SOA Landscape with PI7.1 and ECC

Hello Everybody,
I was reading through few documentation and communication thread but could not able to get the exact answer for the below question.
1. What is SOA Architecture "Technically"?
2. How do we link SOA with PI7.1?
3. What is the procedure to implement SOA?
4. After implementation how we need to link PI7.1, ECC and Portal?
Appreciate your answer or any link specific to above questions.
Thanks,
Dhill

> What is SOA Architecture "Technically"?
SOA is service oriented Architecture. In a simple step think about a web service which is part of SOA.
>How do we link SOA with PI7.1?
Through PI 7.1 you can create, register and host web service for the external systems. So PI 7.1 is considered as SOA middleware.
>3. What is the procedure to implement SOA?
Let us consider hosting webservice through PI. That means you might need to create scenario and use say soap sender adapter. After that you can register webservice using service registry tool and let others to consume your hosted webservice.
>4. After implementation how we need to link PI7.1, ECC and Portal?
Say host webservice using sender interface and soap adaper on the sender side. Use proxy on the receiver side. Provide WSDL to the portal team and let portal team consume your webservice using pi7.1 on the sender. If you create soap(webservice) to proxy scenario(receiver) using PI, you can connect portal to ecc via pi 7.1.

CAF with ABAP Webdynpro and ECC 6.0 ?

Hello,
I'm a newbie with CAF. I understand that we can create business logic (BO) and use kind of UI (VC, Webdynpro).
My question : is it possible to use CAF to generate ABAP Webdynpro and can we use CAF with ECC 6.0 / netweaver 7.0 ?

CVI in CRM 7.0 and ECC 6.0 IS-A VMS

Hi experts
I'm seeking for techinical advise on solution for CVI (Customer-Vendor Integration) in the given landscape.
Refering to an excellent article from Mitchell Faiman (SAP) in CRM Expert and SAP help for CRM 6.0, we've done all the needfuls to set up but still has some issues.
We're implementing a landscape with CRM 7.0, ECC 6.0 EhP4, NW EhP1, and IS-A-VMS (Vehicle Managmeent System). One of the key requirements is keeping BP master data clean and consistent across the landscape, including having the same ID, and having a mechanism to keep any changes reflected across the chain regardless of the change being made in CRM or ECC. In VMS, there is a requirement to have end-customer created as BP (role VLC001), as well as being a customer (KNA1) for SD Sales transaction and vendor (LFA1) for kickback payment in ECC. This is where we thought of CVI as the ideal solution. The ideal flow for us would be to have BP created in CRM (role CRM000), then via MW object BUPA_MAIN creates BP in ECC (hoping to find a way to default the role to VLC001 here as well, but that's another issue), and then with CVI, consequently creates a customer and vendor record, and extend ECC-BP with the FLCU00/FLCU01/FLVN00/FLVN01 in the process. (Flow diagram: CRM-BP -> ECC-BP -> ECC-KNA1 & ECC-LFA1)
Once I've gone through the setup as mentioned in the article and SAP Help, I then proceeded to create BP in CRM only to find an error in the outbound queue in CRM reporting a syntax error in ECC program SAPLSFP_CRM. It turns out that there is a missing structure in ECC table which has not been activated (Actual error message is "The data object ES_FKKVKP does not have a component called ZAHKOND_SC" . We found out that this structure is related to FI-CAX (that explains the use of function module FSL_BUPA_MAIN_INBOUND instead of COM_BUPA_MAIN_INBOUND in Faiman's article).
The problem is, we simply cannot activate FI-CAX as that is considered another IS solution/business function, and according to SAP notes, only one IS solution can be activated per environment (we already have IS-A-VMS). That's a brick wall for us, and I wonder if there is anything we can do to overcome this.
Obviously I have created an OSS note to SAP and has been in touch with the support consultant, who have advised on the restriction as mentioned, but no further solution is recommended just yet.
A few questions here:
1) Can you validate our understanding of the CVI concept and the flow?
2) Will the slight change to the flow to rather create BP in ECC, then via CVI create KNA1 and LFA1, and consequently via MW object CUSTOMER_MAIN create BP in CRM work? If not, any solution to this at all?
I would appreciate your valuable feedback and a proper solution that solves our issue will be awarded with points (as always).
Thank you

Just an update.
SAP got back to me after a few dialogue to confirm that the function i was intending to use (CVI via FSL) is part of FI-CA, and is considered another IS function. However, since we already have IS-A installed (switched ON), it is not possible to activate such function in the same instance as the general rule from SAP is that no more than one IS is activated in one SAP instance.
I did not quite understand this restriction though, and wondering how automotive company who sells cars as well as act as a financial leasing company would live within the SAP environment.
We've resorted to enhancement solution (one-way activation), which is only half a solution we expect CVI & CRM MW should be able to offer.

