SMS from a SAP system

Hi forum,
I would send SMS message from a SAP system (an ECC 6.0 as example). How ?
what kind of hw/sw do we need ?
Regards.
Ganimede Dignan

Ganimede,
For SMS you probably should consider using a 3rd party gateway provider. These providers usually will have a web services interface. This interface then can be invoked via the web services toolset available in ECC 6.0. It should be relatively easy to call the webservice from your system.
The key part is to find a provider that works for your country. You can use this wikipedia article as a good starting point:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_gateways
If you are looking at US & Canada, then I can give you some more ideas. For other countries you might try mblox or clickatell.
Good luck,
Stephen

Uploading data from non sap system to sap system

hi to all experts,
my requirement is to upload data into the sap system from non sap system . the data is in a flat file ,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system. How to upload the data into sap system ....

hi,
the data is in a flat file,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system.
If the data is in excel sheet use this FM.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME                      = P_FILE
      I_BEGIN_COL                   = 1
      I_BEGIN_ROW                   = 1
      I_END_COL                     = 17
      I_END_ROW                     = 3000
    TABLES
      INTERN                        = itab
EXCEPTIONS
INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS       = 1
UPLOAD_OLE                    = 2
OTHERS                        = 3
It will read the data from excel sheet column wise and then store it in ITAB. you can change the order after reading the file.
In case of Text file use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
You can change the order of the fileds after reading it from file, but the length and all you have to make compatible to SAP standard fields.

Migrate Closed Sales Data from one SAP system to Other

Hi,
We have a requirement to migrate Closed Sales Order data from one SAP System to the New SAP system.
Please share your thoughts on the considerations / DOs and Donts for such cases.
Appreciate your response.
Kind Regards,
Tanuji

Hi,
If you want to migrate closed SOs..then first consider why? and from what date i.e how long back?
Following are the considerations:
1) You can't get the creation date same as your previous system dates--this might lead to incorrect reporting. So you'll have to check if its really worth?
2) You might want to have a reference no somewhere in the new transactions from the previous system.
3) If you want to migrate the deliveries, invoices then you've to consider also GL migration as well as payments.

Need of XI to send an XML from one SAP system to another SAP system

Dear colleagues,
I work in the SRM solution.
In SRM there is a Purchaser and Supplier scenario called Supplier Self Services.
The Purchaser creates a Purchase order and sends it to the supplier in form of an XML file.
The purchaser system and supplier system are the same SAP system but different clients.
Example: Purchaser client is 300 and Supplier client is 330 and both of them are on the same system.
I have a very basic question.
Currently we have the XI system which acts as an interface to send the Purchaser PO XML to the Supplier as XML.
a)My question is in case the XML structure is identical across both the clients, then what is the need of XI system?
b) Is it not possible to send XML from one client to another without an XI system? there si no need of any message mapping required since I am expecting the same XML structure in both clients.
Please clarify the need of XI system in the following scenario. Is it not possible without XI?
Many thanks.
Best regards,
Srivatsa

Hi Srivatsa,
YOu can send the XML message from one sap system to another sap system even without an XI system in between.
But the use of SAP XI (Or any other middleware) is recommended because, it gives you the following advantages.
1) Better monitoring and alerting mechanism. XI provides you robust set of tools that let you monitor the status of the messages that are exchanged.
2) Direct communication between systems is referred to as Point to Point communication, which has its own disadvantages as against Hub and SPoke model (Message exchange using XI).
3) Message delivery is guaranteed if you have XI in between.
If the target system is down, the sender sap system will not try multiple times to post the message.
But if you use XI, it can be configured to send the message multiple times, till it succeeds.

Receiving IDocs from non-SAP system ...

