Use of software components & products

Hi friends,
What is the use of defining software components and products in IR.
Please help me with the answers.
Thanks
suresh.

HI
Product: Represents a collection of all versions of a product. A product is a unit that can be delivered, is visible to the customer, and that is installable and renewable. In an SAP environment, a product corresponds to an SAP technical component.
A software product (such as SAP R/3) may exist in multiple versions (such as 4.6c, 4.6d, and 4.7)
A Software Product is composed of one or more software components. For instance, the product R/3 version 4.6C has components:
SAP BASIS
SAP APPL
Software Component: Represents a collection of all versions of a software component. Software components represent the reusable modules of a product. They can be upgraded or have patches installed.
A software component is a unit of software delivery that has its own support package track. Examples of Software Components are SAP_APPL, SAP_ABA, SAP_HR, etc.
Software components combine components (DCs) to larger units for delivery and deployment.
u2022 Every top-level component must be assigned to exactly one software component.
u2022 Child components always belong to the same software component as their parent.
u2022 Software components cannot be nested into each other.

Update software components / Products in Solution Manager (SMSY)

Hello,
How can I update Software components / Products in Solution Manager (SMSY) or when this will be updated?
I think I don't have an updated list of all software components because I install SAP SRM 7.0 EhP1 Java and I only have SAP SRM 7.0 version.
Best regards,
Filipe Sacadura Botte

Hi Filipe.
You do not need to maintain your system manually in SMSY. It will be a hard work if you need to update the SMSY every time you upgrade your system.
I will try to explains you how it works.
Firstly, you have to register your system to the Solman SLD.
For ABAP system it is done through the transaction RZ70 and for JAVA system it is done through the Visual Administrator, refer to the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/7c/1966ab384d42a78deaebc74d33c032/content.htm
The managed system updates the SLD every day with all the system information which includes the software components.
In the Solution manager system the LANDSCAPE FETCH job runs everyday. This job gets the information from the SLD and updates the SMSY.
So, you have to ensure that this scenario is working in your systems.
Regards.
Allam

Which Software-Components / Products are needed

Hello,
i am thinking about using ORACLE Lite in the production of my company. There i want to make the machines independent from the main database server. I thought about installing a Lite-DB on each PC controlling a machine. This DB should then get the data needed for that machine an store the data it produces into this db. Then there should be a synchronization for example every 5 minutes where the data is exchanged with the main ORACLE-Server. With that configuration the machines would be independent from the main database and the production could continue even if the main server would not be available.
So my question is, which components do i need?
As far as i understand, i need a Lite-licence for every client. But do i need an Application Server? This would currently be the only thing the AS would be used for. I think that would be way to much overhead, just installing an AS for synchronization.

Oracle Lite Mobile Server runs in two configurations.
Standalone and Oracle Application Server.
It is suggested by Oracle that development environments use Standalone and
production environments use Oracle Application Server.

Product version inconsistent with software components

Hi,
after upgrading our sandbox from 4.6C to ERP 6.0 EHP4 SP06 i've changed the product assignment in SMSY and fetched the new data using "Read System Data Remote". Now there are two problems:
1.) Read System Data Remote shows error message S:032:000 trying to fetch data using RFC. No more explanations or long text. Although data is been read and updated and RFC test connection is ok.
2.) The related system shows exclamation mark "Product version inconsistent with software components". The product version is SAP ERP 6.0, Product Instance is SAP ECC Server. Now i tried "Change Product Assignment" and "Clean-Up Inconsistencies". This results in a list of "Inconsistent Database Assignments" like "Product: SAP ERP" and "Product Instance: SAP SRM-Server". Nothing i can change here. I'm confused as i haven't defined SAP SRM-Server anywhere just SAP ECC-Server.
Any ideas about 1.) or 2.)
It seems to me that Solution Manager doesn't make life easier in the first.
Thanks.

Miguel,
i have checked note 1165438 but can't see how this should help. The technical usage is correct and there is only one specified which is ECC / Central Applications. Still SMSY complains about SAP SRM-Server and more.
Let me say that the system was defined as 4.6C before the upgrade and that we used Solution Manager to download all required packages for ERP 6.0 EHP4 SP06 which worked fine. The problem is as said before that after changing the product version to ERP 6.0 there are inconsistencies shown on the product assignment page (inconsistent database assignment) for SAP SRM-Server, SRM-Catalog, cProject Suite, Workforce Management, E-Recruiting, NW-Business Intelligence, NW-Process Integration, SEM, SRM-Server ECC AddOn, SRM Catalog Content, NW Mobile Infrastructure, FSCM-FSCM Server (ABAP), Application Platform-IPC and Learning Sol-Frontend ABAP. Never heard about them nor specified them anywhere.

