2 Installation and Upgrade of SAP Enhancement Packages

NOTE

The text in this chapter refers to the installation and upgrade of SAP enhancement packages for

SAP CRM 7.0. SAP CRM 7.0 is the main release that is underlying the available enhancement

packages. Whenever the term SAP system is mentioned in this section, it refers to SAP CRM 7.0.

2.1 Enhancement Package Key Concept

We have adapted our major release strategy to better fit your adoption cycle. To ensure that you benefit

from new developments and innovations while minimizing the impact on your core operational

systems, SAP uses enhancement packages to speed up the delivery of new functions.

With SAP enhancement packages, you can install and activate new functions depending on your

business needs without having to perform a system upgrade.

Implementation

There are three different scenarios to implement an enhancement package:

■ Installation of an enhancement package on an existing SAP system

■ New installation of an SAP system including an enhancement package

■ Upgrade of an SAP system including an enhancement package

The installation process of enhancement packages consists of two different steps:

■ Technical installation of an enhancement package

■ Activation of new functions using the switch framework technology

From a business point of view, functional enhancements are grouped into business functions (BFs).

The technical installation of the business functions does not change the system behavior. The new

functions are available in the system, but are not active. After the installation, no user interface or

process change takes place. You must explicitly activate new functions so that they become visible in

the system. As a result, changes are predictable and there are no side effects as only the activated areas

change.

With the switch framework technology (transaction SFW5), it is possible to control the activation of

new SAP objects in ABAP-based SAP systems. The activation process triggers a background job that

automatically performs all changes in the SAP system.

2 Installation and Upgrade of SAP Enhancement Packages

2.1 Enhancement Package Key Concept

2011-05-16 PUBLIC 13/164

Page 14: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

CAUTION

You cannot reverse most business function once they are activated. Due to technical restrictions,

only a limited number of business functions are reversible.

After you have activated a business function, you can see the changes and new developments in the

SAP system, for example:

■ Menu entries

■ New screens

■ New fields on the application user interfaces

■ IMG activities required for the implementation

■ New table entries in Customizing tables and system tables

You can create a transport request with the current settings of the switch framework. You can check

functional changes and the impact of an activated business function in advance in the business function

documentation.

RECOMMENDATION

Test the installation and activation on a sandbox system.

Maintenance

SAP enhancement packages have Support Packages of their own that are equivalent to the Support

Package versions of the underlying SAP system. We highly recommend installing the enhancement

package in combination with the latest available Support Package stack. This approach reduces

installation, modification adjustment, and testing effort. Using this strategy, you can install SAP

enhancement packages as a normal maintenance activity together with Support Package stacks.

An enhancement package requires a specific Support Package stack level in the source release SAP

system. If the SAP system is on a lower Support Package stack level, all relevant Support Package stacks

are automatically included into the download queue, as well as the latest available Support Packages

for the enhancement package.

Tools

The enhancement package installation requires the following tools:

■ SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer

■ Installation or upgrade tools (depending on your scenario)

The SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer (accessible from the Change Management work center)

supports the download of a consistent queue that includes all necessary Support Packages and

enhancement packages. In addition, SAP Solution Manager calculates a valid import queue for the

selected SAP system and generates the enhancement package stack configuration file that you require

for the installation.

For the new installation of an SAP system including enhancement package as well as for the upgrade

of an SAP system to a higher release including an enhancement package, you use the standard

2 Installation and Upgrade of SAP Enhancement Packages

2.1 Enhancement Package Key Concept

14/164 PUBLIC 2011-05-16

Page 15: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

installation and upgrade tools (SAPinst, SAPup and SAPJup). For particular source releases, you have

to use the SAP Enhancement Package Installer (SAPehpi) for the upgrade.

To install an enhancement package on an existing SAP system, you use the SAP Enhancement Package

Installer. It allows enhancement packages to be installed with reduced downtime. SAPehpi uses the

shadow system installation strategy, a well-known feature in the upgrade technology.

2.2 Key Facts About Enhancement Packages

The following list summarizes important facts about the enhancement package concept and

recommended approaches:

■ SAP enhancement packages are cumulative, meaning that each new enhancement package

includes new innovations of its own as well as all innovations delivered with prior packages.

■ We recommend installing the latest available enhancement package version.

■ Install enhancement packages and Support Packages in one single step (this includes the

preconditioned Support Packages).

■ SAP enhancement packages have Support Packages of their own that are equivalent to the Support

Package versions of the underlying SAP system.

■ SAP enhancement packages have the same maintenance period as the underlying core application.

■ The installation of an enhancement package is irreversible.

■ As long as you do not activate a business function, the installation of an enhancement package has

no impact on existing business processes or user interfaces.

You can only activate business functions in ABAP-based systems, not in Java-based SAP systems.

■ The activation of most business functions and extension sets is irreversible. Only a small number

of business functions is reversible.

Test the installation process and activation of new functions in advance on a sandbox system.

Ensure that you evaluate the runtime and the SAP system behavior, its dependencies and impacts.

Make sure that your SAP system is free of errors before going live.

2.3 Enhancement Package Implementation

In the following, you will find an overview of the steps involved in the three different enhancement

package implementation scenarios.

2.4 CRM Core Business Functions

A core business function is a business function that SAP recommends to turn on by default if you start

on a new installation of EHP1 for CRM 7.0, irrespective of the scope of your current implementation.

Why do we have such a list of core business functions?

■ If you are a new customer, you can benefit from all incremental enhancements right from the

start.

■ SAP can support you as an EHP customer better along the lines of a standard set of business functions

that are turned on in your system by default.

Such core business functions have the following advantages:

■ They provide incremental capabilities.

■ They do not remove or replace any capability that was contained in the product before.

■ They do not require additional setup effort if turned on and not used.

■ They are not dependent on non-core business functions.

■ They can be used by many industries.

■ If you are an upgrade customer, you can selectively turn on individual business functions as you

see fit.

Features

The following business functions qualify as core business functions:

3 SAP CRM Overview

3.1 Introduction to SAP CRM

SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) is a complete multichannel suite supporting all

customer-facing lines of business across marketing, sales, and service, as well as customer interaction

channels such as the interaction center, the Internet, and mobile clients.

It provides you with:

■ Cross-industry and industry-specific end-to-end business processes

■ Flexible and process-based deployment options

■ An open, adaptable technology platform, powered by SAP NetWeaver

At the center of SAP CRM is the CRM server, which consists of CRM Enterprise functions, CRM

Middleware, and various adapters. SAP CRM enables communication channels between the CRM

system and mobile clients, handhelds, the Internet, and telephones or e-mail. SAP ERP systems can be

used as back-end systems, whereas SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP Supply Chain

Management (SCM) enhance the spectrum of functions.

3.2.1 CRM Core

Installable software units of CRM Core

CRM Application Server ABAP and CRM Application Server Java provide the core functions for SAP

CRM, for example, in the area of Marketing, Sales, Service, Interaction Center, or CRM Web Channel

scenarios. A CRM system landscape containing CRM Application Server ABAP and CRM Application

Server Java already enables you to operate a large range of business processes. To run further processes,

you can enhance this basic system landscape with other software units. You can, for example, use CRM

Mobile Components to enable the use of marketing, sales, and service functionality in an offline

environment or use SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse for analytics.

