Installation Guide – SAP CRM Groupware


Connector Release 4.0
1 Introduction
Purpose
This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the components of the 2.1 release of
SAP CRM Groupware Connector environment. This guide also specifies the requirements for the installation
and proper operation of the connectors.
The following topics are discussed:
• Architecture of the Groupware Connectors
• Hardware and software requirements
• Preliminary actions before installing Groupware Connectors
• Step-by-step installation instructions

Skill in performing typical Groupware administrative tasks is expected when preparing Groupware
Servers for integration.
There are two SAP CRM Groupware Connectors available, one for the Microsoft (MS) Exchange Server and
one for the Lotus Domino Server. Groupware Connectors for SAP CRM release 4.0 allow two-way replication
from different SAP CRM applications to the groupware and back. The scope of the product includes
replication of contacts (business partner), appointments and tasks (activity and resource planning).

Object types in different systems

SAP CRM MS Exchange Groupware Lotus Domino Groupware


Server Server
Business partner Contact Contact (Person)
• Contacts folder in User’s • User’s private contact
Mailbox (private contacts) database (private contacts)
• Public folder (public contacts) • Public contacts database

Activity Management or Task To Do (Task)


Resource Planning • Tasks folder in User’s • User’s mail database: to-do
Mailbox frameset, calendar frameset

Activity Management or Appointment, Meeting Calendar Entry (Appointment)


Resource Planning • Calendar folder in User’s • User’s mail database: calendar
Mailbox frameset

Implementation Considerations
Groupware Connector consists of the following components:
• Groupware Connector
• Groupware Connector Proxy

May 2005 5
Installation Guide: SAP CRM Groupware Connector

The solution requires installation of one instance of Groupware Connector and one or more instances of
Groupware Connector Proxies. The number of installed instances of Groupware Connector Proxies depends
on following points:
• Geographical distribution of the organization and Wide Area Network (WAN) landscape
• Desired performance of the solution. See next chapter for more details.

Integration
Relation of the components in Groupware Integration solution is provided in the following diagram.

Server (as

Groupware Connector deals with CRM via Groupware Adapter. SOAP over HTTP is used for collaboration.
Connection to Groupware Servers is provided via one or more Proxy instances. Connector uses native to
implementation platform protocol for internal collaboration with Proxies:
• DCOM for Exchange Groupware Connector, a Win32 executable
• RMI for Lotus Groupware Connector, a Java application.
Internal communication between Connector and its proxies is optimized to consume as minimum network
traffic as possible, thus allowing to build largely distributed solutions where Proxies provide link to remote
Groupware Servers.
The simplest configuration is when Groupware Connector and one instance of Groupware Connector Proxy
per entire organization are installed on the same box in the same LAN with CRM server. This provides the
configuration easiest to maintain, but at the same time it provides the lowest performance.
It is recommended to setup Groupware Connector and Default instance of Groupware Connector Proxy on
the computer in the same Local Area Network with the CRM server (Groupware Adapter). Additional
instance of Groupware Connector Proxy is recommended to be setup in each LAN node of the Wide Area
Network. Instances of the Groupware Connector Proxy can be installed or removed after initial setup was
performed.
Following options can be considered to select the best solution
• Minimum required bandwidth between Groupware Connector and Remote Proxy instance is
128kbps.
• Minimum required bandwidth between Groupware Connector Proxy and remove Groupware Server
is 1Mbps. (This is the case for the simplest configuration).
• When using Remote Proxy in comparison to setting up the Proxy to deal with remote Groupware
Servers …
o Network utilization is about 5 times less during CRM  Groupware replication.

6 May 2005
Installation Guide: SAP CRM Groupware Connector

o Performance of Groupware  CRM replication can be up to 100 times faster (depending on


WAN bandwidth) because Remote Proxy will not utilze the network while detecting the
changes.

be obtained.
To determine the HTTP URL of the SOAP listener, perform the following steps:
1. Obtain HTTP server Host Name and Port
a. Enter the transaction code SMICM and choose Services.
b. On the Service Display screen, get the Host Name and the Service Name/Port for the HTTP
protocol (see the figure below).

This forms the http://[Host Name]:[Service Name/Port] part of the URL address.
2. Determine the relative path of the SOAP listener:
a. Enter the transaction code SICF.
b. Expand the tree to locate the soap node (usually found in default_host → sap → bc → soap
→rfc).
c. The path below the default_host node forms the rest of the URL address (sap/bc/soap/rfc),
i.e. finally you get http://[Host Name]:[Service Name/Port]/sap/bc/soap/rfc

14 May 2005
Installation Guide: SAP CRM Groupware Connector

5. Select Template Server and a server that stores the Directory Assistance template (DA50.NTF),
then select the template.
6. Make sure that an Inherit future design change is selected and press OK.
7. Create a replica of the Directory Assistance database on each server that will use it. Use the
same file name and path for each replica to easily setup multiple servers to use the directory
assistance.

To setup one server to use Directory Assistance


1. In the Lotus Domino Administrator, select the Configuration tab.
2. In the Use Directory on field, choose the server where you want to modify the Lotus Domino
Directory.

4. On the Basics tab in the Directory Assistance database name field, enter the file name you
defined for the replica of the Directory Assistance database on this server, for example, enter
DA.NSF.
5. If the Directory Assistance database is in a sub-directory, provide the path relative to the data
directory, for example, DIRECTORIES\DA.NSF.
6. Press Save and Close.

