Workflow : Approval from outside SAP (Non-SAP User)

Is it possible to have an approval level outside sap , if so how can we do it .The approver has no access to SAP .Please explain the process to achieve this requirement

Hello,
The extended notification concept can be used for the users which is not having the SAP access. So the users no need to log into the system to approve from the business workplace but they can approve from their outlook mail also. The transactions are SWNCONFIG , SWNADMIN.
Please find the below link to configure.

Hello Everyone,
I have a requirement to archive the SAP data, dump that outside SAP in some other system like ILM or BI and build a reporting tool on top of that data.
So, basically customer want to shutdown the SAP and want to retain data for legal and audit pourpose.
I was doing some RnD and done archiving of MM_EKKO using SARA. the file got generated with extention .ARCHIVE. I donwnloaded teh file but it is encoded file with all special character in it.
My question is:
1. How can I read the archieved SAP data from outside SAP system.
2. Can we decode the .ARCHIVE file to get it in .DAT format?
3. Or Is there any other way to access the SAP data outside SAP in a report format.
Thanks,
Chintan SOni.

Hi Chintan,
1. How can I read the archieved SAP data from outside SAP system.
For this you could refer SAP Note 460620 - Migrating archive files
2. Can we decode the .ARCHIVE file to get it in .DAT format?
As per my knowledge,it's not possible to decode or move to .DAT format.
3. Or Is there any other way to access the SAP data outside SAP in a report format.
Refer my first response & the SAP note.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck !!

Call ABAP Program from outside SAP

Hi all,
How can I call an ABAP program from outside SAP, for example from a C++ executable, a .NET assembly or a JAVA package ? Are their "adapters" provided by SAP for this ?
Angela

Hi Angela,
as mho already stated:
For external connections to ABAP, the sap-proprietary "remote function call (RFC)" is a common way.
SAP delivers an RFC-library for this, and for some development environments SAP even offers a connector on top of this library to make connectivity more easy (SAP Java Connector, SAP Business Connector, SAP Connector for Microsoft .Net). An RFC is always starting function modules in ABAP, not ABAP programs, and these function modules need the attribute "remote-enabled".
(Remark: in the context of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration, SAP offers adapters for connectivity, also for ABAP systems.)
For ABAP systems on basis code line 6.20 and above, the remote-enabled function modules can externally be used as web services.
Information on RFC can be found in the SAP Help Portal http://www.help.sap.com, e.g. [RFC Call - Example Program|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/733760ccb411d2b4550060941936e3/frameset.htm]. A search in SDN provides links to the Help Portal as well.

This part is beyond the ABAP question, and my guess is pretty simple: like on any other J2EE server.

Calling search services from outside sap

Dear Experts,
are there any chances to call the SES or the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search from outside the SAP environment by passing a search query and credentials per HTTP GET Request? The response schould be provided to callee in XML form. I think i can implement a kind of adapter (BSP,WebDynpro????????), which takes the requests, call the SES or NetWeaver Enterprise Search and builds XML based on the search results. Am i right?
thank you in advance
Nicolai

Dear All,
i found a solution for my problem. i will use a HTTP-Request Handler for handling HTTP requests in SAP CRM system. I will pass a search query (some attributes of the Business Partner) to this Handler and use the function COM_SES_SEARCH_OBJECTS to perfom the search.
It is right, that i shall configure the settings in Customizing at SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Web Application Server ® System Administration® Search Engine Service (http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW70/helpdata/EN/27/08ef417fc65f24e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) for indexing the Business Object bus1006 (Business PArtner) and determine the RFC destination in order to use COM_SES_SEARCH_OBJECTS???
I am absolutely new to this thema und need your help!
kind regards
Nicolai

Workflow Approval for CTS+ for NON ABAP Transport

Hi
We have a NW Portal system currently using CTS+ for transport.
We would like to incorporate a workflow approval for transport across the different landscape (DEV -> TEST -> QA -> PRD) with CTS+. The workflow approval would work in such a way that when someone approves a transport request from DEV->TEST, the Basis Admin will then perform the import to TEST. So this approval will also be needed from TEST -> QA and QA -> PRD.
Does Solution Manager provide such workflow approval for NON ABAP transport?
I do hope anyone has such experience to share.
Thanks.
Regards
mike

Hi Mike
Yes solution Manager CHARMS or Change request managment functionality uses CTS+ to move the Non ABAP requests
it uses IBASE as identifier for systems and for more can search sdn
check this link too

Accessing Release Strategy defintion from outside SAP

Hi !
I'm trying to integrate SAP MM with other 3rd party application. We want to access and read SAP's release strategy definitions and also document classes, to avoid having to maintain that information from the 3rd party too.
Is there any standard approach to access this info ? a BAPI maybe ? or do we have to access the data tables from a custom made RFC that reads specific tables ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Matias

Hi Rajoo,
As per I know, in standard sap, you can achieve this requirement.
Just make sure you have the characteristic for Total net value (CEKKO-GNETW) , and maintain the currency to USD. As long as you have USD to INR conversion in OB08, the system will able to fetch the correct release strategy for the PO based on the amount you set in the Release strategy.

