3d visual enterprise generator 8.0

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Im confused about the documentation: Installation Guide SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator 8.0.

I have to integrate the Visual Generator with the ERP and Content Server and the solution is: by user/pwd ( but for this I need the .zip file from note 1694219, which is not available) and the SSL certificate ( which I have no idea what is it).

Pls any advise to fix this

thx

Hi Chris,

I contacted the responsible people and the note is now available.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is described in the guide in section

5.2.1 Configuring Authentication:

Certificate Exchange:

This method is based on the mutual trust of Client Authentication certificates between an SAP System and an SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator installation.

So you will need to create digitally signed certificates for both your ERP and your Visual Enterprise Generator system to establish trust.

If you want to setup your landscape to use SSL then you will need to jump to section

Certificate Exchange (Just below section 5.2.1)

The SAP system and SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator communicate with each other using Web services. The SAP system calls Web services to start and stop conversion jobs on the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator system, and the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator calls Web services to log statuses on the SAP system.

Both sides require authentication to call Web services. This requires client certificates to be mapped to users on both sides. The systems therefore need to identify and authenticate the other side’s certificate.

This section explains how the certificates are implemented, exchanged, and mapped to a user.

Personally the other method is much easier to implement.

I hope this helps in some way.

Kind Regards

Hello Fergal,

I did something, but I have a question: when I start the SAP 3D Visual Data Integration Upload Client 8.0 the wrong URL is there. Any idea where should I use it?

thx

Hi Chris,

I thinks it's in the guide, here is the one i use

http://machinename:80/SAPERPIntegrationService/  now you have to ensure you are using port 80 and that its  not blocked by your firewall etc (for me i had to change this port in IIS to get it to work).

I think also you need to configure IIS for anonymous access for it to work.

Also make sure you have your VDI workflow configured for it to work.

hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Hi Chris,

You will need to check which port you have enabled for http in IIS.  What I meant above was that when used port 80 it turned out it was blocked, so i could not use it.  I then reconfigured IIS and used port 8080 and it worked.

Kind Regards
