 and SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 4 with ISU_AMI_1 and hence Adapter in MDM won't help to achieve integration with SAP as our SAP EHP is lower than what is required for the MDM adapter. We have got SAP PI which would help the SAP End in the integration.
What are the possible work-around(s) to achieve the integration between Oracle MDM and SAP ISU without using the Media Pack/Adapter?
How does MDM exposes its services (inbound/outbound) to be consumed/triggered by External systems (i.e. SAP ISU)?
List of Services (inbound/outbound) exposed by Oracle MDM for integration?
Your time and help is much appreciated.

Where sd integrated with fi&mm

hell friends i have a doubt where sd integrated with fi and mm
thanks to help me
ravi

Hi,
The link between SD and MM :-
1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.
2. MRP and availibility check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.
3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order,the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material Master.
4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.
There are many such links between SD and MM.
Now the link between SD and FI :-
1. Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in the bacgground. eg. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer.
Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good s hits some G/L account.
2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note, credit note etc) created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI
3. Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link between SD and MM
SD Integration points with other modules

To create a sales order we need purchase order number and custmer number. Before that, to create a purchase order we need to have material no, vendor no.
To create vendor tcode is
xk01(create), xk02(change) , xk03(display)
Tables are lfa1.
To create custmer tcode is xd01, xd02, xd03.
Table is kna1.
After creating sales order using this no we can create delivery note tcode is vl01.
Please reward points for useful answers and may be then close the thread.

B2B : Integration with SOA

Hi gurus,
i want to test the B2B Integration with SOA. I am using
Document Protocol : EDI_X12
Document type : 850 (Purchase Order)
Version: 4010
B2B version: 11.1.1.5.0
Weblogic server : 10.3.5
Probelm Description:
I am working on Integration effort. I have created a SOA composite , A file adapter is configured for polling EDI native xml from local file location and a B2B send Adapter is configured for sending the EDI native xml data to the B2B console. And I have used Mediator as component. Now in B2B console, I have configured an Agreement which will translate the EDI native xml to EDI native data and send it to a FTP location (Generic FTP channel is created). And another B2B listening channel is listening the loaction and performs the B2B Inbound Operation.
This scenario is working fine but the problem is the EDI native data , which is generated from B2B console is not in proper format.
Data:
* ISA~00~ ~00~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~110926~1552~U~00401~100000011~0~P~\ *
GS~PO~ ~ ~20110926~1552~1011~X~004010
ST~850~0001
BEG~00~AB~P~~20110913
PO1~A
SE~4~0001
GE~1~1011
IEA~1~100000011
some fields of ISA and GS segments are not generated , thats why my B2B Inbound Operation is getting hampered , it always throws error.
B2B Inbound operation is working fine when i am putting EDI_Native data in that location manually.
My Expected data is :
===========================
ISA~00~Authorizat~00~Security I~01~Interchange Sen~01~Interchange Rec~110913~1725~U~00401~000000001~0~P~\

SE~4~0001
GE~1~1
IEA~1~000000001
How will I get it ?
Any suggestion would be helpful to me..
thanks in adv.
Sharmistha

Hi Sharmistha,
I think you have not added the EDI identifiers (EDI Goup Id, EDI Interchange ID, EDI Interchange ID Qualifier ) in the outbound agreement. Make sure that you are adding all three in both the trading partner profiles while creating the agreement. Save, validate, deploy the agreements after adding these in the agreements and try a test again.
You may use "Ctrl" or "Shift" button of keyboard to select more than one identifiers at a time. You need to also add the same in inbound agreement.

