Hi Guru,
It is possible manage with SRM 7.0 component ROS the qualification process for a Temporary Business Association.

This is a system of collaboration between companies lasting for a certain time, which may be determinate or indeterminate, for the purpose of carrying out or executing a construction project, service or supply.
Thanks

Using SRM for very large contracts and contract management

We are doing an SRM 7.01 implementation project. SRM will be used primarily for outsourced contract management. The contracts are all services associated with facilitites (plant) maintenance and also support services like cleaning or catering.
They have very large numbers of items priced individually (e.g. 10,000) per contract. The items price depends on the location the work is expected to be performed. The location is represented in SAP RE-FX architectual object. The price can be priced at any level of the hierarchy e.g. service A is priced the same across the whole state but service B is priced per campus.
q1. SAP advises that there are performance limitations on SRM contracts >2000 lines. Has anyone experience in a solution to provide very large contracts in SRM? How did you do it please?
q2. SAP advises to use the plant to represent the location for pricing purposes, but this would result in a very large number of plants. Has any one experience in alternative solutions to for variable location pricing in SRM contracts please? I.e. like integrating the RE-FX architectural object or similar into contract and PO line items.
thanks very much

Hi Prakash,
SRM does provide the facility of contract management with the help of Purchase Contracts and Global Outline Agreements but it is used as part of the sourcing for materials and services. The materials or services have contracts against some given target value against which PO is released. The contract is based on a material number ( eithe material or a service) which will be used as a source of supply during the creation of the Shopping Cart. It might not really fit in the scenario of carrier and freight forwarders but still can be customized for this kind of use.
The contract management functionalities in the R/3 space can also be looked on for this purpose.

Business Contact Manager 2013 Issue with drop down menus not working correctly and BCM disappearing.

We upgraded from BCM 2007 to BCM 2013. Now the BCM disappears from Outlook occasionally and the drop down menus are confused. for instance when accessing the drop down for phone numbers, the user selects company - but the field for TTY/TDD comes up.
Shows fields that don't exist etc.
The client is using Office 2013 Pro Premium from Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription and BCM downloaded from Microsoft website.
Please let me know what the support avenues are for this product.
Chris Smith

Hi,
This issue may be caused since the BCM was not installed properly.
Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook and Uninstall it.
Then go to
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36513, download the right version of BCM(32bit or 64bit) and install it.
If issue persists, you may provide the screenshots of the issue, post them to SkyDrive and share it via a link:https://skydrive.live.com/, then we will have a better understanding on the issue.
Thanks,

Using a data source configured in Business View Manager?

Post Author: Rob
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,We're using Crystal Enterprise 10 service pack 6 on Server 2003 and I'm having a bit of a problem (surprise)! I've configured a data source in Business View Manager with the intention of the users not having to enter a password for the data source in a report. However, the data source has been stored in the repository but is not visible anywhere within Crystal Reports or the Enterprise web site at all. Any pointers as to the usage of said data source would be gratefully received!Thanks in advance,Rob

You created a datasource connection in the BV Manger and then what?Did you make the corresponding Data Foundation, Business Element, and Business View?You can only report off the business view not a datasource.

How to find required information in order to log on Business View Manager?

After Business Object Client installation successfully, I try to log on Business View Manager, but failed. One pop-up windows(Log on BusinessObjects Enterprise) come and let me put the information as below;
System:
User name:
Password:
Authentication:
Could anyone let me know how to find the above required information? Thanks!

You need to find this information from a person who installed server part of this deployment.
System: Name of the CMS server
User name: Administrator or other user name that exist in the Enterprise
Password: obviously...
Authentication: type of the authentication setup on the server side for the user you will be using.

LOVs in Business View Manager

Hi All,
I know the implementation of dynamic cascading parameters using list of values in Crystal XI.
But i need some information regarding Business View Manager.
Country > Region > City - This is my desired cascading parameter. For creating this parameter, what should be my data foundation?
Select country,region,city from customer
Can i use this query in my data foundation? I think this will duplicate the values inside country and region...
Please help me in this issue....
Thanks,
Meena

If you're interested in getting the best performance for your DCP, try this article:
[Crystal Reports XI R1 And R2 Dynamic Cascading Prompt Performance 1.8|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e073744a-693f-2b10-b5b8-b216437cb007]
I'd recommend the chapter "Cascading LOV Data Access Tuning", it explains how you can configure your LOV to ensure on-demand access for each level of the LOV.