The detailed structure of CRM Core is as follows:

■ CRM Application Server ABAP

CRM Application Server ABAP provides the core functions of Marketing, Sales, Service, and

Interaction Center scenarios. For CRM Web Channel scenarios, you also need CRM Application

Server Java.

CRM Application Server ABAP consists of the following software components:

● SAP CRM ABAP 7.01

● SAP WEB UIF 7.01

● SAP AP 7.00 (includes IPC)

● SAP_BS_FOUNDATION 702

Page 21: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

● SAP EHP2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 – Application Server ABAP

NOTE

As of EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0, CRM Application Server Loyalty was merged into CRM

Application Server ABAP.

With EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0, the loyalty cards status management was enhanced. To make

use of this functionality in a scenario where EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0 or higher is installed on

an existing SAP CRM 7.0 system, activate the business function CRM_LOY_PROD Loyalty

Productivity first and then migrate the statuses of existing loyalty cards. To migrate cards

statuses, execute report RLOY_CARD_MIGRATE_STATUS. For more information, see the

documentation of this report.

■ CRM Application Server Java

CRM Application Server Java consists of the following software components:

● CRM JAVA APPLICATIONS 7.01

● SAP EHP2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 – Application Server Java and Alternative Act. Instances

● SAP JAVA DATA DICTIONARY 7.01

● SAP SHARED JAVA APPLIC. 7.01

■ NWDI Design/Build Time Content

NWDI Design/Build Time Content can be deployed independently of CRM Application Server Java

and consists of the following software components:

● CRM IPC MOBILE 7.01

● CRM JAVA APPLICATIONS 7.01

● CRM JAVA COMPONENTS 7.01

● CRM JAVA WEB COMPONENTS 7.01

● SAP JAVA DATA DICTIONARY 7.01

● SAP SHARED JAVA APPLIC. 7.01

● SAP SHARED JAVA COMPONENTS 7.01

● SAP SHARED WEB COMPONENTS 7.01

● TEALEAF 4.5 (installation option)

NOTE

Up to and including SAP CRM 2007, the software components listed for NWDI Design/Build

Time Content had been part of CRM Application Server Java.

Using CRM Core with and without CRM Java Components

You can distinguish between the following:

■ CRM Core with CRM Java Components (JCRM)

■ CRM Core without CRM Java Components (JCRM)

For some processes of the business scenarios, you do not need to install CRM Java Components (JCRM)

because these business scenarios run with CRM Application Server ABAP only. Some business scenarios

3 SAP CRM Overview

3.2 Installable Software Units

2011-05-16 PUBLIC 21/164

Page 22: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

and applications need to have all core functions, both CRM Application Server ABAP and CRM

Application Server Java. For the following business scenarios, you must have installed CRM Core with

CRM Java Components (JCRM):

■ CRM Web Channel

■ Business scenarios in which you want to use product configuration, for example, the business

process Sales Order Processing (Configure-to-Order) in CRM.

You only need to install SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java (AS Java) for the following applications:

■ SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure

The Internet Pricing and Configurator (IPC) functions for pricing has been integrated in the Virtual

Machine Container (VMC) of SAP NetWeaver 7.0. You no longer have to install SAP NetWeaver

Application Server Java to run the Java applications for pricing, since these are now processed on SAP

NetWeaver Application Server ABAP only.

To use the product configuration functions, you additionally need to install SAP NetWeaver

Application Server Java (part of CRM Application Server Java) to display the product configuration UI.

To use the functions for product configuration, you have to perform the necessary configuration steps.

NOTE

For scenarios in which you use pricing, you have to activate the Virtual Machine Container (VMC),

which is a prerequisite for running pricing. For information about activating VMC, see SAP Note

854170.

The installation program SAPinst can install CRM Application Server ABAP and the underlying

SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP in a single installation run. The same applies to CRM

Application Server Java and the underlying SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java. Carry out 2

installation runs, one for ABAP and one for Java, and make sure that 2 different system IDs (SID) are

used.

WebClient UI

The WebClient UI is an integrated, clearly arranged, and Web-based user interface. For more

information, see the following SAP Notes:

■ SAP Note 1118231 Supported user interfaces for SAP CRM

■ SAP Note 1430376 EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0 Internet Browser Releases

The Web-based user interface offers the following benefits:

■ Clearly arranged page layout

■ Flexible and easy-to-use interface configuration

■ Simple and intuitive navigation

■ Easy-to-use personalization

■ Enhanced search concept

■ Toolbar for functions

■ Terminology that is suited to the new user interface

NOTE

The CRM Web Channel application has not been integrated into the new WebClient UI. This

application uses its own user interface based on Java. For more information about CRM Web

Channel and accessing this application, see installation guides for EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0 on SAP

Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/instguides.

Components of the WebClient UI

The WebClient UI runs within a Web browser, so you only have to install a Web browser on the client

side. You can use functions from all CRM application areas in a single user interface. An SAP GUI is

not necessary. The WebClient UI is fully based on CRM Application Server ABAP using business server

page (BSP) technology.

On the server side, the WebClient UI is based on a multilayer architecture. It consists of the following

components:

■ Presentation layer

The business server pages (BSPs) are the presentation layer of the WebClient UI. They are the basis

for the HTML pages.

■ Business layer

Data of business objects, such as business partners, products, and transactions are processed by the

business layer of the WebClient UI. The business layer comprises the following parts:

● Business object layer (BOL)

The BOL stores the business object data at runtime of a WebClient UI session. It ensures the

separation of the user interfaces and the underlying business logic.

● Generic interaction layer (GenIL)

3 SAP CRM Overview

3.2 Installable Software Units

2011-05-16 PUBLIC 23/164

Page 24: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

The GenIL processes the data transfer from the BOL to the application programming interfaces

(APIs) of the underlying CRM business engine, that is, application logic and database tables.

The GenIL connects the BOL to the underlying business logic and database.

■ CRM database

Figure 3: WebClientUI Architecture

Internet Communication Framework

The Internet communication framework (ICF) services that are used to communicate between the

Web browser and the BSP runtime are installed automatically as part of SAP NetWeaver Application

Server. The WebClient UI requires relevant ICF Services.

You have to activate all sub services (transaction SICF) under the following nodes:

■ default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap

■ default_host/sap/crm

NOTE

Components and Their Use

Mobile Client

Field sales users have special mobile client software and an Internet Pricing and Configurator (IPC) on

their laptops, which enable them to work offline. The IPC is automatically installed during the CRM

Mobile Client setup.

The mobile client applications run on a Microsoft SQL database or Microsoft data engine. They comprise

Mobile Sales High Tech (standard), Mobile Sales Consumer Goods, Mobile Sales Pharma, and Mobile

Service.

CAUTION

Due to synchronization issues, you cannot use groupware integration between the CRM server

and the groupware server at the same time as using client synchronization. You can only choose

one of these integration possibilities.

