Typical XI Integration Challenge - suggestions needed

Hello Forum,
I am a very enthusiastic SDN user and have been following the community since a long while now. I have the following challenge at one of our clients and need expert advices, remarks and suggestions based on your knowledge and experience. I have addressed this post also to the Industry Speak as I think this might also be useful to other SAP Partners which are involved in various XI implementations.
We have a typical SAP Integration Project where XI was finalised as "The Integration Solution". We have over 160 Interfaces which are mostly IDOC to File (vice versa) scenarios involving a range of legacy systems. In addition to that we have a number of as-is SAP-SAP scenarios which are realised over BAPI's as of date, which we plan to get realised over XI using RFC Adapters and possibly with Proxies when ever required. Our aim now is to consolidate the number of interfaces where ever possible to avoid the huge number of point-point interfaces. We would really appreciate your valued suggestions/experiences on this.
1. Advantages / Disadvantages of using the IDOC Adapters with in XI instead of the ALE interfaces.
2. What are the possiblities of consolidating the different File Interfaces to talk to one IDOC interface hence reducing the number of point-point interfaces. To put more precisely, multiple senders one or more recievers.
3. I have come to read a lot about IDOC Packaging, how can this be use in a situation as briefed above.
4. Would it be said feasible to get the BAPI Integration Scenarios, running over the Proxy runtime and calling the BAPI's inernally ?
These are the few topics that we would like to discuss with the forum. Due to restriction we are posting this under a strange but in true meaning of the name "XI interest" :-).
Thanking in anticipation,
XI Interest.

Hi XI Interest !!!
<i>>>1. Advantages / Disadvantages of using the IDOC Adapters with in XI instead of the ALE interfaces.</i>
Go thru this thread:
Re: Why is it better to use Proxies and not adapters
<i>>>multiple senders one or more recievers.</i>
Just some configuration in ID (Receiver Determination, Interface Determination).

What are the BODS Integration Challenges with SFDC?

What are the Integration Challenges while working with SFDC?
As in market many CRMs are present specifically want to know what challenges one needs to face if he choose SFDC CRM with BODS.
Challenges may comes under data type, data model, security level, configuration, data structure, mapping structure...etc.

Hosted Apps are the last remaining hurdle that I'm aware of.
See http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2012/12/07/using-sharepoint-apps-with-saml-and-fba-sites-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx.
However, for SSO, take a look at the Web Application Proxy role in Server 2012 R2 combined with ADFS 3.0.

Suggestions needed please!

I just bought an ipad 3 and when I connected to my computer it said "Not Charging". Also, not able to sync with itunes. Suggestions needed please!

Most usb ports do not provide enough power to charge your ipad, plug into a wall outlet to charge. If you leave it plugged into the computer and the computer goes to sleep, it can actually drain the battery.

BW-BO integration challenge

Hello Experts,
Could someone probably suggest a good approach to my design issue.
Scenario: WEBi report on a BW Query Universe + Teradata Universe for Top X customers.
The selection for Top X (Where X is a variable) is by default 20 and has the option changing it (by user at run time). The BW universe is created on a query, which is created on a multicube which is built on 4 different infocubes.
The query runs and returns a huge set of data and does not filter the Top X in BW but does the filtering at the WEBi report level. This is a performance hit. (takes about 12 minutes). Is there a way to restrict the data that BW query returns to WEBi, so we can tackle that performance issue.
Question: Is there a way to use a user exit variable in the query and let it read from a global variable table and can we update the global variable table from WEBi dynamically from the users filter selection.
Please let me know if you have an alternative approach.
Thanks

Hi,
conditions are not supported for the Web Intelligence integration in Xi 3.1 so you need to look at other options to limit the overall result - for example a custom ranking expression in the Universe.

Checklist for SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI 3.1 integration - Challenges

Hi Users who have successfully configured SAP BO XI 3.1 with SAP BI 7.0,
We are preparing to install SAP Integration Kit and follow through on the steps (..that I have come across in some of the docs on these forums ) that would enable our users to report using BO - Webi.
I would like to know what are the major challenges you have faced ? How did you resolve them or get around them?
I would like to know who are all the mandatory technical people (eg., sap security guy, BO admin,... ) that needs to be a part of this effort. What would be their specific role ? When would each of these guys come into the scope without whom we cant do this successfully?
What would be the basic checklist of things , hardware /software (eg., Service Pack #, SAP Notes, Universe version,..) that would go along with SAP BO XI 3.1 and SAP BI 7.0 that we would have to do before/while installing Integration Kit make our job as smooth as possible?
What are the DONT's and DO's of this work?
How to make sure the this process is optimized / justified (performance wise, ..)?
Are there any specific documents which shows the screenshots of this whole process end to end (i.e.,successfully install, configure, create/design the 1st Universe in BO based on BEx query, create the 1st query in BO, create the 1st report in BO, let the user view/edit/modify the report)?
Responses from anyone who has gone through all these steps smoothly & successfully (which might include tips, tricks) are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