How to configure MQ-FTE and IBM Datapower along with PI7.1

Hi Friends,
Can somebody guide me with the steps to configure MQ-FTE and IBM Datapower with PI7.1 for B2B communication?
Thanks,
--Sonal

1. What is the difference between JMS MQ and Native MQ? How to determine which one to use?Native MQ refers to a proprietary api provided by IBM in multiple languages including java so that applications running on these can communicate mq. IBM also provides JMS wrappers around this native api, so that a jms client can talk to mq using JMS API. This is called MQ JMS.
2. If native MQ can be used here, what are the steps to configure Native MQ on WLS in my situation?SOA suite provides a MQ Resource Adaptor which can be used to connect to MQ. The developers of this resource adapter would have used the native api to enable the adaptor to talk to MQ, so that you dont have to worry about it. However you will need to configure the properties of your local MQ ( qmgr , q name etc). This is done in the outbound connection pool properties of the resource adaptor.
please check this blog for how to do this : http://soa-bpel-esb.blogspot.com/2009/09/configuring-mq-in-11g-soa-suite.html.
Since your MQ installation is in a remote machine you will have to configure the following properties specific to your environment - hostname, port, server connection channel, along with the queue manager name and queue name
3. Do I need any foreign servers or message bridges to be configured?Not required for your case if you are using MQ Adaptor. Since MQ also provides a JMS transport , you would have required foreign servers if you have to use JMS Adaptor instead of MQ Adaptor. Native MQ is expected to be faster than MQ JMS as it doesn't have the extra JMS layer.

System landscape with one missing Hana (2 Hana / 3 ECC)

Hi all,
We’re currently working in a landscape with only 2 Hana: one for DEV+Integration (to be connected to 2 ECC : DEV and INT) and the other for the production system (connected to the prod ECC). Any idea on how we can deliver our tested developments on the same environment (the dev) for integration testing ?
On the DEV system we would like to have a development version of each object connected to the DEV ECC and an integration version of the same objects connected to the INT ECC.
We can copy all objects from one package (dev) to another (int), change the authoring schema and adapt all the inside references. I’m looking for an easier way, ideally with delivery units (which should be the way we will deliver our views on the production system).
Any input will be appreciated…
Regards,
Fred

Dear Beate;
Thanks for your question!
One of the key advantages and strategic benefits from our SAP SLcM solution is the fact that we are directly/automatically connected with core (academic supporting) backoffice processes like HR and Finance.
On the HR side we share for example the Organizational Management foundation and at the Finance side we are directly tapped into the core financial processes powered by the FICA engine of ERP.
If there are no strong/solid compelling reasons (beside the emotional ones ) to have a point-solution installation of SLcM we always recommend to have SLcM running inside the existing available business suite/ERP. Why?
Direct, automatic integration with HCM (HR)
Direct, automatic integration with FICA (Finance), from tuition fee to collection and distribution to general ledger)
Re-use of key supporting business suite engines like:
1. Workflow
2. Authorisation module
3. DMS
Maintenance of only one system instead of multiple ones
You avoid building and maintaining extra 'interfaces' between ERP1 and ERP2+SLcM.
Etc.
Hope this helps!
Let me know if you have any other concerns or want to have a call, please drop me an e-mail.
Kind regards

Can SAP ECC6.0 SR2 and ECC 6.0 SR3 exist on the same landscape.