To setup multiple servers to use Directory Assistance


1. In the Lotus Domino Administrator select the Configuration tab.
2. In the Use Directory on field choose the server where you want to modify the Lotus Domino
Directory.
3. Choose Server → All Server Documents.
4. Select the Server documents for servers that use the same file name for the replica of the
Directory Assistance database. A checkmark appears next to each document.
5. Choose Actions → Set Directory Assistance Information.
6. Enter the file name you defined for the Directory Assistance database on these servers, for
example DA.NSF.
7. If the Directory Assistance database is in a sub-directory, provide the path relative to the data
directory, for example DIRECTORIES\DA.NSF.
8. Press OK.
9. Repeat Steps 5 to 8 for each set of servers that uses the same file name and path for the replica
of the Directory Assistance database.

To create a Directory Assistance document for a secondary Lotus Domino Directory


1. In the server window on the left pane of the Lotus Domino Administrator, select a server that
stores the Directory Assistance database.
2. If you do not see the server window, press servers icon.
3. Select the Configuration tab.
4. Expand Directory → Directory Assistance.
5. Select Add directory assistance.
6. On the Basics tab, enter the following fields:
Field Enter
Domain Type Choose Notes.
Domain Name The name of the Notes domain associated with the secondary directory.
The domain name must be different from the primary Notes domain and
from all other domain names configured in Directory Assistance.
If the secondary directory is not associated with the Notes domain, enter a
domain name; do not specify the primary Notes domain (for example,
Public Address Book).
Company Name The name of the Company associated with this directory. Multiple
directory assistance documents can use the same Company name (for
example, Public).
Search Order A number representing the order in which this directory is searched,
relative to other directories in the Directory Assistance database.

30 May 2005
Installation Guide: SAP CRM Groupware Connector

Field Enter
Enabled Choose Yes to enable Directory Assistance for this directory.
7. Select the Rules tab to enter the following fields:
Field Enter
Rule # One or more rules that describe the names in the directory. By default, the
first rule contains all asterisks, indicating all names in the directory (for
example, All).

No – to disable a specific rule
Yes – to enable a specific rule
By default, the first rule is enabled.
Trusted for Choose:
Credentials
Yes – to allow Lotus Domino to use this directory to authenticate Web
clients with names that correspond to the rule.
No (default) – to prevent Lotus Domino from using this directory to
authenticate Web clients with names that correspond to the rule.

8. To specify (up to five) replicas of the secondary directory to use for Directory Assistance, press
the Replicas tab and enter the following fields.

If you authenticate web clients registered in the secondary directory and you also include the
directory in the directory catalog on the Replicas tab, specify the replica of the secondary Lotus
Domino directory you used to build the source directory catalog.
Do not specify a replica of the directory catalog in this field.
Field Enter
Database links Open the replica of the secondary directory and choose Edit → Copy As
Link → Database Link.
Select the Database links field and choose Edit → Paste.
Use database links only on Lotus Domino Release 5 servers. Using
database links may delay server startup because when you restart a
server that uses Directory Assistance, server tasks need to retrieve
database information from the remote servers the links refer to. Use
database links only if the servers the links refer to are consistently
available.
Replica # The server name and file name of each replica of the secondary directory,
for example:
Server name: Mail1/SAP
Directory file name: PUBLICNAMES.NSF
Next to each replica selected Enabled.

If you specify a replica in the Database links field and in the Replica field, the Replica field takes
precedence.
9. Press Save and Close. Restart the server.

4.8 Preparing for Replication of Private Contacts


To support replication of private contacts Groupware Connector requires a replica of Personal Address Book
on Lotus server. File name of the replica database should follow the next approaches:
1. Use naming convention – postfix is appended to base filename as provided in the Mail file field
on Mail tab of the user’s properties in Public Address Book. Default value for postfix is ‘_ab’.
Postfix expected by Groupware Connector can be reconfigured using Groupware Connectors
AdminTool.
This approach is the default one.
2. Provide filename of the user’s Private Address Book in config file as exclusion to the first rule.
To setup replication of users Private Address Book onto the server
1. In Lotus Notes the client should Right-Click on the Private Address Book database and select
Replication  New Replica …
2. Select the target server and give filename using one of the approaches described above. In case
exclusion approach is selected, next sample lines will have to be added into private-contact-
map.xml file if the Groupware Connector after the setup is complete.

Make sure you have rights to create replica databases on a server. You can check it by using
Domino Administrator. Select the server you need and then select Configuration Tab → Server
→ Current Server Document  Security Tab  Server Access  Create Replica Databases.
Please contact Administrator to perform this step if you do not have that permission.
3. Grant access permission to Lotus Connectors’ administrative account on replica database. Refer
to the same point of Preparing Database for Storing CRM Contacts
4. Setup replication schedule in Lotus Notes client. See Notes 5 Help for details; section Notes
Away from the Office  The Notes Replicator.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all necessary Private Address Book databases.
To provide exlusion list with location of replica databases of user’s Private Address Book
1. Finish the installation of Lotus Groupware Connector.
2. Create private-contact-map.xml in the Lotus Connector’s installation folder using Notepad or any
other text editor.
3. Provide list of exlusions using the sample below