Software Components and Products

Hi,
I am new to XI.
There are many software components and products available in SLD. I wanted to know which site should I visit to determine the functions or get details of each products and software components.

Hi,
about Software Product and component go thru this part of SAP help-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/a2/2999ef97ea2b4790165f9ca5c05c41/frameset.htm
All standard SAP products and software components are shipped by SAP (SRM etc)
If you are planning to create a customer speicific components for the SAP SWCV, then create your own thridparty product based on SAP product, and then work on it. Now you can use dependency if you want make use of standard SAP delivered content.
Generally , thirdparty product is created based on the vendor and all the swcvs are created under that. Then all IR objects follow the same.
Have a look into this blog to get some hints-

Naming conventions/hierarchies for products and software components

Hi,
Can someone please advise what they have found works well for naming products and software components and recommended hierarchies?
Following the SAP model it seems to make sense to have a custom product for each SAP product when we are developing custom interfaces for the related system, e.g. ZPRODMYCOMPDEVS_R3, ZMYCOMPDEVS_CRM etc.
Beneath this level as similar convention could be used for the software component, e.g. ZSWCMYCOMPDEVS_CRM or if it is a modular SAP system like R/3 perhaps a grouping per key application area? (e.g. HR, Finance, Logistics etc)
I know it's not compulsory to start these with 'Z' but it would help group custom developments.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Transporting Products and Software components

Hi ALL,
I have two new products for which I have created the export file to be imported into the target system. The target system already contains few other products and Software components. Is it true that the new export file from source system will over write all entries in the target system?? or will it be an append ??
The " How to handle SLD for XI" doc tells that it will overwrite..I am a little concerned as there has been no SLD transports done in these boxes and all products currently in the target box have been manually created.

Anyone using a software product called "Neat recipt scanner"on a Mac that can tell me they like it?

Anyone using a software product called "Neat recipt scanner"on a MacBook Air that can tell me they like it?

I have it, and I do like it for what it is designed to do. That is not saying that I use it exclusively with my NEAT scanner. I use the Neat software when I am scanning and organizing financial related documents. That is all I use it (the software) for.
However, when I use the Neat scanner for PDF files, or image files, I prefer to use the OS X included, Image Capture app. I have not found the Neat software to be as usable for capturing images.

Trying to Remove iTunes software components because of 11.1.4 update error and using Windows 7 uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support does not work. Any suggestions?

Had error while updating Itunes to ver 11.1.4. I had 11.1.3.8 previously. Following instructions for Removing and Reinstalluing iTunes and other software components. Was able to uninstall iTunes and Apple Software Update, but attempts to do the same under Control Panel failed for Apple Mobile Device Support (ver 7.0.0.117). Directioons say to uninstall components in order given so I cannot continue until Apple Mobile Device Support is removed. Any suggestions?

Try reparing and then remove again if the repair is successful, otherwise move on to the next step. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more information.

Message interface does not exist in any software components installed on th

Message interface does not exist in any software components installed on this business system.
hello,
When I check the interfaces on the business systems of 1 technical system, none of them have sender or receiver interfaces, hance I can't use them. The interfaces should ofcourse be on the Directory.
I have deleted the business systems and the technical system and created them again, but no result.
The product and software componets are in the technical sytem and business systems.
Any help would be usefull.
thanks,
Job

Hello!
If someone will search in the future for this error, here is the solution:
The error occurs if the GUID of the software component at the SLD is different to the one at the repository. Please compare the GUID at the SLD -> Administration -> Content Maintenance -> Dropdown "Component Version" -> Dropdown "Software Component Version". At the Integration Repository you select the Software Component Version at at the tab "Keys" you find the related GUID.
The error occured because the Software component has been created manually at the system. The repository content came from another system via import with own SLD (and because of that with another GUID for the software component).
Kind regards,
Klaus

Message interface not exist in any software components on business system

Hi Experts,
In development-environment we have an interface (SAP->XI->3rd party system) with a conditional receiver determination (based upon a fieldvalue in RFC that comes from SAP, "CONTROL_RECEIPE_DOWNLOAD"). This functions properly in development.
After transport to production environment this structure is not known when I try to use it in the Integration Directory when creating a conditional receiver determination. Double-click on the interface does result in the startup of the integration builder, but the interface itself can not be found. The following error-message appears:
"Error message Message interface does not exist in any software components installed on this business system"
All design-objects have been put into production and in Integration Builder the structure is available. In IR it is not...
In development In the business system of the sending SAP system, I can see the interface. In production, I don't see any interfaces at the business system....so this might be the problem but how can I add an interface manually to a business system?
Can anybody please help?
Thanks in advance
William

Hi William,
One more thing. In Production, check the technical system of source. SWCV in which you have developed your interface, should be installed on the source system. If this SWCV is not in list of your installed products & SWCV then add it. Update the business sytem in ID again & it will work. I guess you have done a typo by saying that objects are not available in IR but in Integration builder its avaliable.

