In order that SAP CRM, SAP APO and SAP ECC can exchange data, you need to specify logical systems and remote function call (RFC) connections for each system.

Procedure

The following figure shows an example system landscape and the steps necessary to set it up.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Set-up of Logical Systems and RFC Connections

In SAP CRM

  1. Define logical system.

    In Customizing choose   SAP Web Application Server   Application Server   IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE)   Basic Settings   Logical Systems   Define Logical System.  

    Logical System

    Description

    CR7CLNT700

    CRM System CR7, Client 700

  2. Assign client to logical system.

    In Customizing choose   SAP Web Application Server   Application Server   IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE)   Basic Settings   Logical Systems   Assign Logical System to Client.  

    Client

    Name

  4. Set up connection to SAP APO.

    Note Note

    A client can support only one SAP APO System. This table is client independent, so if you need to define connections to more than one SAP APO System, you will need to define an entry for each RFC connection.

    End of the note.

    1. Define Middleware parameters by choosing   Customer Relationship Management   CRM Middleware and Related Components   Communication Setup   Middleware Parameters   Define Middleware Parameters  .

    2. Select Availability Check using SAP APO and create the following table entry:

    Parameter 1

    RFC-Destination

    Control Information

    CRMAPOATP

    CRMAPOATP

    AP9CLNT900

    X=APO3.0A

In SAP ECC

  1. Define logical systems.

    In Customizing choose   SAP NetWeaver   Application Server   IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE)   Basic Settings   Logical Systems   Define Logical System  .

    Logical System

    Description

    R38CLNT800

    R/3 System R38, Client 800

    AP9CLNT900

    APO System AP9, Client 900

  2. Assign client to logical system.

    1. In Customizing choose   SAP NetWeaver   Application Server   IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE)   Basic Settings   Logical Systems   Assign Logical System to Client  .