Mobile Client Companion

Mobile Client Companion is an extension to the CRM Mobile Sales laptop application that runs on a

personal digital assistant (PDA) and synchronizes data with the Mobile Sales application running on a

laptop. This application is available for two industry verticals:

■ Mobile Sales – Consumer Packaged Goods

■ Mobile Sales – Pharmaceuticals

This application enables field sales representatives to:

■ Manage their activities and appointments

■ Maintain data on samples and sample distribution, and perform sample-management tasks in the

pharmaceutical business scenario

■ Maintain institution (business partner) and contact person details that help in maintaining

marketing profiles

Mobile Application Studio

The Mobile Application Studio (MAS) must be installed on the mobile development workstation. It is

an object-oriented, visual development tool that is tailored to the architecture of SAP mobile client

applications. It allows you to customize mobile client applications, delivered by SAP, according to your

specific business requirements, or develop your own applications.

Mobile Application Repository

The metadata of a mobile client application is delivered as the Mobile Application Repository (MAR).

This repository must be installed on the Mobile Repository Server (MRS) for each environment.

Application developers working on individual mobile development workstations establish a connection

with the MAR from MAS.

Authorization Management Tool

The Authorization Management Tool (AMT) can be installed on the mobile development workstation,

as well as on a separate system. It needs access to the Mobile Application Repository and the client

framework. It enables you to define authorizations (access rights) for mobile client users, for example,

sales representatives, to use a mobile client application such as Mobile Sales. You can define access rights

to underlying objects, such as the application, business components, tile sets, tiles, business objects,

and properties of business objects.

Communication Station

The Communication Station connects mobile clients with the CRM server. Mobile clients from inside

and outside the firewall connect to the Communication Station for data exchange. The

Communication Station itself establishes the connection to the CRM server.

Installation of CRM Mobile Client Component

The installation of mobile client components requires certain .NET installations. For more information,

see SAP Note 879643.

You must install the software on the different systems that make up the mobile system landscape, as

described below:

System Description

Mobile Application Repository server Server designated for the central Mobile Application Repository and test application database

Mobile Application Studio server Server, PC, or laptop designated for customizing and designing the mobile client applications and for assigning user access definitions and templates, if required, for using these applications

Mobile client Server, PC, or laptop that sales and service people use for their work

Workgroup server Server designated for storing the central database to which the workgroup clients connect. The server is connected to the CRM server via the Communication Station.

Workgroup client PC or laptop that connects to the workgroup server to use the same database concurrently

For a complete landscape, a Communication Station, a back-end server (for example, an ERP system),

and a CRM server are also required.

3.2.3 CRM Handheld Integration

You can integrate different handheld devices with SAP CRM, such as devices based on Microsoft

Windows Mobile platform, RIM BlackBerry, Nokia or Apple iPhone.

CRM Mobile Sales for Handheld (MSA for HH)

CRM handheld scenarios provide sales employees with the ability to keep track of their assignments

better as well as tackle sales-related situations proficiently by using handheld devices. It allows them

to work outside the office and grants them wireless access to the application either by online connection

or by using synchronization when in offline mode. In addition, the users' saved data becomes available

to the CRM server. The CRM handheld scenarios use the business logic of the CRM server to keep all

read and written assignments and time specifications consistent with the CRM system.

The CRM handheld integration consists of the following components:

■ MSA 5.0

■ Prerequisite: SAP Netweaver 7.0

■ Main instance: SAP NetWeaver Mobile Infrastructure (MI)

The CRM handheld scenarios support Microsoft Windows Mobile-based devices.

For more information, see SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/mobile.

CRM Mobile Sales for Handheld makes use of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Mobile Infrastructure (SAP NetWeaver

MI).

The Mobile Infrastructure enables field personnel to participate in a business process in an occasionally

connected mode. In this mode, a direct connection using WLAN or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

between mobile device and back end is only established at synchronization, that is, when the MI server

and MI client exchange data to keep server and client updated.

SAP NetWeaver MI consists of the following parts:

■ SAP NetWeaver MI server: Requires the ABAP and Java application server to run on the same

system. It serves, for example, for administration and data replication.

NOTE

Although technically possible, we do not recommend combining MI with other software

units (besides AS ABAP and AS Java) on one system. Instead, we recommend that you install

a dedicated MI system.

■ SAP NetWeaver MI client: Provides, for example, framework services, and the UI programming

model.

■ Prerequisite: SAP Netweaver 7.0

Gateway to SAP NetWeaver Mobile

As of SAP CRM 2007 SP04 and SAP CRM 7.0 SP03, SAP has enabled the basic CRM sales processes to be

consumed by mobile business processes. This is achieved through an add-on component, Gateway to

SAP NetWeaver Mobile, that is deployed on SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.1. In turn, strategic long-term

partners, such as Research in Motion and Sybase, are developing client applications for the RIM

BlackBerry, Microsoft Windows Mobile, and Apple iPhone platforms that consume the services

provided by the gateway.

The end-to-end solutions combine the business benefits of SAP CRM with the native device experience

and usability by bringing CRM sales data and processes, such as calendar and contact management,

into the native applications.

The end-to-end CRM sales solutions based on the gateway add-on consist of the following components:

■ SAP CRM 2007 SP06+ or SAP CRM 7.0 SP05+

■ SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.1 SP09+

■ Gateway to SAP NetWeaver Mobile 1.1+

■ Partner-built client application or custom application

The CRM sales functionality enabled with Gateway to SAP NetWeaver Mobile includes:

■ Account and contact management

■ Activity management

■ Lead management

■ Opportunity management

■ Sales order management

■ Selected analytics

EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0 adds the following functionality:

■ Survey management

■ Business partner factsheet

■ Support for multiple transaction types

3.2.4 Workforce Deployment

You use Workforce Deployment for running the business process Service Resource Planning in CRM.

The following software units are used in the area of Workforce Deployment:

■ Workforce Deployment (WFMCORE 200 Add-On): You have to install this add-on on the CRM

server ABAP by using the SAP Add-On Installation Tool (SAINT). For more information, see SAP

3.2.5 Standalone Components

Search and Classification (TREX)

SAP NetWeaver Search and Classification (TREX) offers an integrated set of services. TREX services

include search and retrieval in large document collections, text mining, automatic document

classification, and search and aggregation over structured data in SAP applications. TREX can handle

text from documents in numerous formats, including Microsoft Office and Adobe formats (PDF), and

in more than 30 languages. TREX search options, such as exact, boolean, fuzzy, or linguistic search,

and classification options, such as query-based or example-based classification, offer great power and

flexibility to end users.

RECOMMENDATION

For performance reasons, we recommend that you install TREX on a separate host.

Check the hardware requirements carefully. They depend largely on your individual needs. The

size and number of indexes, number of updates and inserts per day, number of parallel search

activities, your backup, and high availability strategy and other factors strongly influence the

hardware requirements.

Groupware Connector

Groupware Connector provides access to important business information created in SAP CRM in the

most widely used groupware systems: Microsoft Exchange Server and Lotus Domino. This version of

Groupware Connector allows a server-based, two-way replication of CRM business partners, contact

persons, and activities with the groupware contacts, appointments, and tasks. After an item is created,

changed, or deleted in SAP CRM, the changes are sent to Groupware Connector, which forwards them

to the users' mailboxes. Users can immediately see changes in their mailboxes by using their favorite

groupware client application, such as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes. This increases employee

productivity, because employees can now see calendar entries received from colleagues via the

groupware server as well as business meetings with customers that have been created in SAP CRM.

