Using CIF for non-SAP APS

Hello world,
we would like to use CIF for master data, but our company is using NSKEP, a non-SAP APS. This has a datahub included, which can be used for middleware purposes (mapping, etc.)
Since in the future we could change to APO, we think CIF would be the right way.
Is it possible to create IDOCs from CIF data?
Has anyone use this already?
What other software did you connect?
If yes, can you reccomend any consultants or firms?
What are the biggest obstacles?
What would be your best alternative if you don't recommend CIF?
Any and all help will be appreciated!
Kind regards, Peter

I cannot recommend to use CIF for this purpose.
Please have a look at the predefined ALE process for external production planning optimization

"SSO" for non-sap web application using SAPGUI to browse?

I have a web application (non SAP) and the user base are also SAP users in an ABAP system.
To strengthen the authentication in the web app, I wanted to implement SSO
authentication as we pity the users for having to remember so many strong pw's and I
dont like LDAP based pw sync or other technology I dont understand, because then we are
just yet another application with the same pw...
We are having technical problems implementing SSO on the web app side, and are anyway a
bit sceptical about the user admin / role admin assignment if we get it to work.
So I have created a transaction in SAP which browses the web app and the intention is to
send the SAP sy-uname as the web app user. We can control this using s_tcode, and
an own auth object on the WAS side and a check on the session type before the connection is
established. In this sense we are dependent on the SAP concept implemented, but even so:
The role assignment is controlled in the web app itself -> so assume that I am not overly
worried about unauthorized access to the web application, as they would not have any
system role for it as their sy-uname does not exist. (Infact we can monitor this)
The browser on the front end is the SAPGUI with html controls on the SAP side.
I would be interested in knowing whether anyone else has experience with this approach, and
whether there are any areas to be carefull of?
I would also like to know whether this is a strategic error?
Kind regards,
Julius

Hi Julius,
well, if that web application would run on the same ABAP backend system then the solution described in <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0612670">SAP Note 612670</a> would be applicable:
a so-called "Re-entrance ticket" (based on the "SAP logon ticket" SSO proceedings) is issued, transported via the SAPGUI connection and back to the system via the invoked HTML control.
But for non-SAP web applications that does not help.
In that case only X.509 client certificates can be used for SSO. Actually, the web application could then also be invoked directly (independent from the SAPGUI session). The user is authenticated based on the X.509 client certificate - and not based on the ABAP userID (of the SAPGUI session).
Well, if you don't mind the effort you could also use the "SAP Logon Ticket evaluation library" (sapssoext, see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0304450">SAP Note 304450</a>) to evalute the SAP logon ticket externally. You'll then need to have a "stub application" at the ABAP side that triggers the http redirect to your external web application. Not a nice solution but a possible one.
In the future SAML browser artifacts would be an option (preferable to integrate non-SAP applications). But currently that's not available (for NWAS ABAP).
Cheers, Wolfgang

Service desk for non-sap (please - any inputs are welcome)

hi all,,
I know how to setup service desk for SAP use. Can some one provide me some tips on using solution manager - service desk for non-sap as well? eg: the company wants to use service desk for normal activities as well, as laptop not working, server down, other system issues etc.
The questions I have are -
1) Any specific structure to be created for the non-sap? The way we use in SAP specific environment is to use "SAP Components" while creating tickets. How can we create tickets for non-sap components? What will be the "responsibility" selection?
2) How about the Ibase? For SAP, the ibase already have the data from SMSY. How can I get data for non-sap systems? Anything is SAP to keep the Asset management data (like entries of laptops, servers etc)
Thanks for all the suggestions !!

Hi
You need to go for service desk XT which is the extension of service desk to manage non sap or IT incidents
Check below link
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/_solutionmanager
Heterogeous system environments are a challenge for IT-service management in any company. The associated complex structures and varying forms of media often make it difficult to realize efficient service processes. With SAP Solution Manager Service Desk - Extended Usage (Service Desk XT), SAP offers a centralized support tool as a single point of access - for service requests and problem tickets related to SAP and non-SAP software.
The Single Point of Access for Support
SAP Solution Manager, which is a standard part of every SAP solution and therefore can be used by all SAP customers, supports users in SAP relevant service requests. The standard function of the service desk is restricted to service requests.
With Service Desk XT, SAP provides an extended support tool, which can be also used for general service requests, for example regarding IT or telecommunication equipment.
This priced add-on does not require additional interfaces to third-party products - the same service requests are used for SAP and non-SAP applications. This simplification is a benefit for your employees.
This solution has been created with IT service providers in mind, especially those which work within a company and currently do not have an IT-service desk application in place or would like to replace an existing system.

Implementation strategy for non sap sources

hai friends,
could anyone help with the
'implementation strategy for non sap sources'.

