Solution manager 7.0 and Non-SAP Sys. for managing whole IT infrastructure

Hello Gurus,
ive tried to search the allmighty google and SDN network for an answer how can we use the SolMan 7.0 for external applications (non-SAP).
What is our concern is that basically the Sol Man is described for using with whole SAP product environment. project management, chagne management, support, updating and etc.
My idea is:
Can we use SolMan for describing our whole IT projects and processes?
What i mean is if for example we have a payroll system which is running in non-SAP environment, can we describe the project for it? track the changes to it? document everything and etc. Its like to use the SolMan for whole IT infrastructure no matter if the application is SAP or non-SAP environment.
Best regards

Hello there,
SAP Solution Manager contains some functionality to work with non SAP products. For example, in transaction SMSY (system landscape) you can define non SAP products and therefore non SAP systems, although the functionatlity that you get thus is somewhat limited (no automatic refresh, no logon from RFC destination, etc).
The same applies for the project (SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) part of Solution Manager. It is possible to assign a logical component for a non SAP product to a project, then in the project it is possible to describe the process and document it but it will not be possible to use the more SAP oriented functionality like links to IMG projects, etc.

Mix of SAP Gateway and non SAP Gateway for Integration with SAP

Hello,
I am looking for a document on where SAP NW Gateway fits in as part of an integration overall strategy. So, for example, my understanding it is primarily for Mobile app integration. I hear some customers talking about using Gateway for what we normally think of as EAI core integration. So, it does not seem right to me in many typical SAP integration requirements would be handled via Gateway. Other traditional SAP integrations via PI or another ESB leveraging enterprise services, SAP API like BAPIs and IDOCS would be more appropriate in many non-mobile type situations.
Does anyone have general guidance on the above integration advice, thx

A good discussion..If I can add few things
1) PI REST Adapter is planned, should be available sometime in near future..
I do not think every integration scenario should be handled in Gateway (rather oData style) just because it can or it might work thinking. Doing it odata style means you need to re-write all functionalities as Web Based Services (eSOA anyone??)
2) Gateway (oData Services) - should be used in User to System scenario ( mobile, browser light weight type) , where you would want to transfer minimal data to the user and back
3) PI - System to System as you mentioned. e.g. Master Data/Customer Synchronization between ecc & crm etc. Doing them in oData style seems like overkill to me when you can use the IDOCs/ALEs and you do not need the data to be transferred over HTTP.
Both Gateway and PI are targeted for different scenarios and have their own place, and as such the right product should be evaluated carefully for each scenario.
Just my two cents.

Intigrating SAP and Non-SAP system for recruitment process

Hi All,
Our Client has a requirement which is related to Recruitment.The requirement is that the employee resumes ,photos and credentils are stored in legacy system.The shortlisted resumes sud be transferred into SAP and the hiring process sud be done in SAP.After the hiring process , the status of the applicants sud be triggered in the legacy system and not in the SAP system.
Is there any Standard BAPI's for this requirement. Any Workflow is involved in this requirement.
As a HR Abaper i need to give the complete technical details for this requirement. Pls advice me on this .This is very urjent.
Points will be awarded.
Many Thanks,
Chakradhar Maddina

what is this 3rd party application?
if anyways they are using SAP for masterdata, why dont they use the same for applicant data?
ok for whatever the reason they have decided that..only way looks like is to do it manually,
create a bdc/lsmw for the hiring process and let them use it regularly for hiring all the selected applicants in a single go.
as for updating their system with the updated status, again i think they should do it manually.or maybe if their legacy system allows mass data update/chages.
becoz you do the creation of BDC/LSMW only once not everytime you want to hire.. i think its an easir process. also wait for other experts to give their feed back you may get some valuable info.
hope it helps

About integration between SAP and non-SAP applications via javaidoc classes

Hi,All
Now we are implementing a SAP-Retail project,we encounter a problem of integration between SAP and non-SAP applications(POS),we want to set Inbound/Outbound between SAP and POS applications realtimely,POS can connect to the SAP system via VPN,weather it can be implemented?
I conceive to implement it with SAP Java Connector IDoc Class,I don't know weather it is the best solution?If not,please give some other proposal.
I have download the classes from SAP website and try it with the samples provided by SAP(JCoIDocSample1.java/JCoIDocSample3.java),In my testing,Inbound is succeed,but,in SAP-Retail IS,standard Outbound message type is defined via file port,some one told me that SAP Java Connector IDoc Class can only receive idocs from tRFC port?is it true?If not,please tell me how to deploy in SAP so java program can receive idocs from file port?