SP18 should be OK. We're at SP19. Again, a fair number of MDX related OSS Notes in SP20 and 21. Some integration enhancements are only being made to EHP1, so if you do apply SP, you might as well go to EHP1, e.g. Thomas Zureks has a couple of blogs on some of the enhancements
/people/thomas.zurek/blog/2009/03/06/better-performance-for-universe-based-access-to-bw
/people/thomas.zurek/blog/2009/03/16/faster-universe-based-access-to-bw-via-mdx
There are good things coming in WebI later in 2009. Of great interest to BW / WebI customers I think will be a feature called Query Stripping that is supposed to come in WebI SP3. In BEx, you can create a query with many free characteristics, which really provides the query user with a guided ad-hoc capability, where they can pull any of the free characteristics into a report. BEx does not include free characteristics in the generated SQL until the user specifically adds it to their report, so there is there is no performance impact of having several free characteristics available for use. This lets you have one BEx query that is extremely versatile.
A WebI document on the other hand, includes all objects in the query in the generated SQL, even though they are not actually used in a report. With query stripping, if the object is not used in the report, WebI can (as an option) remove references the the object(s) from the generated SQL. This gives you the same potential in WebI, to create a query with many objects in it, abd the user can drag them in / out of the report, providing you the ability to create one WebI query that can be the basis for for much more reporting.

Knowledge sharing and suggestion needed on ABAP Web dynpro.. Kindly reply..

Hi SAP experts,
I just want to put you all on my approach for one of the developments and needed some inputs from you great people.
First of all Thanks for taking your time.
I am on CRM 5.0 integrated to PCUI portal. I need to develop an ABAP Webdynpro which has to be intergrated to portal as an iView.
Currently there is a WDA1, which displays the Service Confirmation number with a link. Once the link is clicked I have to call a different WDA2.
The WDA2 has the following sections --
Section one - header details of Service conf-- all input fields
Section two - item details ( table with more than one record) - need to allow to add new items or delete items
Section three -- item level details of the item selected in section two - all input fields
Section four -- item table( with some data) - Here at runtime on a condition i have to display item table 1 or item table 2, dynamically i have to decide which table to display basd on Serive conf.
When I select a new record in Section two, section three and four should change based on the item i selected on sectoin two.
My questions ---
1. How can i pass the Service conf number from WDA1 to WDA2, how to get the Service conf in WDA2.
I m trying to use CALL METHOD l_portal->navigate_absolute, with URL and value. But i dont know how
to read this value in WDA2.
2. I gone through this VERY GOOD Doc on creating subnodes.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/70d9d4b6-5c9e-2a10-dcb2-e396fddeb6e8
Can i acheive my task by this or do i need to create new context nodes for each section and then bind_table or bind_structure ?
3. For section four, how can i at runtime based on one IF condition decide, which table( UI element with records ) to display on view ?
I hope this will help someone atleast on the business concept and WDA level, and with your valuable inputs I can clear my confusion on WDA.
Kindly take some time to give ur suggestions.
I appreciate you all, and thanks again.

EPM v11.1.2.3-suggestion needed

Our client is using older version of Hyperion Enterprise for their financial consolidation and reporting.
They are planning to implement latest version of Hyperion so we suggsted them to go for HFM v11.1.2.3 latest version.
I have few questions and need couple of suggestions from all you experts :-
1. They have source system as JD Edwards in place and they wanted to integrate data integration with HFM.Have we suggseted them correct version,to migrate from Enterprise to HFM 11.1.2.3 ?
2. What modules should we suggest them to implement in a greenfield implementation ,mostly in terms of data integration: FDM or FDMEE? What is more appropriate,on what basis should we decide that .
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
With regard to your queries, please find below some of the key points to be noted
1. As Hyperion Enterprise system is having limited number of dimensions and on the other hand Hyperion Financial Management system has the capability to handle unlimited number of dimensions to accomodate customer specific business requirements in the financial reporting application as much as possible. First of all we need to understand the business requirements and also client should be aware of HFM 11.1.2.3 features so that they can utilize the software features to a maximum extent. If the customer is expecting major changes in terms of metadata structure before implementing into HFM system, kindly design the application structure as per HFM product features
2. Coming to the requirement for data integration, older versions of FDM can be used as well. If we use FDMEE, then we can integrate Metadata and Data from source system like JD Edwards to Hyperion Financial Management system. Most preferable to use FDMEE as it has very good features to streamline the data and metadata integration.
Best Regards.

