UME Company in Portals

[Former Member]

We are currently using sapum.properties configuration parameter ume.tpd.companies to list companies as a ; separated list, to start with we had only few companies (like < 1000) and it works great for us as we use this for delegated admin and KM ACL etc.

Recently there is been a push to add several thousand more companies to the list, it is getting cumbersome to maintain a text file(Direct Editing) and also it requires a Portal restart for Company to be activated.

I am looking for alternative way to deal with this problem, I was looking Trading Partner Directory but the documentation says I need SRM for it to work, but we do not have SRM & Do not plan on having one.

I was thinking of writing a custom class which will go against our R/3 Customer Master,Similar to Trading Partner Directory.

Any body has any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. We would like to continue using Delegated Admin, Self Registration and Dynamic Company Group (STPD_) created by Portal

Hello Venkat,

Did you have any success with your UME Companies problem?

Our project includes ECC, CRM 5.1, SRM6.0 and Portal7.0. We have this CRM scenario where a customer (manager) logs on and approves one of his employees, already self-registered, as a customer Portal user. UME seems to support that scenario, but it can only retrieve company information from a SRM backend system using a custom implementation of the Trading Partner Directory interface. In our case it is a CRM scenario and CRM Business Partners are not replicated on SRM.

Can you suggest a better solution then this SRM Trading Partner? Is there a better way to update the list of companies in UME from a list of CRM Business Partner?

Thanks