We too are interested in finding information on integration between SAP and Intergraph. Were you able to obtain information and I was wondering if could share this with us.
Thanks,

SSO for SAP and Non-SAP applications without Enterprise Portal

Dear all,
Is it possible to implement SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without involvement of EP at all?
I have gone through this link.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm</a>
But I still i am not able to get the precise answer on how to enable SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without EP.
We have decided not to implement EP in first phase of SAP implementation. But we need to enable SSO for other SAP and Non-SAP applications.
A detailed description on how to deal this kind of scenarios will be helpful.
Thanks.

A client of our's uses SAP Enterprise Portal, and is using the SAP SSO, which is implemented with tickets, and requires the use of SAPSECULIB. My company provides an application for this client, and our application in hosted in our data center for the client, as a Software as a Service application, obviously across the internet. Our client, which owns a SAP license, has asked that we support the SAP SSO as a non-SAP SSO application. The client user's SSO ticket will be created from SAP EP, and then passed across the internet to our application, and we are to use that SSO ticket as an authentication ticket to our application. I beleive I know how to do this work technically, having reviewed the SAP document named: "Dynamic Library for Verifying SSO Tickets in Third-Party Software" Specification Version 2.00 December 2005.
My question is, does my company have the right to use the SAPSECULIB? Where is the official download and license download, that indicates we can download this library, and use it to support a SAP customer? We do not own a SAP license. Thank you for your help. I have searched many places in SAP support.

Connect b/w SAP and Non SAP -system

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to connect between a SAP system and Non-Sap System.
the front end is an E-Build tool (for construction Industry) from where the user will pick the data and the data should get store at the backend i.e in the SAP system.
E-build is a tool for construction industry with lots of flexible options for the user to check for their house, along with their prices.
These all data needs to be captured and store at the backend.
Can any one suggest me which method shall i go for this in ABAP(and How) or need to go for the XI-Netweaver or EP technology.
Thanks & Regards
Mona

you better to go for middleware tools . keep files( whichs contains data to be stored in SAP) in one folder at 3p systems and middleware adapters will pick that filles automatically and sent it to Application server or then process the data into SAP.

Idoc b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .

hi gurus,
how i pass an outbound idoc b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .
which function module we will use in this scenerio for inbound and outbound idoc both
please guide me with an example .

Hi Pawan,
Non SAP system should have RFC adapter in order to receive and send Idocs from/to SAP.
If this is not your case, you should us a Integrator Middelware with RFC and standard adapters like SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
If for example, your non SAP system is able to process data from flat files you can build next interface: SAP send Idocs to middleware that receive them using RFC adapter, middelware maps Idocs into flat file and send it to a one of non SAP system folder using FTP adapter. Non sap system triggers the flat file into its applications.
Reward points if useful.

SAP and Non-SAP data to Xcelsius

Hi Experts,
I m new to Xcelsius and i a m currently working on Xcelsius project, i need help on approach to bring both SAP and Non-SAP data to Xcelsius. Here the scenario goes on....
Total 6 plants are there, out of 6, 4 plants are on SAP and other 2 plants are on Non-SAP (Excel)
The requirement is to develop a dashboard to see all the plants details (both SAP and Non-SAP)
The approach i suggested for SAP: ECC --> BW --> InfoProvider --> Query --> QaaWS --> Xcelsius
For non-sap, data is available in excel, so we can bring that data directly to xcelsius, but problem is how to make it dynamaic because data in excel changes daily.
So my doubt is, if i develop a universe on excel files, then how to combine both SAP and Non-SAP universes. Is Data Federator is required for this or is there any approach to bring both SAP and Non-SAP data to Xcelsius.
Can any one help me on this
Thanks & Regards
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

hi
Another approach which i have used in the past is to have data in XML format, placed on a web server. When my data changes daily, i just export my data from excel or whatever source into the XML format..
Use the XML data connector to bring into xcelsius.
thanks.. hope this helps