Users can view contacts mapped from CRM business partners in their groupware client or can quickly

find a customer telephone number without starting the CRM client.

Tealeaf RealiTea

Tealeaf RealiTea is third-party software that you can use for Web analytics. Tealeaf RealiTea is typically

installed on a standalone Microsoft Windows server and collects and processes Web user interaction

data.

From a technical perspective, Tealeaf RealiTea copies Web user interactions to the Tealeaf RealiTea

server. The Tealeaf RealiTea server software uses its own Index Sequential Access Method (ISAM)

database to store Web user interaction data. The database is exclusively managed by Tealeaf tools. You

can deploy the RealiTea J2EE capture component on all platforms supported by SAP NetWeaver

Application Server Java and upgrade the Tealeaf RealiTea server independently of the SAP component.

You can download Tealeaf RealiTea software from SAP Service Marketplace at http://

service.sap.com/swdc Download Support Packages and Patches Search for Support Packages and Patches .

Enter Tealeaf and start the search. You can find the program in the result list.

The installation and application documentation is part of the Tealeaf software package.

As an alternative, you can also use data loading with DB connect/UD connect to upload customer

behavior data captured in a CRM Web Channel Web shop into SAP NetWeaver BW. The two options

differ in the following way:

■ Data loading with DB connect/UD connect

We recommend this type of data loading for customers who only want to analyze business event

data. The captured business event data is loaded directly from SAP NetWeaver Application Server

Java into SAP NetWeaver BW. The existing infrastructure is used, that is, business event data is

loaded into the existing InfoCube and can be analyzed with existing reports.

■ Data loading with Tealeaf (OEM)

Data loading with Tealeaf (OEM) is recommended for customers who require business event data

as well as http request and response information. The existing data capturing and data loading

SAP ERP licenses are entitled to participate in the SAP ERP 6.0 ramp-up to install or upgrade to

Collaboration Projects (cProjects) 4.00 on a separate server (standalone installation).

Usage of the full SAP ERP 6.0 offering is optional for cProjects customers. The technical upgrade of SAP

R/3 to SAP ERP 6.0 is not mandatory for cProjects customers. cProjects 4.00 can communicate with SAP

R/3 4.6C or SAP R/3 Enterprise. However, the full scope of integration is only available with SAP ERP

6.0.

cProjects is shipped to these customers together with the SAP ERP 6.0 software package. The following

items are required to install or upgrade cProjects:

■ SAP NetWeaver 7.0

■ SAP Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP RPM) 4.0/cProjects/cFolders (contains cProjects)

Finbasis for CRM

Finbasis for CRM is a optional SAP add-on that can be either installed on top of either SAP ERP or SAP

CRM. This add-on includes the Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) applications SAP Dispute

Management and Collections Management, which extend the SAP ERP Financials capabilities.

These applications add extra functionality to the Shared Service Center business scenario available with

the SAP CRM Interaction Center. To use these applications, you may simply deploy this software unit

on top of your SAP CRM system, without having to upgrade your SAP ERP system to EHP5.

SAP Price and Margin Management by Vendavo

The SAP Price and Margin Management application by Vendavo is an SAP solution extension that you

can integrate with the quotation application in SAP CRM using SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.

This solution extension includes deal management capabilities that enable sales professionals to

effectively negotiate profitable deals, optimize prices in quotations to increase profit margins, and ensure

compliance with pricing policies. It also provides a transparent approval workflow for sales and pricing

managers, as well as for the sales professionals submitting pricing requests.

3.2.6 Application Systems

OLTP Back-End System

SAP ERP (SAP R/3, SAP R/3 Enterprise respectively) serves as an online transaction processing system

(OLTP) for CRM. It is connected to the CRM server as a back-end system and provides additional

business functions such as materials management and financials.

To enable communication between both systems, the following is required:

■ On the OLTP system: Installation of an R/3 plug-in that provides the integration interfaces

As of SAP ERP 6.0, the interfaces are contained directly in SAP ERP. For more information about

the release strategy, see SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/r3-plug-in.

■ On the CRM server: Installation of the adapter framework

For more information, see SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com SAP Customer Relationship

Management Data Exchange and Mobile Technologies CRM Integration Services Adapter and Site Types

Adapter The Adapter Framework .

The data exchange includes an initial transfer of Customizing, master data, and transactional data to

the CRM system, as well as delta data in both directions.

SAP Supply Chain Management Server

The SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) server consists of tools for real-time planning and decision

support. For example, the SCM server performs product availability checks for sales orders.

SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse

SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW) is used to provide infrastructure for:

■ Data warehousing

■ Various analytical technologies and functions

■ Web-based reporting and analysis

■ Information broadcasting to distribute BI Content by e-mail or by using the portal either as

precalculated documents with past data, or as links with live data

■ Open analysis interfaces that make available various interfaces for connecting front-end tools of

third-party providers

■ Web design API that allows you to realize highly individual scenarios and demanding applications

with customer-defined interface elements

In SAP CRM, SAP NetWeaver BW is mainly used for analytics processes. It enables you to gather all the

relevant data about various key factors (for example, customers, sales, services, marketing campaigns)

3 SAP CRM Overview

3.2 Installable Software Units

36/164 PUBLIC 2011-05-16

Page 37: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

and analyze this knowledge base to deploy important insights derived from it in your operational and

strategic decision-making.

BI Content is a preconfigured set of role and task-related information models that are based on

consistent metadata in BW. BI Content provides selected roles within a company with the information

they need to carry out their tasks. BI Content is delivered as an add-on to SAP NetWeaver BW.

CRM Interactive Reporting

You can also create, edit, and view reports directly in SAP CRM. These CRM-based reports retrieve

data in real-time and are called CRM interactive reports. You create these reports in the WebClient UI

using a guided wizard. You can then publish these reports to a selection of users. You can display reports

in tables and charts.

Using the reports, you can analyze data in ample ways, including drilldown to individual documents.

The report data is retrieved in real-time, meaning the data is always entirely up to date. You can export

report data to Microsoft Excel and print reports.

NOTE

We recommend this type of report for reports with a low data volume. Your company's power

users can create reports of this type themselves, in addition to the ones delivered by SAP. Examples

for CRM interactive reports are My Team: Closed Opportunities and My Team: Opportunity Sources.

You cannot add custom fields to CRM interactive reports. For more information, see SAP Note

1110780.

CAUTION

To run CRM interactive reporting, you can use the BW client available with the CRM system.

However, running CRM interactive reporting along with BW reporting (that is, reporting using

SAP NetWeaver Business Explorer) on the same system is not possible. We recommend that, for

BW reporting, you always set up a dedicated BW system. For more information, see SAP Note

1401472.

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) consists of core components to model, design, automate, and

integrate processes of one or multiple application systems. For the integration of internal and cross-

company processes, PI is used to incorporate all the functions of SAP NetWeaver Exchange

Infrastructure (XI). In addition, PI contains core components for business process management for

application-embedded and application-unbounded processes.

PI requires Application Server ABAP and Application Server Java to be installed in the same system.

Optionally, it can be combined with other usage types in one system. Nevertheless, we recommend

that you have a dedicated PI system.

Page 39: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

■ If you already have an SAP Solution Manager deployment in place, you can use it to manage the

solution you built up with SAP NetWeaver and SAP CRM as well. In this case, we strongly

recommend that you update SAP Solution Manager and Solution Manager content to the latest

version.