Can't send messages from iPad to non-Apple users

After updating my iPad to iOS 7, I can no longer send messages to non-Apple devices. I used to be able to send and receive text messages from my friends who use Android for example, but now it just says "not delivered". Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know how to fix it? By the way, it still works fine on my iPhone.

As far as I know, the native Messages app of the iPad was never able to send or receive SMS messages. SMS messages are a function of the voice portion of the cellular system, and even an iPad with celluler hardware connects only to the data portion of the cellular system.

Can you change smcwebserver login from root to non-root user

I've tried digging in various place and haven't found any luck with this. Is it possible to change that default login from the system root to another user?

Sharing pictures from iphoto to NON-apple users

Can you share pictures from iPhoto to people that don't have an apple device? Everything I have found says they must have an apple device. I am trying to share a bunch of pictures to a friend that has a Window-based computer. Thanks

1 - using the "current version" of iPhoto (iPhoto '11 version 9.5) you can share with anyone if they have the correct software on their computer - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
2 - MobileMe has not existed for almost two years
3 - there are many commercial services including FaceBook, Flickr, SmugMug etc that you can share photos on

Solution Manager Interface with Tools Outside SAP

Does anyone have information on Solution Manager's abilities to interface with tools outside of SAP? I am interested in interfacing Solution Manager with legacy systems and main frame systems (e.g. Informatica). I am especially concerned with Root Cause Analysis, Exception Analysis, and Error Reporting in Solution Manager regarding non-SAP systems. Also, if Solution Manager is able to interface with these systems, can it access details from outside SAP (e.g. data from legacy systems)?

Hi,
The solution manager can be interface with the ARIS.We did in our project this interface.
The Business process flow was defined in ARIS & synchronize with the solman & once configuration is done then we reverse synchronize the same to update the ARIS,so you can interface with legacy also.

Basic Authentication for Non-AD Users

Hello
we are implemented windows integrated single sign on using spnego module and adjusted the login stacks as directed;
Evaluate TicketLogin.Module = SUFFICIENT
SPNEGO mdoule = OPTIONAL
Ceate TicketLoginModule = SUFFICIENT
BasicpasswordLogin Module = REQUISITE
Create Ticket Login Module = REQUISITE
This is tested an all works fine for AD users on the network.
We have also activated the parameter;
ume.usermapping.refsys.mapping.type = attribute
So that we can perform user mapping of AD user id is different from backend sap user id.
However, when Non-AD users, for example internet users or third parties want to access the portal we want them to be challanged by basic username and password authentication.
All we get is page cannot be displayed. (we've made sure IP address / network etc is in place, this worked before implementing spnego)
The security log shows the following error;
#1.#001E680F70D100750000000D0000571E00046EE5C2DB2770#1247833002551#/System/Security/Authentication#sap.com/irj#com.sap.engine.services.security.authentication.logincontext#Guest#0##n/a##b010c47072cb11de8c4c001e680f70d1#SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_26##0#0#Info#1#com.sap.engine.services.security.authentication.logincontext#Plain###LOGIN.FAILED

What does it mean by no authorisation header?
This is only affecting non-AD users.
what have I missed / done wrong?
cheers

Could you try this one :
Evaluate TicketLogin.Module = SUFFICIENT
SPNEGO mdoule = OPTIONAL
Create TicketLoginModule = SUFFICIENT
BasicpasswordLogin Module = REQUISITE
Create Ticket Login Module = OPTIONAL

Can XSLT transformation created with XSLT_TOOL be called from outside?

Hello,
I have created an XSLT transformation with the transaction XSLT_TOOL in the ECC 6.0 system.
I got a request if this XSLT transformation can be called from outside SAP, example Informatica Power Center. ( http://www.informatica.com/PRODUCTS_SERVICES/POWERCENTER/Pages/index.aspx )
Can these XSLT be called from outside?
thank you
Koen Van Loocke

Hi,
I don't think you can call the XSLT_TOOL from outside but what you can do is create a transformation and write a function that serves as a wrapper. You can call the function from outside (RFC) and the function could invoke an existing transformation.
Cheers

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

IMessage stopped working with non-iphone users suddenly

I was able to text message from iMessage with non-iPhone users after the last update and now I suddenly can't. The phone numbers are in read and the messages won't go through. What happened?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