Hello guys,
I have problem with implementing IDoc-XI-IDoc scenario. The sender system is a subsystem (non-SAP system) sending IDocs but XI is not able to receive them. I thing the IDoc metadata can not be found.
Logical system name of the sender is IF6020DEV. I registered the system in SLD. In Integration Directory I imported the Bussines System IF6020DEV to my scenario and I created communication channel of type Sender IDoc Adapter in it.
In IDX2 I created new port called IF6020DEV and I copied needed metadata into the port. But it doesn't work. Probably I don't do it right because I'm beginner with SAP XI.
Could you give me any advice how to configure XI for receiving IDocs from non-SAP system?
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Zbynek

Thank you very much. The issue described in refered discussion is almost same issue what I'm solving. Unfortunetally the described solution dosn't work for me.
The sender system still returns following error. I know you probably won't understand it because you don't know the subsystem, but maybe you could get some idea what is wrong.

Sending IDoc from Non-SAP system to XI

Dear all,
We have a non sap system which needs to send IDoc to XI, Please could you answer my following four questions
1. What should be the values for the following fields in the IDoc control record
e.g. RCVPRN = <logical system name of XI>
SNDPOR
SNDPRT
SNDPRN
RCVPRT
RCVPOR
2. How does XI decide which port(idx1) to be used when it receives an idoc
3. The third party system is a non sap one, so it does not have a client no, so I would assume, I need to use another SAP system as a meta data provider, in that case, how would i tell XI to use that port when it receives IDocs from the non-SAP system ?
4. In what step does XI use the logical system name of the Business system(in SLD)?
Thanks in advance
cheers
danus
Edited by: Chidambaram Danus on Jan 25, 2008 2:21 PM

Hi
there is bit wrong interpretation of the statement
If the sender system is a non-SAP system, the sender service is identified from the logical system name of the sender port.
If the sender system is nonSAP it indicates taht the data is coming to XI from non sap systems such as file, database, webservice etc. to XI and from XI it will pass to sap as IDOC inbound.
For this you need to create the logical system in SAP (receiver) and pass on that value to IDOC header.
You could maintain it in the Business service used for Sender system (nonSAP). here it will be available in the tabs ---> History.
note : IDOC is the concept of data container in SAP, you will not be able to have the IDOCs in non sap systems...
Thanks

Call rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems

Hi,
is ist possible to connect to an rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems? I want to use the the RFC-Connector from http://rfcconnector.com, but in the client connect options there is no way to specify the program id.
Best regards,
Daniel

hi,
you don't need to use RFC type T (with program ID) - you can use whole connection string - just like in the example:
http://www.rfcconnector.com/documentation/examples/client/#functioncall
so just specify: host system number etc.
it should work like that - but let me know as I don't know this RFC connector

Invoice posting for the PO from Non-SAP system

Dear Friends,
I have one requirement like from Non-SAP system PO details will be accessed from SAP and after certain calculations Invoice will be posted for the same PO back to SAP.
Everything needs to be done in Non-SAP system by accessing SAP system.
There are some BAPI which can be used for the purpose, but I am not able to get the correct BAPIs to get the PO details and Posting the Invoice for PO.
Please anybody can help me out with the BAPI details.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Use following BAPIs
BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL - To get Purchase Order details
BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE - For Incoming Invoice

Accessing data from other SAP system

Hi experts
I need to access data from one SAP system from other. My requirement is , perform applications (programs) in some SAP system, but using/accessing data from other SAP system .
For example, when we press F4 we get the match code (search help) for the field ; that window is alredy created by SAP and it shows the data for that field . Of course the application (ike any other program/application) read the data from the SAP system is being executing ; well i need execute that match code but show (taking) the data from other SAP system; i not refer to other MANDT in same system but other SAP system.
The communication between SAP1 system and SAP2 system is already created from BASIS.
My doubt is how can i execute that standard application (search help) but 'invoke' to standard application this take data from other system ?
I guess i can create Z search help wich call a Z Function (RFC) to get the data required from the other system ;
or maybe enhance the standar search help to call that Z RFC ; but standard application search help is already created and this access the data in several ways or places of code , and this has severals sub-windows and search features ; and i just need execute exactly same search help but accesing data from the other SAP system ; so my doubt is, is there some way to indicate to SAP the applications always (wherever) these applications acces the data do it but from other SAP system,
like if we 'redirect' the Data Base to other SAP system.
SAP1 applications are being executing -
> but all data (records) are taking from SAP2
Maybe the first suggestion is simply why do not we execute applications in SAP2 instead SAP1 , that's because the version package in SAP2 system (where we have the data) does not support some (non SAP) applications we need to use.
Excuse the long thread. Does somebody can help, any idea ?
Best Regards
Frank

