SAP R/3 Guide to EDI, IDocs,= ALE and Interfaces

Author: Axel Angeli and Robi Gonfalonieri, Ulrich Streit; Vieweg, 1999

This best-selling book is the only publication on the market that concentrates on the development side of SAP IDocs and ALE and interface design for SAP R/3.= The book is meant for experienced consultants and developers, who want to have a concise but complete introduction about how to design own IDocs, create tri= gger and workflows for special purposes and need an introduction in advanced int= erface design for SAP.

Testimonials (from Amazon.com):

From Alexandria, VA:

Finally, a Bible for IDOCs. By far, the best book on IDOC= s that I have come across. A precise, succinct and down-to-earth literature for pick= ing up skills on ALE/EDI-IDOCs, this book also carries a very user-friendly, real-time and pragmatic approach to learning IDOCs. With an SAP System besi= des, this book took me just a couple of hours to master the whole of it. The book starts with a remark - IDOCs are simple to learn, tough to explain. But the authors have dispelled the notion, disproving it totally. It is a handy book for developers/consultants, and I think it is a bare necessity for Project Managers. The time estimate given in the book for accomplishing EDI Solutio= ns stands as a great enlightener for the Project Managers with Integration Projects at hand.

From São Paulo:

Easy to read and excellent in examples. The best book about IDOCs/ALE.

From Washington, DC:

This is the best book of the 3 available IDOC/ALE titles - but just for professionals, who want t= o get the essentials for the IDOC/ALE interface, and how to use workflow in that context. It's thin (120 pages), but it focuses on the real important facts = and information. …

From Decatur, GA:

Outstanding Reference Source for EDI interfaces. Excellent reference source for consulta= nts learning about the EDI interface and ALE. The book gives real world answers= and cuts straight to the heart of the matter. I highly recommend the book for consultants working on the subsystem side as well as those consultants work= ing EDI on the SAP side.

Technische Integration von SAP-Systemen

Author: Axel Angeli; SAP Press, 2003

IBM Redbook: A B2B Solution using WebSphere Business Integr= ation V4.1 and WebSphere Business Connection V1.1

Editor: Lee Gavin Authors: Axel Angeli, Viral Ved, Peter Gersak, Nizal Ishmael et a= l.
Published as IBM Redbook: see http://ibm.com/redb= ooks No. SG24-6916-0= 0

The world of e-commerce is changing rapidly. Today, e-commerce means much more = than just EDI: it means supporting interactive Web sites; it means enabling the communications with multiple exchanges; it means using XML and the Internet= to conduct interactive business-to-customer and business-to-business communications.

This IBM Redbook explores some of the possibilities using products from WebSphere Business Integration V4.1 (WBI and TPI) and WebSphere Business Connect V1.1 product suites in combination with SAP R/3.

Project Success Stories

In the following there are some more detailed explanation about certain project, in which I take pride in saying, that I played an important and influencing ro= le and could bring in important advice and assistance to improve the project a= nd help it succeed.

Steel: Quick-chang= e add-on for order entry in variant configuration

Project owner: Profilarbed Arcelor Long Commercials, Luxembourg<= /p>
Order entry in a business for rolling highly specialized steel products is a comp= lex and critical issue. Imagine that a typical order consists of 100-500 differ= ent steel elements (e.g. for a bridge), where every part needs to be individual= ly configured, e.g. they need different marking, thrilling, painting, labeling= and certifications.

When I joined the project team as a development coach, the project planning phase = was already ongoing for several years. The project management came to the conclusion that some enhancements to the standard R/3 needed to be done. Af= ter a thorough analysis of the existing implementation in SD and variant configuration and intensive discussions with the key users, I decided that a specialized add-on for the variant configuration was necessary. It was more= and more evident, that the users needed a tool that allowed an easy, convenient= and quick tool to change the configuration of a sales order not only in order to accelerate the order entry but also to reduce entry mistakes.

Because time until go-live ran out, I had to code large parts of the now legendary solution by myself. The cunning part was the design of a configur= ation matrix in R/3 that allowed to tick the configuration values instead of entering th= em. Having a n average of 150 characteristics valuated per sales item the solut= ion proved to be performance critical and a great deal of optimization was necessary to satisfy all sides in the company. During upgrade to 4.6C the solution was modified in a way that it can now be called a business add-in solution rather than a modification. I personally learned through all this = the very inner details of the SD an= d MM modules.<= /p>

Chemicals: Design = and implementation of a production controller on WebAS

Project owner: Teijin Monofilament Germany, Bobingen, Germany

It was explicitly meant to be a visionary decision to rewrite the software for the production controller of Teijin on the SAP WebAS. The unique change managem= ent, the sophisticated database integration and the stable and proven runtime environment convinced the customer that SAP WebAS would be the for best framework compared to J2EE, MicroSoft.NET or traditional development environments to produce a stable, reliable and future safe solution with reasonable effort.

My role in this project is the technology advisor and mentor. Occasionally I code myself, but I mainly care for connecting peripheral and pervasive devices, like balances, electronic keys. I am also responsible for giving t= he solution a portable and adaptable BAPI design and allowing creating entry screens as well as SAP Dynpros and also in HTML and in the new WebDynpro™ technology.