Urgent Suggestions needed for best way to solve the problm

Hi Everybody,
I am working on an application which has to graphically show the data in the database. We are using JSP for the front end (the view for the time being will be simple, with text boxes and frames and DHTML) and tomcat as the Server. The data is huge and there ain't much business logic involvd (the user when he clicks on a URL I get the data pertaining to that particular table or column). Now my question is can Tomcat handle such huge data. What do u guys suggest, should I cache data at my server and server to the clients (instead of connecting to the DB for each and every request) If yes, can you guys please suggest a good way to cache data, I mean hat TableModel or HashMap will store data from different tables. Also the DB isn't updated for a while everyday. Also let me know if any of u guys still think a 3 -tier approach is advisable instead of the 2-tir approach
Thanks guys who made it this far

Well, of course a 3-tier approach is advisable. Also, yes, Tomcat can handle what you are doing. As far as caching data on the server, that is going to depend on your database and other requirements. Now about the graphical nature, you aren't going to be able to use JSP to draw graphics. The only way you can do it is to draw the graphics on the server-side, write out JPG files, but then the JSP won't know anything about where the image is, unless you always write the same number of images, in the same place, every time. Otherwise, you need an Applet. Hope that helps.

Difficult Install Conditions: Suggestions Needed

Hey,
I have a bit of a challenging situation to figure out a good solution to...
Background:
I would like to acquire a VPS from a good company in town. They offer virtual machines that run Ubuntu by default, but also mentioned that they will install any ISO I provide them. They use KVM as their hypervisor, and all their machines obviously have static IP addresses. I would trust them, but the reasons I like them are also the reasons they seem shady (accept anonymous cash to setup anonymous VPS's, etc.)
Problem:
I'm a paranoid person by default... I am not very happy with the idea of other people installing the OS that I will be running, even though they technically have complete memory access from the hypervisor. I personally want to make the task of subverting the machine a high bar (which, again, I realise is futile when they control the hypervisor... lets ignore that for now).
The end result I'm looking for is to have a fully configured installation in their VM without the local site operator ever having to insert a temporary root password, or generally have access to a root shell on the new install.
The three options I had considered (though not too in depth because I'm trying to avoid biasing myself in favour of any particular solution... Outside the box thinking and all...):
First (1st) wrote:
Create a custom ISO that will perform all installation operations automagically. Pop in disk, boot, auto-partitions drive, formats required partitions, prepares disk contents, configures network information (assuming they give it to me in advance), installs GRUB, eject disk and reboot. Fully automated and likely an ideal candidate because the admin should love not having to touch a thing (if it all works).
Some information regarding modifying the ISO is here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Re … nstall_ISO
Not sure exactly how to go about all of that, but I'm certain it's not impossible. To avoid saving the root password in plaintext I would likely have to pre-create a passwd/shadow file, or something of that nature.
Related to this idea is to have a boot disk that simply dd's a prepared disk image over the hard disk (any leftover space that doesn't fit into the partition table can be added later).
Second (2nd) wrote:
Prepare a KVM drive image that matches their specifications and ask them to use that instead of doing an install.
This MIGHT work, but means they would have to share with me a lot of their internal setup to make sure that I configure everything correctly. Might get push-back from this option...
Third (3rd) wrote:
Accept their Ubuntu installation, and then (without loosing SSH access) install Arch and convert the system while it is live.
I don't know if this is entirely possible because of only having SSH access. I would have to install Arch to a new partition (easy), change grub to point to that partition (easy), reboot (hoping that all ssh and network settings are perfect), delete the Ubuntu partition, etc.
Is it possible to end with a completely clean Arch install at the end of such an endeavour operating purely by ssh?
Maybe I'm missing some other options! Please let me know if anyone can think of one I'm missing, or if one of them just simply won't work for some reason... Perhaps some good improvements can be made?
What do you guys think?

To 3.
You can install arch from a chroot environment. There's even a guide in archwiki.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
I've done it before. The only things you have to be careful about if you plan on booting into arch make sure you set the daemons properly (ssh), your network settings and network daemon ... rerecheck grub.
As to you other suggestions I think this is a much simpler approach, Just make sure your grub entries are right before booting, If you get something wrong then you won't be able to boot into any OS.

