Creating appointments in Lotus Notes calendar

Hello,

Does anybody know if SAP can create appointments in the Lotus Notes calendar?

The clients uses the SAP ESS Leave Request application.

As soon as the request is approved, an appointment should get created in the Lotus Notes calendar.

Is this possible?

If yes, which are the prerequisites?

Thanks for all your input!

Kr,

Werner

Hi Werner,

if I understood you right, you need a way to create appointments in the Lotus Notes Calendar out of SAP (Backend or Portal) ?

So then Atlantic is not the right solution because it's the other way round.

As Alan mentioned there is no standard solution for this requirement (Business Package or something else) and it's not easy but we've done this in several projects.

There are several solutions possible, it depends on your requirements and on your system landscape:

One way is to use an XI/PI-Environment to synchronise the calendar-data.

Another way is to solve it via a 3rd party Solution. Then you can create also an UI e.g. in the portal so that a user can see his Notes Calendar and the Calendars of his colleagues to proof how many persons are already away in this time before he creates a leave request. Of course the appointment is also created in the Notes-Calendar if the request is approved.

If you need more information just write to: tkniewel at conet.de

Best Regards,

Thorsten

Hi Werner,

The bad news - it's not trivial to develop. There are all sorts of ESS rules and customizing to take into account so a simple form or RFC call is not going to work.

The good news - project Atlantic is a solution being jointly developed by IBM and SAP integrate Lotus Notes with SAP and part of it it includes exactly this ESS integration

If you happen to be at teched in Berlin there is a presentation about this tomorrow.