OIM 9.1.0 Integration with Active Directory 2008 R2

Hi,
My customer is running Root/Child AD structure based on windows 2003 w/SP2, OIM 9.1.0 deployed under one of the child domains, and integrated with child domains controllers which runs windows server 2003 as well.
My customer has decided to upgrade his AD to Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers across the entire AD Forest and still wants to integrate the current OIM v9.1.0 with AD for all of his Users provisioning and password synchronizations.
Am not sure if current OIM version of OIM 9.1.0 is compatible and supported by OIM v9.1.0 under active directory version 2008 / R2, and not sure if it can be integrated with such AD version.
Any guidance is really appreciated.
Also I was thinking of such scenario but also not sure of its support ability and if OIM will keep working on such scenario, the scenario is to upgrade only the AD root domain to Windows 2008 R2 while keeping the child domain holding the OIM 9.1.0 at Windows 2003 version.
Is this a working and supported scenario by OIM v9.1.0 ?

I believe you question should be if the connector supports this architecture. Check out the versions supported for the connector you are using and you should be good.

Service desk integration with 3rd party tool

Hi all,
I've problems understanding the setup of connecting a 3rd party service desk tool with solman itsm.
So far it's clear that I need to activate and configure the service provider and consumer in soamanager.
The webservice then will be called by the 3rd party tool with corresponding data.
However, according to spro I need to define a value mapping for incoming/outgoing calls.
I do not understand this mapping... the WSDL of webservice ICT_SERVICE_DESK_API contains lots of fields, but in spro -> value mapping I can only define the following fields (which are hard coded in type pool AIICT):
SAPCategory
SAPComponent
SAPDatabase
SAPFrontend
SAPIncidentID
SAPIncidentStatus
SAPInstNo
SAPOperatingSystem
SAPSoftwareComponent
SAPSoftwareComponentPatch
SAPSoftwareComponentRelease
SAPSubject
SAPSystemClient
SAPSystemID
SAPSystemType
SAPUserStatus
What about attachments, priority etc.?
Will the interface parameters mapped to these ones?
For what purpose do I need to maintain the value mapping?
Can you give me a hint?

Java Stack mandatory for a SAP BI system integrated with EP?

Hi Guru's,
Currently we are using SAP NetWeaver 2004 s version 7.0 system for our BI.
This is integrated with the EP. But our BI system does not contain the Java Stack installed.
When we work on WAD templates and execute the template, it is automatically directed to EP portal where we can see our reports.
Here my question is do we need Java Stack for this system to use ADOBE DOCUMENT services or can it work with EP only for the web functionalities.
Any info on this is of great help.
Best Regards
Kumar

HI Reddy,
We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.
As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.
1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).
2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?
Regards
Kumar

Session keep Alive when EBS is integrated with OIF acting as SP

We have an E-Business Suite R12(12.1.3) Application which is integrated with Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5. For authentication the Oracle Access Manager delegates the authentication request to Oracle Identity Federation acting as a Service Provider (SP). There is a home-grown SSO which acts as the Identity provider by Federating it with OIF using SAML 2.0 protocol.
The integration is successful and EBS is able to authenticate using this third party SSO.
Now there are multiple applications which are integrated with this third party SSO and the user can access any of these applications including EBS.
Considering a scenario where a user is using EBS Application say for more than 30 mins. Now when he tries to login to another application the challenge screen is thrown though he can continue to work on EBS without any issue. The reason being that the session timeout on the IDP side is set to 30 mins.
To overcome this issue the solution that has been thought of using a javascript for each page load on the application which will update the SSO token with the latest UTC time on the IDP server. This has been successfully done for all other applications except EBS.
So my question is how we can call this java script for each page load for EBS?
Thanks & Regards

It appears that OAM is removing the url parameters for the p_done_url sent to it by OIF.
302 Redirect to -> Location: https://sso.mycompany.com/oam/server/logout?p_done_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.mycompany.com%2Ffed%2Fuser%2Fsloosso%3Fid%3Dosso%26type%3D3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
Result: 200. Set-Cookie OAM-ID to expired.
Form Submits: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso
Result: 500 Error
Notice the p_done_url value in the redirect has extra parameters which when the Form is submitted are lost.
If I manually enter the url: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso?id=osso&type=3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
Then I am successfully logged out.
This seems almost like a bug in OAM...