■ You can install multiple instances of SAP Solution Manager. In this case, each installation should

host separate business solutions.

■ If you want to reduce the risk of unavailability, do not install SAP Solution Manager as a central

component. Instead, operate a 2-system landscape with test and production environment of SAP

Solution Manager, especially if you are using time-critical functions such as support desk.

3.2.8 Extended Implementation Content in SAP Solution Manager

In the business process repository of SAP Solution Manager, you can find high-quality business processes

under Solutions/Applications Extended Implementation Content for Lines of Business . These business processes

are highly demanded by consultants and customers and provide optimized configuration information

Extended implementation content for lines of business is characterized by carefully drafted

configuration information, including the following:

■ Configuration information is assigned to all business processes. This process-specific configuration

information always contains a clear reference to additional basic configuration settings that are

available for the required components of a process. Therefore, when you include a business process

in a self-defined scenario, you can easily identify all relevant configuration settings that are relevant

for your project.

■ Configuration information that is specific for an optional process step is directly assigned to that

process step. Therefore, when you remove an optional process step from your project because you

do not need it, the corresponding configuration activities are also automatically excluded from

your implementation project.

For your implementation project, this means:

■ With the extended implementation content, the implementation of a business process is easier

than before.

■ You can adjust SAP business processes to your own enterprise-specific requirements.

■ You can be sure to get all required configuration information if you include an SAP business process

in a self-defined business scenario.

3.2.9 Content Types

Some systems of your SAP CRM system landscape require you to import content to set up the systems.

This content is updated on a regular basis and is available for download on SAP Service Marketplace.

level enterprise services provides a more meaningful foundation for the task of automating enterprise-

scale business scenarios.

Enterprise services are based on open standards. The interfaces are described according to WSDL. They

are created by using global data types which are based on UN/CEFACT CCTS (Core Component

Technical Specification). B2B enterprise services are defined in compliance with e-business standards,

where applicable.

SAP has developed an advanced meta model and governance process to define and model enterprise

services. Key concept is the business object model. Each enterprise service is assigned to a business object,

representing a well-defined business entity or document. Each business object is assigned to a process

component. Process components are pieces of software covering a well-defined set of business tasks

which belong logically together and are usually executed in the same department. All identified services

were modeled by SAP architects and developers in the Enterprise Services Repository (ESR), which is

supported by SAP NetWeaver technology.

3.3 System Landscapes

The following figures show examples of how typical system landscapes for test and for productive use

may look.

Note the following general recommendations:

■ You can install CRM Application Server ABAP and CRM Java Components on a common host or

separately on different hosts. This applies to test systems as well as to production systems. You

have to carry out 2 installation runs and make sure that ABAP and Java use 2 different system IDs

(SID). If you install the ABAP and the Java system on a common host, ensure that the host is

sufficiently sized to ensure a good performance. If you install the ABAP and the Java system on

different hosts, pay particular attention to the higher network load and plan sizing of the network

accordingly.

■ We recommend that you install SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW) on a separate host from

CRM Application Server ABAP. Technically, you only have to install the BI Content (BI_CONT)

add-on on top of CRM Application Server ABAP. However, you have to be aware of the increased

sizing requirements.

■ If the CRM host is sufficiently sized, you can also install Search and Classification (TREX) on the

same host. However, you have to check if this meets your security requirements.

■ SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java requires a database, but you do not have to create online

backups for this database.

3.4 Overall Implementation Sequence

This section lists the steps (installation, technical configuration, application configuration) required

to implement SAP CRM business scenarios. The table below contains all available software units.

However, to implement a specific scenario, you only need a subset of the software units. For information

about which software is required to implement a specific scenario, see the scenario-specific sections [page

81].

There is no special installation sequence, except that you have to observe the following point:

CRM Application Server ABAP and TREX must be installed before you can complete the CRM Java

Components installation, because after the installation of CRM Java Components, you have to check

whether you can establish a connection to these two software units.

However, further dependencies can exist between some of the subcomponents that belong to a larger

software unit. For example, CRM Mobile Client Component consists of several subcomponents to

which a determined installation sequence applies. These dependencies are explained in the

corresponding component installation guides.

NOTE

Installations with SAPinst: When you start SAPinst from the Installation Master DVD, you can

choose between SAP Business Suite applications and SAP NetWeaver on the entry screen. If you

choose SAP CRM, you can install SAP CRM software units and additional SAP NetWeaver software

units.

3.5 Overall Upgrade Sequence

This chapter is only relevant for you if you run an SAP CRM system with a version lower than SAP

CRM 7.0, such as SAP CRM 5.0, 5.2, or 2007. In this case, we recommend that you combine the upgrade

with the implementation of SAP enhancement packages. For more information about the necessary

upgrade steps and relevant references, see this section. For more information about the possible upgrade

scenarios and the combination with SAP enhancement package installation, see Installation and Upgrade

of SAP Enhancement Packages [page 13].

To upgrade, you use these tools:

■ To upgrade from SAP CRM 5.2 and SAP CRM 2007 to SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1:

● Upgrading SAP CRM Server ABAP is done using SAPup.

● Upgrading SAP CRM Server Java from SAP CRM 5.0, 5.2, and 6.0 is done using SAP

Enhancement Package Installer (SAPehpi). For more information, see the Upgrade Guide – SAP

CRM 7.0 including SAP Enhancement Package 1, section Using the SAP Enhancement Package Installer.

Upgrading lower SAP CRM Server Java releases is done using SAPJup. For more information,

see the Upgrade Guide – SAP CRM 7.0 including SAP Enhancement Package 1, section Using SAPJup.

■ To upgrade from SAP CRM 5.0 to SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1, you can use the tools mentioned above for

most components. For some components, an upgrade is not possible; they must be migrated. This

is due to the fact that as of SAP CRM 5.2, the people-centric UI (PC UI) is no longer supported, and

the WebClient UI was introduced as the standard user interface. A technical upgrade to the new

UI is not possible. For more information about migration, see Migration from SAP CRM 5.0 to SAP

CRM 7.0 EHP1 [page 51].

The business packages for SAP CRM 5.0 cannot be used in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 because they only

run on the PC UI.

NOTE

Upgrading from SAP CRM 4.0 to EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0 is not supported. For more information,

see SAP Software Developer Network at http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRM

+Installation+and+Upgrade+from+4.0+to+7.0

Function in SAP CRM 5.0 5.0 UI Enhancement in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1

Maintenance transaction SAP GUI As in PC UI, maintenance is split for the different types of products: ■ Products (common search for product type material

and service, but maintenance of material only) ■ Service ■ Warranty ■ Competitor products ■ Objects

Enhancing Products

■ To enhance products in the WebClient UI, you can use the following business add-ins (BAdIs) in

Customizing for Customer Relationship Management under Master Data Products Business Add-Ins :

● BAdI: Maintenance of Additional Data in Product BOL (CRM_PRODIL_ADD_DATA)

● BAdI: Enhancements in WebClient UI for Products (CRM_PRODIL_UIU_BADI)

■ To enhance standard searches with search parameters for fields in set types, see SAP Note

1026956.