Software Components for XI in SLD.

I'm starting with my first project in XI, and I have the following doubts.
The SAP ERP systems are loaded as Technical Systems into the SLD with their products and software components, which are contents of Content Repository of the SLD. If, for example, I have to develop a scenario in XI to integrate my SAP ERP system with a legacy system, if I create a new Software Component version to create the XI design objects I need for the SAP ERP side, should I create and assign a new Product version with this SWCV to my SAP ERP Technical System, or I could use it without doing that, and make the connection with the system directly in the Integration Directory?
If anyone has information or tutorials about best practices for creating Products and Software Components depending on the scenario to develop in XI, that would be a lot of help for me.
Thanks in advance
Sebastian Pereira.

Sebastian,
-->if I create a new Software Component version to create the XI design objects I need for the SAP ERP side, should I create and assign a new Product version with this SWCV to my SAP ERP Technical System, or I could use it without doing that, and make the connection with the system directly in the Integration Directory?
Yep you can ...Software component takes part only in design time...at configuration time You need to import the Business system in Integration Directory..
Configuration time activity:
1. Create Technical and Business systems in SLD( Business system should be associated with this Technical system only)
2. Now import Business System from tool menu item of ID
3. Right lick and Create a scenario in ID
5. Under this scenario you can see the configuration objects you need to configure an create..these objects
PS : Don't forget to activate the objects in ID
Let me know if you want further clarification of thoughts..

Software components can keep modifiable in bw 3.5 system change options

hello experts,
can we keep software components modifiable in bw 3.5 production in system change option (se06)
it very urgent

Hi
Transaction SE06 - Processing After Installation of the CTO
Transaction SE06 has to be executed once in every newly installed R/3 System. This applies to an R/3 standard installation as well as the installation of a copy of an existing R/3 system.
Transaction SE06 provides the following functions for processing after installation:
Generating basic settings of the Change and Transport Organizer Closing other requests and tasks Setting the system change option
Meaning of the system name The system name (SID) is defined during the installation with R3setup and cannot be changed subsequently.
When you choose names, make sure that there are no naming conflicts with existing systems. Under no circumstances may two systems within an SAP system group have the same name.
The installation type of the R/3 System is specified in the initial screen:
R/3 standard installation
The R/3 System was installed from the SAP CD using R3setup. It is assumed that the system is running on a correct, delivered version of the R/3 System. No adjustments based on corrections or repairs have been made.
If you set up an R/3 System that originated from a database copy using this option, problems could arise when you upgrade or modify objects with the Change and Transport Organizer.
Database copy or database migration
The R/3 System was created on the basis of a copy. R3setup provides utilities to do this. The R/3 System needs to be assigned a new and independent role within the SAP system group or outside of it.
Before you connect the new R/3 System to the SAP system group, you have to give it a name that has not yet been used in the group.
You should avoid using a previously used system name as this could cause serious complications and may also lead to the loss of information.
If you have installed your SAP System as a copy of an existing SAP System then you must configure the CTS after installation.
In SAP Systems installed with R3setup from the SAP CD the basic settings for the CTS are generated during the configuration of the Transport Management System. You do not need to perform any processing after installation.
Transaction SE06 provides the following functions for processing after installation:
Generating basic settings of the Change and Transport System
Setting the system change option
Closing foreign requests and tasks
You must specify the installation type of the SAP System on the initial screen:
Standard installation
The SAP System was installed from the SAP CD using R3setup. It is assumed that the SAP System is running as a correct, delivered version. No adjustments based on corrections or repairs have been made.
If you set up an SAP System that originated from a database copy using this option, problems could arise when you upgrade the system or modify objects with the Transport Organizer.
Database copy or database migration
The SAP System was created on the basis of a copy. R3setup provides utilities to do this. The SAP System needs to be assigned a new and independent role within the SAP system group or outside of it.
Before you connect the new SAP System to the SAP system group, you have to give it a name that has not yet been used in the group.
Do not use an existing system name since this could cause serious conflicts and may lead to the loss of data.

Problems creating software components in SLD

Hi,
I am using NW2004s SP06.
While configuring NWDI, I was defining Product and Software components in the SLD.
1) I am unable to create products for SAP Systems in the catalog. Whenever I select a new product the message always says new product for non-SAP system.
2) I am unable to create software components for products for non SAP systems. Whenever I try adding new software components I get an error on the production state
Value not allowed by VALUEMAP for property SAP_SoftwareComponent.ProductionState:Released
This is the same error when I choose all the listed Production states: (Eg: Planned, Developed etc)
Please help

Forgot to add..
Application Server-Java (J2EE engine), DI, SLD etc are all on a single machine..