Dear Tech Masters.
I have done Heterogenous System Copy in Dev and QAS box in Landscape.
Source machine : ECC 6.0 SR2 on Windows 32bit. Oracle 32bit
Target System : ECC 6.0 SR 3 on Windows 64bit, Oracle 64bit.
Now I am going for production installation,
I got stuck with installation in production as I have source for ECC 6.0 SR2 for windows x64 only where as I have done system copy for DEV and QAS using ECC 6.0 SR3 media, though the source instances for Dev, Qas were ECC6.0 SR2.
Please suggest whether its possible to design the landscape with mix of ECC 6.0 SR2 , SR3. Please help asap.

Thanks a lot Vladimir, I am confident now ( technically ) to go ahead with SR2 installation in production.
In production, Should I make it up to the SP level with respect to QAS instance. ( QAS is ECC 6.0 SR3 -system copy ).
One more thing, If SAP will check our landscape, if they found it in this way..will that make any impact in SAP support in future.
Please suggest.
Rabi.

SSO issue with BI 4.0 BW and ECC

We currently have SAP BW 7.3 BOBJ 4.0 ECC and SAP portals.
We have configured SAP BW, BOBJ and SAP Portal with SSO and that works perfectly fine.
The issue is that i have Crystal Reports running on ECC that have also to be published to the Portal.
All BW crystal reports run fine and ECC fails because of SSO -
What am i missing here -
Do i need to do something different for ECC
In CMC Authentication i have added SAP ECC and imported a role - So now i have 2 ids - one from BW and the other from ECC.
I know this is not the way to do it but it still does not work.
What do i need to do to have ECC and BW reports to work with SSO from SAP portal.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply Ingo
I assume that your BusinessObjects Server has the SAP Authentication for BW and ECC configured ?
*Yes *
Are the reports for BW and ECC been called from the portal ?
Yes
if so then you have one BOE Server, 2 SAP environments and 2 SAP authentications configured and to achieve SSO for all systems you will have to combine the 2 SAP Systems via SNC (for XI 3.1) or via the SSO Token Service in BI4
We are on BI4 and we have set up SSO Token for BW -
Are you saying that we have to set up SSO token for BW as well as ECC -
In CMC - Authentication - SAP - Options -SAP SSO Service - it does not give me an option to have 2 systems
How do i add ECC system there too.

Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

Hi there,
I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
then send "big" PDF to printing.
page 1 is PORTRAIT
page 2 is PORTRAIT
page 3 is LANDSCAPE
In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
With my advanced thanks,
And greetings from Paris, France !

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

Integrating BPM Composer and SOA Composer with Fusion

Hi
I am working on integration of BPM Composer or SOA Composer with Fusion. Any kind of help like documents etc would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I don't believe that noone has ever tried to connect the local BPM environment to a remote WCC server before. Please let me know if you've ever experienced the same problem. Otherwise, even a simple "I tried to do the samething and I succeeded using the same steps in the tutorial" would help too .
Another thing is that yesterday, I talked to the tech-lead and I learned that our WCC server environment doesn't have BPM installed yet. I am wondering if this would cause the WCC server to not understand the request from my BPM server. In addtion, I've also upgraded my local BPM server using the lastest SOA bundled patch. Should the same patch be applied to the WCC server environment too?
I'd be very grateful for any advice .

Landscape of BI and ECC

Hi Folks,
can u tell me the landscape of BI and ECC.
DEV> QTY> PROD in BI
DEV> QTY> PROD in ECC
This is the Landscape, my doubt is from where the Data is passing from ECC to BI (like PROD ECC to PROD BI).
Can u please help me out in this.
Thanks In Advance
Regards,
Naresh.

Hi,
We develop the objects in development server of BI and move to quality for testing.Most of the companies maintain data in quality server which is quite similar to PRD.
Some companies have One server for DEV and QAT ,you can call it a client copy.So whenver you develop new objects or reports you do not need to transfer it from DEV to QAt for testing.
Best practice for transportation is first transport the objects dveloped in R/3 from DEv to QAT and then replicate to BI ,once it is done then transport the BI Objects from DEV to QAT and same procedure for PRD.
Hope it clears your queries.If you need any mnore inputs please let me know.
Regards,