■ To add important fields to the header area of the WebClient UI and make them visible at first

glance, see SAP Note 1088910.

■ UI generation of customer-specific relationships

The appropriate BOL layer entries can be generated; the views need to be manually developed and

integrated into the product application.

you need to create categorization schemas. A categorization schema is a hierarchical structure that can

be defined flexibly within the category modeler. It can be created for the following applications:

■ Cases

■ Complaints

■ Returns

■ In-house repairs

■ Service orders

■ Service order quotations

■ Service order templates

■ Service confirmations

■ Warranty claims

A subject profile is then assigned to the categorization schema. When you create the different nodes of

a hierarchy structure, the subject codes that are available within the subject profile that you have

assigned to the schema need to be mapped to these nodes.

CAUTION

If you implement Mobile Service in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1, the categorization schemas are not

supported on the client; instead, the previous use of subject codes is still supported. To avoid

inconsistencies between CRM mobile and CRM online, all subject codes that are part of the subject

profile assigned to the categorization schema of a specific application need to be mapped to a node

in the schema.

Request to Brand Owner

The request-to-brand owner approach has been changed slightly compared with SAP CRM 5.0. The

transaction type CHM4 has been introduced to support this function.

Changed Request for Qualification

In SAP CRM 4.0, in the request for qualification, surveys were used to capture qualification-specific

data. Since SAP CRM 5.1, surveys are not used anymore. Instead, the new transaction type CHM3 was

introduced. Transaction type CHM2 is now obsolete.

New Partner Contact Role

In SAP CRM 5.2, the new business partner role PRCONT – Partner Contact was introduced. This role

allows you to improve separating employees of channel partners from other contacts. The applications

Partner Contacts (for the channel manager) and Company Contacts (for the partner manager) filter on this

business role.

NOTE

If you have existing partner contact records in your system, you need to assign them to the new

business partner role PRCONT.

Channel Partner Role

Since SAP CRM 5.2, channel partners are automatically assigned the business partner role Channel

Partner when they are created in the system. This role allows you to improve separation of channel

partners from other accounts.

New Workflow to Delete Users

In SAP CRM 5.2, the workflow WS53000005 CHM_DELUSER was introduced.

In the Channel Management business scenario, the brand owner, together with external companies

called channel partners, uses the CRM system. To give employees of these external companies access

to the brand owner system, they have users in this brand owner system.

These users are always assigned to a business partner that represents the channel partner employee in

the CRM brand owner system. Every channel partner employee (his or her business partner) has a

relationship is contact of to a channel partner company.

NOTE

If this relationship is deleted, you need to check whether the user related to the channel partner

employee also needs to be deleted in the brand owner system. However, the user is not deleted

automatically, but a decision of the brand owner employee responsible (for example, channel

manager) is required. This decision process is provided via the business workflow WS53000005

CHM_DELUSER.

■ Assign agents for the Delete user decision task TS53007922, for example, based on the authorization

role for the Channel Manager role in Customizing of CRM in transaction OOCU.

■ Activate the BAdI implementation CRM_CHM_BUPA_UPD of the BAdI PARTNER_UPDATE.

User Assignment in Channel Manager Role

In SAP CRM 4.0, the Web Channel user management was integrated in the Channel Manager role. Since

SAP CRM 5.2, the channel manager can maintain the user data in the partner contacts application.

Additionally, the Web Channel user management is available in the Channel Manager role as hidden

application.

User Assignment in Partner Role

In addition to the Web Channel user management application, the Company Contacts application now

contains an assignment block that allows you to maintain user data.

Changed User Management for External Users

Up to SAP CRM 5.0, the CRM Web Channel user management in the Enterprise Portal was used for

the channel manager and the partner manager. The external partner users were created in this

application. In SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1, the CRM Web Channel user management is no longer displayed

by default in the CRM business roles or in the Channel Manager and Partner Manager portal roles. Instead,

the applications Partner Contact (in the Channel Manager role) and Company Contact (in the Partner Manager role)

contain theUser assignment block. You can now create or update user data in this assignment block.

The assignment block functions are similar to the CRM Web Channel user management application.

Only if you use Partner Channel Management in the Enterprise Portal, is there a gap compared to SAP

CRM 5.0. The CRM Web Channel user management application offers special functions to synchronize

back-end users in the CRM server with the SAP User Management Engine (UME) user in the Enterprise

Portal. This synchronization is missing when you use the User assignment block. In this assignment

block, you can only create a user in the CRM server.

If you want to user the CRM Web Channel user management for the Channel Manager and Partner

Manager business roles, you need to:

1. Include the CRM Web Channel user management in the Channel Manager and Partner Manager business

roles. Both business roles already contain the logical links. These links are hidden by default.

2. Change the UI configuration for the Partner Contact and Company Contact applications to exclude the

assignment block User.

Obsolete Customizing Settings

In the Customizing activity Customer Relationship Management Partner Channel Management Basic Settings

Define Copy Control for Order Processing the column Application is obsolete. This column will be removed

in a future release.

With SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1, the WebClient UI has been integrated into SAP NetWeaver Portal. You can

run SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 with all features in the portal. Every CRM application is displayed in one portal

page. In comparison to prior releases, you can now easily create portal content by using the role upload

tool.

NOTE

The portal roles Channel Manager, Partner Manager, Customer, Telco Channel Manager, and Telco Partner

Manager are contained in the CRM Business Package. You do not have to upload them separately.

The CRM Business Package has to be customized as described under Basic Settings for SAP CRM

(Business Package for SAP CRM) in SAP Solution Manager.

If you want to use your existing CRM business roles in the portal, proceed as follows:

1. Install SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 or upgrade to this release.

2. Adapt your CRM business roles in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 and perform the necessary customizing.

3. Check your business roles in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 standalone.

4. Install SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 (2004s) or upgrade to this release, and connect SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1

to the portal.

5. Export your CRM business role to an XML file and import this file to the portal.

6. Assign your generated portal role to the portal users.

The CRM business roles that correspond to the portal roles need to be assigned to the CRM users

that correspond to the portal users.

7. Check your generated portal role in the portal.

NOTE

If your role is not running in the portal, you need to check whether you have successfully

performed step 2 and step 5. Make sure that you also assign the new portal roles to the existing

users.

This business scenario seamlessly connects all the business processes that typically occur during a sales

cycle and makes the information available to anyone in the sales team. It supports sales representatives

in organizing their daily work and also provides a sales manager with a fast and clear-cut overview of

all the activities that are to take place or have taken place in the sales organization over a particular

period.

Activities are related to all aspects of a daily selling process. For example, a sales representative has the

possibility of having a look at the result of a telephone call after the first visit to a customer. Or each

time a sales representative’s meeting with a customer culminates in a sales order, a sales representative

can automatically create a sales document that will help to negotiate the sale on better terms.

Description

You use this business scenario to view and create customer data, customer contact information, product

information, and activity management using enhanced data synchronization with the CRM server.

Users such as sales representatives or key account managers can create, view, maintain, and monitor

account information within one application. Managers can then track the status of customer account

activities and view the performance of each sales representative. By being able to manage and monitor

accounts proactively, users are in command of critical customer data.

This business scenario outlines activities that support an office-based campaign manager and a field

sales representative in marketing activities, such as product launches and marketing campaigns.

