There are lots of confusion floating around in the customer's mind when they are trying to install CIG Addon. Adoption of Ariba CIG involves in two steps:
- Enable the Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway in Ariba solutions
- Install the Ariba CIG add-on in SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA.
CIG add-on comprises of two different components:
- ARBCI1 - Primary component for all Ariba Solutions supported from SAP ECC 6.0 EhP0 onwards
- ARBCI2 - Secondary component supported from SAP ECC 6.0 EhP4 onwards
While
ARBCI1/2 100 is the release for
SAP ERP solutions,
ARBCI1/2 10S is the release for SAP
S/4HANA systems.
Installation:
All SAP ERP customers should install ARBCI1 100 and ARBCI2 100 if they are in SAP ECC 6.0 EhP4 onwards. Those customers who are in SAP ECC 6.0 EhP0 to EhP3, just installation of ARBCI1 100 is sufficient.
Customers who are in SAP ECC 6.0 EhP8 should install additional ACP (Attribute Change Package) package. It is due to the fact that most of the dependent components are retrofitted to SAP APPL. So they are required to install the below ACP packages:
- ARBCI1====100
- ARBCI2====100
You can search for the above packages in SAP One Support Launchpad and download those packages.
In the same fashion, all SAP S/4HANA customers are required to install both ARBCI1 10S and ARBCI2 10S in their systems. Additionally, they are required to install the below ACP packages:
- ARBCI1====10S
- ARBCI2====10S
Customers might ask the questions why there is a requirement for keeping two different components. CIG add-on is supported from SAP ECC 6.0 EhP0 onwards due to the fact of customer demands.
So, all the integration solutions for Ariba cloud are supported from EhP0 onwards and it is taken care by ARBCI1 component. However, few of the features are supported from EhP4 onwards due to the limitation of the application layer.
Ariba Sourcing now supports retail industry for their strategic procurements. To support the retail integration,
ARBCIGR component is delivered. It is purely applicable for SAP IS-Retail customers and other customers are not required to install this add-on.
All SAP ERP IS-Retail customers are required to install ARBCIGR 100 component while SAP S/4HANA customers have to install ARBCIGR 10S.
