Loading the Customizing Objects to Groupware 

Use

You must load the Customizing data in the ABAP MapBox tables before you can start the initial load of business partners. The Customizing objects that you must load from the CRM server to the site of the Groupware adapter are listed below:

●      GWA_ACTVCAT

●      GWA_ACTVCHAR

●      GWA_ADDRCOMMAP

●      GWA_APPLN_MSG

●      GWA_BPROLES

●      GWA_BP_CUST

●      GWA_CATG_CUST

●      GWA_COUNTRY

●      GWA_CUSTPROP

●      GWA_CUST_LANGU

●      GWA_CUST_PERS3

●      GWA_CUST_PRIO

●      GWA_DATA

●      GWA_GWOMSTRCAT

●      GWA_GWO_SELRET

●      GWA_MDT

●      GWA_PROCTYPE

●      GWA_SITETYPE

●      GWA_STAREASON

●      GWA_STAT_CUST

For more information on the Customizing objects mentioned above, see Groupware Customizing Objects.

We recommend that you limit the size of the message (block size) to 100 for the loading of the necessary Customizing objects. We recommend block size 10 for the Customizing object GWA_COUNTRY. To change the block size, call transaction R3AC3 and display the details of the object. Choose Display ® Change and enter the value 100, or for the customizing object GWA_COUNTRY, the value 10, in the field Block Size.

If you change the Customizing settings (see Customizing Settings for Groupware Integration) again after you have loaded the customizing objects, you need to reload the appropriate customizing objects using transaction R3AS.

 

Prerequisites

Before you can load the Customizing objects, the following prerequisites must be filled:

●      You have configured the host name and port number of the Groupware server in the SAP Implementation Guide, by choosing Customer Relationship Management ® CRM Middleware and Related Components ® Groupware Integration ® Maintain General Groupware Settings. This step is mandatory for the loaded objects to function.

●      You have successfully carried out the following procedures:

○       Fetching Metadata for BUS_TRANS_MSG

○       Get Activity Categories for Master Category List

○       Get Business Partner Roles for Master Category List

○       Applying Filter Conditions to the GWA_APPLN_MSG Customizing Object

○       Apply Filter Conditions to Customizing Object GWA_COUNTRY

Procedure

...

       1.      Log on to the CRM server and choose Architecture and Technology ® Middleware ® Data Exchange ® Initial Load ® Start (Transaction R3AS).

The Start Initial Load screen appears.

       2.      Under Object, in the Loan Object field, enter the name of the customizing object.

In addition, you can choose F4 to select the customizing object from the list.

       3.      Under Data Flow, in the Source Site (Sender) field, enter CRM.

       4.      Under Data Flow, in the Destination Site (Receiver) field, enter the name of the site that is based on the Groupware Adapter 01 (mBDoc) site type.

       5.      Choose Execute.

       6.      Repeat steps 2 to 5 for each customizing object you want to load.

You must ensure that:

●        The queues of type ISP_D*, which process inbound Groupware messages to the Groupware Adapter, are empty.

●        The queues of type ISP_D* are registered under the Queue IN scheduler.

●        The queues of type CRI* are registered under the Queue IN scheduler.

Result

A dialog box appears indicating that the initial load is in progress. All messages are transferred to one of the ISP_D* queues and processed by MapBox. You can now perform the initial load of business partners. For more information, see Transfer Business Partner to Public Contact Directory.

All messages must be processed without any errors.