The campaign manager creates a campaign and assigns the appropriate attributes to it, such as its

products, objectives, and validity dates. The campaign manager also creates or assigns a target group

with target customers, using sophisticated segmentation methods. After this basic information has

been assigned to the campaign, the manager begins planning for the costs and budget of the campaign,

as well as how the campaign’s success will be measured. The campaign manager plans and generates

the activities that define how the campaign is carried out. For example, he or she can generate a mail

merge file from the target group. This mail merge can be used to send invitations by e-mail or in printed

form.

After the activities of the campaign have been generated, these activities are automatically sent to the

field sales team representatives who interact with the customers. The field sales representatives then

carry out the activities of the campaign, for example, contacting all customers who have received

invitations. An outcome analysis measures the results of the campaign.

5.6.6 Service Contract Management

Description

You use this business scenario to perform service processes based on the following:

■ Service contracts agreed with the customer

■ Warranties that were assigned to products, installed base components, or individual objects

Service contracts represent long-term agreements between companies and customers. In service

contracts, the customer is assured of the performance of services within a specific tolerance limit for

specific quantities, for example, within a predefined time frame. The assured services are represented

by service products, such as maintenance or hotline services, which are defined in the individual

contract items. The characteristics of service products are defined in service level agreements (SLA),

which in turn are validated by different parameters, such as availability time and response time. The

parameters serve not only to describe the SLAs, but can also be used to control service processing.

Warranties can be flexibly assigned to individual products, installed base components, or individual

objects. When creating service orders, confirmations, repair orders, or complaints, the system

automatically runs a background check to see whether a warranty exists and then assigns this

accordingly. When calculating prices for the services and service parts in billing, warranties can be taken

into account through the use of appropriate discounts.

6.2 Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

SAP´s delivery on SOA (service-oriented architecture) differs from the pure architectural concept of

SOA in the delivery of ready-to use enterprise services. Enterprise services are SAP-defined Web services

which provide end-to-end business processes or individual business process steps that can be used to

compose business scenarios while ensuring business integrity and ease of reuse. SAP designs and

implements enterprise service interfaces to ensure semantic harmonization and business relevance.

This section deals with the service-enablement of SAP Business Suite 7.

6.2.1 Service Enablement

The service enablement of SAP Business Suite consists of one or more of the following SAP components:

■ SAP Business Suite 7

Enterprise services are an integral part of the software components of the SAP Business Suite

applications. Enterprise services are the technical interfaces to the functionality available in the

business application.

■ SAP NetWeaver PI 7.0 or higher

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) is an open integration and application

platform that provides tools enabling you to set up a service-oriented architecture for business

applications. You can use the platform for providing, discovering, and consuming services,

integrating applications using the integration server, and managing business processes. Process

integration is required in a runtime environment to consume enterprise services in a mediated

scenario.

6.2.2 Installation of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

The installation of service interfaces, and therefore the service enablement of SAP Business Suite,

consists of one or more of the following phases:

■ Identification of software components and required business functions

You use the technical data section of the enterprise service documentation to identify the following

data for each enterprise service:

● the software component version with which the service was shipped

● the business function(s) required to be activated

■ Identification of technical usages

SAP Note 1324838 provides a mapping of business functions and software component versions to

technical usages. You use this documentation to identify the required technical usages for your

list of software component versions and business functions.

■ Installation of the software component ECC-SE

The software component ECC-SE contains service implementations for ECC (the ERP Central

Component). This component must be explicitly installed if you intend to use enterprise services

for ECC functionality. In this case you must also select the technical usage “ESA ECC-SE” during

the enhancement package installation.

■ Selection and installation together with the other parts of the enhancement package

In the enhancement package installation process you must select all the technical usages you have

identified for service enablement together with the technical usages you identified for enhanced

features in SAP Business Suite. The selected technical usages will install the corresponding software

components that contain the enterprise services interfaces and implementations.

■ Enterprise service definitions for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.0 or ES Repository (SAP NetWeaver

7.1) (optional)

To install the content required for the enterprise service definitions you must select the technical

usage “XI Content” in the enhancement package installation process. This usage type downloads

the content files for both SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and 7.1 versions. Unpack the ZIP file and copy the tpz

files corresponding to your SAP NetWeaver version into the import directory of your Integration

Repository (for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.0) or Enterprise Services Repository (for SAP NetWeaver ES

Repository 7.1). Use the import function to import the content files into the corresponding

repository (Integration Repository or Enterprise Services Repository). (Choose Tools Import

Design Objects )

■ Enterprise service models for ES Repository (SAP NetWeaver 7.1) (optional)

To install the content required for the enterprise service models you must select the technical

usage “ESR Content” in the enhancement package installation process. This usage type downloads

the content files for SAP NetWeaver ES Repository 7.1. Unpack the ZIP file and copy the tpz files

into the import directory of your Enterprise Services Repository. Use the import function to import

the content files into the Enterprise Services Repository. (Choose Tools Import design objects )

NOTE

The enterprise service models are not available for the Integration Repository (SAP NetWeaver

PI 7.0)

■ Enterprise service online documentation for Solution Composer (optional)

To install the content required for the enterprise service online documentation you must

download the content file for the corresponding Business Suite application product version from

the Service Marketplace. Then you must import the content file into your Solution Composer.

Refer to SAP Note 1224284 for further information.

■ Services Registry (optional)

The services registry is shipped with SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 and CE 7.1. You must install the services

registry and then publish the enterprise services from the Business Suite application to the registry

using the transaction SOAMANAGER in the backend.

For further information regarding the installation of SAP NetWeaver PI, CE and ES Repository,

refer to the corresponding SAP NetWeaver Installation and Master Guides.

6.3 Developing and Modifying Applications: SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure

To modify or extend CRM Java Web applications, you use the SAP NetWeaver Development

Infrastructure (NWDI). The NWDI supports integration of patches, support packages, and upgrades to

new releases without losing modifications or enhancements and also supports team development.

NWDI requires a local installation on developers' PCs and the installation of a central infrastructure

for version management, application building, and administration of the Java development landscape.

The following figure shows a typical development landscape:

Figure 10:

Local Installation

■ SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio: The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio tool provides access to

the NWDI (also named Development Infrastructure). It enhances the concept of an integrated

development environment with server-side services, which centrally provides the development

teams with a consistent development environment and supports the software development during

the entire life cycle of a product.

■ Local J2EE Engine (SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java)

Central Infrastructure

■ Design Time Repository (DTR): versioning source code management, distributed development of

software in teams, transport and replication of sources

■ Component Build Service (CBS): central build based on the component model

■ Change Management Service (CMS): central administration of the Java development landscape

and transports covering the entire software life cycle

■ Software Deployment Manager (SDM): manual and automatic deployment of archives in central

runtime systems

■ System Landscape Directory (SLD): information about the system landscape

6.4 Customizing Scout

Customizing Scout is part of SAP Solution Manager, meaning that no additional installation is required.

Customizing Scout compares and updates Customizing settings.

Customizing Scout is relevant for all key capabilities and supports the following process:

■ Customizing data is loaded initially from SAP ERP to SAP CRM by using the CRM Middleware

download.

■ The Customizing entries can be compared between SAP ERP and SAP CRM and any differences

visualized.

