COD, HCI integration to On-Premise

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have some questions regarding a Demo environment currently being setup, it contains the following systems:

- Cloud for Customer (C4C);

- SAP CRM 7.0 On-Premise;

- (Requested) HCI Integration system;

The C4C system is already running, now we want to integrate it with SAP CRM OP. HCI is requested with SAP but what is needed to actually utilize it;

- How to access HCI? URL username, password needed?

- Via Eclipse we should be able to access HCI, are we expected to receive an URL and credentials from SAP once HCI is delivered?

- Is Eclipse the only tool to access HCI?

- We have no plans to migrate data, however we would like to be able to synchronize accounts, orders etc. Is it mandatory to have the SAP Data Services Agent running on top of the SAP CRM OP solution?

Currently the following document http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/hci1/en/hci10_agent_en.pdf is saying that SAP Data Services Agent is needed.

But the following document is not relating to SAP Data Services Agent is needed https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/cloud4customer (august) 7. Integration to SAP CRM with HCI, Cloud.

Maybe some of you already achieved the same within a productive or demo environment. Please share your findings and helpfull comments.

The documents made available by SAP are somehow vague in the subject.

Hope someone can help here.

Kind regards,
Jelmer

Hi jelmer,

plenty of questions. I hope I can anser some.

1. My understanding is that you still have to use Eclipse to manage and configure HCI. But I have not worked with the November Release yet. You should receive the URL and credentials that you must enter into the settings of eclipse so you can access HCI.

2. The latest config guide is here: : https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/instguides -> Cloud Solutions from SAP --> SAP Cloud for Customer November.

I will post a few docs later today that have more details...but those are all from August 2013!

Hi,

I managed to load my HCI Configuration Guide into the WIKI...you may find those docs valuable. Just remember, that those are from August 2013, so not the very latest version of C4C and HCI and that some ofthe links might only work SAP-internally. Systems were readily configured to support stand-alone processes and we maked them "only" work together!

Have fun.

Dear Jelmer,

if you requested a SAP HANA Cloud Integration tenant you should recieve an onboarding email from SAP with all required information for configuration and system access. Also the procedure on how to obtain relevant user authorizations should be provided there.

After this you download Eclipse tooling and required plug-ins from SAP Development Tools for Eclipse . Once you have the onboarding email with the tenant information you can connect your Eclipse to the tenant or open the WebUI URL.

Best regards,

Ralf.
