External Catalog Call Structure

[Former Member]

Hi,
I have to create a external catalog in SRM system (OCI specific). Should catalog provider give the call structure to be maintained in SPRO config? or we have to try ourselves? How do i know what are all the parameters should be used to a specific catalog?
When i try to open the external catalog which i configured, it says "only secure content can be displayed" and the catalog page doesnt look alike the page if i open directly in browser. What i am missing in config, please suggest.

Regards,
Prasad

Hi Prasad,

No matter it is internal or external catalog, the standard call structure should be maintained in the following path:

SAP Supplier Relationship Management
SRM Server
Master Data
Content Management
Define External Web Services

Usually for internal catalog, the parameters below should be maintained:

For external catalog, you also have to discuss with catalog provider to check if they need any other parameters to be passed to them.

By the way, you also have to maintain this external catalog id in the attributes of users in ppoma_bbp, so that it could be displayed while creating SC.