■ Deltas are kept synchronized. This means that when Customizing settings are maintained in SAP

ERP, they are also updated in SAP CRM.

■ Customizing settings are transported through the test and production system landscape.

More InformationFor more information, see http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager.

6.5 Application Enhancement Tool

The Application Enhancement Tool (AET) allows you to create new fields and tables, and as such is

the successor to the Easy Enhancement Workbench (EEW).

It is integrated into the UI Configuration Tool and can be started from there. The fields that you have

added to an application are available in the UI configuration of the corresponding UI component and

view. You can make these new fields available on the user interface by adding them to the view.

6.4 Customizing Scout

140/164 PUBLIC 2011-05-16

Page 141: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

NOTE

The EEW is still supported. With already existing CRM enhancements, you must use the EEW for

regeneration since they cannot be migrated to the AET. With new CRM enhancements, we

recommend using the AET, but you may also continue using the EEW.

Features

The AET offers the following main functions:

■ Creating custom fields

■ Defining dropdown list boxes for custom fields

■ Translating field labels and entries in dropdown list boxes

■ Assigning search helps and check tables to custom fields

■ Making new custom fields available in search criteria and/or result lists, Business Warehouse (BW)

reporting, R/3 Adapter, CRM Mobile, and CRM interactive reporting, which depends on the

enhanced business object

■ Using different data types, such as characters, dates, times, and numbers

■ Reusing fields in other business objects, if these business objects are based on the same enhancement

place

6.7 Monitoring the System Landscape

To monitor your system landscape, use the SAP NetWeaver monitoring infrastructure. After you have

installed all required components, use the Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 to configure the

monitoring. This guide is available on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/

instguidesNW70. The setup of the monitoring features is a prerequisite for performing the monitoring

activities for your SAP CRM landscape as described in the Solution Operation Guide – SAP CRM 7.0 (available

on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/instguides). This guide provides

information about analysis tools for different systems, components, and scenarios.

6.8 RosettaNet

RosettaNet is a standard for high-tech industries. RosettaNet, a self-funded, nonprofit organization, is

a consortium of major information technology, electronic components, and semiconductor

manufacturing companies working to create and implement industry-wide, open e-business process

standards. These standards form a common e-business language, aligning processes between supply

chain partners on a global basis.

RosettaNet standards offer a robust nonproprietary solution, encompassing data dictionaries,

implementation framework, and XML-based business message schemas and process specifications for

e-business standardization.

RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes® (PIPs®) define business processes between trading partners.

PIPs are specialized system-to-system XML-based dialogs. Each PIP specification includes a business

document with the vocabulary, and a business process with the choreography of the message dialog.

For integration with external systems, SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) provides open

XML messaging interfaces and IDoc interfaces. When a buyer system sends a message in a RosettaNet

message format to the CRM system, the RosettaNet mappings map the inbound message to a CRM

IDoc message format. After processing an inbound message, the CRM system sends an outbound

message, in a CRM IDoc format, to the buyer system. RosettaNet mappings map this outbound message

A.6 Implementable Steps

In the following section, you will get an overview of implementable steps offered by SAP. An

implementable step is part of an end-to-end process and describes the scope of an implementation

project (which typically lasts approximately one to three months). It addresses a single line of business.

It creates value in itself and therefore represents an entity that is implementable. The implementable

steps listed here are grouped according to business logic — each implementable step belongs to one or

several end-to-end processes.

NOTE

The list of implementable steps in this section contain all of the implementable steps that are

available for SAP Business Suite customers. It was created to give you an overview of what is

available in addition to the business processes or business scenarios that are described in detail in

this Master Guide. Note that implementable steps often run across several SAP components such

as SAP ERP, SAP CRM, SAP SCM, or SAP SRM. So if you want to implement an implementable

step, make sure that you have licensed and installed the required SAP components and releases.

You can find the implementable steps in the business process repository (BPR) of SAP Solution Manager.

To read the descriptions of the implementable steps or to find more information about required

components and releases, use planning tools such as the BPR viewer and the SCL/PCL viewer. For more

information about these tools, see Tools for Planning Your System Landscape [page 155].

Manager during your implementation project by taking the pre-delivered implementation content as

the starting point for your project scope. The implementation content is delivered with the following

assigned information:

■ Description of the business scenario, process, or implementable step

■ Configuration content (Customizing activities or configuration documentation)

A.7.2 Using the BPR Viewer

Procedure

Calling Up the BPR Viewer

You can call up the BPR viewer directly using the Internet address https://

implementationcontent.sap.com/bpr. Alternatively, you can also call up the Internet address http://

service.sap.com/bpr first, to see more background information about the BPR viewer and additional

material on SAP Service Marketplace.

Working with the BPR Viewer

To call up information about business scenarios, business processes, or implementable steps, navigate

the following paths in the BPR viewer:

BPR Object Location

Business scenario Under Solutions/Applications

Business process Under Organizational Areas

Implementable step Under Solutions/Applications

For each business scenario, business process, or implementable step, you can select between different

versions that depend on varying components and releases. To display the descriptions of a business

scenario, business process, or implementable step, choose the Documentation tab page. To display

configuration documentation, choose the Configuration tab page.

NOTE

The BPR Viewer displays all descriptions, but only a selection of the configuration documentation.

To view all configuration documentation, install and use SAP Solution Manager at your customer

site.

A.7.3 Scenario and Process Component List

The scenario and process component list (SCL/PCL) is a tool on the SAP Service Marketplace that allows

you to find realization alternatives for SAP solutions, business scenarios, and processes for your SAP

enhancement package installation. You find the tool at http://service.sap.com/scl.

A Appendix

A.7 Tools and Resources for Planning Your System Landscape

2011-05-16 PUBLIC 157/164

Page 158: Install and Upgrade of EHP1 on Sapcrm 7.0

The SCL/PCL helps you to bridge the gap between the business view and the technical view in SAP's

products. It shows you which application components are needed to realize a business scenario or a

process and which business scenarios are possible with a given set of application components.

A.7.4 Using the SCL/PCL

Procedure

1. Go to SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/scl.

2. To start the SCL/PCL, choose Start Application.

The following selection options are provided:

■ SAP Scenarios and Realization Alternatives

With this option you can browse SAP's solutions, business scenarios, and processes. You can

find out which components are needed and the available alternatives.

■ SAP Components and Possible Scenarios

This option allows you to browse SAP's products and components and to find out, which

business scenarios and processes you can realize using the components.

For more information on how to use the tool, refer to the Help section.

3. Select SAP Scenarios and Realization Alternatives.

Select one or several scenarios, processes, and variants you want to realize. You can make your

selection by using an alphabetical index or a full-text search. It is also possible to see all scenarios

for a certain solution. You will then get a list of the alternative ways to realize these scenarios. You

can also search for the identified business functions of a SAP enhancement package.

In the following steps we chose the scenario Billing Analysis in ERP as an example.

4. Add the scenario Billing Analysis in ERP to the Selected Scenarios/Processes/Variants list and choose Show

Realization Alternatives. The SCL/PCL then lists the different possibilities. With options like Validity

you can switch between possible and impossible realization alternatives. TheOptional Comp.

dropdown list helps you to find the minimum required SAP product versions.
