Feature Pack 1 - BDC Browser

[Former Member]

Hi,

Im using Duet Enterprise FP1 an I tried to create Gateway Objects by using Screen Scrapping (Flight model example)

It all worked fine until I tried to generate the BDC model by using the BDC Browser.

It says I have to configure the Service Settings.

Do I need an Enterprise Service Repository (ESR) to generate the BDC Models?

Thanks

Hi Pit,

yes, you have to configure an ESR. Just a few days ago we published a guide on [how to configure the BDC Browser|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/duet-enterprise?rid=/library/uuid/50aeb0a4-7afd-2e10-918b-83231de26cab].

Hi Holger,

thank you!

I already read the How-To: "Create Gateway Objects Using Screen Scraping"

One question: At the step (create data model) where I provide the "Data Source Type" an the "System Alias" I chose our backend system, because there the example flight data is populated.

When I continue it says "System with alias IDS_800 does not support Screen Scraping" !

So I ran the report (SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR) to create the example data at the SCL System.

This worked fine for this case, but what am I to do, that I can publish data from the backend for further scenarios?

Thank you!

Hi Pit,

To use screen scrapper you will need to have software component IW_SCS installed in your backend system.

Can you please check if you already have it? Please note: This is required only for screen scrapper and not for BOR or RFC generator tools.

Hi,

ok so i need to install the IW_SCS on the backend.

No matter how Screen Scraping, BOR or RFC i will need an ESR? Am I right?

Yes, correct. ESR is prerequisite in Duet Enterprise landscape at design time.

Hi Pit,

Yes, ESR is required. This is used to generate the SOAP service interface in the second step in the BDC model generation process.