Issue with creating List of Values in Business View Manager

Hi,
Could any one help me to figure out what this issue refers to?
When i created a List of Values in Business View Manager, it is throwing the following error!!!!
The List of Values used by this parameter cannot be based on a Business View derived from the current Data Foundation or Business Element.
Prior to creating LoV, i've done successfully with creating Data connection, Data foundation, Business element and Business View..
Thanks
Viswa

Hi Visaw,
Firstly,
-->Open Repository Explorer,
-->where you are have related DF,DC,BV,BEand LOV's
-->Right click on LOV's -->There you can find Schedule list of values.Then schedule list of values and check if it prompts for errors.
If you face the same problem, what is the error you are getting.
Else try to use the LOV's and proceed further.
-->Check whether the LOV's are pointing to the same Business View and check the Business view pointing to the same Datafoundation.
If you are facing the same problem then try with the below steps:
-->Try to Create a report at designer level Using then Business view
-->Create two new parameters and select the existing parameters(LOV parameter's)
-->Check whether it is working.
-->If you face the same problem ,Update the connection of Business view manager.
Go to Database tab-->Select Set DataSource location and update it with current Businessview Manager.
Try this ,and let us know.

Navin

How could I install outlook with business contact manager 2007 in windows 8.1 system?

Recently I got a new 8 win pc, then I tried to instal Outlook with business contact manager 2007 but I couldn´t
The reason: sql server is not compatible. Would you please let me know how to fix that problem?

Hi CarlosZC,
Since the issue regards Outlook with business contact manager 2007. I suggestion you post the question in the Outlook forums at
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook?tab=question&status=all&auth=1. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
According to your description, we need to verify the version of the SQL Server, usually the warning of compatibility issues applies to all SQL Server Express editions when installing Business Contact Manager (BCM) 2007 on Windows 7/8. The incompatibility
was fixed in SQL Server 2008 Service Pack1 and SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 on Windows 7.
There is a similar issue about compatibility message when installing BCM 2007 on Windows 7, you can review the following article.

How to manage a data file using Business Contact Manager database tool

I set up BCM on my desktop and now want to share with the rest of the office. I downloaded BCM database tool on the C drive
of the server and all was well until I tried to move through the wizard. The only option that gets me to a data file is creating a database. However, I receive the error message "Cannot create a new database. The operation has been rolled back. Please
make sure the database service is running". How can I make this work? Truthfully, I don't want to create a new database - I have already set one up; Restore only gives me the database server instance but no choices for the database name list. I have installed
BCM on another co-workers desktop and allowed the database to be shared with her. What more am I missing? Why can't I get the server to see the data file?

Hi,
If the Database has not been shared, you can't connect to it.
Please also confirm you have been granted permission to access the shared Business Contact Manager database.
You can refer to this article below and there are some factors that you should consider:
Business Contact Manager cannot connect to the shared database
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/business-contact-manager-cannot-connect-to-the-shared-database-HA010262548.aspx

Connecting to a database through Business View Manager

Hi,
I am connecting to various application databases (Oracle) using the Business View Manager. When does the connection between my Business View Manager Data Connection and my application database gets "released"? If I have scheduled, say a report to run every 0800 hrs, does the connection cease after the report run has completed?

I can't tell from your post if you're concerned about db connections being left open too long or if you want them to remain open for use by other documents. But there is a setting on the CRProcessingServer called "Allow Report Jobs to Stay Connected to the Database until the Report Job is Closed" which helps control this. Default is unchecked. However, I believe a report job when scheduled closes the db connection at the end as part of its closing steps. It's possible you are seeing a connection left open until the jobtimeout triggers (which is another setting in the CMC on the same CRprocserver page).
You may want to monitor the database while scheduling a new report to see the session open. And then watch it after the scheduled job finishes to see how long it takes to close out.

Regarding Oracle Business Process Manager and WS-Security

Hi All,
Actually I like to invoke couple of secure services running on seperate
server runnnig JWSDP.These services are using WS-security,so I am just
wondering if it possible to call these webservices through Oracle
Business Process Manager.
As our secure services are using JWSDP so thats the reason we prefer to
use the BPEL engine which deployed on top of JWSDP so that We dont
have to confront with compatable issues among different toolkits.
So I am just wondering do you think that Oracle business process manager
ws-secuirity implementation can use the JWSDP implementation i.e
xws-security implementation,in otherwords is it possible to use JWSDP
with Oracle business process manager for using the ws-security?Thanks.
I would appreciate your help.
Kashif

yes we do native in Oracle BPEL PM (username token) - as explained here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/documents/bpel_admin_10.1.3.1.0.pdf page 30
for more sophisticated ws sec stuff, pls use Oracle Webservice Manager
