Hi,
As I understand, you want to integrate SharePoint with SAP.
SAP SharePoint integration enables frequent interaction with SAP processes, which means that systems are constantly being updated with newer, more relevant data. This timely interaction helps ensure the reliability of business information, and strategic
decision-makers can depend on “one version of the truth” regarding the performance and deployment of the company’s global workforce. There is three methods combining SAP and SharePoint: SAP BI Connector, Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint
and SAP, SAP Netweaver Gateway Productivity acceletor for Microsoft.
These articles below will help you.

Integration with SAP BI - SAP BO XI integration kit or PerformancePoint?

Hi all,
We would like to get some thoughts on SharePoint integration with SAP BI.Could you please help us in solving the following questions:
1. Which one is better? SharePoint integration through PerformancePoint Server 2007 or SAP Business Objects(SAP BO XI integration kit)?
2. What are the starting point(system requirements) to develop a prototype on both the methods?
I was able to find some info on both PPS and SAP Business Objects from the sdn forums and also from sdn documents(those were really helpful,thanks!) but it didnt provide a detailed insight into which one to opt for or how you can goahead.If someone has got more info on this please let us know.
Thanks
Kukku

Hi Sergey,
That was really a very helpful peace of information on what I was actually looking for!
So as per my understanding PerformancePoint Server cannot report directly from SAP ERP(you mean SAP BI specifically right? ).So is there any third party software that we need to use for PPS integration with SharePoint?Are we still trying to connect to SAP BO or directly to SAP BI.
Also can you provide some info on what kinds of reports can we publish using PPS.
Please correct me if wrong.
We are trying to build a prototype on both type of integration.Our front end is SharePoint and our ultimate goal is to provide the SAP BI reports through SharePoint Portal.
Thanks

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...

MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

21/11
Gurus,
I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
Thanks again.
Dear All,
On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
Thanks for your help and insights about this.
Brice.

Hi Chris,
    Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
    I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
    When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
   For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
   then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
   However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
   no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
   when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
   I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
   SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
   My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
   core source code is as:
   clear itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER = lv_datas
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      input_length = lv_length
      mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    IMPORTING
      text_buffer = lv_datas_string
      output_length = lv_data_len
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
    Can you give me some advice?

How can SMART METER Technology be integrated with SAP ISU system?

At present the SMART METER technology is integrated with SAP ISU through a third party vendor. The idocs are sent to a third party and the readings are downloaded and sent back in idoc segments.
How can the integration be done without the third party intervention.

HI
SAP XI needs to be used for 3rd party intervention to send and recive idocs..
or there are some thrid party softwareslike MDUS ,meter data utilisation system.which wil be again a interface between sap and ami system
so basically its like sap syst--sap xi3rd patry 4 ami comapnyami system

MS Outlook Integration with SAP

Hi,
I have few questions on outlook integration ( CRM 4.0) which is as follows.
1) Can we integrate Email by implementing Outlook integration in CRM 4.0? I heard that we can only integrate activities and tasks with SAP and MS outlook
2) When we create contact information in the account screen in CRM PCUI under relationship tab, the attributes like email id, mobile number, fax number, designation and department gets stores in relationship pop up in CRM GUI. Can I transfer these data (maintained in relationship pop-up in GUI) to MS outlook? I heard it has to be maintained in contact master data and not in relationship pop-up.
3) When a Contact Person is exchanged from CRM to Groupware having the relationship Is Contact Person For to an Organization in CRM, the name of the Company is displayed in Outlook Contact data. Also there is an option to display the address of the organization in the contact persons communication fields. If the name of the Organization is changed or address data or communication fields are changed at a later point in time in CRM the updated name or address of the Company is not reflected in groupware contact for this Contact person. Is this True?
4) If a Meeting request is created in Groupware with a Contact Person as invitee, his organization is NOT determined and added to the Business Activity.
E.g. it is NOT possible to determine the account of the contact person and add this account as the Activity Partner in the Business Activity. Is this True?
Points will be rewarded****************