Logistics: Joint v= enture with Fraunhofer to link PUZZLE™ to Netweaver

Project owner: Joint venture Fraunhofer Gesellschaf= t IML Dortmund, OSCo GmbH Mannheim, Logos! Informatik GmbH

The Fraunhofer Society, Institute for Material Research in Dortmund is the inventor of a PC based software tool that allows the visual and interactive optimization of transp= ort loads like trucks or containers. It was the personal initiative of my colle= ague Uli Halfmann and myself to see the potentials o this product and to design = and implement the interface between PUZZLE and SAP ERP. More at www.mypuzzle.de .

= Illustration 2: Example of Puzzle planning software

Chemicals: Mass da= ta synchronization between SAP and data warehouse

Project owner: DuPont Performance Coatings, Wuppertal, Germany

I have been consulting DuPont for quite a while already, mainly in technical issues like IDocs, performance and user-exits, when the European data manager aske= d me to take care of the technological design of the mass data interfaces between SAP R/3 and a newly designed data warehouse and the Manugistics planning system. Due to shortage of skilled development staff, I did large parts of = the coding by myself, writing useful reusable tools to accelerate both data migration and interface program design. Though, the idea was especially to = have me as the technology advisor for the project owner with respect to audit and evaluate the proposals and realizations of the external project team. This project proved how valuable it is, to bring in an arbiter and monitor who is able to review and discuss the ideas and solution of all different teams in project, mainly the project owner and the design and implementation team. <= o:p>

Automotive: Develo= pment coaching for a heterogeneous team

Project owner: Delphi Automotive, Sarregemuines/Paris/Cocomo

I joined this project in its final phase on invitation of EDS Progical, France, the company responsible for the development part of the project. They realized skill deficiencies in their development team and some contention with the functional team, led by KPMG and Andersen Consulting (now: Accenture). Fortunately, I managed in the very beginning to present myself as a neutral, senior coach and all parties including the project owner came voluntarily to ask for advice and arbitration. I take pride in saying that I had a substan= tial share in bringing the project from critical state to live.

Coaching: SAP hier= archical batch and commodity tracking software

Project owner: Johns Manville Germany and OSCo GmbH Mannheim

The software is an add-on to standard R/3 releases allowing the easy, quick and reliable administration of hierarchical production batches and lots. Togeth= er with my business partner Robi Gonfalonieri I had been mainly involved in designing the final release and mentoring the development team. =

Seminar and Training Offers (“Queen Mary 2 Seminar”)

QM2 - The Queen Ma= ry II Project Seminar

Swearing in the project team by f= ounding a common history

During the transatlantic voyage on board of the World's largest ocean liner we tra= in the essentials of your project, form a common vision and mould the individu= als into a sworn-in society that is built on the mutual and emotional memory related to the cruise. This o= ffer is targeted to project teams at the beginning and as kick-off training for larger project teams and critical mission projects.

If you want to build a ship, do= n't start drumming up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instea= d, teach them to yearn for the wide and endless sea.

Si = tu veux construire un bateau, ne rassemble pas des hommes pour aller chercher du bo= is, préparer des outils, répartir les tâches, allége= r le travail mais enseigne aux gens la nostalgie de l'infini de la mer.

Antoine de Saint Exupéry= , Terre des Hommes, II

Why to do it? Homogenizing team know-how and mission= goals

The beginning of a project is like a new born life. The conditioning in its ear= ly phase decides on the future behaviour. When starting a project the members of your team is a compilation of individuals. They have typically specialized skills in different areas, use different expressions or homonymous expressions to denominate different entities, and have different visions, understandings and illusions about the project stra= tegy and goal. The QM2 seminar will equalize these differences.

Why a voyage?

A project is well paralleled by the challenge and endeavor of a traverse. In = both cases a small number of skilled people with different talents are brought together for a limited amount of time in a confined space in order to fulfi= ll a common mission and reach a destined endpoint. At the same time a modern lin= er is an unparalleled high technology city that provides for all the infrastructure and amenities for a technical seminar and an unforgettable positive experience.

The Queen Mary grand traverse is, however, our principle offer for the seminar = only while it can be held at any other location at your liking. The location sho= uld be a resort in a relaxing ambiance that provides a modern infrastructure and allows the participants to make experiences different what they expect at h= ome. Basically any holiday resort, a golf or wellness hotel will do. Some of our alternatives are:

· The Icehotel in Kiruna-Jukkusjärvi, Swedish Lapland (www.icehotel.com)

· Zermatt in the Swiss Alps

· Sophia-Antipolis near Nic= e at the French Mediterranean Riviera

· World Disney World WDM re= sort Orlando, Florida

· Dubai Techn= opolis

What to learn in the seminar

The training will actually be conducted like a small project in its own. The co= mmon goal is be find a consented agreement about the possible achievements, milestones and strategies of the envisioned project. Given this, every team member will learn the essential skills needed in a project hands on.

Excerpts of the curriculum

· Learn to present and teac= h the own special skills

· Train the ability and awa= reness to actively delegate

· Learn to judge who the be= st performer for certain topics is.

· Discuss the project param= eters and endorse goal and strategy

· Learn about the importanc= e of the emotional side of a technical project

· Learn the technical architecture and best practices of Netweaver

· Learn about holistic meth= ods for coping with complex projects

Who is it for?

The seminar is designed for the initial phase of SAP and SAP Netweaver projects with twenty or more core team members and/or where the projected budget sta= rts from 5 Million US$. Depending on the nature of the project it may also be suitable as incentive and accelerator boot camp at a project's mid-phase.
