Pre Requisite to use SAPME PAPI Interface.

[former_member835417]

Dear Experts,

We have Oracle ERP, standalone SAP MII & ME systems in our landscape.

We have a requirement to integrate SAP PCo data to SAP ME system. Do we need SAPMEINT configured to pass data from to SAP MII to SAP ME?

What is the pre requisite to use SAP ME PAPI action blocks in SAP MII BLS.

Hi Surender,

Happy to be corrected but I believe you will need to have ran the SAPMEINTCTC wizard to connect ME and MII together. Details can be found here and normally carried out by the Basis team.

SAP ME Installation Guide

This should then give your MII environment the access/credentials to be able to run the SAP ME PAPI blocks.

Thanks

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your response.

Correct me If I am wrong, Can we run SAPMEINTCTC wizard even though we are not integrating our SAP ME / MII systems with SAP ERP system.

Thanks & Regards,

Surender Kamaraj.

Hi!

Not sure but formally it might be enough to just deploy SAPMEINT component once it includes the action block. But you will have at least to manually create a needed record in MII Credential Store with a use who has necessary roles for integration with SAP ME. Maybe something else will be needed from what is created by SAPMEINTCTC.

Instead of PAPI calls from MII, you can use calls to respective SAPME PAPI Webservices.

Hi Sergiy,

I am able to see SAP ME Integration action blocks in MII workbench (Not sure if SAPMEINT component got properly deployed). I have created a user in ME and assigned necessary roles (SAP_ME_INTEGRATOR, SAP_ME_ADMINISTRATOR, Etc).

I have created credentials for this user in MII credential stores and tried to access PAPI methods. Got error message "Premature end of File".

Thanks & Regards,

Surender Kamaraj.

Please check SAP Note 3246765.

Hi Sergiy,

Thanks for sharing the Note '3246765'. This note explains if no any PAPI found for some reason, SAP ME PAPI Interface configuration dialog displays a technical message 'Premature end of file'. I think no any PAPI found due to SAPMEINT configuration setup missing.

Is it mandatory to have SAP ERP to configure SAPMEINT or it is purely optional?.

I guess the Note means that you need to install a patch from this Note.

Formally, ERP is not needed to execute ME PAPI call, however, you might be missing some setup which is configured by SAPMEINTCTC. Though, if you configure same setup manually, I would expect that ME PAPI calls will be working.
