MII Tech Specs

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can any one tell me what should be the Functional and Technical specs for MII should contain? Is there any formats or examples exists for the same?

Thanks,

Hi..

No formats as such..

However, you can have the following topics in FRS:

1. Introduction: Purpose/Scope/Definition etc

2. Functional Specifications: Flow diagrams, Functional/Reporting requirements

3. Integration/Interface Requirements

4. Performance/ Usability Constraints

5. Operating Environment / Quality Requirements

etc.

In Technical Specs, you can have:

1. Introduction: Purpose/Scope/Definition etc

2. System Overview

3. Software Architecture

4. Design of Reports inclusing Input/ Output/ Pseudo code/ Variables / Flow diagrams

5. Quality Requirements

etc.

Hope this helps.

Functional Specification:-you have to explain wht is your functional need and process(How operator whill do in MII)

Technical specification:- write flow diagream and steps.like in ECC how you will you map MII details and idoc name with tcode(POIT for trigerring PO idoc) and how will you manage /flow in MII BLS.

Hi Raveen,

Please look up PDF installation requirements and "Generate Documentation" in your MII instance. There is a very nice feature for generating the core graphics and details of your objects.

Hi Raveen,

There is a feature of the MII Workbench that utilizes the PDF functionality of MII. However you will need to install the pdf functionality which you will need to read the instructions for from the Help button. Once the pdf capability is installed, go to the workbench and open a transaction. In the workbench menu, select Transaction - Generate Documentation (towards the bottom of the drop down menu). Click on it once and it will request where you want the file saved. Pick a target path and hit okay. MII will generate a pdf file with everything you need to know about the transaction (actually more than you really need to know, but you can then cut and paste).

It is a neat feature and is pretty nice for creating project documentation without spending all your time doing screenshots and typing.

Have fun!

Hi Mike,

When you say PDF, are you referring to PDF action block? Do I need to deploy them first? This is something pretty new for me.

can you guide me through this.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi Raveen,

Have you gotten the "Generate Documentation" menu item to work?

Hi Mike,

Ya i able to generate Documentation, but I dont see the flow charts in the document.

Thanks,

Raveen

[agentry_src · Accepted solution]

Hi Raveen,

The nice thing about transactions is that they are set up as flow charts inherently. Should not need flow charts as long as the transactions are shown as images in the pdf. This one more reason to keep your transactions from growing too large.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what we are doing wrong?

The PDF actions won't work with us, the option "generate documentation" in menu Transaction of the MII workbench is still disabled.

What did we do?

1) Download the PDFActions.jar from SAP Note 1325977.

2) Also download the iText.jar from http://olex.openlogic.com/packages/itext/1.4.5 and iTextAsian.jar from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/files/extrajars/ExtraJars1.0/

3) Go to the MII administration - System Management - Custom Actions and upload the PDFActions.jar file + iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar as dependency files. Press save.

The status of the PDFActions.jar assembly file is Deployed. Is this correct? Cause we didn't do anything to deploy it yet.

4) Go to UME and create a new role "PDF_role". Add actions: XMII_PDFAction_all, XMII_PDFservices and XMII_CustomAction_all to this role. Assign the role to your user. (our user is also a XMII_superadmin)

5) Check the menu option "generate documentation" in Transaction menu of the MII Workbench -> still disabled.

What did we forget to do?

Is it possible to somewhere undeploy this? can be usefull in the future...

Do we still need to do something in NetWeaver?

We can see the PDF Fonts menu in MII administration. Do we need to add a font?

System info:

SAP MII 12.1 SP07 and Netweaver CE 7.1 EHP1 SP05.

Best regards,
