Steps:

Registering Event Handler in ERP

To enable the delta download of knowledge bases for the Configuration Engine in AP, you have to
register or change an event.

Insert the below value in table/view TBE31 using SM30 Transaction code in ECC System

EVENT LAND APPLK FUNCT

550002 BC-MID COM_SCE_COLLECT_DATA_CHANGE

Register a New Consumer in ERP

You register a new consumer by maintaining the tables CRMCONSUM and CRMRFCPAR in your
ERP system as follows.

* *Insert the below value in the table CRMCONSUM using SM30 Transaction Code in ECC system

CONSUMER AKTIV TEXT Q_PREFIX

IPC X IPC IPC

Insert the value in the table CRMRFCPAR SM30 Transaction Code in ECC system

CONSUMER OBJNAME DOWNLOAD RFCDEST RFC IN BAPINAME USE

IN Q

IPC SCE I CRM RFC <INQUE> AP_SCE_INIT X

Destination

IPC SCE D CRM RFC <INQUE> AP_SCE_DELT X

Destination

Download entering type:

- I To initialize the configuration database downloading of all given knowledge bases (exisiting
knowledge bases will be overwritten).

- D To download knowledge bases for changed data only (delta download).

Replace RFCDEST with the appropriate RFC destinations of the AP system. When you create the
RFC destination, remember to grant full authorizations in object S_RFC to the AP SU01
connection user.
Replace INQUE with the appropriate buffer names in the AP system, if they are available.
Enter X in the USE IN Q field to enable the use of buffers. If the Buffers are not available then not
applicable.

Initialize the Database in AP

Use the report CFG_AP_INITIALISE_DB to initialize the configuration database in AP. In case of an
error, while storing the data to the database, the system generates a message and stores it in the
message log.

Downloading the Knowledge Base from ECC to CRM

Extended Configuration Management (XCM Settings)

You use the Extended Configuration Management (XCM) Administration tool to configure Web
applications, once you have installed the Web components. You use it to make configuration settings
needed at runtime.

The CRM Web applications are used in the following scenarios:

CRM E-Commerce
ERP E-Commerce
Selling via eBay in CRM and ERP
Channel Management
Interaction Center
Interaction Center WebClient
Interaction Center Workforce Management
Internet Customer Self-Service
SAF

You only have to set up XCM configuration settings for those Web applications that are relevant to
the scenarios and processes you are using.The XCM user interface is used for Java-side
configuration of the Web application. You have to maintain two setting types in XCM:

Procedure

This section contains information about setting up User Interface (UI) for product configuration.
Product configuration is a function in the Internet Pricing and Configurator (IPC). The following steps
explain how to configure a Web application in XCM, assuming you have installed the application.

Starting XCM

You access the XCM tool at: http://*<host>:<port>/<web app name>/admin/xcm/init.do{*}

Make sure that you have user id and password to logon to XCM. Provide a user and password. If
you are logging on for the first time use the Administrator user. the password you defined during the
installation of NetWeaver When the application opens a closed control tree is displayed on the left of
the screen. A screen Containing help information is displayed to the right.

You can use edit (change settings) or display (see settings) mode in XCM. You use the button in the
top right hand corner of the screen to change between modes. When you switch to edit mode a DB
lock is set meaning that only this user can edit the settings at one time. The lock is released

After logging on to XCM system click on Application Configuration > SAP > CRM Product Simulation

Create a Customer Application Configuration

Once you have selected the configuration that suits your needs, go to Edit mode.

1. Enter a configuration Name and choose Create.

2. Configure the application configuration by associating configuration data with the configuration
parameters. There is a description for the scenario of each configuration parameter in the last
column of the parameter table.
Configure a Customer Application Configuration

Once you have created the application configuration, you need to configure it by changing the
parameter values.

1. Select Configuration Documentation to see a list of the parameters to be configured.

2. Select a parameter and use the dropdown list box to assign a value. You can display a
description of possible values by selecting the ? help button next to the dropdown list box. If there
are other detailed descriptions for a parameter, an additional ? button is displayed.
3. There are two value types:

Static values Values that can be selected from a dropdown list box. These values do not have a
button in the Component Configuration column.
Values based on component configuration You must first configure a component, such as a
connection to your SAP CRM system, before you can assign the configured value to the
parameter. These parameters have a button in the Component Configuration column. For
example, there is a jco button for configuring connection parameters to the SAP system. If no
value is assigned to these parameters, you have to create a new component configuration. For
more information, see section “Creating a New Component Configuration”. If a value is assigned, it
is likely that you will not have to make any changes during the installation.

Activating the Application Configuration

After completing the XCM setting please make sure that you restart the IPC Server related process
through NWA tool or JAVA Visual Admin tool

XCM: Specific Settings for the Product Configuration Interface

This process gives you an overview of all the settings that you need to make in Extended
Configuration Management (XCM) for the product configuration interface.The names of the created
application configurations have to be maintained in table COMM_IPC_PROP Or using the below
path SPRO > CRM > Basic Functions > Product Configuration > Define XCM Application