Expert Opionon on Landscape with Solution Manager 4

Hi Experts:
I would like your expert opinion of the following. (Points will be rewarded for all posts)
I have been tasked with setting up a DEMO environment involing Solution Manager 4 (SM4) , ECC 6.0 (ECC) and Business Intelligence 7 (BI7).
We would like this to be set up in such a way so that we could maximize Solution Manager and show its full functionality and capbility to our clients.
I was thinking of setting up the landscape in the following order.
3 Servers, OS: Windows, DB: MS SQL 2005
1. Setup SAP Transport Host (This will reside in SM4) This will be done as suggested in the SAP install guides.
2. Install SM4 through a Central Install (ABAP only System)
3. Post Install Activities (From SM4 Installation Guide)
4. Share the following in ECC (
SAPTRANSHOST\SAPMNT\trans.) and share it with SM4. (So, essentially ECC shares the same transport directory)
(I am not sure about the above step...please confirm here)
5. Install ECC through a Central Install (ABAP only System)
6. Post Install Activities (From ECC Installation Guide)
7. Share the following in BI7 (
SAPTRANSHOST\SAPMNT\trans.) and share it with SM4. (So, essentially BI7 shares the same transport directory as ECC and SM4)
(I am not sure about the above step...please confirm here)
8. Install BI7 through a Central Install (ABAP only System)
6. Post Install Activities (From BI7 Installation Guide)
I do realize that we also need EP7 for BI7, but that is being planned for release 2, the client is only interested BW lite at the moment.
Please feel free to critque the above and offer all alternatives.
Thanks!
I owe my SAP Basis Career to this site as I have learned so much here. Again, Points will be rewarded.

Hello Imran,
I will answer in your text...
I have been tasked with setting up a DEMO environment involing Solution Manager 4 (SM4) , ECC 6.0 (ECC) and Business Intelligence 7 (BI7).
-->Exactly with escenario? Implementation scenario, monitoring, Change request management, service desk???
We would like this to be set up in such a way so that we could maximize Solution Manager and show its full functionality and capbility to our clients.
-->OK! all scenarios
I was thinking of setting up the landscape in the following order.
3 Servers, OS: Windows, DB: MS SQL 2005
1. Setup SAP Transport Host (This will reside in SM4) This will be done as suggested in the SAP install guides.
2. Install SM4 through a Central Install (ABAP only System)
--->NOT possible, solman 4.0 has only one installation possibility, ABAP+J2EE
3. Post Install Activities (From SM4 Installation Guide)
4. Share the following in ECC (
SAPTRANSHOSTSAPMNT rans.) and share it with SM4. (So, essentially ECC shares the same transport directory)
(I am not sure about the above step...please confirm here)
---> You don´t need to share the trans folder for any solman scenario
5. Install ECC through a Central Install (ABAP only System)
6. Post Install Activities (From ECC Installation Guide)
-->ok
7. Share the following in BI7 (
SAPTRANSHOSTSAPMNT rans.) and share it with SM4. (So, essentially BI7 shares the same transport directory as ECC and SM4)
(I am not sure about the above step...please confirm here)
->Please don´t do it!!!
8. Install BI7 through a Central Install (ABAP only System)
6. Post Install Activities (From BI7 Installation Guide)
->Ok
I do realize that we also need EP7 for BI7, but that is being planned for release 2, the client is only interested BW lite at the moment.
-> With this two satellites, ECC and BI7 you work in Implementation scenario defining a Implementation project
->Also monitoring scenario and service desk will be cover
-->For change request scenario still you need to have at least two client in each satellite to be able to test the scenario
The transports managed by the solman must be done as always between roles
DEV->QUA->PRD of the same product release
Hope this helps,
Dolores

What are the major differecese between PI7.0 and PI7.1

It's said that there are 3 major differences between PI7.0 and PI7.1.
Could you give them here because I cannot find them.
Thanks!

Hey,
Some more info,
Process Automation Enterprise Services Repository as a central storage location for enterprise service definitions and lifecycle management data for all enterprise services
Enhanced Design Capabilities
Service Enabling & Services Registry u2013UDDI V3.0 Additional compliant services registry for runtime management of enterprise services
Web Service Standards,Web Service Reliable Messaging, Web Service Policy & Security
High Volume Support & Local processing in Adapter Engine ,Message packaging
Improved performance for ccBPM /BPM
using the Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE) in SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1, much higher numbers of messages can be reached.Even better results can be achieved for asynchronous scenarios
PI 7.10 are the services based on service interfaces. These services can be configured with the help of the SOA Manager