Hi
1) Unread eMails are shown in the inbox. In standard nothing more, but you can read the inbox entries and from there on build your own functionality to create an activity from there (pretty difficult). Other than that, only activities and tasks are integrated.
2) It can be done. A customer of mine did it together with SAP, but they both together spend some 100 days into this solution - obviously not a standard solution.
3) Yes, it is not updated as the shown adress is only inherited and does not belong to the CP. The CP is only updated if its own CRM data is changed.
4) This is not a standard functionality of the groupware integration. However you could customize a reverse partner determination from contact person to its BP and put that into the business partner. I would try and trigger it OnSave, otherwise you need to go into the BAPI_Order_Save and program it yourself.
Hope this helps,
Kai

MM Configuration for integration with SAP SNC

I need to make MM configuration required to support PO collaboration and SMI process integrating with SAP SNC.
ANy kind of information would be very much helpdull

Hi Vikas,
MM configuration for PO collaboration is depend upon the your requirements. e.g. You want to upload the confirmations send by the supplier from SNC web UI to your R/3 system you have to use confirmation control key while creating PO in R/3 and make corresponding supplier confirmation control either optional or mandatory in SNC configuration. Default provided by SAP is optional.
Remember supplier can create confirmations only if ther either optional or mandatory.

I know someone who have developed few applications on integrating weighing machines with R/3.
By: | 04 Dec 2008
i am working as a ABAPer in my company and developed DLL in VB6 on integrating weighing machines with R/3.
implemented and working in more than 10 sites.
By: | 12 Dec 2008
ERP-Scale from Pocket Programs provides a standardized u201Cplug & playu201D interface for weighing equipment. It is SAP Certified and can be used for integration of weigh-scales with the SAP Packing Station transaction (HUPAST) or with custom ABAP developments. Major international companies are already gaining benefit by implementing ERP-Scale in their plants worldwide.
By: | 04 Feb 2009
Re: Custom development for UDS
What have to say folks about the possibilities with the above ? But shouldnt SAP have some standard FM / RFC / BAPI owefully facilitating the same???
But the available FM HU_GET_RFC_DATA doesnt have any documentations attached to it ?

Please let me know.
Thanks

Hello Amar,
I am only aware of a few customers who have integrated predictive dialing into the Interaction Center, and those customers all used Genesys or Avaya. I'm not aware of anyone who has done this with Melita yet.
By the way, I wrote a high-level Blog on the topic of automated dialing available on PBX:

Best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver

Hi All,
I'm totally new to SAP Netweaver but I have a task to integrate our system with SAP ECC (R/3). We are using SAP Netweaver 6.4. The goal of integration is to provide for user list of available modules (Sales and Distribution, Human Resource, Payroll, etc) and when user selected for example Payroll we need to display list of available BAPIs. In general weare able to create Enterprise Web Service for some BAPI and consume it. But the problem is that everytime when administrator changed BAPI process (for example added new field to Business Object) we need to regenerate wsdl and change our client application. Does Netweaver provide some Web Service which can retrieve list of applications, list of BAPI processes and can retrieve meta data of some BAPI? Something like Partner Web Service interface?
We are looking for best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver. We are trying to develop something like adapter which will be able to pull data into SAP ECC system is there any generic way to develop this adapter?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yura.

Hi Yura !!
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. Using SAP Netweaver XI/PI, although it adds value to the webservice scenario exposing BAPI functionality, it also needs to maintain a refreshed version of the BAPI definition in its repository. Depeding the complexity of the change in the BAPI structure, maybe PI may allow you to continue working without changes.
Maybe a good practice is not to make too much changes to a production BAPI, instead make a review in development environment, and once it is stable, use it in production. Other good practice is to keep older versions of BAPIs and add the changed ones as new versions to have back-compatibility

How to delete users in CMC BO integrated with SAP BW

hello experts,
i am using bo 4.1 , i want to delete users in CMC which is integrated with SAP BW role import.
i am deleting manually but after BW connection refresh again users is coming in to CMC.
please tell me any alternate way to delete users
thanks,
naresh.

Hi,
You cannot delete the users if they are integrated with SAP BW role import.
However if you remove all the roles that the users is/are member of then the user will be removed automatically in next update but by doing so it will remove all other users part of those groups that you are not interested in also.
may i know why are you looking to delete users ?
If you delete manually then all the personal folders will be vanished and even if your user comes back in the next update you will not be able to recover the personal folders.
Thanks,
Tanveer.