........ Expert suggestion needed for Loading Data in DB

Hi all
The current requirement we have is to Load data from Excel File to oracle Databases.
The Excel file has around 30 Sheets , each corresponds to a table, ( means 30 tables in the database) .
Currently we are using sqlldr commands to load data from CSV files to the Oracle Database. The only problem is that sometime the DBA has to go out or is busy workign on somthing else, so May i kindy get some expert suggestions on how to automate this DataLoading Task.
Somebody has suggested to My Manager ( who is not aware of oracle and IT at all) that data can be loaded via ODBC. It is suggested to him that all we need to do is to place the CSV files on the Server at a particular folder and Oracle will do the rest.
I am not that proficient in Data loading methods.. so may i know any technique which will simplify/automate the Task.
I mean how can we automate so that every time , the the sql loader scripts run at command promt. I think data base ( Oracle ) as nothing to do with command promt i feel. isnt it ..
Kindly have ur expert./experienced suggestions.
I would be highly grateful to all
Regards

To automate sqlldr scripts, you would usually write a OS script file that will periodically looks for files in a given directory and run the sqlldr commands:
- on Windows: .bat or .wsh files to be scheduled with "at" command or windows scheduled tasks tool
- on Unix: a script shell in the crontab.
Much more complicate but without any OS script:
- write a PL/SQL code to read, parse the file to be loaded using UTL_FILE
package
- this PL/SQL code must also generate INSERT statements and process errors ...
- this PL/SQL code can be scheduled with DBMS_JOB package to run a periodic intervals.

Suggestion needed for processing Big Files in Oracle B2B

Hi,
We are doing a feasibility study for Using Oracle AS Integration B2B over TIBCO. We are presently using TIBCO for our B2B transactions. Now since my client company planning to Implement Fusion Middleware (Oracle ESB and Oracle BPEL), we are also looking at Oracle AS Integration B2B for B2B transactions (On other words we are planning to replace TIBCO by Oracle Integration B2B if possible).
I am really concern about one thing that is receiving and processing any "BIG FILE" (15 MB of size) from trading partner.
Present Scenario: One of our trading partner is sending Invoice documents in a single file and that file size can grow upto 15 MB of size. In our existing scenario when we receive such big files from trading partner (through TIBCO Business Connect - BC), Tibco BC works fine for 1 or 2 files but it crashes once it received multiple files of such size. What exactly happening is Whatever Memory that TIBCO BC is consuming to receive one such big file, are not getting released after processing and as a result TIBCO BC throws "OUT OF MEMORY" error after processing some files.
My questions:
     1. How robust the Oracle AS Integration B2B is, in terms of processing such big files?
     2. Is there any upper limit in terms of size that Oracle AS Integration B2B can handle for receiving and processing data?
     3. What is the average time required to receive and process such big file? (Lets say we are talking about 15MB of size).
     4. Is there any documentation availble that talks about any such big files through Oracle B2B?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks in advance.

Suggestion needed urgently !!!!!

Hi Experts,
Our system configuration is
Usage: Central User Administration
Component Version: Web AS 620 ABAP
Operating System: AIX 5.2
Database: 9.2.0.6
DB Size: 110 GB
We also have GRC products installed and as per OSS notes there are limitations of using CUA with GRC products. (Note 1099011 - Limitations of using the CUA with the GRC products)
We are planning to upgrade the current CUA to NW AS 700.
We have following types of child systems are connected with CUA
APO 3.0A, SAP Solution Manager 4.0, CRM 5.0, SAP SCM 4.0, SCM 4.10, SCM 5.00, SAP NetWeaver 2004s, Netweaver 04, SAP ECC 6.0, SAP R/3 Enterprise, R/3 release 4.6C
Please suggest what will be impact of CUA upgrade to NW AS 700.
What will be features and benefits of the same?
Please suggest urgently.

Fixed it with the help from a very clever colleague, thanks again to him :)
We put two partitions (in my case) PT_Transformation_Called and PT_Transformation_Calling in, also two CSS with the respective Partitions within them in the system. Afterwards removed all manipulations elsewhere, for example routepatterns or routelist, set these to "Cisco Callmanager".
Then put in some Calling and Called Transformation Patterns, on exactly these partitions, where i do my needed Digit manipulation and setting to TON and Numbering Plan.
Then i used these new CSSs on the endpoint itself, thats their only purpose, doing the transformations THERE.
So my "Called Party Transformation CSS" is now "CSS_Transformation_Called", and the "Calling Party Transformation CSS" is now "CSS_Transformation_Calling", under "Call Routing Information - Outbound Calls". Thats it. I can do any manipulations now there, quite comfortable.
Thats the lesson from my colleague i got yesterday, solved my problem, everything regarding that works now fine.
More time left for my other problems now, for example a CUPS installation that stops after a while now everytime, with an unrecoverable error...nice... :(