Hello Banjo62
Try testing that issue out within a new user on your Mac. If it does the same thing, then you will need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.
Thank you

Unicode ERP and non-unicode Dealer Business Management 5.00(DBM)

Hi All,
We are going to adapt SAP Dealer Business Management 5.00(DBM)industry-specific solution to our local(serbian)language.For this we need following install steps:
1.ERP ECC 5.0
2.DIMP ECC 5.0
3.DBM 5.0
Is it possible to proceeds on sach way because we have Unicode ERP ECC 5.0, but on other hand DBM 5.0 is non-unicod?
In case it is possible, please give me some ideas on it.
Thanks in advance
Predrag

Hi Predrag,
How is DBM installed? In the same system as an add-on or a separate system? If it's an add-on, then they would have to have the same codepage. If it's in a separate system, then there are some possible data loss "issues" when the sending system is Unicode and the receiving system is non-Unicode. If the sending system sends a character that is not on the recieving system's codepage, the data is "garbage". There are no such problems with Unicode->Unicode and non-Unicode->Unicode communication.

Matt

Interface b/w SAP and NON SAP system

Hi GEMS,
Please give me some suggestion .My requirement is i have to transfer data from sap system to non sap system.
There is no middleware between these systems.The data will be in the xml format.
Please help me regarding these how can we link these systems and transfer data
Best Regards,
Phani

Please let us us know the platform of the non-sap system such as JAVA/.Net. It's can be done using PI/XI.
As per my experience, I've worked with only SAP JCO and .NET connectors. These connectors can be downloaded from service marketplace and needs to be installed on the non SAP platform. The Data transfer can be done through RFCs, which will be called from the non-sap systems.
Also, the data needs to be in XML format. XML transformations can be created using transaction XSLT_TOOL to convert the ABAP data to XML and viceversa. The generated XML string can be passed to non SAP system through RFC from SAP.
If the process is not synchronous, another option can be dumping the SAP data to FTP, which will be used by the non-sap system whenever required.

Regarding the Service Registry in SAP PI 7.1 and non SAP System ....!

Hi All ,
I need to know answers for the below Question ...hope to get some answers frm Experts ....
1) How to publish service from non-SAP systems?
2) How to use discovered service in the Service Registry for consumer/provider scenario? With some examples.
Thanks in Advace ...!
Regards ,
Aziz khan .
Edited by: Aziz khan on Sep 16, 2009 11:43 AM

Hi,
1) How to publish service from non-SAP systems?
Publish Service is nothing but making WSDL of that service available. For that you need to Publish the WSDL of the web Service to UDDI. For Non SAP system, Lik .net , Java they have there oun APIs to do so. U can search on net to get it.
For Ex. below link.
http://www.startvbdotnet.com/web/publish.aspx
2) How to use discovered service in the Service Registry for consumer/provider scenario? With some examples.
Once you discover the services, you get the WSDL of that Service. Then You can import this WSDL in IR and you it.
See the below links.

What is best way to connect a non-sap sys sending xml idocs to SAP system

Hi Can some one please guide as to what will be the best approach in connecting a NON SAP system to a SAP system.
The non sap system should not be connected to access real time data,it does not support RFC,it can send data in IDOC xml format and i think in teaxt files also.Also I dont think there is any EDI subsystem in place.
There has to be a periodic upload of material data from SAP /stock status/
then there will be incoming data into SAP for sales order/purchase order etc
What would be the best way to connect the two systems,IDOCs with partial EDI looks the best way ,but I am confused as to how will the XML IDOC be converted to normal IDOC and viceversa,how to handle the event triggering mechanism.
If someone has experience in such a scenario ,please help.
There is a option to update the database of the application through SQL also...

Hi,