Hi Frank,
Below are my thoughts, these are only conceptual and haven't had an opportunity to try these possibilities, also not sure if this is the right thing.
1) Create an entry in DBCON using TCode: DBCO for the Database of system SAP2. Now in the application of SAP1 use the "SET CONNECTION" construct as the very first statement, so that consecutive SQL statements will point at the DB of SAP2.
2) I have read somewhere that the Work Processes are connected to the Default database and i am not sure if you can change this setting, but if you can and provided you have have multiple application servers in your SAP1 landscape, then pick one of the application servers and change the settings on the WP to point at the DB of SAP2, you have the end users login to this particualr app server.
3) If there are multiple app servers in SAP1 landscape, then choose one of the app servers and change the default database setting to point at DB of SAP2.

Chen

Triggering SAP workflow from non-SAP system

I am trying to use WF-XML to trigger a workflow in SAP from non-SAP system.
I have already created a workflow template in SAP and want to test the scenario if this will be really hit by the incoming xml message.
Questions:
1. How the data from incoming xml is tranferred to workflow container element? IF system does it, how is done? If not how to address it?
2. Do we have some tool here, to simulate this situation - to create a test xml incoming message with SAP and really see if that triggers the desired workflow template. Pupose is testing the scenario first in SAP and then going to the other system to test the real interface.
This is somewhat similar that we see in incoming IDoc. In Idoc we can simulate the incoming IDoc structure and test.
Is any one here who can guide on this?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds.

Hi,
You don't need a triggering event. In the xml it says which workflow should be started. You don't need a class to fill the container. The service does this.
I think there is a way to generate an example xml but I don't know exactly how. In the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">SAPHelp</a> there are some examples of the documents. Check also the entry above it about the creation of a WF_XML document. In the first and third example it shows a container element and its value (QUESTION).
Try to get a copy of the book "Practical workflow for SAP" by Alan Rickayzen. It has got a part about this.
Also check this link from the SAPHelp:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e8/ea8d380be34e6ce10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">Call Tab Page</a>

BAPI for calling Z transaction From NON-SAP system

hi all, am new to BAPI i want to know that can we call any standard or Z transaction from NON-SAP system using BAPI if yes then plz let me know how.???
thanx...

BAPI's are not used for calling transactions. They have the same result though, a business partner for example kan be created, and maintained via the GUI, but it can also be done via a BAPI. These BAPI's are created for calling them from (non-) SAP systems since they are remote enabled. However, this means that the calling application / party will have to 'build' some sort of application themselves in order to call these BAPI's from 'outside' of the SAP system.
The calling application will have to have access to the system, which can be maintained in the remote destination transaction SM59.
But enough of this, there are lots and lots of posts on SDN about BAPI's, remote destination etc.

File Transfer from non-SAP System.

Hi Experts,
We have the requirement to copy/transfer file from non-SAP system to SAP system file server. Can we use these FMs FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND and FTP_DISCONNECT?
or can we also use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE?
Thanks,
Edson

Hi Varma,
Thanks. I'm looking at the FTP_COMMAND FM. If I got it right the 'command' parameter here should be the OS level commands? Example would be cp <file path from source> <file folder of destination> for unix. ?
Thanks again,
Edson

Migrate PY and TM cluster data from One SAP System to another

Hi Experts,
Could you please suggest me some options to migrate PY and TM cluster data from One SAP System to another? My requirement is to move all the cluster data (Active and Inactive ees).
I see that PU12 is an option. Anybody used that to migrate between SAP systems. Please provide some details
Points guaranteed
I see that using PU12 you can export only PCL2 Clutsers. Are there any ways to move the other clusters like PCL4 ?

Hi,
As far as data transfer, If have all normal configuration settings in your targeted system you can use LSMW (Use T.code AS91 in LSMW for recording) to transfer your data in your both cases.
Hope it resolves your both the issues.