Hi,
Its the same as with R3 sources.Only difference is you'll have different underlying interfaces. Non SAP systems can either be flat files, ETL systems or legacy systems using ETL connection, Oracle or Java systems XML, etc.
But your stategy would remain the same only per your non sap source system, the transactions and the ways you configure your datasources would differ.
Cheers,
Kedar

SSO FOR NON SAP APPLICATIONS

Hi ,
we have implemented Siteminder on SAP PORTAL 6 SP16 for authentication.I would like to integrate non sap application in Portal.I could not find any documentaion for setting up non sap application's in portal on which siteminder external authentication is implemented.
can anybody help for getting step by step document.
diff rewards to be given

Hi,
if you have access to service.sap.com via S-User, you can download "SAP Enterprise Portal Security Guide" in the portal section. It has dedicated descriptions about SSO-Settings, also about netegrity.
You can also search help.sap.com about "SSO" which gives you overview descriptions.
On SAP Service Net, there is also an pdf "Integrating Security functions" in the Netweaver 2004s Portal section, where the description of the Java API for the PDK is included. This is very helpfull for coding.

Solution Manager System Monitoring for non SAP system

Dear Support,
I have configured the CCMS Agent (SAPCCMSR) for non-SAP system (Windows 2008R2).
The system information (e.g. CPU, Memory, Disks etc) has already showed in RZ20 of Central Monitoring system (e.g. Solution Manager).
How can I do to configure to display these information in the Alert Inbox tab on System Monitoring Workcenter?

Hi,
Have you defined and added corresponding logical systems for the respective satellite systems?
Here is the sequence of steps you've to do:
in SMSY:
1) Define server, DB, Systems
2) Generate READ, TMW, TRUSTED RFCs to the satellite systems
3) define logical systems and assign the satellite system to it
in Solution_Manager:
1) define new solution
2) add the logical system into the solution
If these steps are successful, you should be able to see the satellite system in SYSTEM MONITORING in Solution_Manager.
Have you already done these steps?
After performing these steps:
Solution_Manager>choose relevant solution>operations setup>Solution Monitoring>System monitoring>Activate monitoring> choose the system and activate monitoring.
Your system will then appear.
Does this help any way?

How to use Quickbooks for non-profit on mac

I run a non-profit and need to use QUickbooks for non-profit but this version of quickbooks is only made for PC. Is there a way I can run this software on my mac? Does Virtual PC software for macs work well? ANyone run Quickbooks for PC on a mac? Is there any other way to do this?

Artist --
Welcome to Apple Discussions !
I would highly recommend that you get the Mac version.
You can find more about it here
http://quickbooks.intuit.com/
Virtual PC slows everything down tremendously.
Plus, it opens your Mac to be vulnerable to viruses.
Get the Mac Version.
It's worth the investment,
in my humble opinion.
Hope this helps,
and sending you all the best wishes
for your non-profit.
I'm a former nonprofit staffer, so I know what you're up against.
Onwards & upwards !

Is it possible for non-sap systems to consume BDOCs without conversion?

Hi All,
I am new to CRM. I use SAP Jco API's to connect to SAP from my java application. Similarly now i want to connect to CRM.
Basically the required is to consume or send BDOC across Java application (non-sap system) and SAP CRM.
1. Is there a way to fetch the BDOC info from Jco API's and then consume them in Java application?
2. I read about XIF adapter in CRM, It says convert BDOC to IDOC.
Can you tell me if BDOC's can be sent out of SAP to non-sap systems as is without convert to IDOC or should it be always i have to convert to IDOC/XML to consume from non-sap systems ?
You quick reply is greatly apprciated.
Thanks,
Sowmya

Hi,
Yes. It is possible.
You can use the standard XML interface for Business Partner in the name space http://sap.com/XI/ABA.

Risk Management & Process controls for non SAP client

Hi Forum Gurus,
I need clarity on the following: Can Risk managment 3.0 and Process controls be implemented for a non-SAP client?
i.e. Our client does not run SAP, but they are interested in RM and PC, so is this possible to implement?
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
PREVO.

Hi Prevo,
Process control and Risk management 3.0 are delivered within same installation package files so it is same for both the applications .
Also real time agents for Oracle or peoplesoft are avaialble if you want to leverage the automated control functionality of PC 3.0 in non SAP environment.
Remember the automated control functionality is the optional feature of PC3.0.If you wish only to use the manual controls features of PC 3.0 you dont need RTAs(real time agent).
You can find further information about manual controls at http://service.sap.com
use the quicklink '/rkt' then the following menu path: SAP Business Objects for GRC Solutions -> SAP BO Process Control 3.0 -> Technology Consultant

Generic Sync. support for non-SAP backend

Hi
Does Generic synchronization allows mobile applications to call function module residing in any non-SAP backend.I am not sure about this.
The documentation for MDK says we have to use Business Connector for this.
Where can i find the Business Connector for this purpose.
Which non-SAP backends are supported by Generic Sync framework.

MI Support for Non SAP Backend

hi all,
Theoritically,it is said, MI will support NON-SAP Backends.
But in our <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cc489997-0901-0010-b3a3-c27a7208e20a#q-5-9">FAQs</a> i find the following,
<i>Can I use SAP Exchange Infrastructure for integrating MI with with non-SAP backends?
No, this is currently not supported (see release restriction note 717510).</i>
<b>If we are using SAP Business Connector, can we integrate non-sap Backend?</b>
So, As a consultant, what should our stand be if a client asks if we can integrate Non-SAP backends with MI 2.5?
Regards
Ak.

Hi Arunkumar,
Sorry, I cant make a closed statement that SAP does not support integration of MI with non SAP backend systems. The reason is this is a restriction because of some failed tests & also another reason is we are currently working on taking this restriction out.
So we will surely get back to u with a positive response very soon.
